Yes, I know that a ban has been imposed on the forum re pets for sale. I dont agree with it, but can understand admin doing this at the very least for an easy life - IIRC, it was on the basis of a well fail poll and a Christian Voice style assault by a blinkered minority of slightly unhinged social inadequates. IMHO blates innit.


Now its in place, I am assuming ED is now a sanctuary for pets and the scourge of people selling live things has been banished forever - what else should be banned from the forum ?


mostly Genuine question BTW, disparaging broad brushstrokes aside

Serious "ideal world" answer: nothing that is legal should be banned, obvs.


Semi-serious answer: I would ban businesses being able to ban discussion of themselves. BUT also, anyone persistently behaving like an outright cock towards a business (The now deleted Begging Bowl thread was a prime eg) would likewise be banned and the business in question sent a picture of that poster's severed head in a box, as recompense.

Point of order, would pimping not be the hiring out of prostitutes? The hirers are not the pimps, I think.

Strictly speaking animal sales aren't banned "Animals can only be sold if there's a link to them listed another reputable website."


Hopefully it's a compromise between the fundamental animalist types who want no one to sell animals full-stop and those careful ones who want to sell animals that they've cared for. By making sure they have the animals listed on reputable site means they've gone to the trouble of doing it properly and not just got their Staffie up the duff to make a few quid to buy more Berkeleys and Special Brew.

    • When I did a Diploma in Community Studies at Birkbeck College many many moons ago, community was defined a group with common/similar beliefs , people living within a defined geographical area,.
    • At it's peak I recall 16 Furkin pubs, all brewing their own.    The first pub was the Goose, followed by the Ferret, the wonderful Pheonix, Fox and one other, not necessarily in that order, when I discovered them. I did all 16 on public transport in one day with a group many years ago, if Guinness had a record this would be one, as everyone else would hire a minibus. Reverting to Wiki, it maxed out with 19 home brew pubs, and many more not brewing before the end: chain was established in 1979 by David Bruce as Bruce's Brewery, the Firkin Brewery grew as a chain of mostly brewpubs offering cask ale. It was acquired by Midsummer Leisure in 1988, Stakis Leisure in 1990 and then by Allied Domecq in 1991; by 1995 the chain had 44 pubs, 19 of which brewed beer on site.[1] In 1999, Punch Taverns bought the entire chain and the rights to the Firkin brand,[2] and then sold 110 of the pubs to Bass, leaving 60 Firkin pubs under Punch ownership.[3] The brewery side of the chain was wound up, and in March 2001 Punch announced that the Firkin brand was to be discontinued.[4] 
    • Hello! I’m looking to collect some pallets and MDF boards from anyone in the area who has some and no longer needs them?   It would also be a huge bonus if anyone has a PA sound system I could rent/borrow/buy off them.   Thank you in advance!
    • That was the best "pound shop", a great selection of products, sadly it and the chain went to the wall as they say.
