Re: POLITE REQUEST
 

Actually, as a moderator, it is within my remit to decide.
No it didn't because people were being personally insulted left right and centre. Just because the rules are now being applied isn't an excuse for you throwing your toys out of the cot.
Bless!
I retired from the RAF in 2000 and have been working in the same profession (ATC as opposed to dealer of death from the skies) since then, so not sure of the relevance to 2013.

If you or anyone else has an issue with how I moderate, or how any of the moderators operate, then please take it up with Sue, she'll love to hear from you.

Re: POLITE REQUEST
 

Totally agree. It's not all about you Mike - why not find another site to **** up?

Re: POLITE REQUEST
 

:amen:

(RAF - More of ticklers of death than dealers ?)

Re: POLITE REQUEST
 

You make the rules up as you go along. (Think we proved that with the name of the dodgy agent in Doha) Leave posts that are written in this forum, in this forum where they were wanted not where they are not.

If you want to feel self important go delete the spam from Devonte you seem to have missed all over the other forum.

Bring it on guys, I've had my man up pills today :)

Re: POLITE REQUEST
 

You seem to take any personal criticism of anyone as a personal attack or insult, when really its just a disagreement or a bit of heated discussion. I really don't see the point of stopping that as it just curbs healthy debate.

You have to make allowances for us who are not articulate enough to diasagree with someone without telling them they are being a wanker. :p

Re: POLITE REQUEST
 

shame, it the makings of a fun north / south debate although Meow was batting for the other side

Re: POLITE REQUEST
 

So it's not against the rules to personally insult people left,right and centre- in the TIO forum-because that is what happens in there.
Any decent debate spirals into a slanging match featuring the usual suspects.

The thread in question wasn"t even contentious,did you receive any complaints about it?
Or was it moved on the subjective judgement of a moderator?

There are plenty other fora out there engaged in mind numbing discourse @
handbags,hairdo's and school spats, please,don't turn this one into the likes
of them.

Mikes still uspset at buying the dodgy Primarni suit !

Re: POLITE REQUEST
 

When it gets heated is when it gets interesting. No need to move that particular thread at all...

Re: POLITE REQUEST
 

What originally happened is that there were posts on The Lounge obit thread, but as there were likely to be many posts, and they could, and are, controversial, then JG moved those posts to TIO in the general section. Many of the country specific sections still have threads in their own forums, csrtainly the Barbie, in the OZ forum does, as does the Canada forum, The Maple Leaf. I don't think there was any admin decision that meant all threads about her had to be moved.

Re: POLITE REQUEST
 

will they do the same if HRH dies?

Re: POLITE REQUEST
 

One would hope that they close the site out of respect for a month.

Re: POLITE REQUEST
 

Nothing to talk about? Right, because no one has anything to say about anything that has happened in the past. And none of it is ever relevant to the present day?

You must be kidding...
