Wink Whatever happened to Scoobynet banter???

Come on folks. Lighten up

We used to have a great laugh in here, but now it is so PC it's a joke.

Why can't folks just see the funny side instead of looking for something more sinister.

I am a wimmins (shut up before you all start ) and the amount of sexist crap that is posted is beyond belief. Do I get offended, NO. I laugh at most of it.

Can everyone else not do the same. Let's get the fun back. Don't take it all so seriously and just enjoy.

I am sick of having to think about what I post, just incase it upsets Joe Bloggs, (whoever he is)

Anyone agree

Very well said. Only been on here a year or so but even in that time I've seen it go downhill. Stop being a bunch of fannies.

Joe Bloggs was actually an asian bloke - well, he used the brand name...... So you may have upset him, though I doubt it

Where's my tea?

I totally agree with 84of300.

Though god knows I have tried to find a joke about a one legged, asian/black/brown/welsh/scottish/irish single mother who likes reading/outdoor pursuits, is a star wars fan/political/ugly/ex-model/short/fat/tall/skinny and has bad body hygiene ......but I couldn't

Cheeky beggars

It's a bit off though when someone posts a funny pic or joke and it turns into people reading more into it and taking offense.

Infractions have gone now, thank God. Admin seems to have a sense of humour. So, bring it on

It's an Infraction hangover 34 ...... some people gave up posting challenging posts as it was simply too much for the sensitive, girlie, Infraction Brigade - it will settle down soon

The infraction system is gone, no matter what tyou say it will offend someone - it is uup to the webmaster and mod team to ensure things are fair and right.

As i have said before 'they' need to decide who sn is for and set the rules accordingly and not leave them open to interprretation - black and white, no grey areas and enforced fairly and properly

They must not just cater for the lowest/youngest denominator but for th mass that is SN, pays the wages through sponsorship and subscriptions.

SN is not for everyone of all ages - if they try to get is to be so it will fail miserably.

I think its gone down the nick as well.

its seems most of the posts are written by bitchy girls, not men.
people get more pleasure out of pulling you up about grammar, rather than having a good debate or a laugh,

and you darent write something that could be taken another way.

there have been a few instances for me.


j4cko maoning about the people speeding down his cul de sac, a lot of posters said his kids shouldnt be playing on the road,

and mine about teachers, i was made out to be a ****** who wanted to thump his teacher, so i dont think i will be saying too much on here in the future.

also the congestion charge,
a lot said i shouldnt vote for it, even though it would benefit me,
why would i vote against something that would benefit me, there is no simple reasoning to it. but i got insulted over it.

so im going to give it awide berth till the new year at least i think.
