Just for the record I'm not trying to gain friends or enemies here. I just feel that being a balanced open minded hard working honest transparent person in society seems a prudent place to be.

Maybe if much of the rest of society had a more open minded and balanced stance we may have less conflict and achieve more in our short time on this planet.

If we had more doers in govt rather than sayers or naysayers then maybe we might get some sh1t done.

Appreciated. However, just for the record I completely agree with everything you said, and indicated it in my comment. I wasn’t trying to make friends or enemies either.

Appreciated and understood. I agree with much you say and disagree much you say. I'd say that is more than most I seem to come into contact with! Alien and another planet I feel I am and from sometimes

Whilst the term Mars bar can be used in connection with a woman's body, my understanding is that it does not relate to the styling of pubic hair.

But good to see that as a society we still champion full frontal exposure of women in TV and film and the eroticisation of breasts, whilst failing to ensure equality and do the same with men, save for Grand Sumo on NHK World Japan.

So for your delight, here is a massively jugged Bulgarian fella called Aoiyama.

I am sure you will all agree that he is much more pleasing on the eye than a flat-chested stick insect like Kotoeko.

I’m sorry but, for me personally, moobs just don’t float my boat.

Well, I see that all the posts now criticizing Benny's posts have also now been taken down. How very effing totally tidy! Look, I don't care if Benny is the most revered person on this forum and has been here since the forum started, What he said was absolutely nauseating to a lot of people on here, yes, a lot, and yet .........no apology from the person. There is a line to deeply offensive posts and he crossed it. Some people just let others get away with stuff because ...........why, you tell me?
This should not have been the kind of thread which should have attracted such nastiness either. Perhaps this is a forum where "mates" can get away with stuff. Mods, you please advise me.
Maybe it is me who should move on although it isn't like he hasn't been nasty on another thread just recently is it?

Hi Phil

I was one of the posters who flagged up concerns on the subject and Zep/Matt subsequently replied:

As Zep has previously mentioned, the wheels are in motion to rectify the issues some report.

A code of conduct will appear shortly which everyone has to adhere to. If not, it’s an automatic 1 week ban. Persisting will result in stronger measures.

I will be the first to admit that I have taken my eye off the ball with regards to this forum, it’s no surprise why. The introduction of Sportsitalia has taken all of my time but it is forum related...in offering cost effective, transparent service to members.

I also strongly believe the lock down measures are very much affecting members physiological state.

New moderators are being appointed from first Jan 2021, all not from the certain ‘inner circle’ some refer to but 3 persons and regular posters of current.

It’s never been SportsMaserati’s mantra do two things:

  1. over moderate
  2. charge for use
We will be taking a new direction in 2021 and I urge you all to champion rather than kick that direction.

Thank you. Conaero

For now, I am content to accept that and support the promised improvements to the forum. If we don't like the outcome we can voice our concerns at that point and each decide on our continued participation as appropriate.

2020 has been a lousy year for so many folk including forum members and Matt and his Moderator(s). I vote we cut them some slack as a New Year gesture and look forward to a better year in which we can all breathe easy (hopefully in all respects).

What a way to go though , when I was 25 none of my mates had mums that looked like Kym Marsh , or when I was 15 for that matter , I'd probably have exploded in some sort of testosterone eruption if they had.

I have made use of the block function for the only person on here whose posts I did not want to come across - it’s worked perfectly .

I’ve done the same. Simply blocking one person can make a huge difference to ones enjoyment of the forum. I thoroughly recommend it.

I only discovered this feature a couple of months ago, have now used it twice, but it does get a bit frustrating when someone else comments on a post the ignored member posted, and your left thinking'what the h**l are they on about
