For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I agree. As a newbie I have spent a lot of time in reading back through pages of posts on topics and have been surprised at some comments that I have read. I like this forum and the interaction but feel reluctant to post some questions because I think I will be laughed at rather then receive help and advice, so maybe a pink "pinned" topic is a good thing? I wish the Ed would post what he/she is up to because I am getting more confused by the minute.....pink posts, people banned then still coming back and saying that they have been banned.....names that are referred to as another name by members of people who have been banned but still posting....for a newbie I think this forum is running amok. Its a nice forum but a very confusing one!
Well done Ed - and I hope that you succeed in taking this site back from the small minority of abusers.
I am sure that you have the support of the vast majority (albeit too often silent).
I also hope that you will find the right balance between banter and irrelevant clique chats that fill up Topics like Body and Soul.

excellent, the smack of firm government. Still, I hope serious, non-sniggering posts can sometimes have an exception made for them. People occasionally ask worried Qs in B&S about their sex lives, for instance, which I think should be allowed to stay. Same for swearing - I once had a post banned for quoting a commentator's racist opinion of a footballer; the words really needed to be used (I put asterisks in them) to show he really was a racist, as not everyone was convinced; but the post was removed anyway. I appreciate why, but I think removing it made the discussion rather pointless.
