Nap: The new member was bashed for telling the staff they would abuse the feature, not for just noting it's a possibility. They have since apologised and I believe all is well there.

Jorm: I agree that the name is a bad choice. It is too dramatic and scary.

A condition has been identified and the staff has determined what they believe to be the best solution to that condition. To all those who are bitching about it like somebody killed your new puppy, why don't you make some viable suggestions as an alternative to the new power? For fuck sake, our staff is more than reasonable and if one of you hits on an idea that better than the current one, and that works within the framework of the forum software, I'm dead certain they'll give it due consideration.

Funny, you won't read through the thread but have no problem berating people for supposedly not doing something. How do you know such suggestions haven't been made?

Oh.

You don't.

pommy bastard

Australian slang.
Derogatory term.
Very effective at upsetting Englishmen during a cricket tour of Australia.
Frequently appears in major Australian newspapers during these tours.

Sorry guys, my bad if I offended anyone, didn't think it was offensive...
