Looks like it could be fun... :twisted:

Back to the topic, however... this isn't a recipe thread about whipping eggs and cream, that sort of stuff... :chef:

A preposition is not something to end a sentence with.

And some propositions could be the beginning of a sentence.

Apparently, ending a sentence with a preposition is not a deadly sin.

Somewhere, I have a book called "The Transitive Vampire", which gives lurid, yet funny examples of each of the grammatical errors listed in the Elements of Style.  I'll try to dig it up.

Er, can we get back to business please children?

This thread has been hijacked enough for your play.

I did ask a question for the mods earlier if I can find it among this tomfoolery.

This one?

I also believe transparency is the way forward.

In order to keep everyone safe a new way of working is required.

One which considers the members and mods.

What are the rules, regulations or guidelines used by a mod for their own behaviour and way of working with others?

If there are none then why?

Boundaries keep us all safe and thus all need boundaries.

Page 66. Not answered.

It will be equally interesting to see how many of the new mods reveal their "true colors" once they are in power.
Quite frightening when said that way but you're uncomfortably right!
I expect at least one new moderator to try to make a public case for banning his or her least-favorite member(s).


I publicly banned you as well as the entire mod team ( for 20 mins or so ) , it's not something I knew would stand. I doubt anyone else would be that stupid. I suggest you get an email off one of the mods if you fear you may be targeted.


Then again, "Those who have done nothing wrong have nothing to fear", so he probably doesn't need to worry about being targetted does he...


I would say no , potential moderators are vetted by mods and Alex so bias , conflict and past history is taken into consideration

Lot good that does when the mods and Alex are biased. Don’t see any non left leaning mods being appointed. So unbiased mod team is not expected. We wouldn’t want a all left or all right Supreme Court.
