I hope you can rethink this. You are a good poster.
For the mods:
I thought the mod response showed a deft touch, thank you. I’m glad to be on a board where the spirit of the law rules over the letter of the law. The analogy about keeping a balance to the force is a good one. Thank you for working to hold various factors in creative tension at the same time.
For fucks sake. This isn’t hard to understand.
The odd gif or or two, when it adds to the discussion and feels relevant is fine.
What we don’t want is threads turning into streams of gifs. That’s adds nothing, and just slows down the site.
Not strict rules (except for abuse) but typically guidelines (trust me you don’t want rules)
Please treat this discussion forum with the same respect you would a public park. We, too, are a shared community resource — a place to share skills, knowledge and interests through ongoing conversation.
These are not hard and fast rules, merely guidelines to aid the human judgment of our community and keep this a clean and well-lighted place for civilized public discourse.
Help us make this a great place for discussion by always working to improve the discussion in some way, however small. If you are not sure your post adds to the conversation, think over what you want to say and try again later.
The topics discussed here matter to us, and we want you to act as if they matter to you, too. Be respectful of the topics and the people discussing them, even if you disagree with some of what is being said.
One way to improve the discussion is by discovering ones that are already happening. Spend time browsing the topics here before replying or starting your own, and you’ll have a better chance of meeting others who share your interests.
You may wish to respond to something by disagreeing with it. That’s fine. But remember to criticize ideas, not people. Please avoid:
Instead, provide reasoned counter-arguments that improve the conversation.
The conversations we have here set the tone for every new arrival. Help us influence the future of this community by choosing to engage in discussions that make this forum an interesting place to be — and avoiding those that do not.
Discourse provides tools that enable the community to collectively identify the best (and worst) contributions: bookmarks, likes, flags, replies, edits, and so forth. Use these tools to improve your own experience, and everyone else’s, too.
Let’s leave our community better than we found it.
Moderators have special authority; they are responsible for this forum. But so are you. With your help, moderators can be community facilitators, not just janitors or police.
When you see bad behavior, don’t reply. It encourages the bad behavior by acknowledging it, consumes your energy, and wastes everyone’s time. Just flag it. If enough flags accrue, action will be taken, either automatically or by moderator intervention.
In order to maintain our community, moderators reserve the right to remove any content and any user account for any reason at any time. Moderators do not preview new posts; the moderators and site operators take no responsibility for any content posted by the community.
Nothing sabotages a healthy conversation like rudeness:
These are not concrete terms with precise definitions — avoid even the appearance of any of these things. If you’re unsure, ask yourself how you would feel if your post was featured on the front page of the New York Times.
This is a public forum, and search engines index these discussions. Keep the language, links, and images safe for family and friends.
Make the effort to put things in the right place, so that we can spend more time discussing and less cleaning up. So:
Rather than posting “+1” or “Agreed”, use the Like button. Rather than taking an existing topic in a radically different direction, use Reply as a Linked Topic.

I believe I’ve only had the one post deleted in all my years here, but I immediately went out and bought a ‘CONVICTED FOR JOURNALISM’ t-shirt and then I kicked the shit out of a Pakistani for being a Muslin.
And that’s your fault, mods.
“Freeze Peachhhhhh”
Was this the same time you took a bird out in Llanelli?
Isn’t Muslin a fabric? How’d you kick the shit out of fabric?
She did most of the kicking, to be fair. I just filmed it and uploaded it to Facebook.

Have you ever been out in Wales past 11pm? We’ll fight anything at that point.
The number of posts of mine that are being deleted of late , not sure if I should take it as a compliment.
Mods this post seems low key boastful and makes me feel insecure. Can you please delete it but leave mine so it looks like sith is actually as bad as a sith?
It means that people are at least taking trouble to read them, not just scrolling past…
Is this the page where you stamp your feet and cry if you get pulled up and threaten to not comment again.
Which is incidentally the only real problem with the forum. There are no pages, so everything gets lost in the void. The “line-date” thing/navigation tool you can drag up and down or even write in post nr. whatever, is so inferior when it comes to cataglogisation that it’s not a relevant comparison at all. Books and documents have page numbers for very good reasons, after all.
That is the only thing I miss from TIA, pages so I can read old posts. Scrolling through hundreds or thousands of posts is less user friendly than trying to find an unnamed manuscript written in 1789 in the Biblioteque National in only one to two days.
Rant over, carry on everyone (because I have been previously told that this forum does not support pages, so it real catalogisation will never be on this particular forum site). But really, I know many think exactly the same as I do and that.we are many who would like to read historical posts without getting bogged down in that terrible navigaton tool this site has.
Other than that, I still have no complaints.
OMG..!!
Kash Patel wearing his LFC tie at his hearing today - note the Liverbird and everything…!!
This means he could actually be a member of our forum… Eeek!
“Patel, sporting a red tie with the Liverpool FC logo, repeatedly clashed with Democrats for more than three hours, shrugging off their suggestions that he mishandled the case and has politicised the FBI.”
Ah Jack.
There are ways of making yourself unpopular…but you’re trying way too hard.
I look forward to this thread daily and gets excited when I see there are new posts
It’s been 3 days …
How about you get off your arse and draw us something?
