    Happy Birthday

    I was actually wondering about this one, cos I've seen a few posts saying 'It's my birthday today' and loads of answers saying 'Happy birthday!' and it is actually classed as chatting. I didn't think they actually got removed though, cos, well, it's their birthday innit!? Oh well, thanks for the heads up, it's my birthday on Sat, but I won't bother mentioning it here now!

    I guess Answers has to keep their standards up, and if they let the birthday ones slide then I guess it'd be classed as hipocrisy or double standards.

    I'm just glad some one inforces it. It's not always nice to see private conversations on open forums.
