    Read through the who's been banned and why thread, and you'll see what can get you banned. Of course the moderators are inconsistent, capricious, arbitrary, patronising and partial.

    Not really. It might be tasteless to you, but I hardly think a picture of a murderous looking kitten, promotes the idea that all manic people are murderers.

    Equality and inclusion don't really apply to this site - except everyone has equal access regardless of disability, mental health, ethnic origin, sexuality, religion, hair colour, age, toe-nail length,... and in General everyone has the right to have the piss taken out of them without fear or favour.
    Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

        Noted. I've added "patronising" to cover that.

            Glad to see the Welsh continue to have unfettered access.

                      Thanks for the clarification, NotAllThere

                      I'm genuinely not looking to rattle moderator cages and sometimes my own SOH is wide of the mark. However...

                      There are laws about what you can and can't say about particular protected groups online. The rule of law applies to this forum and in terms of jurisdiction (let's say this site was hosted by servers in the US) the law is fairly consistent across the western world on that point.

                      I'll give you an example, let's say I posted a picture of a woman and made a lewd joke about women in the workplace. I expect a moderator would remove that post but let's say they didn't and a female forum member cried indirect discrimination.

                      In court the defence of "we all have a right to take the pee without fear or favour" would be absolutely taken apart.

                      Having said that, I accept that on twitter etc. people are saying much worse and getting away with it. Is it right? No, but they only get away with it until someone flags the tweet and I think there is scope on this forum for me to be clear about my red lines.
