    Right, I am not sure what exactly has happened around here, but I feel the need to remind people of a few things:

    THIS IS NOT A SERIOUS FORUM. Serious topics will be binned and persistent offenders will be banned. I will go easy on newbies, I will not go easy on regulars who ought to know better.

    NO BITCHINESS. What is tolerated on other fora will not be tolerated here.

    Both Robbo and myself have purposely taken a very laid back attitude to moderating this forum. It has worked well, with only two (serious) bans since the forum started over a year ago.

    I think the forum has become a victim of it's own success and with an influx of new people, the lines between what is acceptable and what is not appear to have blurred.

    Rest assured, I will not hesitate in reminding people where those lines are. I don't want to turn this into a heavily moderated forum, but I will crack down on any nonsense.

    Signed,

    The Management.

    Post reported for being serious and breaking the charter rules!

    Edit: As a mod you should know better, shame on you!

    Aren't we all the comedians today? :D

    At least a serious thread has now become a "take the piss of the big bad mod" thread.

    So, mission accomplished. No charters were harmed in the making of this thread.

    Actually the bald patch is in a bad state of affairs at the moment. I got badly burned last week and now of course it is peeling. It ain't a pretty sight.

    This is unfair some of us are afflicted with chronic seriousness and should not be excluded like this.
    Obviously not me, my only chronic illness is stupidity
