the same old people coming on the board and most threads now decending into personal abuse, I am now bored of it, its the same culprits and temp bans from the board is IMHO the only way to control this. Really is becoming tiresome!! Just look at the Simmo on Sky and Stone throwing idiots for examples!!!!!

They obviously see no reason to react
So why should they
Somebody actually posted a dirty link on this about 2 months ago and he did't even get banned temperarily
So te answer is probs no

I don't take any notice personally, as long as anyone is registered. If they aren't registered, I don't take any notice.

Aye Crippen talks about "intelect" but then doesn't seem to have the good sense to keep it zipped

Disagree about Dr.Crippen, his posts are quite humorous. Certainly liven up the place.

Really is becoming tiresome!! Just look at the Simmo on Sky and Stone throwing idiots for examples!!!!! only 2 people who can ban people Paul, Ant & pilch, the rest of us mods can just remove/alter posts, it gets very tempting to alter posts all the time trust me & there are a few posters I would rather not see on here anymore, its get tiresome at times having to read through all the drivel.

Banning is based on IP address - I think Pilch has done this on occasion over the years. The drivel is tiresome to wade through.

Is it true that if you manage to secure -100 karma in one season, you get entered into the 'Win-A-Meal-At-The-Spaghetti-Bar-With-Ashikodi' raffle?

i dont think it is always that easy for people to tell what abuse is.
for example
"you are an idiot" is abuse
"you sound like a bit of an idiot because...." isnt
but that is just my opinion, some people may disagree and we have a fair few mods who will have different opinions.
i think the idea of the mods trying to determin what they consider as abuse may be a good idea but not all will be able to meet up as they live in different parts of the world.
could they look at what other boards do?

Personally I think people take this board too seriously. Some of the posters I have met in person from on here aren't always like their on-line persona, which I find a bit weird if I'm honest. As for Mods changing or deleting posts. Absolutely not in my opinion unless an official complaint has been made. I don't want to go back to a couple of months ago when posts were changed just because a Mod disagreed with it, disgraceful. This is just my opinion of course and we all know what personal opinions are worth on here

Cant see how the mods can act when the rules appear so vague and open to subjective interpretation, as in a couple of months ago when someone posted (on a heavenly thread) something that to me, was overtly racist and offensive, and yet ant didnt see a problem, for a few hours later, another (and wiser imo ) mod moved / deleted it. Thats not meant to be havin a pop at ant, just to illustrate the difficulties involved. Maybe, in fairness, there are too many mods? all with different opinions and standards. If there where only a hand full, maybe it would be easier to see / understand what the standard is, and know what is acceptable and what isnt. Once that is clear to everyone, then if people break the rules repeatadly, then ban em.

Windy this isn't the army now or the police force, I know you'd like some of us investigated by mi5 and court marshalled by it's not happening You'll have to continue sniping and put up with it We are just the same as you and all the other b&a users Would you be happier if nothing got Moderated ? Or should we have another 50 mods ? maybe we should charge members and send all mods on courses on how to act and deal with situations It's not going to happen We do out best and that's all we can do

Some of the posters I have met in person from on here aren't always like their on-line persona, which I find a bit weird if I'm honest. Some of the more irritating/obnoxious posters have been excused by people saying 'they're nice guys when you meet them'. It's more likely that they are really like their on-line personas, where they can let their true characters show from behind the supposed safety of a keyboard. What you get in person is a facade.
