I think most of you have missed the point(s) 1) This thread was offering myself as a sacrificial lamb. 2) I had intended to give people a vehicle to vent re: a) Posters like myself b) The mods Perhaps I should change my name to everyman or class clown? Perhaps then people would better see where I am usually comimg from? As Iain so rightly said this forum is discussed on Farcebook, sadly few of the people who 'complain' on there have the balls to come and complain on here. SO I offered myself up as the 'victim'. Given the response of one or two I'm damn sorry I did, but at least I now know where I stand with them. As for my response to MikeUK why was that anymore (or less) petty than the majority of his comments? |

Name some? Its easy to accuse anyone of being overzealous but without evidence to support this its just an unfounded accusation. I would be interested in your interpretation of overzealous.
They are also very good at interpreting banter as malice. |

I am surprised by this,as you both come across as overzealous in your reactions to potential misdemeanors.
I have said MANY times I am open to receiving feedback, but all I get is positive "dont let them get you down" messages. If people have something to say about the forum, then say it to our faces, not behind our back on Facebook:frown: In my time as a mod I have temporarily banned a grand total of two users, and both times it had the desired effect. CO has NEVER banned anyone other than spammers to my knowledge. Thats hardly "overzealous" in my opinion. Its pretty clear that if you post outside the guidelines, and it gets reported, then the mods will edit or delete. However the harping about the moderation on this forum (in more than just this one thread) is detracting from the forums intended purpose, and if it continues, then action will be taken to clean it up , for better or worse. If people are unhappy, and cant be bothered to find out both sides, well thats just too bad I'm afraid. |
Re: Advice please
And before this gets any more personal, Im closing it, and will edit out anything resembling a personal attack.
OK, so make that three temporary bans now. Any more for any more? |
