They've been angels compared to the unpleasant days of mid-2006...

BARNES OUT
Towns banning everyone on a whim, I believe.

How many bans have you had?

About 14, iirc. It's been a long winding road, and I may have forgotten the odd one here or there. There have been many posters who have taken exception to my antics over the years. Make that 15 bans if you count Spanish_vicente btw.

It involved the word "poo" being added to the filter.

Pretty much. I have a feeling Towns still hasn't forgiven me for Paint Turtling a photo of Gary Glitter's face onto his body in a photo with his girlfriend...

That's just awful, shouldn't happen on a forum. Saying "get back on topic" would have been a bit unnecessary anyway, but now you're actually deleting posts because they weren't serious enough responses? Jesus Christ. Something's gone badly wrong.I’ve deleted a few posts that are a bit OTT. I get the need for humor, but can we not make this a joke/pun thread and keep it somewhat serious?

I don't think those posts had nothing to add fwiw, the point was that if you ban certain words we can just come up with something even more unnecessarily graphic anyway. But you thought that if you didn't see any value to the posts that meant that there was none and you could safely cut out our tongue-in-cheek contributions. That's so, so far beyond what the moderators' jobs should be.

The posts that I deleted had various graphic substitutions for describing a ***ual assault. I didn't think they were appropriate for a family forum, even if they were used in a joking context. I'm sorry if that comes across as over-moderation, but IMO that's not a topic to be making light of.

My post that was deleted was about using the term "vasectomied" if a bowler was made to look sterile. Hardly a graphic substitution for a ***ual assault.
