There has been talk of moderation lacking @Linlay is just making sure

Yes. In an international community what is ā€œno harmā€ in one country may be disrespectful in another. Hey, that kind of proves the point about human eyes needed for moderation.

@Linlay Thankyou for your concern, and it is good to see input but in this instance it was not needed. Cross cultural questions are expected, received and answered here often. @mrscolumbo asked an honest question and received a few honest answers. No big.

Interestingly, my female law enforcement colleagues consider ā€˜policemanā€™ to be offensive and ā€˜copā€™ to be friendly - Definitely varies by region. In a Australia, cop or police officer are the go to terms. So interesting how things vary :blush: I once said ā€˜Iā€™ll need to put my thongs onā€™ in the US (Iā€™m from Aus, where thongs = sandals) and I got some very funny looks :sweat_smile:

Yes, and Fanny in the UK and US mean two very different things.
Though growing up, reading The Magical Faraway Tree 2 of the main characters were Fanny and Dick. 50 years later they had to rename them to republish so time, it seems, is just another region.

Indeed, so, given the title may I suggest a ā€˜crazyā€™ thing?

I think we are all grown up (the crazy part) here to not assume offence or disrespect unless those are felt personally.

Do you remember a website named ā€œComputerCopsā€ - later changed to ā€œCastleCopsā€? They did tech support and worked with the FBI to deal with phishing sites. Itā€™s been gone for probably 10? years now. If they still existed today they would probably change the name again.
