Moderation queries.

I do have to say that no longer being a Moderator is way much more interesting.  Life after Death as it were.  I have just rejoined The Human Race.

Mind you, I have learned a thing or two.  And this is never a bad idea.

Welcome to the dark side.

Welcome to the dark side.

No thanks.

The post did not refer to any one specific perchance .

It referred to everyone who had posted on the thread that didn’t agree with G-Unit.  She removed the offensive phrases but no points were issued.  I can only therefore assume it’s ok to refer to a collection of McCann sceptics as a gibbering bunch of pricks -  I just wanted clarity on the issue before I deployed said or similar insult.

No thanks.

Too late .

Why thank you mam, like being savaged by a dead sheep.

it was the General’s insult, I’m sure he’d be disappointed with your assessment.

If a moderator sees wa post on the forum which is clearly both abusive and insulting should they automatically delete it and apply a warning to the author, or let it stand if they agree with the sentiment, despite said post being reported numerous times?

“Shut up, there's only 6 of us here, nobody gives a shit except you and maybe 2 other plebs and that's only because you keep getting well and truly owned.
Wind it in and get on topic yourself.”

Is this post within forum rules?  G-Unit clearly thinks so as she has been made aware of it and it remains on the forum at this time of writing.

This issue has been moved up the chain of command, so I suggest you wait for the result. Well done on posting on the correct thread, however.

Why does it need to go up the chain of command? The obvious slur has since been repeated in another post which has also not been removed.

G-Unit obviously feels it is not abusive to call McCann supporters "plebs".

For me, it's not so much about the word "plebs", rather the content of the post as a whole. There is no reason for it not to have been deleted and then referred to a higher authority imo.

Is there an accepted meaning of the word?
