Can I not call Roxy a "flat-chested beaner", even if it makes her laugh? Your (Urban's) "suggestions" are kind of vague. Other people might not have to worry about pushing any envelopes, but it's pretty easy to guess that some of this might be directed at me, at least partially. If so, I need specifics. Seriously.

We just want it toned down a little, that's all. By all means call Roxy a flat chested beaner or whatever, but just do it once. don't repeat it in every thread or turn the time you do call her that turn into a 20 page drama about some unrelated topic and then come back again the next day and do the same thing again.
If you want to have conversations where you just want to rip each other new ones do it in the shoutbox, that's what it was put there for.
We're fine with a bit of it in the Lounge but it's getting to the point where it needs to be scaled back a bit.

As for faggot: well that depends on everybody else. I'd rather you didn't use it but that's a personal opinion not a moderating one simply because if anyone does use it I know I'll have to step in at some point. And also I don't think it looks good to new people joining if it's used freely.

If people genuinely find it offensive and complain about it's use then we will take action, but as for now what I think isn't really relevant, I would ask you ask yourself why you'd want to use it knowing people find it inflammatory and it could cause trouble.
