Let's Do The Time Warp Again!

Nice idea this thread luvvy but damage is done unfortunately I feel.

 

Go back further, I did what I did in reaction to other things. But I don't want to get into it. I saidsai the OP things have to change from all or it'll continue. My agenda is to get back to normal where you didn't have to get involved.

 

It can pretty much be that way, but the problem previously was that it was creating a lot of work for brb dealing with reports from posters about others. It wasn't as 'perfect' as you imagine.

 

That can happen but the socks need to stop.

 

Maybe right.
Everyone has to take a step back here. The are clearly sides and both have to make allowances or it'll continue as it is. Does anyone want that?

 

Agreed. And a fair call. I'm genuine here and not on the wind up.

 

I’ve never used one. But others have I know. Some like Hiag’s granny were genuinely funny. But,yeah, I accept that much.

 

There will always be a certain amount of work a board generates but it has got out off hand.

 

20+ socks in 24hrs is not funny. Not sure why creating work for the admin team is funny.

 

Which he has done, but some don't agree with his idea of "a ****ing good reason", so what do we do, make everyone a mod?

As for the cry arseing to brb, I think brb would soon put you right on who that was and you wouldn't like his list of names and will only claim he is lying again. So nothing will change.

You and I had a bigger problem than anyone here has had and we managed to sort it in the end. I know tobes and stan keep trying to drag it all back up at every opportunity, but we have managed to remain above it all. I hope that continues despite their best efforts.

 

No reason it will not be, as before

 

You have a simple choice, stop generating work and i stay away.

 

Difference of opinion is fine, do you think the board is better like it is now? Constant arguing that gets out of hand?

My reasons for posting are genuine, I can see that some will think otherwise but consider that I've not really fallen out with anyone on either side other than brb and that was dealt with between us.

 

Good post Tel!

Just to add, it's a nice idea having an unmodded forum but there are occasions when having a regular poster who's a mod does have its benefits.

People do occassionally post stuff genuinely by accident. Having someone there who can spot and take immediate action without causing a fuss or having others take offence and dragging the supermods into it does have its benefits.

Just an example from experience. Someone posts a Facebook link that identifies another poster. A genuine and horrifying mistake by the poster. Having a mod there to delete the post before things deteriorate does help.

Genuine mistakes do happen.

This is still a good forum that's lost its way just recently but it'll be back. It'll just take time.

And if you think this place has been bad recently then you've clearly never been on the Sunderland board. It might be quiet now, but at one time it was Dodge City, Basra and Hades all in one place.

Most of the lads seemed to fall out at one point or another but they were mates again after a while. Its called pub life!

 

So remove the mod and back off yourself and give it a chance to do that. One of us will be right and it'll either be fine again or we will have to accept a mod is needed.

 

I'd like to see an anonymous mod in place if we cannot go back to self modding.

 

My honest to god opinion is that if you just start posting normal ( ) threads, all will be fine. If brb let's stan back in, there will be a **** storm as he is the single most disruptive snide on the internet.

Close this thread and get back to posting like 'normal'.

 

People know you and would think you have an agenda.

 

The politics thread is another animal and Stan kept it in the until recently. He was fine outside that thread

 

If they think I have an agenda, they clearly don't know me. That is their problem, not mine, and says a lot about their own mindset.
