Is this a serious request re the Begging Bowl thread?

Can posters recommend companies that are not in ED or immediate areas?


Are business allowed to keep 'mentioning' themselves as purveyors of services other posters are asking about. I thought this would fall under the one time mentioning your business, and thereafter you need to have people recommend you.

Gidget, seriously, just relax. Whilst I'm sure your continual reporting of messages in the business section is well intentioned, it is driving us all potty. You've already been asked once to only report serious breaches of forum rules and yet you persist in reporting every petty offence you come across. Please, stop it.

Hi Gidget,


The forum was running exceptionally well last week and looking into what you said further and chatting to some of the Admins/Moderators it seems you have reported 322 messages previously and been warned not to report so often. Your constant reporting dilutes the seriousness of any messages that you report so please appreciate that when you are actually reporting a "serious" incident it take a bit longer for the team to address it due to the engrained lethargy from seeing an email entitled "Gidget has reported a message" for the 323rd time.

Hi, sorry for the delay. For some reason the ignore facility creates loads of error messages which fill up the forum database and make it crash. If we ever get time we will look into and bring back the ignore feature but I think it maybe related to the ignore module not running on PHP5.3, which means it's not a quick fix.

ianr, that's a bit like the thread about the 176 running ten minutes late :)

The time went wrong on the old server when the clocks went back/forward but then I managed to find out how to set the server clock to update from and external timeserver (like Greenwich's). I haven't set this server's clock to stay up to date from elsewhere yet so I assume it's gradually slipping, let me see what I can do.

Yes, reduce your picture size.


When you upload a 10MB file for a picture of your cat, that's the same thing as taking Admin's breakfast from under his nose, smashing it over his head and putting the pieces in his pocket.


Whilst satisfying, it doesn't induce cooperation.


Here's one, go for 600 width maximum http://www.imageoptimizer.net/Pages/Home.aspx

    • There’s definitely something in what you say about upbringing, environment, and emotional health. It doesn’t excuse the behaviour, but it might help explain it. I do think low intelligence likely played a role here. People who aren’t taught to value life, whether human or natural, often end up reacting with hostility to the things they don’t understand or appreciate. It’s a sad reflection of both neglect and ignorance. Your suggestion of rehabilitation through something like woodland conservation or sapling planting is actually a lovely and meaningful idea. Let’s hope something good can come of their sentence, though I won’t be holding my breath. Looking forward to meeting you in person at the Forum drinks tonight, and fingers crossed Jasonlondon makes it too. His terrible neighbours really are quite the story.
    • Direct link to livestream of closing ceremony and joint statement:  Today, the conference comes to a close with a joint statement — a historic declaration of collective action in defence of international law and human dignity. At 10:30 Bogotá, 11:30 New York, 16:30 London, 17:30 Paris, 21:00 New Delhi, join the closing ceremony live from the Colombian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The ceremony will feature Gustavo Petro, President of Colombia; Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories; Zane Dangor, Director General of South Africa’s Department of International Relations and Cooperation; Varsha Gandikota-Nellutla, Executive Secretary of The Hague Group; and Fillemon Wise Immanuel, Minister of Justice and Labour Relations of Namibia. The centrepiece of the ceremony will be the reading of the Joint Statement — the result of deliberation among participating governments. This statement will echo far beyond Bogotá. It marks a turning point in the global campaign to hold Israel accountable, protect the Palestinian people, and restore the rule of international law. Join us to witness this historic moment. In solidarity, The Progressive International Secretariat
