    I have been a moderator on the Bristol City forum for nearly a year now,it has been a pleasure to be here helping our forum grow in terms of membership,depth of discussion and the amount of enjoyment or agony it gives to the people it serves,we have become one of the top 15 forums on the not606 site,not bad considering the ways our fortunes are going with regard to our football team.

    I acknowledge with the upmost conviction this is a public forum and not the individual property of any single person or small interested parties but in the interest of the majority I have honestly always tried to maintain balance,decency,the will of the majority and deny any bigotry,discrimination or sick comments about family or a persons faith,that is the serious stuff out of the way.

    When a mod is started off we are given certain powers which anybody with sense knows not to abuse but we are able to influence debates,conversations and protect to a certain extent the conduct of all participants,making sure balance and fairness takes place without abuse,foul language or insulting or mindless behavior taking place,to protect minorty points of view but to enable the majority to express itself without cause for concern

    Recently and becoming more often we are having good debates and threads ruined by members of other boards and I will name names, certain members of Bristol Rovers board or the General chat forum putting up cross threads causing some problems,some of our members like to join in the banter,including myself but I'm not prepared to have people leaving our board because we are being flooded with mundane comments,provocotive material or constant wums about our club,our education,location or culture,now before anybody says I'm angry,it's getting under my skin,I can't take it or I'm throwing things out of my pram,I'm not,all this type of comment can go on a banter thread,as they do by the way on a lot of the other boards,repartee amongst fans can go on on match threads as we already do,all and sundry are welcome here for general debate and sensible conversation but with mutual respect shown for each other.We,as mods have the ability to close,merge or delete threads even cross board threads,I have never used or abused these priviledges but to protect,develop and enjoy this board I will use them from now on if needs must.

    Over the last couple of days I have been involved in retoric and conversations I don't need,as an individual I am not prepared to tolerate the stupidity that is being thrown my way,I am aware that when you put yourself up for this task a certain amount of humour is required but honestly I do this for pleasure and the enjoyment of being involved wiith fans of Bristol City Football Club which does truly mean the world to me.

    This might not seem an important point to some but to me this is a Bristol City forum and it should be led by Bristol City people and anybody else is a guest and should respect the values and ethics of our people,if they don't then use a banter thread,their own board or stay away.

    You have noticed that I (we) have apponted Angelic to the task,he is most welcome and I will be honest I have tried in earnest to get on board another to work with us and take this board forward,I have been getting frustrated of late with not be able to direct the way some activities have evolved,so it must be pretty obvious to you that this has been a planned maneuver.

    I have always believed I had the confidence and respect of the majority of people I serve on this forum but the question of my ability to rise to the task has been raised so I am more than willing to step down and let Angelic ( who doesn't even know I'm putting this to you) carry on and replace me with someone else.

    I fully realise this is only a bit of fun on a peoples forum but if I keep your confidence I will apply all the standards required,if I am not wanted,no hard feelings,I will return to being a fully active member.

    Thankyou.......wiz

    Wize,

    To be honest all this 'banter' is getting very same old, same old. Its the same old abuse rattled out again and again. (yes by me too!) but its getting very boring.

    Certain threads are being ruined for people that want to discuss things a bit more seriously and I think they should be able to have a platform to do that. I dont have any problems with the sag boys, but like I say, boring.. besides I look at the number of guests who follow threads at the bottom and its probably scaring them off from signing up.


    I for one think you are doing a fantastic job and yes, it is time for a clean up..

    As I said before Wiz, 'if it ain't broke don't fix it' so carry on mate. Yes there has been an influx of rovers 'fans' posting on here in the last few days, but what has made it worse is there has been no wit included, I have read childish trash from cjs of whom I had thought had shown a form of intellectual humor in the past and the latest remedial to start spouting off **** showing signs of a learning disability is spunky. We are City fans, rovers isn't a word you would normally use in your house, so I don't get all this buisness of City fans sitting on the fence so called applauding holloway.... wtf.... turning soft? We hate the rovers, we should be telling the manipulating little ****er to **** off, infact if I bumped into him I'd give him so real stick.. like this

    Canada has always supported you wize and I hold you in high regard especially when certain individuals, who don't understand what respect is, come on our board for the sole purpose of slagging you, and others, off with totally inane remarks.

    Since the loss of BBC 606 I believe that yourself and others have done a remarkable job in getting not606 running. It's a credit, not just to your dedication to the site, but to your love of our Bristol City Football Club.

    Keep it up mate and you will always have my support!

    'I have honestly always tried to maintain balance,decency,the will of the majority and deny any bigotry' -
    Wiz - your article 'Once a Twat....' etc etc doesn't exactly portray the above comment.

    Posted a long time ago, might have been on the old606, that I could not understand why you kept replying to CJS. He is totally false.
    I could NEVER be a mod as I'd delete EVERY Sag comment which I know would go against the very idea of Forums.
    I hope Wiz you carry on with Angelic, the time you have put into this site has been unbelievable and you deserve great credit.

    Three points:

    1, Yes indeed Lan, it must take you ages to scroll down with those webbed hands of yours

    2, Aren't you talking about us, AGAIN? Obsessed, bitter, fickle and RED <laugh>

    3, Get a grip lads. This is all getting a bit over-dramatic and Merchant and Ivory-esque. It's a bloody football forum, not the Royal Courts of Justice or Hansard. I know that you're going through a rough patch, but please lighten up.....



    ....otherwise I may never stop laughing <laugh><laugh>

    Three Points:

    1, Your obsessed with us hence why your always here

    2, You all go hiding (apart from cjs) when things go bad,our forum always has posts on

    3, Get a grip? you are aware when ever we banter back you all write the same thing "there getting angry" when indeed we are just responding a bit like you have about lan

    as for the laughing thing, have your laugh now because it always comes back and bites you twice as hard hence league 2 <laugh>

    This is just proves what I am trying to high-light,a serious thread amongst BCFC fans,been up all day 8 or 9 comments,no problems,1 comment from a sag and what do we get,insults about our physical appearance,insults and name calling and a lecture how we should behave and act,thus calling for a reaction from our fans..

    I am honestly beginning to depair..

    ok....

    first of all, i think wiz you are the best person from your side to have become a mod over here and i for one hope you remain. you were and still are the most respected red (in my opinion) on this forum due to your history that you have with us going back to bbc606 and now on here not606. reason why i hold you in such high regards, and i believe i speak for most if not all gasheads, is because you have a good sense of humour with us gas. you have shown up down the years on our boards giving banter and have shown up on our boards taking banter. you got yourself involved with us and as a result had a good laugh. this may have been on rovers/city threads and also on topics/discussions which wasnt even to do with football like on chris's word association thread for example. you must admit we have had some very good laughs. sometimes its been at your expense which you laugh along and some at my expense <grr><laugh> and most of the time it ends up being at chris's expense. with all this in mind, you get what were about. you know we are harmless and its just banter, nothing else. nothing has really changed from what we all got up to from bbc606, which is why i was very happy that you became a mod on here as you can easily tolerate us more than most as you know us and been around us pretty much daily down the years and in away one of us but a red. i for one hope you stay as a mod as you are well respected from your own fellow fans and from us gas.

    2nd of all, i do think though that this whole thing has been blown way out of proportion which im sure you will disagree with. we certainly do not post on every thread. take a look at your board. my thread about the football league show after your latest defeat which was a wum. your ollie is a twat thread which you know would get attention from us. that was it. then all of a sudden you make your special gashead thread about asking for votes to ban us. i seriously still dont know where that thread came from (im not asking you to justify it either by the way <ok>). i can only guess that as city lost and you seen a wum thread by me and then you see a few rovers fans stick up for ollie on your the ollie twat thread, to me and the rest of us gas, it looked like you were being bitter (thats how it looked, sorry if its not the case but see it from our side) so you tried to get rid of us by getting a vote on banning us. the fact that you are the number 1 wummer against rovers (which we enjoy by the way) doing your banning thread obviously stirred things up with us (considering the way it looked, again sorry if that wasnt the case). since that thread of yours, only 2 other threads have been made which was chris's wum at you about banning city fans which i could see wouldnt go down too well and spunkys wum (shinys best mate) where there were a lot of banter on there. no other threads has been touched in a wum way. so again i think this whole thing has been blown out of proportion. other threads on your board which has comments on from myself have been respectful / constructive. its being made out that we are on every thread wumming ruining it for your board when thats far from the truth.

    im sure if you think about it and be honest, you will understand where im coming from. well i hope you can see it from how it looks from my end anyway <ok>. if not then im honestly sorry you feel the way you do. i have and im sure no other gas on here have any intentions to make you feel or anyone else feel the way you do.

    end of the day, rovers do crap (nothing unusual) and we get wums. city do crap so you get wums back. thats what happens. think over the years rovers have tolerated much more than what were currently dishing out. your team is going through a bad patch and relegation may be on the cards. you get some wums from us and here we are today. thats why your getting comments such as bitter as thats what it seriously looks like. last season we were in as relegation battle and got relegated and 1st time ever 2 leagues apart. we got ripped by you lot. now a couple of threads in last few days about your season and look whats happened?

    i personally get on with everyone from your side. those who take things seriously like alandicks and onefor plus many more (cant name everyone) i have just as much respect for them as i do to those who i reply to the most who are involved with the banter. the last thing i want is anyone to be put off from your board, this forum or this site. like you i want this site to succeed wiz <ok>

    if your less tolerant of me or any other gas then instead of us trying to read your minds that you had enough of us and only find out about it when your doing a thread to ban us, please just tell us when we crossed that line. i for one would stop straight away. then things like this would have been avoided. im telling you what to do. im just giving ideas out to avoid situations like this again so things can remain active and flowing <ok>

    i know you dont like me wiz. im not upset about that. its just the internet. not bothered really if you like me or not. for the record, i do like you wiz even if you dont believe it. i wont lie, i have enjoyed last few days as its about time we are able to laugh at citys expense even if we are still in league 2. things like bcfc_red saying bombfire in particular gave me the most laugh.

    i hope you can understand my comment and see where im coming from on some things insread of just dismissing it as that would be a shame. i would like to offer a olive branch and to start again and be how we use to be <ok> i dont know if you can remember wiz but not so long ago i looked on your forum and saw a few threads closed by yourself and i missed what happened, i PM you asking if you were ok. you replied back but my point now is yeah i like to wum like majority do but also i have shown you that we can get along.

    what do you say? bygones be bygones? start fresh? <peacedove>

    I think we may be looking at it from the wrong angle, I think this may explain the sags obsession with being on this board (coupled with the fact there is no one on theirs!)

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inferiority_complex

    Perhaps its an illness? I would be sick if I supported the Gas..

    Look at Bluebaldees last 4 or 5 posts, he is losing it big time, I dont think he is safe..
