2 threads on this board have now been locked by admin, both on the same topic.
From what I can see there was nothing in the second thread that broke the house rules yet the thread has still been locked. I did start the second thread and there is a comment in that thread that is directed at me by admin. However I can no longer reply.
So what is the score?
If we do have board rules then how about some consistency? Because I for one are at a loss to understand what is going on.

Can I just add, it was a serious thread but wasn't even allowed to develop before the plug was again pulled. I'm talking about the second thread just to be clear.

I am going to take this as a positive that we can now expect in future than any offensive or aggressive posts will now be removed.

Why I get home I’ll message you with an invite to become a moderator well see how you handle things and have to explain your actions when you think you’ve done the best even though you are at work and don’t get paid for it or have time

As you say it is a voluntary role. There is also an onus on all board members to police this site and therefore support the moderators in their role.

The offer isn’t a spur of the moment thing
I removed 3 mods at the weekend who haven’t logged in at all this year
( that doesn’t include Duncan btw who is having a bad time to say the least )
I’m looking to replace them with members who might be useful
Already invited one last couple of days, who I don’t even know
Might not have time But I still try my best for the board
As I said I’ll invite you later If you’re up to it is up to you

Please all I ask for is for posters to respect other posters and their points of view. Perhaps sometimes (and I include myself in this) we need to think before pressing the send button.

I wander who the person was that felt it was a witch hunt?.................if you cant take it then dont dish it out Absolutely nothing to do with me. I don’t believe in snitching to moderators like a school yard sissy - I’ll leave that one to you. P.S. It’s ‘wonder’ - you don’t ‘wander’ anywhere... other than timidly down the steps at Glanford Park, of course.

You are known to complain to moderators when the going gets tough Geoffrey don’t try and kid anyone. However I do expect Moderators to be more pro active in clamping down on your thoughtless comments about fellow fans

It’s ‘wonder’ - you don’t ‘wander’ anywhere... other than timidly down the steps at Glanford Park, of course. As posted on the other thread, the above post is very consistent with style of posting from KL8 that receives a good little laugh and is classed as one of the posters of the year by individuals. To be frank they are genuinely belittling of certain others, and a shade of keyboard warrior style. Yes the board has very little of interest that does not decende in to p**sing contest. and we have bigger crowds etc, but whilst the admins are voluntary, they certainly contribute on threads and nowt happens to KL8 to name just one, maybe not fair, but he is very consistent in his cyber bullying to any person who has the cheek and audacity to not agree with his view point. i reckon it falls into the Threatening Behaviour - No threatening behaviour is to be contained in the subject or body of any posting. Any communication that is intended to harass, belittle, humiliate, threaten or cause embarrassment to others is strictly prohibited. If you think that posting that you’re going to get someone, or tell them to watch your back, your wrong… that’s a big no no! as pointed out by Stutty earlier.

But are those rules desirable Downie? I like the rough and tumble of B&A where there is no such thing as a "respected Poster" - and long may it be the case. I don't mind if people take a pop at me. You mention the rules - Any communication that is intended to harass, belittle, humiliate, threaten or cause embarrassment to others is strictly prohibited.I would say that only the harass (sending abusive PMs etc.) and threatening (especially violence) are things that deserve a ban. Belittling, humiliating and causing embarrassment - well they are all part of the fun of B&A ain't they?

Some laugh it off, some commit suicide.... who knows eh!! I think sometimes its a bit much and not called for TBH... all about opinions... Bit like the not allowed to go above 70mph on the motorway....may be a rule i don't like or agree with, but i have to abide by it or face the consequences.

Fair point. I don't think we need to worry about the sensitivities of KL8 and MortgageHound though. They clearly both adore it and will probably end up as lovers one day

No worries.....

If we’re clamping down on implied threats of physical violence, then Mortgagehound should be the first to be shown the door. It was only a few weeks ago that he essentially offered me out on a thread about the iconic (and now revitalised!) terrace anthem of ‘Come On You Blues’.
I didn’t even bother reporting this outburst, although I did receive a few private messages from concerned well wishers.
There is no place for thuggery on B&A, especially if we’re now enforcing chapter and verse of the Forum Rulebook.

Seems 'Pilch' is desperate to cling on to the little influence he has on these boards.
Since he apparently has "got a girlfriend" he seems to spend less and less times of these boards, claiming he can't be bothered to keep interfering in peoples petty squabbles.
But of course rather than doing the honourable thing and allieviating himself from his petty duties, it allows him the ever-so-often attention he craves and the power to ban people/block threads that dare to go against him or the 'old pale and male' brotherhood that he belongs to.
Sad. Very sad.

Why not just give up your moderating duties and be done with it? You claim you can't be bothered with the hassle it brings and your style (if you can call it that) is not one that is particularly popular with people on here.
Seems the logical thing to do if it were me.
