Our 'Rules' + Moderator Defaults

[Elong]

People having a petty argument isn't light hearted though mate, it's just daft. There are a tonne of better examples of genuine laugh out loud moments on here.

I think it highlights a few major problems with the place and I'm happy to be in an example of one of those issues if it's for the greater good.

What is it an example of? From my angle, it seems the kind of thing that really should be taken privately as it's between a couple of folks and of little interest to the wider membership. Things like the private messages and the ignore function are available for just this kind of thing

Posters playing the victim.

That may or may not be, but it takes two to argue, and everyone knows that it veered wildly from the point of the thread, and Groucho asked for it to go back on topic, yet it carried on regardless. I quite agree with Chico in that it would be ideal if the place was largely self-policing, but we need members to take responsibility for that to happen, even if that's stepping back and not engaging in something that is clearly not helpful.

Can the mods be a bit strict at times?

Yes.

Can the forum go a bit nuts at times?

Yes.

We just need to find the right balance again.

Being able to neg bomb beauts would go a long way towards achieving this.

Bruce. In the end I simply logged off rather than derail the thread any more. I was trying to keep it to topic as well.

May I just say that the (off topic) squabble that stained this thread last night is exactly what we'd be issuing thread bans for in the other forums. We have to read through that painful rubbish - trust me, it isn't fun at all.

"you iz a nazi lid..." "no I iz not..." "yeah you really iz.." "no I iz not..."

Top bantz lads. The Paladium's calling.

Nazi.

See. This is another thing wrong with the forum currently.

If you have a chat with a moderator. You're called a "brownnoser".

It's just plan stupid this forum at the moment.

Only certain people think the can talk to moderators about the thread topic. The ones who - micknick pointed out.

Anyone else and they immediately see their arse and start tagging names. "Brownnoser" just the latest.

Ridiculous.

I'm more than grown up the majority of the time as you well know. The entire back and forth was deliberately obtuse. In fact, talking about the boring talk, is just a boring innit!

 

[Elong]

Everyone just needs to lighten the F up.

 

[bizzaro]

I just want to be able to chat to who I want when I want.

@Bruce Wayne is this too much to ask?

I don't think so.

Use the PM service was the suggestion I think.

 

[bizzaro]

I'm off to the Moshiri + stadium threads.

Maybe tech support in the ale house.

Otherwise logging off. To get some peace.

Talking of seeing your arse how is that match preview coming along?
