    Hmm given that I ask people not to bump threads, report self promotion and the like would that make me one of the "forum police"? If so can I have a badge please?

    ps I would really like a uniform but I feel that might be a step too far.

    pps Although if you insist and it has braid...

    Hi,Luckyone

    It helps a bit but I'm still not sure.I get the vibe that it is a negative comment & maybe one that we should aim not to use,in my view.
    If we have an issue with a member & we perceive that they have appointed themselves to this strange "Comping Police Service" we have the option of passing our concerns to MSE admin rather than launching online assaults.

    It is definitely use on me as a negative saying.

    I actually asked someone who used it on me to not use it as they were bullying me, they stopped but MSE Mods told me off for using the word bully even though that is what they were doing

    Work that one out!

    Well of course otherwise the braid would just look silly..
