It's got nothing to do with closing or deleting threads. If you want to get in a fight with someone and bring threads to their attention the do it via PM not the way you currently operate. Your modus operandi is completely at odds with the way a moderator should function. I know you didn't agree with the celeb death threads either, but people were perfectly entitled to post them, read them, comment on them, etc. If some people want to ignore them, that's fine, but I was just pointing out that there is no need for the sarcasm. :) |

You have to realise that when you took on the responsibility of being a moderator you have accepted a position that is above the regular poster. |

Whether you like it or not the word MODERATOR is there in bold letters under your name and it has meaning.

We are allowed to comment on threads, share our thoughts and views, etc, just the same as anybody else - as long as we don't break site rules obviously! :) |

As for the dead 'uns... yep, cgaff. That's why I didn't respond to that thread, or bother to respond to this one until I saw the saintly Steve P get into a fight with CO over Butch. Then I could give a ff. :p |

This thread had the potential to be quite entertaining. As it is, we are heading for a rather dull re-run of the 'Oh So Quiet.......' thread ... yawn. |

Rule #10: The forums/private message, blog and email system are not to be used for the purpose of research, (questions, surveys or polls). What the heck's the majority of the site for then? |

The rules don't necessarily always make any sense, though, do they?

I wasn't looking to illicit a response, it was a rhetorical question, in case I was falling foul of the asking a question rule ;)
