BRFR Cake Stop 'breaking news' miscellany

[briantrumpet]

We need an etymology thread, just for Brian. Clearly the relationship between twats and daffodils isn't part of the language filter.

Yeah, I might have been wrong on the insults, but they are all in the best possible taste.

That's like an episode of Blackadder.

Let's try leftiebollox

Wahey, it works. Would a shame if the term that I trademarked in BR didn't pass the swear filter 😊

Is this forum moderated?

farkety fark. You all smell.

No. Seems not.

It’s basically self moderated.
99% of users are capable of having adult discussions without getting offended or causing unnecessary offence.
It works surprisingly well.
There was a previous version which was moderated, and certain groups would spend more time moaning to the moderator about other members, rather than actually engaging sensibly. Eventually the moderators got fed up of the nonsense.

Which is pretty much how BR ended up. The only improvement after the last revamp was that the prudish swear filter disappeared... not that there was a torrent of swearing, but sometimes only certain words will do...

You might not have been the first...

That's 2 words...although I support the general sentiment.

Why would I want an avatar of an average Labour voter?

@Pinno718 - I promise not to wield my CS emoji graphic.

I can't promise that.

The lack of moderation across BR did ostensibly work. They did do things int he background (never explained) so there were limits but we went from the Stasi to the Berlin wall coming down overnight.

What a remarkable resemblance.

 

[Pinno718]

errr .... have you actually read any current NACA threads?!?

He's got a point you know @briantrumpet . Perhaps you should have called it Smokers corner or Refugee corner or The Hull (as in Hull of the SS Uganda)? There's still the edit function
All suggestions welcome.

It's nice to come on here and not have to slap a Like on every thread. Farq me, it's bloody ridiculous. I got 20k+ likes on BR in 16 years over 53k posts and here, i'll hit that Like figure sometime next week.
