I always thought the role of the moderator was to stay impartial, and basically resolve any arguments that occurred - i.e. a Policeman of the board.
As such, i would have thought he would have to stay out of discussions/arguments etc.?:D
In which case, what a great decision - no-one could be more worthy of having a gag put on them.:thumbsup:
If this isn't the case, then it's been nice speaking with you all - good luck.:(

You've got me curious now - I'll have to check his threads and see what he's said that is so outrageous.... Don't think I've ever had a conversation with the guy....

How broad-minded is he?

Does it mean I can restore the avatar I was using this morning???

Surely even a moderator is allowed an opinion? I have always thought it possible to disagree with someone without resorting to an argument or mud-slinging.

Er no.......... I jokingly posted an avatar that was a picture of an intimate part of a woman's body.......... mainly as I had been called a rude version of that earlier (for the first time in my life, as far as I know). It was removed by the lovely Sue, The Boredmistress, before anyone apart from Welsh Viking had noticed it........ hence her comment on the 'Whoring' thread........

Its not easy being a mod, and some forums are more difficult to moderate than others ;) it would be nice if you gave us all some slack. Poor GarethR has only been one for less than 24 hours. How about giving him a chance.

Thanks

And it's so unfair that self-portraits are not allowed to be avatars........

Well the thread could have done with a few more "Good Luck Matey" type messages......

it's a dirty job, but someone (allegedly) has to do it.... Rather him than me, especially with the likes of you around.
