solve a problem

Ah I see.

It may very well be that we have no useful rights and the choices are: be bullied, or find a different bully.

It is exactly that.

it may be better to improve the bank you have

That’s not possible.

You’re trying to solve the wrong problem.

No. I prefer signal rather than noise.

What makes you think they do that?

I’m a bit confused by this post. Why make any effort whatsoever to keep giving the bank your business? Why not switch banks?

You mean something like ?

You didn’t help me, you wasted my time. Pro-tip: be quiet.

Uhh… this analysis makes no sense at all. And now OP has admitted that the joke doesn’t make sense and doesn’t work. Still, just for edification:

Pavlov’s reaction: If something unexpected happens (like bumping into someone), the event might “trigger” a conditioned response — such as Pavlov salivating because he’s used to the bell.

There was no conditioned response.

The wordplay is clever because “paradox” not only describes Schrödinger’s cat but also the confusing situation of this fictional encounter.

There was no confusion.

That’s my interpretation of what they were going for.

I’m asking what the joke is. That’s the focus here. Because it’s presented as a joke. Even though it appears not to be. If you get it, please explain it.

Obviously. But what about them?

Eh?

Being mysterious doesn’t help me I’m afraid. Still don’t get it. The punchline doesn’t make sense and doesn’t ring a bell.

The fact that you haven’t just explained the joke makes me think you can’t because it doesn’t work as a joke. Right?

What’s the idea?

Thanks

Don’t get it. Suspect it doesn’t actually make sense.

you’re supposed to write a risk assessment

Risk assessments are trivially banal.

if I were running a site as a hobby I wouldn’t trust my own assessment

I’d trust mine. I have been trained to do them though. But having been trained, I can see how little is needed for them.

if it turns out you’re multi-risk then it looks like you need to be sure all sorts of measures are in place, some of which may require building capabilities that you don’t have yet

The measures that are required are the kind of things which now seem basic. Like having a means to flag posts as problematic. If I ran a forum that didn’t have such functionality, I’d be concerned regardless and probably take advantage of the kick up the arse.

I don’t blame anyone for deciding it’s not worth it.

Well that’s the question isn’t it. Is any particular forum worth bothering with. Clearly the cycling forum that’s shutting down isn’t. But I question whether that’s due to the new legislation.

This seems like an over reaction. I looked through the OFCOM overviews and I can’t see any reason why a small forum would need to shut down, they just need to do a little work to make sure they’re complying. No money needs to be involved from what I can tell.
