Very sweet of you Roger but I can very rarely leave the house at the moment. Haven't been to Amsterdam since 2004 when we went over to celebrate our silver wedding.
Then stop slating us that have put ourselves forward for it. **** day at work Friday, grafted my arse off and went out straight after. Up in Scotland all day yesterday so little time to get on here and I'm a racist sympathiser? I read threads that I need to read. A mid doesn't need to read every thread, we need to read threads which are brought to our attention. We do it for free. If I was paid for it I'd gladly spend all my time reading through. I have no interest in most ot threads but if someone brings something to my attention from an it thread, we'll make sure We find the root of the issue.
At least I'm aware I can't give the board what it needs. You're even stating you can't give it the time it needs. It's not personal, but while none of you can give what's needed it's falling to ****. You can't have it both ways Marcus, it can't be neglected and expect the place to tick over smoothly. It's not some deep profound observation. It's pretty obvious and logical.
Thing is the personal abuse I've received from posters via pm has made me much less inclined to want to spend time on here. But no one will do it. I get on as much as I can. It's a voluntary position we take up. We all know we need 4 mods. We have 3 now and one wants someone to step forward. We have tried to get another mod on board. We've ran threads. Nobody wants the position. I'm guessing threads like this may be one of the reasons. Tell me what you expect? We don't have as much time as others, but others won't do the job. So we all say bye bye and you're left with zero moderators on here. Never mind having it both ways, you can't have it any way in that situation. Surely a little is better than none at all?
Threads like this? Try reading it. There's posters from about 6 different boards and many of our own supporting it, they're aware of the problem and think it's wrong that it's been allowed to creep in. They want it sorting too. Nah, I suspect it's more the racist and bigoted comments that flood your watch that puts people off. Not this thread that wants to get **** sorted instead of sweeping everything under the carpet and covering everything up until it next erupts. And of course king of the biggot crew thinks you're doing a good job. He and his cronies can get away with blue murder on here. Cry all you want the abuse in pms. It's just some swear words and a few names, why so hurt. It was nothing that attacks the very core of your values, background, family, your colour or religion. You think my swear words hurt you? Try being on the receiving end of the very thing people are complaining about Mr Mod.
Bullied for 15 years boy and man for being diabetic. Labelled in my younger years with it, you know nothing about me or what I've been on the receiving end of. I've had my current family threatened because of something that happened 20 years ago. My children so go **** yourself. I wasn't actually talking about your pms by the way. The title of this thread calls me a racist sympathiser. Why would anyone want to moderate on here. I wasn't on. I couldn't take action. Still haven't answered the question about mods though. You want us to step down yet no one else wants the job. So what happens if we do step down?
I wasn't casting aspersions into your private life so don't go on like have. That's not my style and you know it. But by all means twist my words by going on the defence about it to make it look like I have. Don't be a slink man. Doesn't matter if your were on for this incident. All of you turn a blind eye to this **** constantly. The amount of time people bite their lip while it's going on. Could that be because they're unlikely to get the support of the people with the power to make a difference? To answer your question, I wouldn't have let it get this way in the first place. I don't know what you(mods) should do now. Probably sort your(mods) **** out and make the place worth handing over to someone. It's your(mods) mess, your(mods) problem. My guess is you'll(mods) just let it deteriorate further by taking less action, giving it less time and attention. It comes across as you blame me for nobody wanting the job. Nowt to do with unmanageable dated prejudice that's infected the place. You blame me all you want. You(mods)are perfect. This place is perfect. Great job guys, known across the site as bunch of biggots. Just what we wanted. Notice the over use of brackets. Just so you're not taking it to personally as you don't seem to grasp that when I say you, I'm referring to you the mods. It's an arse writing it everytime but clearly I must. I feel you don't see the many complaints as valid. You've not responded to the many complaints or really acknowledging people are having genuine problems with the place. Fentonpell felt the need to disclose her personal situation on this very thread to help state her concerns, two mods have been on this thread since to engage and neither one of you have acknowlaged her concerns. Not even spoke to her. That was your time to step up and acknowledge her concerns and reassure her of efforts to stop it from happening in future. I mean where's the common decency? It's like you(mods) don't give a ****. I don't want any of you to step down, I want you to a get a grip. Marcus I've not even seen you even acknowlage the recent events(apologies if i've missed it) It just seems like self preservation. Get your head back in the sand. Not much more to be said is there? **** all will be done. Bout time I backed off. Can't make my point anymore. ****ing shambles.
Bri - remove your signature please and replace it with one that is not reference to banned posters - thank you
He doesn't need you to reiterate it does he Stu? He asked just fine all on his own. Thanks for all the insightful input though. Another one who likes to take cheep shots at peoples personal circumstances. Disabled people should be stripped of their benefits if I remember correctly(I do remember correctly). Thank god we've got you and your faultless moral code to back BRB up.
Show me where and when i made such a comment about disabled people please .................. for what its worth i agree with the fact there has been much too much unwanted comments on here about certain subjects,race ,religion ,family etc.
Easy to shout prove it when the search function is broken. You said it about me who is diagnosed with a permanent disability. You called me worse than **** for claiming. Wasn't your business to comment on and exactly the sort of thing I've been going on about. It was one occasion where I reacted in kind and I was disgusted with myself. I've been careful not to repeat that sort of behavior. Daft none spacific lifestyle names and a few swares should be enough for a clash without having to resort to low blows.
No we wont go there again ,if the content of posts change leading back to football well done, its about time too.
You said "Try being on the receiving end of the very thing people are complaining about" so that's why I felt the need to make that point - not being "a slink" just putting you straight as your comments seem to insinuate that I haven't when I have. I didn't see the events other than this thread - it was all taken care of before I managed to get any time on here - this thread is 11 pages long - I will read through when I get time - it's what I do - I read when I get the time - as it's silly season at work, that's quite difficult ATM
How comes when you claim something, I had to find it (the quote about Fergie calling Zlatan a big time Charlie), then when somebody else claims something you tell them they have to find it? That quote about Fergie doesn't exist by the way
