Still doesn't mean it should be deleted.  And I say that as someone who took a pasting in that thread.

It's very ordinary that such a polarising contributor can have such a disproportionate influence on the forums.

Is this perhaps the first step before Decentric is reappointed a mod?

I notice his name never was deleted from the mod team list.  (Only his wasn't bolded.)

Time to prepare for the end of days lads.

bet he still has the joyful penguin mod account going

It is concerning.  And more than coincidental.

Just waiting now for posts to be modified, deleted and posters getting warnings for 'facetious' threads.

We all know what happened last time with the attempted purge of posters and the remoulding of the forum in what a certain 'esteemed' poster thought was 'best practice'.

I'm surprised there's no archiving of the forum where deleted threads can be resurrected.  (I don't profess to be a forum expert so maybe there isn't.)

This was massively interesting to me, I didn't know that list existed. I am truly oblivious what the unbolded one means. 

Head to your feedback sub-forum thread for my update on the multi speculation thread mystery.

I am fairly sure only yourself and mods can change the wording of your posts. I don't know enough about the context of the post you're referring to in order to give more information sorry.

WGMG: Coon deciding to change their branding name because of a tiny (yet noisy) minority who think naming a cheese after the person who founded the company is simply problematic and unacceptable in The Current Year. Living in an age where the demand for actual racism outstrips the supply, of course there are going to be people who will milk shit like this (no matter how trivial) for all its' worth. But the biggest mistake is deferring to their wishes. No matter what you do, nothing will ever be enough to satisfy people who base their entire identity around being the victim.

When you click the like button on your post to see who liked it as it's the only way to check that and the forum software gives you a lecture as if you were trying to give it a like yourself: "Sorry, this is your own post! It's up to others to decide if they like or find your posts helpful."

Actually just the like, share and report buttons in general on this forum, they're so hidden I bet most users don't even notice them.

On a computer put your mouse over a post and you should see the buttons appear at the bottom of the post. On a phone give a post a tap and the same thing happens. Your browser or device may be different, of course.

and another forum I frequent at least you can see without checking the link button who has done so.
Whereas this archive one when you like to see who has liked the post it registers you have done as well.
No I just wanted to see who did.
So backward.

WGMG: the changes to regional victorias lockdown has sent us backwards. 

Last week we had a bubble with a household of 3 friends they are all around 30. It was good wed have beers etc it was great. 
This week the rules changed so that you can visit any household but only once a day. BUT the visitors can only be 2 adults plus their dependents (under 18) so people that would visit us last week,  can't visit us this week. 
WTF?!

WGMG: Shitty bosses that can't run their business properly, my boss has had a contract with a major customer and for nearly 4 years it has been expired.  Yesterday they cut ties with us because my boss couldnt be bothered to cut a new deal with them even though they were happy to pay more. 
This customer was my one sole reason for being employed,  so now I'm out of a job. 
(I only worked 15 hours a week, as i am a stay at home dad mostly)

So disappointed considering i was told no less then 2 weeks ago that i was going to return to pre covid hours and she knew the customer was already going to leave from the sounds. So annoyed.

Worst thing is having to try to deal with centerlink. I now have to pull my daughter out of day care (she goes 1day a week)because i don't fulfill centerlinks fortnightly tasks because i have to wait 4 weeks for my claim to be looked at, so daycare goes from $25 a day to $120. Can't afford to take the punt on my claim being approved because it might not be and instead of paying $100 for a month of daycare (4 days) it would be $480.
She only goes because we have no one with kids her age.
Such bullshit that the child care subsidy can cater for 2 people working and earning up $280,000 but if a couple earns a 1/4 of that and suddenly one loses their job not only do they have to look for work,  they have to take their kid with them too.

  Oh and once i take her out of day care its back to the end of a line it look us nearly 2 years to get to the front of.

I'm hoping to,  just anything to get by,  it's not dire in the sense that we're running out of money but the daycare thing is a killer. To be fair i had a decent conversation with centerlink today and we should be able to still get the child care subsidy, we got alot of misinformation from the daycare, which isn't unusual.

My eldest corrects her daycare "educators" on their spelling of certain things :lol: so definitely seek proper advice when it comes to all of that.
