Just a note to folks on here who may know me on RTG as "hls". I've quit that forum. The bans are ridiculous.eg Got month's banned for " Switched to Bein Sports as the wifey on TNT is dreadful " Enough Account deleted.
Currently banned for calling a gammon wum knacker a gammon wum knacker. Said it before and will say it again, the moderators on RTG are not fit for purpose.
So not moderating then. Doesn't help that at least 2 of them are gammons themselves, and at least one of them is a definite racist.
I sometimes have a wander over there some posters at times get gen bits of info, But yes it is at times a hellhole.
Gammon" is a British slang term for a middle-aged white man with a rosy or red complexion, often used to describe someone perceived as right-wing, politically outraged, or a Brexiteer. The term is a political insult that gained prominence on social media and has roots in older meanings of "gammon" referring to nonsensical talk or the appearance of pink, cooked pork.
Was the excuse they banned you for just that post or an accumulation of posts which is usually my case for my bans
I used to post the food collection threads with the thread title "get your tins out for the lads". When I posted a generic title like "food collection v Arsenal" it got hardly any views or replies. As you can't bump your own thread, it quickly vanished from the front page. "Get your tins out" posted by a female poster is eye catching and the thread gets a ton more views. It gets naturally bumped with daft comments but it keeps the collection in the forefront of people's minds, which I hope results in more people donating food. A prominent poster took over doing my food collection threads. I've found out it's because the said poster finds the "get your tins out" tag line inappropriate and offensive. The same poster has also posted several threads proclaiming her love of dogging and swinging. I'm still at a loss why they're so offended by a play on words using an old sexist chant, but it's ok to post about their kinky sex life.
