deadsox 894 Posted December 20, 2015 Thanks all. My confusion is abated although not dispelled. I also remember the S word in WW II movies but never thought it would get someone banned from this particularly loose forum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Youwanticewiththat 611 Posted December 20, 2015 Bit easier to pass a straw than a log too. However my complaint is concerning Ugly Boy's Avatar- even time I happen to see it a little bit of sick comes into my mouth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr. Zorders 1,272 Posted December 21, 2015 Can you move my post back into the Howto thread so it makes sense? (in the sense of, me addressing Predictor, and me not having "started" a thread about my own suspension?) I thought Schwieinhund was the most impossible to take seriously "swearword" in all of Europe. But then I guess, Europe is a continent where they think people who "smear" Halibuts deserve more punishment than the actual people who do the beheading so... stupid to "expect" anything really. Maybe we could not delete all accounts just cause they're abandoned though, some of them are quite amusing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not quite ready for it. I'll have to check a few things, like whether a switch resets existing reputations. I'll do my research over xmas and unless I find (or am told) serious objections, I'll make the switch on Sunday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Banshees Scream 110 Posted December 21, 2015 It's a festive season where good spirits should possess people with kindness and generosity and instead these members are at a major disagreement or whatever you want to call it. If there was one sandwich left there would be a big feud between these sort of members. No doubt about it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tempus Fugit 214 Posted December 21, 2015 Dear Sir/Madam, I wish to complain that my life has not panned out the way I would've hoped for.

Dr. Zorders 1,272 Posted December 25, 2015 MH....... We already live in a depressing enough world. Can you please not add to it by tinkering with what isn't broken, and pointlessly erasing DL forum history by leaving people who had lots of likes with none, just because Deathray of all people asked you to go fiddling under the bonnet? IMO we've already had the world screwed up enough by dull and misguided white people who, y'know, got carried away in a fit of bored narcissism, and decided to appoint themselves as world-changing revolutionary geniuses who "move us forward". I would have thought adopting features from the Daily Mail comments would be the last thing most people want here anyway so that just makes it even more baffling coming from him How about increasing the PM inbox capacity instead (yeah I know you probably can't do that ) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
