You're not one of the culprits, don't worry

Of course, but there's no doubt in my mind that some, not all, are a bit unfair and biased. But I understand that it's a difficult job, just some, as Stu said, take things a bit too seriously.

I am only human. I have favorite mods and a least fav mod.

Maybe some don't take it seriously enough!

There's no reason for some of them to take it so seriously, though. It's a forum.

- Trolls? Unprovoked, direct and harsh insults?

Moderate them, by all means.

- Arguments? Dark humour?

Don't need to be moderated.

I love your constant attempts to dismiss your comments as 'dark humour'! 10/10 for effort!

Clearly many find them distasteful! Surely you are free to engage in such humour with likeminded people via U2U - why should the rest of us be subjected to them!

Arguments too can quickly get out of control with some members - sometimes intervention is required! In the end - that is for the admin to determine - not the members!

LOL, do you honestly believe they're anything else?

You know, just because you, and some others, may not find jokes like those (which fall under the category of 'dark humour') funny, it doesn't mean that we shouldn't be allowed to post them freely. I don't find 'why did the chicken cross the road?' jokes funny. So on the same line of reasoning, I take it if someone were to tell ones of those jokes, it would be deleted, right?

Yeah, they can get out of control. But what you need to remember is that it's a forum. People are going to argue. That is the sole purpose of a forum. Closing threads because arguments are occuring is just silly, and annoying for those who are in the middle of one.

People don't find 'Did the chicken cross the road' jokes offensive Jack,that's the difference. And this forum would be absolute chaos if we didn't moderate arguments,people are put off by arguments,it makes the forum all hostile.

Well you could continue via PM. Truth is, most forum arguments are for show. And silly. And pointless. When they just drag on and on they get tired very fast. They also hijack the topic.

Arguments between 2 intelligent minds can certainly be entertaining. But most on here are toddler school bickering. IMHO.

I don't believe that you approve of what he did, of course - but nevertheless such jokes are in poor taste and offensive to many people! Stupid chicken jokes, whilst not funny, are not offensive - there is a difference!

As for the arguments thing - clearly the admin don't agree with your views - and they are, after all, the ones running the forum! It is their decision to make - taking into account the likely views of the majority! They close threads to prevent things getting out of hand - the sole purpose is for debate - not slanging matches and gang mentality, as can sometimes happen!
