Does anyone really care that Twitter's stupid guidelines are being broken? It's already getting annoying each time it's mentioned. Certain members that always get frustrated about brand guidelines being broken are also getting agitated about this.

I do hope I'm not in the minority thinking it isn't a broadcaster's duty to uphold the brand guidelines of another company, especially not the BBC.

How many times has it been mentioned? I only count two, and (my) second one was only a sardonic aside. Sadly the usual suspects have bitten.

I almost wish I could go down the David route and become a professional WUM if only for the fact I know Asa would ban me instantly. I'm on his list.

Yes, it's only been mentioned twice - and it's already annoying. Not because it was mentioned, but because of the replies. I could tell you weren't being serious.

Was that aimed at me? my response was also sarcastic as I already saw your initial opinion about the Twitter guidelines in the c5 topic.

I'm a supporter of the BBC guidelines yes but not necessarily the Twitter guidelines

I didn't spot the sarcasm at all.

Hmm.I think I'll keep my humour to other sites then.

They've never been renowned for getting humour over there, Philip.

Shouldn't worry about it.

To be fair I read over my comment and I see how it would come across as a serious post, my bad.

In future I'll just stay out of it.

I think Stewart Lee has the market cornered on non-obvious sarcasm - funnily enough, I can spot his.

Here is an example of a funny post for you to look at:

Williams posted - on the TBS thread - a comment he'd previously received from Tom Edwards:

<SNIP>
end of."

If Tom Edwards really did use the phrase "End of" then I would also like to offer my two fingers to him. That's four fingers so far.

No need to poke fun of me, I get it, I'm not funny.

It's very nice to see a lot more split threads at the moment, really helping to show that not everything has to be in generic threads. Long may that continue

Nice to see the non-BBC Olympics hat split, despite the pathetic objections of whoiam989:

Gosh... I already made a thread dedicated to such purpose. Please go over there:

Seriously, what the frigg are you going on about?!

It's something we've all been asking for years.

623058 seems slightly more erratic than usual recently.

He seems to be getting very worked up about minor inaccuracies on TV presentation related matters.

I don't think that's something that you really need to complain about a member of TV Forum.

I personally admire his enthusiasm for accuracy of TV pres dates. I had no idea BBC World didn't drop the flags until April 2000, or that the 1996 Carlton idents started in 1995.
