Wow, sorry to hear that ... I have very close links with someone who has Aspergers. Trying to get her to post on an internet forum would be almost impossible as she just wouldnt be able to cope with everything, or understand properly what people were conveying to her. A sense of fairness would be, should I say, not present because of that

You're doing extremely well to be able to post here then!

It's not an easy job - I ran a very successful forum for 6 years and you can't please all of the people all of the time. What offends one, another will find funny or not register at all. The key is to finding what suits the majority, based on the audience. And, yes, consistency.

Oh, OK ... well it should do in an ideal world, but I guess mods are only human and aint here all the time anyway so things do get missed sometimes. But thats not done on purpose .... its not easy, as you say

It's a filthy, dirty business alright moneypenny.
If they only knew the full extent of the filth and dirt perhaps they wouldn't be so bloody cavalier. But they shall not hear a word about it from my lips.

Where do you draw the line? It's a tricky one.

Sadly there are black and whites such as the site rules. Then there are the various shades of grey in between for things which do not fall neatly into those tick boxes.

The people who volunteer to moderate only do so from a desire to make this forum a better place for all. I think most of the time it works out that way. But we are only human and just try to do the right thing, but much like any human endevour its not going to be perfect.

Hmmm, your friend obviously hasnt had the life experiences that I have in dealing with people.
Bottom line for me is that offense, sarcasm & other crap doesnt offend me, it fuels my thought process.

I'd like to ask you a question actually... Were you asked to come on this forum because the others couldnt handle it ? Been on this forum since august 2003, cant recall you being here on the barbie.
Are you like "the wrath" ? Theres always a internet hero in print (ONLY)

I tell you, my hair was straight before I started Modding. It's curled up tight now from some of the horrors I see on a daily basis It's not easy being a Mod, there's some right scary shit out there Thankfully that huge pay cheque each month helps lighten the pressure.

I completely understand that but it is very difficult when you can see trends for certain posters getting away with posting stuff that others get pounced on for.
I also think that it is something that none fo us should take too seriously though as it is only an internet forum & that includes you Luke sweetie!

Not a friend ..... my niece. Maybe she hasn't Luke, I dont know ... as you know there are so many aspects to it.

No of course I wasnt asked to come on this forum at all, mods are here already .... as a SM I am always here, just found several things to comment on that were of interest to me, thats all.

Internet hero ... banning? I dont know why you had to throw that into the pot on here

Hey! Now you are just being paranoid Luke! Mitzyboy has been on here before, in fact his username always makes me chuckle as I work with a very nice lady called Mitzy!

Now, if we can get back to Al & his promises, that should be interesting!
