Most of the people who post there are clearly absolute dicks. Why would a comment you don’t agree with make you complain to the newspaper? This site is not entirely free of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleepyJoe Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Does IOM Newspapers have a moderator? It's the one constantly crowing about their winning battle with herpes that irritates my ageing skin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You also seemed to say that you have reported things before above. Which prompted me to ask why. I have expressed an opinion, that's all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augustus Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 7 hours ago, Roger Mexico said: To be fair I don't think they have any junior secretaries or indeed any secretaries at all. Local newspapers have had budgets and staffing slashed over the last few decades and IOM Newspapers have the problem that they are staffed like a local newspaper, but have a nation to cover with all its complexities. So they aren't going to waste time on stuff they are providing for free. (There may also legal implications - monitor your comments too closely and you become more responsible for them). You're being very generous to them. They are shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you posting from a parallel timeline where offices still have secretaries? Where local newspapers even still have offices?
