Well as you know CF, any word in the UK said in a particular way can be a swear word - if you choose to say "sugar" in an emphatic way, I won't be editing it!

Yes because that is not an expletive unless of course said in an emphatic way. After all, we have Pooh Bear.
Anyway, stop with the silliness, I am not going to go through a whole list of naughty but not censorable words!

Crikey, no swear words or silliness. Can we still be sarcastic?... if not then I will have to move over to EM, some things in life are innate.

My silliness comment pertains to what words will or will not be censored. As to sarcasm, ok but be gentle on the non-Brits who often take it at face value unaccustomed as they are to deadpan, straight-faced British humour!

@DZ - yes you can but without the email address which I have kindly edited out for you I'm sure you know some of our readers may well fall for it judging from the Love & Marriage section! Posts: 5593 | From: Egypt | Registered: Dec 2005

There needs to be an American moderator living in the USA who isn't part of the "battlers" clique.

In the event of a thread getting completely out of control with personal information being dished up etc, then the entire thread may well be deleted.
.....
I do have a private life and will NOT be available 24/7 to deal with spats.
I have no clue what a 'battlers' clique is and it is gone midnight here in Egypt!
Maybe an American mod who is around during American daylight hours might be a good idea though.

Maybe you're the only one who reads your spam DZ!! As soon as I see anything with too much religion and blessings and dears in the subject from someone I don't know, I don't need to read the rest!

Please can people NOT deliberately incite other people and if you think you have been attacked or insulted, please use the NOTIFY button and DON'T respond.
Sometimes I yearn for the (comparatively) calm and gentlemanly behaviour of the Man U Footie and Death Metal boards even though I loathe and detest football with all my heart.
PS I think these threads about the revolution are important to preserve. They are an ongoing record of events as they unfold before people with a personal interest (whatever that may be) and without the benefit of hindsight. It would be a shame if the entire thread was deleted because of a silly squabble and which other moderators may be inclined to do. You guys will probably be quoted in someone's PhD thesis in 20 years time.

I have a recommendation. Egypt Travel Updates Sticky. Something that is not overwhelming and most of all factual, using the most reputable sources .e.g updates by State Department, UK foreign office, Australia Foreign Affairs, EU, Embassy statements, etc.
Just my 2 cents. But something like that would be cool. Many people are returning to Egypt including foreign students.
Anyway just my 2 cents worth.

OK chaps - I have a project to attend to over the next week (the bowab business is REALLY taking off now ) and am spending far too much time pontificating my humble opinions on here, SO if you need some MOD activity please press NOTIFY and I will attend to it once a day (reserving the right to have a whole day off in the next week).
Do remember I only Mod Living, Visiting and Love sections and (a) only receive notifies from and (b) can only action anything in those.

I keep deleting SaoPaolo shopping from my areas, but he keeps reposting at the moment minutes later. I will have to zap it tomorrow when he's gone to sleep. Sorry it will be there for the next few hours!

You can't delete it and neither can I! You just have to stop posting (and make sure you log out so you can't 'accidentally' post without consciously signing in).

my first account here was deleted, with the upgrade to ubb 6.7 so it can be done.
But it wasn't done by sammi, or any other mod; you know who to unleash on this one.

quote: And while it used to require a certain set of characteristics to thrive as a bully, the internet makes it simple for almost anyone to graduate from cowering weakling to kicking virtual sand in the face of friends and strangers in no time. If you've spent more than five minutes reading Internet comments, you know that being a cyberbully requires about the same level of exertion and fortitude as screaming obscenities at other drivers while you cruise down the freeway with your windows rolled up.
And the bullies have figured this out. Cyberbullying has become so prevalent that several states are considering the enactment of laws targeting its perpetrators. The federal government even has a site dedicated to the troubling trend.
More to the article, no sense to post the whole thing here, just click on the link above.

Definitely more to the article. Comedy gold.
Damn that was some retort he made.
I don't know that I would call her a bully. If I went to China and shouted what she said on the street (which she is in effect doing seeing as though youtube is global), would you call me a bully, or say I just had some kind of mental health issue or was terminally stupid?
And if you say she's a bully, then would you say that the reply posts on youtube, e.g. "your boobs look like they were made in China" were also bullying? I don't know. There is a lot of room to say stupid things online and if you're going to say stupid things you're open to being called stupid. Definitely agree with the road rage comparison though.

Yes, but as one guy posted in a follow up youtube video, they do at least have the "American manners" to make their derogatory comments in Mandarin
I think my favourite quote was "Even if you're not Asian, you really shouldn't be on your cell phone in the library". People do annoy me when they're noisy in the library, that's true, but I can't say it annoys me any more if that person is Asian
It is a scary world where someone so dim can get into uni, I think.

One of the blessings of going to any college or university in the Twin Cities is the large percentage of students in which English is a second language.
I can tone out background noise including conversation if I don't know the language.
I don't assume Alexandra Wallace is as stupid as she'd like to appear to be. Women often behave stupid in order to please other people, and to appear more attractive.
Just wait until Alexandra Wallace has a four year old child in her home, four year olds never tire informing their parents of their opinion in regards to "intelligence".
Most women I know who have children over the age of four years don't speak valley girl.

I'm sorry I am unable to do anything about the spammer WestXMan in the Music forum who appears to have posted about 400 threads in there in the past 24 hours.
It is out of my hands as my modding powers do not extend over there.
