Hello,
as the current 'listowner' I'd just to point out that
"The list is open and unmoderated, so the listowners are
facilitators rather than gatekeepers."

If some people want to take on the role of moderating this list then thats
quite a task to undertake.

The obvious thing would be for the forum moderators simply to issue an official warning (if not an outright ban) to the member(s) in question. And sooner rather than later, please.

You most certainly are not alone, Owain. I am on the verge of leaving the forum, totally fed up with all the blather, but would rather that the few who treat it as a blog for posting their amusements could show more consideration and careful judgement in calling for the attention of others. Is there no friend or neighbor closer to home that can be amused with all these curios that perk the imagination?

Ämne: Crit geog forum being ruined by a few selfish people
Well said Tristan
I am sure I won't be alone in thinking that this really useful / important forum is being ruined by a few selfish people who are persistently posting rubbish on it.
What freaks me out is THE AMOUNT OF TIME these people must spend looking at rubbish on the web and then bothering to forward it!!! They must work in a different setting to most UK (and other I expect) academics, and have very chilled line-managers. Or maybe it going to be their REF impact case study.
It is an obvious abuse of this forum to persistently fine very vaguely interesting (at best ? mostly not) articles and images on-line and then send then on.
Hillary I just noticed the line about twitter in your email signature. Mate, you really need to take a long hard look at yourself.

Subject: Re: Yep, this really is what Europeans call satnavs when used by idiots
This isn't funny. I also doubt very much "twattnavs" is what Europeans call Satellite Navigation Systems. Perhaps only those misogynistic Europeans or those of a hyper-masculine and insensitive sense of humour. Perhaps this answers your question as to where all the women have gone on this forum. Perhaps they don't feel comfortable participating in such "critical geography" as this. I certainly don't.
Definition of "twat":
1. the female genitals
2. a girl or woman considered sexually
3. a foolish or despicable person
4. usually vulgar for vulva
Best,
Tristan
