That is a very different situation to what is being raised here. Which is that people are restricted from posting for no apparent reason and with no warning (depending on who they are) and that many don’t bother coming back which will ultimately result in a forum with a very small number of people posting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Gay'n Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 I have never had anything close to a run-in with a mod. There have been members who have been utter prats, and they tend to burn out and then fade away. Other than those (some of course who may return in other guises) I like the skeet with everyone else. I don't agree with everyone, and don't expect everyone to agree with me. As most of you can see, I don't spend every waking minute here, either - which would not be good for my mental wellbeing, methinks. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yet here you are... I think people are more likely to be put off by having to wade through topics clogged up with a few posters having pointless and often personal rows with each other than the remote likelihood of being stopped posting for a short period. And of course most people reading don't even bother to post. There's currently about 150 reading but less than 30 logged in and even those that do may be infrequent posters. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s be clear, for you, and others claiming discriminatory moderating, and that their suspension, or restriction, was for no apparent reason and with no warning, you’re in denial. You either trolled, or were trolled and responded back and fro. You just need to re read the stuff you exchanged over mpg. It was hard to distinguish who was most to blame, you or the other party. Truth doesn’t come into it. There’s no justification for the thread shitting. 5 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is slightly ironic that posts stating people should spend less time here and have a bit of distance keep being lined (within minutes) by the same people 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should posters just back down when they are factually correct and let others abuse them? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Passing Time Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 (edited) As a recipient of a suspension or three, I would suggest they are well deserved. A break gives you time to cool your heels and take your head for a wobble. Edited November 14, 2022 by Passing Time 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest this is boring now. What extra privileges do you think you should have on here over and above anyone else that means that you shouldn’t be treated like everyone else. Especially when it seems to be you a good percentage of the time who deliberately winds other posters up. Rather than blaming the mod, maybe you should analyze your own behaviour? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having been a mod for a very short time, I get the pressure the mods are under. This is not just from posters but the shit storm that can rain down if there is a really bad, say libellous, post. Just man up, accept it is the price you pay for participating and learn. If you like the platform, behave. That is all, it is not as though this is your only outlet. If you don't like it go and start your own and be prepared for the whines, the legal threats and the police interest. They have all happened 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not talking about libellous or even contentious posts, I am talking about situations where someone is stating that (for example) Alf is Chef minister and some other clown comes along and says “no he isn’t, prove it” It’s factual, it can be shown to be factual, but the other poster accuses the person stating facts of making stuff up. The person telling the truth gets restricted from posting for no reason and with no warning. No wonder it’s a quiet “forum” with a tiny number of members. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He states a very poor case really as I bet anyone else would have been banned well before now for arguing with a moderator 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
