Magere Hein

Hein, my original post pertained to members who have stated that they are 'of a childs age' which is more like going up to the newsagents counter with a Porn mag, being asked your age and saying 'Well, im 15 but it doesn't matter because I can see people shagging online anyway. Yeah, I understand that we have no idea who signs up to this place, deranged, underage or otherwise but when its obvious maybe we ought to be a bit cautious. There is so much shit flying around nowdays in Blighty about kids accessing 'innapropriate websites' it will only take one parent to start the ball rolling. We should never feel that smug that we are immune from unwanted attention or summat. I appreciate your concern and I freely admit that my unavoidably Dutch view on such matters doesn't sense the finer points of the latest moral outrage in the tabloids. I wouldn't want a forum invasion by Mumsnet members.

I've spent the last few minutes looking at age checks for a forum. Other than using credit cards there's no way of knowing the age of the person typing an age or day of birth. That reality makes this discussion academic. Feel free to continue it.

Super Admin powers. It just occured to me that I have used it in the past, when I succesfully wrote SPAM in a post.

My god-like admin powers. I learned that fact just when I posted the menu.

Here's the menu: SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM and SPAM

There's that. I have no way of knowing ages, Besides:, If an underage wants to pose as an adult s/he can. I'll treat them as such. Don't worry about the swear filter. I now abuse it so that it replaces the names of advertised pharmaceuticals by the name of a well-known canned meat product. It seems the good guys are currently on top in the guerrila war against spammers, so I may just as well disable it.

90 years, the horror...

Several good points were raised in the last few posts, the ones about chat in particular. I don't particularly care about the age of forum users, I believe normal moderation can take care of bad boys and girls. Perhaps that's a naive notion. Chat is a different matter, though. From an incident in chat earlier today I learned that chat is logged and that those logs are visible to admins. This means that claims of abuse of chat can be investigated, but not immediately. This subject needs some more thought and discussion. Assuming LFN won't mind I split this topic from Room 101.

Oi! Please keep your pissing contest away from the main forum. It isn't a pretty sight.

Nope. Forth Road Bridge was switched on when I passed it. Forgot which account you logged on with?? And worse: I had no internet connection in the hired Ford Fiesta I drove. So are Cat O'Falk and Hein the same bloke? No.

Should work with racist humans as well.

German newspaper Die Zeit has an article about Spassky from 10 October 2015, on the occasion of the German premiere of Pawn Sacrifice, with a picture: 78 and doesn't look well.

That's the reason why I send in my teams after Xmas.

All in one person?

Cancer free! As if. http://www.people.com/article/rita-wilson-officially-cancer-free-one-hundred-percent-healthy-prepares-tour I should put together a theme team strictly of those who the previous year declare to be cancer free. Guaranteed 1/4 drop dead. Denial, it's not a river in Africa.

My gas meter and I aren't complaining. Indeed.With weather like we had yesterday, I love the greenhouse effect.

Oh, BTW: Ha-ha!

How time flies. The collission happened October 11th, 2013, according to the article you linked to.

wow, he died like Leo di Caprio in "Titanic" Be it on a smaller scale.

Is that a euphemism for "drank 'isself to death"?

Apparently Bernie Sanders is the candidate who best matches my answers.

They weren't really edits, just moved to this thread from the stairway to heaven one I think Hein meant her edits to the posts saying they had been moved in here from Stairway to Heaven. Personally I think everything in this thread should be returned to wherever it came from. More particularly, I moved them. ISTM this is the only place I can move them to, apart from the bin.

First time I heard about this man. Deathlist, it's not just entertainment...
