    Well I'm a stalwart and I've lost a star, but I'm not bovvered (boo hoo).

    I agree with his sentiments and feel it's good to debate these labels given lightly, but which can cause offence to the minority.

    :T

    So instead, we can change them all and give offence to the majority instead...

    I'm not sure exactly how the 'star' system works, newleaf' but I think it changed along with the names. :confused:
    As for the posts - I think the 'Post Police' (otherwise known as moderators) have been out and about over the last week.

    I can't imagine why I would have about 100 posts deleted? - I'm pretty sure I haven't offended anybody! But I don't suppose it matters really.
