Is one IMO in a post not enough to express that it is?

Of course it isn't.  Each idea is either opinion or fact.  A sentence could be partially opinion and part fact.  Each part has to be made clear.  The use of "...." is not defined as far as I know. 

[Robittybob1]

your post is opinion.....add IMO ...in future

It is the opinion of one of the moderators of this forum.

Is every poster's posts subject to such scrutiny?

I don't see this forum dying.  Look at that thread on Mark Saunokonoko and its nearly 300 pages long. Threads that long become a big task for the moderators to read all that writing and assessing each post.  You might think you are vital  but I don't think that is the case really.

The fact is you don't like being moderated.

That is not a fact...its your opinion.......and you should either edit your post or remove it.

I wont post again unless john assures me moderation is fair and your harrassment will stop...i will pm John now

You go back, and recall I said to Davel I nearly deleted the offending post.  In other words it got through, but only just.  I am fair and I do look at every post but really long posts bore me and probably get the tick of approval.  I am only going to get one life, and there are pages and pages of posts to assess every day.

It is my opinion that Davel is vital to the forum, as are many posters but not including myself and it is my opinion and at the risk of being given warning points that you do over moderate him !

Moderation is fair.  I have read posts where Angelo has told you to stop and you outright disagreed with him.  That is why I stand by saying you don't like moderation.

I can understand that you don't have time to moderate all posts but there are posts which IMO do not adhere to forum rules which manage to bypass any moderation.

You have to learn to speed read.  And anything debatable passes in my book.

Who does?

If you note any just reply to the offending post  with a comment like ""that was opinion not fact".

I often read posts that complain: "that was opinion not fact"  so the forum has a degree of self moderation.  It sorts itself out largely.

[Robittybob1]

Who does?

Davel  did.  IIRC.  That post was a direct reply to Davel.
