This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

So the group re-added words such as SPAZ, GOY, REDNECK, GREYBEARD, and TWAT.

Great, he's back...

Why would you ever remove twat? Twat is a great word, which I can only hear in Con O'Neill's voice from Our Flag Means Death.

Allegedly, it offends people.

The only people it offends are twats

Well, there seems to be a lot of them...

I think that's the point though?
