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

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.

In fairness, I would hate to be a mod, because there are many occasions that they can't do right for wrong!
Where do you draw the line? It's a tricky one.
However, it would be nice to see everyone beaten with the same stick for the same offence & sadly, that simply doesn't happen!

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.

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)
Banning me yet mitzy boy ?

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.

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.

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!
