Maybe because some of the new power-mad mods are infracting an increasing amount of members away from the forum! :rolleyes: Place has become very boring! :sleep:

Because UBB is ****, and the site is slowly dying. I haven't been posting much because it's become boring, and when Big brother is dead it only gonna get worse, sadly.

I know I have been avoiding it because it had got so agressive and some of the comments are too much. Glad its quietened down again.

Yip.. I agree. Plus the inconsistency is off-putting. Them over at TiBB towers need to agree what is acceptable and non acceptable and stick to it.

Yeah, blame the mods for everything, as per usual :D
If there was truth in the above statement, then surely the one below is a lie?

The reason mods have been handing out more infractions is because posters have decided to start completely ignoring the rules. Many posts are aggressive and yes, I agree, some comments ARE too much.
Interesting to see that the people moaning about the mods, are people who have previously been given infractions...whilst the person who is seeing the bigger picture, and noticed that the posters have got worse, does not have any infractions. Wonder why that is :whistle:

Is that me you are being nice about? I dont even know what an infraction is! They are a bit like UFO's, people talk about them but I have never seen the evidence! :D

Haha yeah.
Just seems that people who stick to the rules, such as yourself...see that it is infact the posters/threads that have become more aggressive etc.
Whilst those that HAVE had infractions...blame it all on the mods being too strict ;)

To be honest Vicky, I'm not complaining about my own infractions; the first two were WELL deserved, the 3rd I'm slightly dubious about but hey ho.. Nor am I saying the mods are too strict, they just seem inconsistent at times... A lot of people get away with the same things others are infracted/banned for.
I'm not having a go at you personally by the way, there just seems to be one set of rules for some and another set for others..

how do you know whether other people get away things or not though, they don't know if you've been infracted and vice versa

I know you werent saying it, but others were :p
As for the inconsistency...again I will point out that noone knows when other people are punished. And with the infraction system the way it is, it appears some people get away with a lot more when thats not the case at all. Some people are just more vocal when they receive infractions, which makes people believe that the people who go on about them are the only people who get them :)

Yeah, ok, I understand what you're saying about the infractions but I mean inconsistencies with other things too, like threads being closed or posts being deleted..
It sometimes looks like good old fashioned, heated debate is a thing of the past but complete non-sensical topics are given the thumbs up, then the next day there will be threads being closed for having no point whilst elsewhere on the forum there is the most mind numbing, pointless threads being ignored and/or encouraged.. Just sometimes seems to be a mish mash of rules you know?
I really am not trying to get into an argument over it and I don't think I am the only one who thinks it either :)
Vicky.
09-09-2010, 04:39 PM
Hmm point taken I guess.
But there is a massive difference between a 'heated debate' and an argument. We dont actually get many 'debates' on here, as people cant resist resorting to name calling and insults and trying to totally rubbish the other persons opinion.
Some pointless threads are left in chat and games, because it is basically, a spam forum. Since posts in there dont count. Though totally pointless posts, that could easily have been PMed (simonsays and jessicas 'I bought ***** today' for example) do get closed. Whilst posts in the BB section that have no point to them, are always closed(if we seem them)

Oh dear lord. 'Connections'?
Yeah, here we go again. I challenge you to ask any other mod (who can see all infractions that have been given, and by who) to check out every one of my 'mates' and find one who has not received an infraction/ban from me. Seriously, this really gets on my nerves.
Currently the one person that I get on with most on this site, is on a 7 day ban, given by me. So yeah, cry bias all you want, I'm used to it. Just know that its total bollocks :)
