Hi, this is Ali, back from my holiday and a bit worried about the state of the forums. There's been a few bannings, of which a few of you are upset about, but a few ground rules need to be set.
Swearing, in any form is not allowed. This is a family forum (believe it or not) and we don't want young people coming on here reading foul language, or indeed, parents coming on here and seeing the kind of language that some of you post. The swear filter is there for a reason, and that's not for you to try and beat it with s p a c e s or 'quote marks'. If we find any swearing, of any kind, it'll be deleted, and you may be banned.
Being offensive to one another is something we will also not tolerate. As you all know, someone was banned last week (in my absence, I might add) for calling someone a dirty homo, or something like that. This just ain't acceptable I'm afraid. Just as bad is topics like the one saying things like 'so and so likes hairy men' - it might have been a joke, but some people don't have the same sense of humour as you, and din't find it funny. We're not saying stop having fun, but topics like that serve only to annoy.
Some people have accused us of favouritism in the past ie. certain people get away with saying stuff without a warning, and some don't. From now on, there'll be no swearing at all, BY ANYBODY on the site, whether you've been here a day or 3 years. Posts with swearing or offensive writing in them will be deleted, and depending on the severity of the post, will be warned/banned. This means everyone.
This shouldn't be hard to do, the vast majority of you are adults, or at least are mature enough to behave like civilised people. These are our forums, and you'll post on here by our rules, whether you like it or not. If anyone has any problems with this, let me know, but I'd like this to be a new start for these forums, with no stupid slanging matches between users, no *starring out* offensive posts and no deliberately getting people annoyed. If you've got something you wanna get out of your system, do it someplace else.
I hope you can all agree to these rules.

Nope, that got boring.
I try to go on vengeful quests for true love now, like in Gladiator.

No bear wrestling in your pants?
I would expect at least a grope. But gentle and sensitive to a woman's needs of course.
And then a pizza.
And some beer.

Oh, I'm heartbroken. Oh well.
Meh.
I'll hug you if you think it'll help. But no boob touching...well ok just a little

I feel all victimised and stuff.
Soon I will retaliate with some serious-as-hell staring at the monitor and intense look of concern.

Careful Loki - that tagline could be deemed as an offensive attack on an individual and get you banned !
There are certain people on here at the mo that don't hold you in the highest regard at the present time and you are giving them ammunition !!
(I think Goatboy's a ponce as well but don't tell him I said so)
