What the drymount?
EB automatically changed the f-word in one of my posts to drymount......?
Personally I find putting sticky stuff on the back of art way more offensive than putting sticky stuff on the back of the one you love.
Just my 2 cents

To rectify this, go to: User Control Panel > Board Preferences > Edit Display Options.

There you will find a toggle for 'word censoring'. Set it to 'off' and you're all good.

Happy drymountin' New Year! :cheers:

Well, believe it or not, the site isn't just tailored to you and some do find swearing offensive or just unnecessary. As Otomo says, you can turn the swear filter off in your UCP. Or try giving up swearing for new years. :D

Nah, not even close, imo. 1nkling is mellow as drymount, dude ain't power-tripping. It's just dry British humour that doesn't always translate well to text. Being sarcastic kittens is kind of our 'thing' ,but it's pretty much always done in good-spirited jest (like when I was breaking balls the other day. ;) )

Personally, I quite dig the fact that he still posts and jokes about despite being a made guy. Too often, mods (and i'm not attacking any here, per sé, more the way it goes on most sites) lose their sense of humour or feel precluded from making comments due to being required to be utterly impartial, and that can make them seem aloof and unapproachable - which he certainly ain't.

It's very nice to see one who has no pretence and speaks to us in an even way, it helps shed some of the 'them vs us' mentality that is always prevalent when one group of members holds more power than another (a damaging mentality often held by both normal members and team alike).

Again, not a specific attack on members or the team, just an observation on how the dynamics of forums tend to work.
