Initial Thoughts

Dexter is a relative newcomer to these Forums,and went from virtual obscurity to being the people's choice for new mod.
That was a very unfair situation to have put him in.
He probably felt overwhelmed by it all.
Let's give him some slack since he is clearly still struggling to cope with the inner workings and machinations of this place.
IMHO.

 

I personally wasn't distruptive anyway.

I offered free cuddles (and dummies) in exchange for being appointed mod. I feel extremely disappointed Dexter has thrown this back in my face

 

I'm getting ridiculed here for just trying to be polite. I did not chose to be at the centre of this and I cannot understand why people would criticise me just for being different to the flow. I am off for my lunch now so I will not be here to provide entertainment for at least an hour

What I don't get about this forum is how people like to put a fence around each one, and you can only come in under certain conditions. This is an open forum. There's no reason to say who can or can't post on a particular topic. I should be free to discuss Swansea/other teams matches, I should be able to engage in off topic discussions, and in my opinion I should even be able to discuss mod choices on other boards if I want to (after all the mods affect my enjoyment of said board). Just because I've chosen to support Cardiff City, why should I be treated any different over here to somebody who chooses to support Swansea?

As long as I'm not being abusive or disruptive I should be able to say what I want, where I want, surely?! In fact if I'm anything, I'm a football fan ahead of being a Cardiff fan (expects "plastic!" taunts) and I like to watch and discuss many teams. In this case who's team am I an insider or outsider of?

Rant over. Not even sure I make sense!

EDIT: This isn't all directed at you, Dexter. This just happens to be the thread that I was on and your one comment just set me off. I don't want to come across as having a go at you.

 

Don't worry about it.Dexter.
This Forum can seem a lonely and inhospitable place on occasion,even for hardened veterans.
You've done nothing wrong,but you are now probably aware of the fine line posters have to tread sometimes,lest they offend.
Enjoy your lunch.

"Since childhood, Dexter has felt homicidal urges directed by an inner voice."

Of Course your right there passive, we dont own the swansea board like fans think. no club owns their forums as everyone is entitled to go on any clubs board and join in any discussion they wish to partake in.....The only job of the mod is to intervene if someone comes on to a board just to cause trouble. This is so easy to do as the minute the mod see's or is informed that someone is disrupting the thread with nothing to do with the topic then he can instantly delete and ban said poster for the rest of the day. If they come back the next day doing the same then the mod informes the supermod and the supermod can ban him for what ever period he see's fit...This is all the mods job is at the end of the day. Its not complicated or hard to do.

 

I loved Dexter (the series!!!) Quality TV is in short supply these days. That and Breaking Bad for me.

 

I loved both of those series (although I'm still waiting to watch season 8 of Dexter).

Lost, Fringe and Supernatural are up there with the 2 you mentioned

 

What's it all about?

So Dexters first request is totally ignored You can't make this up

 

Spot on Dexter.

 

Thats a big assumption from a Cardiff stealth wummer.

 

......says the Voice of Reason. What a ridiculous thing to post.

 

Glad to see you got the spoon out of your arse in time to make things interesting again
