I've removed several posts, where the contributors doubtless feel they're being incredibly amusing by pushing the banned words paradigm. But there is a serious side to this: some of you might not object to everyone in the world with an internet connection knowing where you live, where you work, how much is in your bank accounts and so on. But those jolly asides and knowing cyber-winks between those who know some things mask the fact that this information is not generally known, nor should it be. Already this week, a member's full address was published, and that sort of thing has to stop.
If you wish to publish your own details, so be it, but it must be understood that to publish, or even hint at, private information on the forum won't be allowed. It's also worth remembering that the only reason we use the banned word system is because some people seem incapable of respecting the privacy of others. The only other alternative is to ban the member, which I'm personally very loathe to do, but which we will if members refuse to respect the privacy of other members.
