1. Boab made it abundantly clear that the content of posts in the BST were being derailed by (a very small number of) sideline snipers. The remedy (since not all can exercise self-control) is that no such posts will be allowed. This is not negotiable at this point in time. It is pointless to...

Please send them - can't promise that I'll look tonight (without getting too much into it - I have an estate in probate to deal with)

This one? As we have always said, if a poster has concerns about the moderation team - report the post, @Boab & I can still see that a report was made (and closed and by whom) if you didn't get a satisfactory reply. So the answer to who controls the moderators? The Administrators. Who controls...

I'm yet to see anything that the "power crazed" moderators have done that is out of character. What I do see though are a lot of people who seem to have decided to interpret the (very few) rules as not applying to them and constantly posting the same (or similar) content as that removed. As...

If you're going abroad - consider using a local PAYG SIM - see http://prepaid-data-sim-card.wikia.com/wiki/Prepaid_SIM_with_data for details on where & what to get... obviously only works if your device isn't network-locked... @big chin wonder - many external antennas aren't worth plugging in...

When I looked in this morning it seems we had a possible issue with Tapatalk Notifications (only notifications) - I've reset that mechanism and it looks to be fixed now.

Actually, you pay VAT on red diesel - what you don't pay is the hydrocarbon duty (about 60p per litre) Fun fact: agricultural diesel in Ireland is green... I got dipped by HMRC a couple of weeks ago, in the queue for the Tyne Tunnel. Nothing to fear though no agricultural diesel in my tank...

Yep, HMRC enforcement officers have right of entry... and probably more powers than the rozzers when it comes to investigation. My TV Licencing story: about 15 years ago, I moved house... did the proper thing and filled in a change of address on the TV Licencing website, got the confirmation...

They have no right of entry. If you don't want them in - then you don't let them in.

You must mean "Those oh-so-nice Romany folk" (or possibly the predecessor thereof)

I replied initially to remind you all to keep a lid on it and not turn it into ad hominem snide digs at each other. I haven't personally made any changes to this thread nor would I feel that I have to explain myself in doing so, other than if @Boab questioned my motivation. Back to Stifling...

If I had, there would be an entirely empty thread...

An actual virus warning or one of those scareware ads? Either way - I'm 99.9% sure we're not serving up pop-up ads (either by design or by accident). So I'd be looking at the device itself for malware...

... a thread like this? An outlet for bellyaching perhaps? A small reminder to anyone thinking of contributing, keep it as civil as the opening post please.

There have been instances previously where a seller has posted a "for sale" thread and snide comments have been made (either about the price, the origin, previous perceived selling practices,...) - the original poster then responds in kind... provoking a reaction to the reaction... Let us be...

Ah Dana doing all kinds of everything with Paddy McGinty's Goat :)

Pass. I have email notifications off too - I let Tapatalk do the notifications within the app. Perhaps try rebuilding the feed data? It's hidden in settings somewhere...

When did I suggest you did say that? Stop looking for hidden agendas, we don't have any agendas (hidden or not).

It's more likely to have at least some grounding in reality (peer-reviewed papers) unlike Joe Random on the internet or Deepak Chopra and his ilk... although such information is rarely 100% bombproof.

I count 16 posters in this thread, not all of them of your point of view (or mine). For simplicity I'll assume they're all of your mind that the moderators here are all (as we've been described previously) "power crazed". Today (so far) there have been 357 active registered users. So it appears...
