Moderation on here

It seems I've upset at least one poster, and they started a thread with a lot of personal abuse and nonsense, but basically they were suggesting it was time the situation on admin on here is reviewed, which is fair enough.

There's also been an increase in posts with a political basis, so maybe it's time to review that too.

So if anyone has any suggestions for different posters being mods, or for different approaches to how the board is moderated, here's a thread to discuss them, although posts just being abusive are liable to be removed so that a reasonable conversation can be had.

At the end of the day, the board belongs to the posters not the mods, so it's over to you folks.

 

I think a regular review on moderation should be in place anyway, regardless of how well (or bad) it is moderated.


No politics rule should absolutely remain though and should only be broken for specific threads around events such as elections.

 

If people want to offer a considered opinion, that's fine, but if it's used an excuse to post childish abuse as has just happened, the culprit will simply be blocked from the thread, which is surely counter productive.

 

Why delete threads questioning your integrity?

 

Then start one if your own?

 

Power mad debate stifler

 

Those who jump to personal insults at the first opportunity should just be banned from the threads, as for politics I agree with quill ( there's a first ) it should any be for unique events / threads

From a personal POV I think the board on a whole is looked after and moderated pretty well

 

Don’t agree ... get questioned ... delete

repeat

Man’s a ****

 

From what's left on, I'll leave others to guess at the standard of reply on here and in my in box from one poster.

This thread is here for people to offer their views. If people decide a new mod is needed, I'm happy to go with the consensus.

 

You should be banned...It's your way or the highway.You simply cannot accept criticism and resort to name calling.You're part of a clique on here and you don't like to be challenged!!!

 

Cant say I'm bothered really !
Match day threads just end up bickering and we know how most feel about certain things .
Dont post enough now to care enough !

 

Theres more than one clique

 

No offence, but you have done the same to me on match threads for even daring to criticise the team. Should you be banned?

Unlike howden, who when he does have a go, actually tries to engage in conversation, you just resort to insults.


To suggest there's just one clique on here is absolutely hilarious. There's about six or seven, and you're in one yourself.

 

That’s rich. He deletes posts & threads to suit his agenda, hide his ignorance. He’s a prick who needs calling out for abusing the little but of power he has.

It’s not the first time he’s been called out for it.

 

Can I take that as a teeny tiny compliment

 

I’ll echo these thoughts. Interested to know what others think about how the board is looking and suggestions of taking that forward.

 

On the whole the moderation on here is good, and it's a hard job being a moderator. Those that don't like it have three choices, complain, accept what they object to, **** off elsewhere.
