Let's see how he would approach the Russia/Ukraine situation. This will be a good interview question. @BennyD, what's your strategy here?

Quietly tell Putin that if tanks roll over the border he’ll have to spend the rest of his life looking over his shoulder for assassins various and the relevant measures will be taken to electronically freeze, and take control of all his assets. The guy is a menace and needs a 9mil pill in the face, behind the bike sheds.

And if that doesn’t have the desired effect, Nuke france.

Poisonous ftard or comedy genius…discuss

If this is a serious question so you can judge whether stricter moderation is needed, than I fear the only way you'll get a true representation of how the forum feels, is an anonymous vote.
The majority of people that will be offended by his posts, won't want to openly voice that opinion due to the offensive replies and confrontation they will undoubtedly get.

If it is indeed to massage his ego, carry on...


My opinion is, I'm pretty sure that if I met him in person I'd get on with him well, as I get on with most people and have many friends with equally sick and offensive sense of homours. And if I'm honest, in person, I probably need a swear filter myself as would most of you that I've met lol. But in person it's different.

But on here, written down, its just unnecessary and offensive 90% of the time. I wouldn't do it, others don't do it, and I don't think anyone else would get away with it.

But if the mods are happy that that's the impression they want to give of the forum, then that's fine.

Yes to all that.

But this feature has been a breakthrough for me:

Would it be possible to adjust the anti swear filter to remove any combination of the letters t n c u appearing together in text? I think it’s the only offensive one.
Words like function, Scunthorpe, community, uncut, might become illegible, I can’t think of any others, but it will be mildly amusing when the word bot removes them.

So I will no longer be able to tell people where I got my first Maserati from?

That's why you have moderators, but as Sam says:

Having worked in Automotive workshops for over 40 years foul language is part of working life many words useful good or bad it seems.
At home or anywhere else it really is unacceptable.
I'm all for schoolboy humour but not destroying individuals.

If they do that, people are going to have to come up with a new word when referring to Benny :p

Seriously though, some thought should perhaps be given as to how new members and casual visitors view the forum.

Genuinely what is the point of this thread? It's in the humour, jokes and other so I'm thinking a poke and a bit of fun?

The forum is an inclusive place. LGBTQ+. Tourettes. Whatever. All are welcome. Except, maybe. those that associate as some form of cutlery.
