There is something closer to home - the forum rules.

"* Posters are asked to keep to thread topics where possible
* Libellous or defamatory material will be removed on sight
* Abuse will not be tolerated. Break the rules expect a ban
The General has frequently referred to Brückner as a borderline imbecile, his posts were not removed so...

Look, if I have broken the rules by calling Brückner an imbecile then do what you need to do.  Personally I don’t think he is an imbecile, I think he’s cunning, shrewd and very dangerous.

I don't know how to handle it either.  Saying "cunning, shrewd and very dangerous" is OK is it?  At least this time it is clearly an informed opinion.

Im not intending to post much but at this point its pertinent to point out why. It seems John has issued an edict to cull even more posts and apply the rules more strictly. That would be fine if the rules were made clear and everyone understood them. Its clear thats not the case with Rob showing he isnt clear what libel is and I dont think anyone else here is either...so how can that rule be enforced.

There was a time when a lot more was allowed. Then the forum had lots of posters with lots of debates. As posters have been more closely moderated the forum has shrunk with the result its only a handful taking part and I think it will get worse.

About a year ago I wondered what would happen if I really tried to avoid confrontation and I asked John to have a word with ceratin mods to ask them to stop targeting me. It worked well generally but occasionally things slipped...not on my behalf.

last week I was given 50 points...totaly unfairly imo. I absolutely never called Sadie a liar...Sadie's claim was untrue. ...but perhaps tahts was what was reported to Admin. Now it seems mods have been told to crack down even more.

I think the forum is being suffocated. I wont post anything of consequence now until something of interest happens

Good post.  It's very clear that the Mods can't agree amongst themselves what constitutes a libel as the last few days show.  loads of posts were removed about the subject of Tasmin Sillence's father but the original libellous post which kicked off the whole "debate" which describes him as "a hustler out to make a buck" was still on the forum the last time I looked which was last night.  Having already drawn it to G-Unit and John's attention you would have thought such obvious libel would be instantly identified as such and removed.  Personally I would prefer it if we could say whatever we wanted but all the while the rules are only being applied on an ad hoc basis (usually partisan Mods turning a blind eye when their allies make a rule-breaking post) it makes the forum a frustrating place to post sometimes.

I have no record of being contacted by anyone in connection with this issue.
Read and abide by the forum rules.
Result = happy posting.
Ignore and break the rules
Result = edits, deletions and unhappiness

I asked you about it twice on the thread itself -  you will of course claim you never read my comments addressed to you, despite the fact that you were online at the time and commented on the same thread shortly after my comment addressed to yourself.

You are showing gross disrespect for your moderators if you continue on that line.

You could always have VS banned... If you did... Now I'm gone that would be the end of the forum I think it's about time moderators started having some respect for posters

I thought we were until we were told by John we are not being tough enough.  Just following orders.

I think it's a mistake by John.. I think your actions and lack of respect for posters will finish the forum off
