Ah, no: I should have explained that a bit better. I've never really considered posting anything that could break forum rules (at least not intentionally), so there's never been any reason for worrying that the Mods would come down on me. However, I did/do often worry about accidental offense or misunderstanding towards other FMs, and will often ditch posts that I'm not entirely happy with. It's not a case of "Will the Mods be happy with this?", but rather "Will I be happy with this being read and replied-to?".
This forum (and others) takes up a fair part of my leisure time, so I don't want to spoil that with unintended bad feeling. I had  the odd instance of misunderstanding early-on on the old BB forum, and it was a case of once bitten...

Thanks for clarifying. I can't imagine you ever offending anyone and I wish you were less of a lurker and more active you're a great poster, very level-headed and down to Earth. I don't know why people say down to Earth it's not like any of us live on the bloody moon but hey ho

Well I was a student then, so it was probably at random weird hours and not every single day. But I did go in there. When it was a new SIT for every day I often used to start em!

Apparently not

I forgot to answer the OP.

No, the moderation, on here, does not affect my posting.

I would never share naked pictures of George Clooney, anyway.
They are for personal use.

I was banned quite a few times on Channel 4, mostly for smut, or perceived smut.

I argued a lot more on Channel 4, but I think I've calmed down my posting style a fair bit, since then. (Others may disagree)

I also think I've learnt to ignore Trolls quite well. It does work.

You were perceived as having a smutty SOH?!  

Well! I'd sue!   

But tbh Blousey, when I read you on C4 as a lurker I never really got your, erm, idiosyncrasies. Now I've locked horns  with you I do.  

Does this post pass the Blousey School of Smut Entry Level grade?

Oh! And in reply to your OP Prom, I always post my comments whilst taking in the tone of the thread and the type of FMs there. Bit like you would do in any social situation I reckon. I'm not the confrontal sort in RL and therefore wouldn't be here. But I do like to have my say on a lot of things.  

And fwi Prom, that's exactly why I responded to 'that' thread in the way I did. I thought you were having a fun rant, not an angry one.  

And final parish notes. For South Korea, close to Japan. Wow! Lubs ya too. And you Crunchy. You all post threads that put a bit of spark in this forum and long may you do so!

Moderation is certainly more liberal here than on C4, which was utterly pathetic, biased and so heavy handed.  I never understood a BB forum where you couldn't quote the housemates comments on the actual show for fear of banning.  Especially as we were all supposed to be adults.  And then there were current affairs threads that were habitually deleted about fifteen pages in, after a lot of forumers had taken time to construct well researched and articulate replies.

Anyway, enough moaning about C4, I like this forum and I like the sensible application of moderation.

I try to be nice on here as I like the people on this forum and its a friendly easy going forum.  On other forums I'm a bit trolly and I have called other posters that certain word at certain times. 

I like that you can drop the odd expletive on this forum without the fear of the heavy hand of moderation.
