OK, so, we've lost a moderator...

Post by weeksy »

Right all...

Due to a board warning being issued and the associated moderator being told to "fuck off" we've lost one of our Mods.

Lets say here and now, if you have a problem with anything a moderator does or says then come to me.... DO NOT send them a shitty reply. Not now, not ever, not at all.

I'm not going to discuss which mod or which user, so don't bother asking me...

However, it will not be happening again and will result in an Instant Ban...

You've been warned.

Just do the banning retroactively. No-one who volunteers for a thankless task needs that shit.

I've had disagreements with you and the mods, but I've always tried to keep it reasonably civil.

Sorry to hear that. I recall the task only too well from Visord*wn days.

If a moderator clears off when told to "fuck off" then their skin is much too thin.

Just saying.

You mean the moderators who've put up with shit for the last year? Cleaning, tidying, sorting, warning, reading etc

Say what you want, no problem.

If the moderator has done nothing to deserve or encourage the abuse then the abuser should be banned.

If on the other hand the moderator has abused the privilege of their position then they should be banned.

Very black and white, you must be a fucking bundle of fun at Xmas parties... Anyway... lets move on hey.

No-one has been banned, no-one is getting banned, i'm simply making the point, don't be wankers to the Mods..

Ooh you bitch, no took it the dodgy back street dealer for an MOT because the normal place couldn't fit it in, they then proceeded to give it the most stringent MOT I've had in years, even though I knew someone who worked there, I didn't know he worked there until today.

Sometimes the dodgy backstreet testers are the ones who know they're being watched by "the man" so they take no chances.
