I couldnae give a toss about the ban, Oddball. I don't mind getting banned now and again. But for the future of the Forum as a whole, I really think the Mods have gone totally OTT with this. This particular Board has always been a brilliant setting for debate, helped in no small measure by Brix' excellent Moderation skills throughout. So why tinker with it? If it ain't broke............... Swords me ould mucha, you really don't get it do you. As I said above, the board has evolved dramatically in the last 12 months away from a predominantly football forum to a forum that now has a high percentage of OT threads. It was becoming more and more difficult to Mod. Some of these OT threads contained comments that some found funny but others found offensive. In the middle of all of this we had others who were deliberately stirring the sh••e. How do you Mod this? How do you keep a level playing field. All the review did was ask you as the members how you wanted this Modded going forward. Some of you had the suggestion that a sub-forum was needed for OT threads. This was explored and found to be a non runner by the site owner. If he had of sanctioned it I'm absolutely sure we would have one by now. What don't you understand about that? The few definitions that will be inserted add clarity for our members and Mods. As I said it won't affect 99% of people on here. What don't you understand about that? You're making something out of nothing.
There was a set of definitions drawn up so that consistency gets applied. There was also a set of procedures drawn up to allow members to know what to do under any aggrieved situation. Baiting, to my knowledge, has never been accepted (either for or against popular view). Mods don't want to intervene and are not on a power trip. There was a vote about most of this and I'm sure we can add yours to the total to see if it sways anything.
Over his head mate.. you should read some of the ****e he posts on there...some quite good...some really bad.."consistency" should become our motto PS..I've set that one up....?
Not sure why u think I'm better than anyone....never said that.... Not sure where the Hollywood or fantasy island comes from either. My point was that some of you arguing like kids is embarrassing when your grown men. I sometimes log on here to see what looks like a good thread about QPR, open it up to find a willy waving contest that has nothing to do with the topic. Just a shame as I think it can ruin the general site.
So you're happy to complain about past decisions and events but can't be bothered to get your facts straight and check out what happened? There's plenty of reading you can do rather than wasting a pretty unified board's time. If you do that background reading and find that there's a case to answer then raise it in full possession of the facts.
Thanks mate..by the way..can you get that horrible welsh flag thing of your avatar please,,And you could follow it with the paddy one if you want ?!!
Why are you getting so narked queens? As if I was directly talking about you? Still not sure what you mean by fantasy island and me posting on whatever that is?
Matt, I'm not entirely sure what you're talking about. To my mind there was no vote taken on the proposed new rules. Unless you're referring to the referendum on the old rules many months ago which was unanimously passed? I supported that one 100% as did everyone else (barring some Saints fan if I remember correctly?). My complaint here is entirely based around the new regulations that Brix posted up only a couple of weeks ago. No such measures were voted on.
Matt, in all honesty now. I'min Ipswich right now, but our version in Queens. As an observation, most of mods don't get tangled up in the crap posts like this & Brix's, Nuts strengths have always been to step back. Think that's what you need bruv. Don't rise, bite or get involved! just an honest observation!! Still one of the best posters here mate !
Mate, honestly not narked. if you want to post that you are embarrassed for some of us, then please expect some come-back! nothing personal mate, but I have read a lot of your posts on other sites. Some are very good..others not! Great to have you here mate, but you gotta understand that if you give it out; you will take it with intrest. Good luck mate as I have previously enjoyed a lot of your posts on other sites.. nothing personal bruv!
Swords You may feel that I am trying to bait you here but I'm genuinely confused as to exactly what problem you have with all of this. Keep posting as you entertain us all with you witty humour. Just keep it clean.
