Twice recently I've pleaded for assistance with separate threads and there's never anyone around. As far as I'm aware there are only two active mods plus James. Josy is rarely to be seen. Niamh and Matt can't man the forum consistently 247 between them.

Never said it was. Just said it's my opinion they are woefully understaffed. It's quite valid that there's nobody around when stuff gets reported and things wouldn't escalate the way they do.

That doesn't mean there's not a need for new mods though, we are definitely going to have to have some when BB starts I believe at least. And also, other people read what's being said about me even I were to use ignore and I don't want that . Nobody likes being badmouthed?

Unless the site goes back to the size it was, say 7 or 8 years ago, it won't be getting or needing new mods.

Annie and Ness are the only ones that haven't been in drama with folks. Annie is around infrequently and I doubt ness would even want to deal with pissed off people all the time.

No new mods were added a couple of years ago before the previous exodus, and it was still just the 2 doing it then.

Nimah has to be congratulated for the **** she has to deal with but I agree with Slim, unless there’s a massive influx of new members in the next few weeks, it’s not needed. People have lives and can’t be on 24/7.

Whilst I’m grateful that you think I’d be a good mod, I’m barely on here and it’s should be someone who is more active (Josy is probably more active on here than I am :laugh:).

AnnieK would be a good mod I think but at the same time I understand why she wouldn’t want to be a mod (having to put up with the drama etc.) because it’s something I wouldn’t want to do either.

I agree that Patrick could play his part in our conflict, I suppose just looking back on it I think we both were really immature and took each other too seriously, when at the time we both maybe should've laughed each other off.

Kate, I'm not getting involved with what's going on between you and Glenn, but I will say that today is all your fault. There was no need to bring him into that thread, quoting my jokey post aimed at man u, to then turn it back on Glenn.

I don't think it's fair to do that, then run to mods to get threads and posts constantly deleted, so maybe they are around, but just don't think that just because one of us is unhappy with the way a thread has gone, that it's even worthy of deletion. You have your own agency not to have started that today.

I get your frustration, but maybe not deleting it might make you think twice next time?

However, he's constantly at me, I just truly don't get what he gets from this forum. All he does is harass and get kicks out of upsetting people.

I think sometimes this Forum is suffering the same issues that society in general is suffering from, and that's intolerance of handling people that you don't like.

I don't just mean you Kate or Glenn, I think in general there are a lot of people nowadays that are being taught to see people who are different to yourself as the enemy, which I personally don't see as a healthy attitude for people to have.

Don't get me wrong I'm not immune to the Media trend of isolating people, I'm sure that I have probably not got on with people due to seeing their views as something monstrous, but preferably I think we have to ignore the "us & them" mentality and learn to respect each other's opinions more regularly again.

Because I do think that you and Glenn for example were on better terms before the Trans debate really started to rev up on the Forum?
