Moderation queries.

[Eleanor]

I think that at all times Members need to remember that this is not a Democracy.  Only John decides in the end.

We, The Moderators do our best, which might be biased to some small degree, although not a lot on my part.  In fact if anything, I err in favour of people who are opposed to my opinion.  Not that I expect anyone to believe that.  Please your blimmin selves.

I have only ever been concerned with Abusive and Libellous Comments, and you all know when you are doing this.  You think I am stupid?  So don't do it.  And certainly don't fane outrage when you get dealt with.

When was G-Unit made a moderator and why was there no announcement?

This is nothing to do with you.  John decides.  This is not up for discussion.

[Billy Whizz Fan Club]

Precisely.  John revues all deletions and reinstates where he thinks it is necessary.  Unfortunately, John is not able to be here all of the time.

What about posts that are modified by an admin. This has happened to me and it makes no sense. I was not libellous but had offered a scenario that could explain certain given facts. I don't even believe it happened that way myself but offered a scenario up for discussion. I have four warnings all close together and only understand the reason for one. I later added the line about the scenario that the mod had deleted - well I repeated the scenario and asked why it was deleted. I didn't know this wasn't allowed. I think such moderation is wide open to personal bias and there needs to be some review or appeal process by other mods should a user feel they are being unfairly treated.

Members can pm John or Admin and ask for moderator actions to be reviewed.

John decides in the end and reinstates if he thinks it is unfair.  And criticising Admin won't help.

Do you not understand this?

G-Unit a moderator ?


But why wasn't it announced per the normal ?

[Mr Gray]

Please stop accusing me of posting disinformation unless you are prepared to offer evidence upholding your accusations.

I certainly have no problem with gunit being a moderator...there is a feeling from sceptics that moderation has become one sided and this has now been addressed.

I hope no-one has a problem because I don't see myself as representing any group over another. My aim is to moderate all members if they break the forum rules regardless of their stance on any subject.

May your moderating be a long, fair and stress free one.  Good luck Gunit

As was intended.

It won't be stress free.  I can promise you that.

Are you only catching up now Sadie?

[Angelo222]

I thrive on stress. 

[Eleanor]

I thrive on stress. 

I have learned how to.  And it certainly does have it's moments.
