You make a good point Vetch, though I'm not for banning any Jack unless he/she is repeatedly abusive (and by that I mean more than just calling everyone an idiot like Dai does). I've been called a 'prick' and worse on here and nothing was done because the guy who said it is a long time poster. When I gave as good as I got I was told I "wasn't helping" I've got no problem with rules but let's apply them evenly. Certain posters seem to get away with more than others it seems to me and even though Dai asks for trouble half the time there's a puerile bullying culture and herd mentality on the board these days which isn't pretty to see. However, I do have sympathy for the mods who can never please everyone. My only criticism (and don't take this personally, mods) is perhaps a lack of consistency in applying the rules.
I think our mods do a great job, if your expecting perfection, then maybe you need to join a knitting forum!.......
Tbh, I've been trying to please the majority, and maybe that won't solve the problem. If people think the rules aren't being applied evenly then that can change, and will change to see if that improves things. From now on, personal abuse from anyone will be removed ONCE seen by a mod. I think the warning system needs to be used, so any ideas on a fair way would be fantastic as I really don't want to be fishing out bands. If anyone spots abuse, please report the post or pm me or NJ and we will deal with it asap. This now applies to everyone!
Fully agree mate, the lack of consistency is pisses me off. The rules of no personal abuse doesn't apply across the board it seems. To be honest I'm getting fed up of this ****e constantly being drawn up here, and I think I'll just stop posting here as there seems to be a witch hunt out for Dai by certain posters on here. And I won't be a part of a forum that there is one rule for the majority yet different ones who don't conform to their viewpoint. Definition of a forum An Internet forum, or message board, is an online discussion site where people can hold conversations in the form of posted messages.[1] They differ from chat rooms in that messages are at least temporarily archived. Also, depending on the access level of a user or the forum set-up, a posted message might need to be approved by a moderator before it becomes visible.
Ash - couldn't PM NJ last time I tried as his lunchbox was full (or something like that). But there has to be consistency, mate or credibility goes out the window. I agree with everything you said.
Hows about a yellow and red card warning, yellow first offence , two or straight red ( for excessive abuse you ****whit !* ) = 24 hrs! *For example
It seems that there is the same group of posters involved in the bickering for the last few months. I dont know the answer to it an i cant force people to grow up and act adult !! school yard behaviour seems to be the norm amongst a few of our jacks lately and im not sure how you can change a personal mentallty or remove the devil inside. It seems people get sensitive when it suits them to me ! there are posters taking the moral high ground one minute and acting like morons the next..personally as a temp MOD i think its embarressing to read how some of us are behaving on other boards and towards other fans,never mind our own!! What is the answer ?? Easy, me and Ash should just say **** it and remove ourselves as MODS, lets have a free for all on here and totally **** everything up once and for all !! im sure thats what a few boys want on here anyway..for whatever reason. The bleating, moaning and hypocrisy has reached new heights these last few weeks and its the same people constantly involved, im not having myself manipulated by the "he said this,she said that,tell him sir..tell him!!" brigade or having my spare time ****ed around with any more tbh, comments like i read the other day were typical ,and i quote " the MODS will be kept busy in the next few days/weeks" ok i para phrase a bit but you get the idea !! Why the **** should Ash or myself be kept busy by **** stirring Jacks who enjoy wumming the opposition and each other up ?? im here to enjoy football banter not worry about who's gang is right and who's gang is wrong! its clear to see there is an agenda to **** about on here and i aint here to sweep up bollocks from childish ass holes intent on serving their own personal ego's and mini lunch time battles when bored as **** at home or in work. As of now i resign as a MOD and probably from this board,at least for a while. Football banter has been taken over by childish school yard bullshit and opinions have ceased to be respected. Debate about the Swans is practically non exsistant despite some superb threads posted by football minded Jacks,look at the recent Articles and see who wants to talk football and who wants to talk bullshit and bollocks,check the comments alongside and you will see how this forum is going down hill . People fall out, look at me and KJ, fell out for ages but even back then there was a respect to the content and the views of others,this doesnt happen anymore, its gang warfare and bullying on a grand scale and im having none of that, whatever a MOD does is the wrong thing and why the **** should the MODS have to teach people how to be respectful to others and to the forum ?? What load of Bollocks this place has become, a sad day folks ..but **** it im off

Some say there's a witch hunt out for Dai, but where? I've not seen any witch hunt, once again Vetch comes in half cocked, making these accusations but where is the evidence? From what I observed Dai told one of our Mods, to 'F Off', and got himself banned! serve his right as far as I'm concerned. What I have noticed though is there are too many posters trying to be chiefs, and not enough Indians. I notice the same ones who rarely contribute on here, raise their ugly mugs, and have a go at our mods, their agenda is not difficult to fathom out, shame they don't make some constructive input, instead of innuendo regarding the forum going to the dogs, anyway I'm soldiering on, not throwing in the towel for some hand bags at dawn!................
