Moderator Simon is going wild again.
Falsely accusing others about "going Wild" in the Brexit tread, but read his own remarks and language use.
Threatening with Warnings and Ban again, for what? Making a polite remark "I am surprised"
Somebody please explain this guy the basics about a moderator status:
-a referee doesn't touch the ball
-a referee stays neutral in the differences between camps
-when the referee clearly isn't neutral, the remark "you are not neutral" doesn't lead to a ban of the guy that made the remark.
-a referee that clearly isn't neutral, and threatens to make abuse of his powers, has to get thrown out.
-when the referee wants to play football, he first ends his status and joins a team.

To put this into context I could have banned you months ago for racist posts. I should have done just that! I gave you a chance and you start again. I am not throwing my weight around, we are all enthusiastically debating. My posts hold no more weight that anyone elses and as i said in my "heavy post" you can say what you like about me but be careful, this in reference to your racist posts in the past.
So new policy as a moderator: you cross the line just once and your out! That way I get less greif from trouble makers!

Said to a user that does nothing but stir up trouble particularly in contentious threads, again thank you for making my life easier, in future, you make trouble you are banned because giving people a chance is just endorsing their behaviour. We would have had a lot less trouble from another user had it not been for the user I was replying to.
tautech:
So one wonders if there will be any future moderate moderation?
That members can't/won't be advised their posts have stepped over some invisible line is a little disturbing. :scared:
Simon:
Well it's up to you. I can delete posts, warn members but if that means that dealing with those members in the future means that they make accusations then you tell me what should I do. I could have easily banned members for overstepping the mark but had not despite it being so bad it should have been clear to them what they were doing and that it was not acceptable. I have infact been generous enough to consider that maybe someone was under the influence while posting and waited to see if they continued on the trend.
If one member constantly taunts another member why should I/Dave allow him to stay ? i will not mention names I am sure we know who I mean, just mentioning his damn name can cause problems. Had i banned one member another member would not have been driven to the point that he started to threaten the existence of this forum (sorry details not available - it's history but not forgotten).
the idea of the moderation was to be a soft touch, not to curtail discussion and expression of opinions and to allow people to say what they want without offending others, but a lot of people have ignored this or played the fine line. We can do this either way. Trying to be fair all round is a lot more work than just banning someone the moment they overstep the mark badly or are found to be trying to pervert the smooth running of the forum over a period of time is easier, but it's not what we wanted to do. So apparently I need to keep a log now of what people say in order to protect myself later, unfortunately the moderator functions do not allow for much self organization and to catalog a users behaviour, although I admit I've not explored it much.
