I’ve been holding off approving new member “BasicJizz” on the basis that it’s got to be Dan - right?

Anyway thought I’d put it to the membership for a vote. 50%+ majority and I’ll approve. Abstain/Pink Anastazi counts in the voting pool.

No option for "we let him in, but he has to make the tea for the first two weeks"?

And bring cakes.

There’d better be cherries on those cakes

Oh yeah.
Great thinking.

Only thread they're allowed to post in is power club for the first six months.

Regardless of who it is the name is pretty crap/gross and not exactly putting across an atmosphere of welcome and friendliness

You can talk - Mr Battery - first name Assaultand 😉

Mrs...

Never even thought of that! Was trying to think of a name and there was a Duracell sat on the desk Infront of me, that was it!

Wasn't meant to be a joke, nor a comment on assuming I'm male (which it wasn't, not having a dig), it was simply a statement of fact.


It would not be beyond the realms of possibility for me to have missed something however.

I agree

Basic Jazz would be cool with me

I suspect Simon is probably just laughing at himself for not knowing.

a) Shark, can you not ask them to in some way identify themselves?
b) yes, it's a stupid, crass name.
c) if you determine it is Dan, please stick to whatever your decision was after the last bout.

[Will Hunt]

Dan did himself, in a moment of lucid clarity, request a 6 month/year (can't remember which) ban. UKB seems quite triggering for him and his interactions here must have a negative impact on him. I'd say no in respect of his own wishes.

And if it's not Dan then fuck them off anyway. Anyone joining with the name BasicJizz isn't coming (cumming?) with good intentions.

Sent an email a few days ago asking if it’s Dan but no reply. The email address was very obviously set up just for registration.

[andy popp]

Fair enough. I think if they won't/don't respond then you shouldn't approve.

Sorry. There are so few women on here I thought I knew all posters who are. Wrong again.

[Fiend]

I'm indifferent to the vote but I fully support the stupid and crass (but non-discriminatory) name and I guess would say let them in solely on that basis. Also pete's idea is a work of genius 

[Fiend]

Edit: OTOH, I do love battery's creative naming

Dan wasn't the only one triggered by Dan's interaction here.
You're making assumptions based on a moniker.

[mrjonathanr]

Offensive name. Opposed on that basis.

Fiend - not so long ago didn’t you try and find the most crass avatar picture you could get away with 😁😂?

Jizz or giss is the overall impression or appearance of a bird garnered from such features as shape, posture, flying style or other habitual movements, size and colouration combined with voice, habitat and location. The concept was popularised in birdwatching, but is so useful that it has since been adopted increasingly widely by field biologists in referring to the impression of the general characteristics of other animals.[1][2][3] It similarly appears in such fields of observational biology as microscopy.[4] Ecologists and botanists may speak of "habitat jizz" or the jizz of a plant.[5]

Sean Dooley described jizz as "the indefinable quality of a particular species, the 'vibe' it gives off" and notes that although it is "dismissed by many as some kind of birding alchemy, there is some physical basis to the idea of jizz."[6]

Experienced birders can often make reliable identifications in the field at a glance by using jizz. Often jizz is useful for identifying to the family or genus level, rather than the species level, as in: "It definitely had the jizz of a thrush, but I couldn't see what kind."

Isn’t that collecting stamps? 😁

Isn't BasicJizz a play on words on Basic Jez an old School Room (??) problem?? Thus very slightly clever as well as completely inoffensive (it's hardly ISuckedHitlersCock or GapingVagina etc).

Tomtom that was a slightly puerile escalation of censorship wars, I'm much more mature these days*

Yes. RHS of the board with a foot to hand and big lock.

Pretty sure Giss was a WW2 reference to identifying enemy aircraft and stood for "General Impression of Size and Shape" which, post war, transferred to birding and identification of birds via the general impression of size and shape .

Bastardised into Jizz as some unknown point.

Where does Sid’s Jizz fit in to all this. Nickname for mega grip liquid chalk made by Big Sid Siddqui.
