Welcome to the Grumpy Old Farts village pub. We are a pretty widely experienced, well traveled, intelligent, fair minded, liberal, humorous and vocal bunch. Moderation is pretty light touch. Robust discussion, and on occasions language, can be expected in the discussion areas. Courtesy and helpfulness can be expected elsewhere.
The fact that we are liberal and fair minded means that bigotry, bullying and racism will not be tolerated. We have no intention to produce a definitive list, but if its not decent and reasonable behaviour and treatment of others, then it is not wanted. Posts deemed as such will be removed by staff with no discussion or appeal.
Think of it as a pub. Some days it will be quiet, refined, laid back. When there is a happy hour the regulars will get vocal and boisterous. Get out of line and you will be put back by the regulars. If you get too drunk and upset lots of the regulars you will get chucked out and barred for 24 hours. Or longer if you persist. With respect to bad language, anything uttered that we don't like, will be added to the swear filter.
In very specific categories we would appreciate if you kept it reasonably on topic, but none of the staff is going to be too picky about gentle thread drift. In the Public Bar, thread drift will probably be endemic (and therefore interesting and amusing). If you raise a thread there and you want to keep it on topic, its your job to nudge back on track.
Enjoy the place, lets see how it goes.
