For someone to see themselves getting slagged off in here they would need to be following the thread...which means up until they got slagged off they enjoyed coming here to see who was getting slagged off.

One thread stuck in the lounge which everyone knows is full of dross is enough to put people off posting?

If the post is enough to appear in thus thread is it something that is wanted in the rest of PH?

Perhaps if some of the cringy posts were cut down on else where then PH would become a better place?

This thread could becomea form of forum moderation?!

Some of the posts on here were unacceptable and putting people off posting.
Frankly, I'm incredulous both that this is the case, and also, that action is being taken because of it.

In a slightly more vernacular voice, WTF?

Surely this thread may as well just be locked and/or deleted now as it no longer has any purpose?

The powers that be probably want the place to look a little friendlier and more inviting, they'll need the extra page clicks for advertising revenue to make up for Pistonfest bombing out.

Funny that if someone feels put off by posting because of this thread, they've obviously been in here reading it, having a right good old laugh until they saw their name come up.

Lets keep it simple, shall we.

Posting rule #1 on PH talks about not posting stuff that any reasonable person would find offensive, annoying or upsetting.

idiots, morons
Shirley people can find being called an idiot and a moron annoying or upsetting? I wouldn't expect you to admit double standards but it seems some people can write what they please and others can't write anything even moderately joking.

In all walks of life there are those, ie the majority, who abide by the law and the rules society sets itself, and then there are those who feel those same laws and rules don't apply to them.

Drop the personal aspect,

And any idiot that posts garbage and incorrect crap about mods will be banned from the thread. It's a tough enough and time consuming activity as it stands without morons shouting for their rights, etc, etc sleep

I completely understand the mods concern about this thread. More because of the topic than individual comments.

well this thread has tanked! It was fun while it lasted.


If it has done one positive thing for me, its shown me that there are people out there stupider than me, that some people really do take their belief of self worth and importance as seriously as breathing!

But most of all its taught me to keep out of the watches section! there's far too many powerfully built company directors in there who think nothing of humiliating someone who has just bought a watch for more than my yearly salary, but still deem it a cheap knock off wobble


Maybe the thread has been highlighted by someone who has taken offence to their ousting in here.
But if you cant handle the ribbing, don't do the cringe wink

Not cringe, god forbid, but potential for lots of entertainment

"Chunj, is this your Ignis?"

The only two people that I know are mods on here are Kinky and JAYB. I am not sure why.

I saw someone get out of the lift on the fourth floor when they'd pressed the 5th floor button yesterday.


Is this how the thread works now?

From the Chunj thread roflroflrofl

That is clearly not the one belonging to Chunj.

This one has the later carbon fibre monacle holder installed, (you can just see the reflection of it in the streetlight casing above)

I believe this is chassis number 7208.7 which was rebuilt in 04 after being drifted rather enthusiastically.

I would say that posts like this:

MajorProblem said:
How come doctors / surgeons / engineers etc need to hide in a shipping container to come over here?

Oh that's right, they are third world scuzzers who are just dragging the UK down to their non existent standards of living.

Perhaps if we prevented people like this receiving any benefit at all, in fact a massive overhaul of the system would / could make life a lot better for UK residents who actually contribute by working and paying taxes as it's those people who find it hardest to have kids as they are trying not to be a burden. There's no point breeding the lazy and the feckless.

I wouldn't give a fk if all 35 were dead. I'd have lorries drive thru gas chambers if I could. (Not very PC I know)
Are probably more likely to put off new visitors than the bulk of this thread.

The thread itself is also quite cringeworthy generally, so I suppose I've killed two immigrants with one stone.
