Yes, dj, I got a laugh out of Neopolitan´s " ****heart " joke too, but I was actually refering to this idea of editing that tore and VEGANGELICA have mentioned:-

Please refrain from name-calling and the like in the future" along with a reference or link to the rules. On that forum, when you see that colour in a post, you know it's probably put there by a mod."
Sorry if I haven´t explained the Weekly Thread idea very well, Trollheart.
This link here, http://www.musicbanter.com/announcem...-calendar.html
made by tore, is just the index or calendar of events. The idea is that you can look for the up-coming weekly theme or (in some cases) follow the attached link to a thread that occured in a previous week. To my knowledge, it was Pedestrian who always opened up a thread each week, which could be found in the appropriate forum. First time I "met" Janszoon was when Pedestrian opened up an "It´s Latin Week!" thread in the world forum.

^ That´s a kind offer, Janszoon; probably best to see if any real enthusiasm is evident here before spending too much time on it. I´d offer to help myself, but I´m already feeling guilty about the amount of time I spend on this infernal, contrary and addictive website !
