A welsh mod? Now I've seen everything

What's a Welsh mod, does it make the forum more phlegmatic.

Warning, play on words above.

To those who don't understand I'm using the word phlegmatic, because the Welsh language requires a lot of phlegm (having a good natured pop at my Welsh friends there). However the word phlegmatic actually means lacking in emotion. So I'm having a pop (good natured again) at the way the Welsh speak, whilst at the same time suggesting the admin have changed the board to make it lacking in emotional content.

At the same time I am totally and deliberately misunderstanding the obvious meaning of the original poster, which was to express mock shock at a Welshman being mad a moderator.

How's that work for you, NewMod.

Sorry, you lost me at phlegm.

Seriously, I know you understand what I'm talking about.
I find your contributions very amusing - I laugh out loud on many occasions (including this thread) - but I don't believe you don't understand the 'humour gap' between Brits and the ROW.
It's just that sometimes you (and others) do carry on rodding when a footnote to the misunderstanding would ease their pain.
That wouldn't be fun for you though, would it?

I wouldn't want you to change your post content because then you wouldn't 'be you' and that wouldn't be good in many members' eyes, just go a little easier on those that don't understand.

Skweeky... might be of assistance

Nah, she has a boyfriend now..

The Top and Bottom of it is this:

Take the piss all you like.... but there is a line.

That line is when someone takes personal offense at what you've said.

More often than not, its a misunderstanding of the humour involved or someone is having a Bad Hair Day... so what? Just say "Sorry" and leave them be....

...tomorrow they may be taking the piss with the rest of you or they may just avoid this area for a while.


No one wants to Moderate this area, however we have a duty to all members on the board (oo err) to avoid harrassment and personal insults.

You aint stupid... cool it a little with those that dont want to be part of the piss taking.

The problem on FST is some members drink the wrong beer!

Rodding = deliberately posting something for someone to react to. It is not simply taking the pish out of another forum member. The rod has been much maligned by peons who don't understand the subtlety of it's use..

An example of a rod.

Me - Ah, the dolphin, the most honourable of fish.

A Geptard - A dolphin isn't a fish, it's a mammal.

Bait was deliberately used, someone takes the bait. Anything which does not contain these elements is not a rod. Fact.

Nice use of "members'" btw. Advanced apostrophe placement :ftw:.

I take personal offence at your last post, ergo you have crossed "the line".

Pish.
