    If we saw that, we'd mod it. If you saw it, you too can mod it by reporting it.

    All we do is tidy up on behalf of the board users, but board users have at least the same responsibility to let people know. I've done a quick search and at a glance it's only your comment that crops up, but if there's lots as you say, I'm surprised nobody else has raised it, I haven't noticed it, but can you post links to these threads and they'll be dealt with, and from this point forward, report any you see.

    As I said earlier in this reply, the board's for everyone, but the users have a responsibility too.

    Looks like I'm the only one didn't see it. If it crops up again, board users have a responsibility to let mods know. I can't speak for the others, but I don't read every thread, so users can moderate too.

    It's rightly now been moderated to Sagbo.

    It can though only be moderated when the moderators are aware there's a problem. It cannot be assumed the mods read every post on every thread.

    There was three match threads that came up, but also an awful lot of threads on other boards without the word in as far as I could see. I go to most games, so rarely read match threads, but as I keep saying, there's an onus on users to moderate themselves by letting us know if there's an issue.

    But now you know Erik has used a racist name for one of our players are you going to reprimand him (or take any action) or do you think simply editing the word makes everything better?

    Does hiding the evidence of racism (as you did with Asbo's comment on the bad driving thread) without dealing with the culprit do anything to prevent the same thing happening again in future? Or is it just a way to protect the racist?

    I've already spoken to him. Even though I only found out about just a few minutes ago. How's that for efficiency?

    Asbo's comment on the driving thread wasn't racist.

    Are YOU going to apologise for not reporting these threads you've seen (but can't link)? If YOU'VE seen them and done nothing, doesn't that make you guilty of the things you seem to be inventing for me? Have YOU challenged these racists you reckon are everywhere, getting away with all sorts?

    It does strike me that the mods views and their moderating is discussed on here more than I would expect.

    It's easy to see why when an issue such as the name change has caused such deep division amongst the fans.

    Imagine a scenario where for instance Craig, Happy and TigerFiley were the three mods on here rather than DMD, PLT (and the other one).

    Would the Board be less divided? Probably not.
    Would there be less personal nastiness being dished out? Probably not.
    The difference however is that a different group of posters would be made to feel victimised because of their views.

    Maybe I forget the name of the other one because he behaves more like a mod, and therefore I have noticed him less (even though I guess he agrees with the name change).

    Just my two cents.

    The posts that pointed it out were there for all to see before DMD deleted them.

    But for anyone who didn't see the post (using memory for the reasons mentioned) The OP posted a video of someone driving the wrong way up a one way street and your comment was to the effect of; What can you expect from some of the drivers in multi-racial Britain.
    There was literally no excuse for bringing race into a thread about bad driving and I even produced a still showing the driver was white.
    You can plead innocent for the umpteenth time, but anyone on here who reads a fraction of your posts knows different.
