No it was a straight forward question. Why would it be removed as personal abuse?

i guess some people are too sensitive...they can't handle being called anything at all...they were probably called "dumb-dumb head" in primary school and now anything that is said to them constitutes abuse

Yes, in my short time posting on this enjoyable board, I have been called racist, bigot, redneck, moron, nazi, pig, f.... this and f..... that. I have had myself and my family slandered. I have been inferred as a child abuser, ped. I have been called a criminal and that my children will end up in goal. I have been called a homophobe and a homosexual (not that theres anything wrong with that). I have had my religious beliefs and opinions hammered from pillar to post without any regard for my feelings. I have been told to get a life, to get over it and even to get f.....
I am confused as to what constitutes personal abuse.

All depends Skip. If a moderator gets a reported post then they act upon it, it all depends how thick skinned the recipient of the percieved abuse is.

Hope that helps and please dont take this as cart blanche to flood the moderators with reported posts.

I wouldnt do that, its all part of the banter.

Maybe you should introduce a section in the user CP. How thick is your skin?

Thanks for the response.

using "are you a slice short of a loaf?" is a weak example to pick

There's a few people on this site that are a sandwich short of a picnic.
Then there's the one's who've got a kangaroo loose in the top paddock.

Not to mention the fair few that are a stubby short of a siz pack, and the occasional member who's elevator doesn't quite reach the top floor.

Or the one where the gates are down, the lights are flashing but the train ain't coming.

There's some whose lights on,but no one's home.

It all depends on whether or not the Bread is 'Helgas'

Drinking, smoking, doing drugs, etc...all the fun things in life constitute personal abuse.

That's outrageous everyone knows that the kids who play in goal are made to because nobody else likes them.
