I do agree that one or two are very biased - allowing their likes/dislikes of people to affect their judgement!

Anybody in the BH should not be a mod. Cliques totally destroy the dynamics of a forum.

See, another reason why we need more mods. None were on to moderate that ridiculous single mums thread. An admin had to come online to ban the member and delete all the corresponding posts.

I think it's difficult to be a mod and be completely unbiased tbf. Theyre only human. Obviously theyll be more sympathetic to those they like.

Personally, I don't need to see more discipline. If you don't like a thread or what some member is posting then..jog on. Nobodies forced to read or tolerate anything. It's just a forum ffs.

People like cupid stunt exist in real life. I don't understand why people want to live in some sanitised bubble on the internet.

I wasn't saying that, It's just my own input. Not a reply to anyone else.

Just because a member is part of a particular group doesn't mean they aren't sensible enough to know the difference between their friends acting like idiots and having a laugh. Chances are if a member has loads of friends on here, they're gonna be on here more often, and be drawn to more threads than someone who floats.

Disagree with that - electing members with lots of friends is part of the problem sometimes - they can't remain neutral enough - and are more likely to take the 'side' of their friends in an argument - even if they don't realize they are doing it. I have seen it happen many times!

I was on the forum there but I didn't look at that thread until I saw the reported post. I think we will maybe get a new mod or two before Big Brother, but we haven't discussed it much.

Novo · 23-05-2010, 05:56 PM

Lock this silly thread James

But look at the alternative we have now - members who are either total pushovers or never online. Having friends keeps members active and involved in the forum and as I already said, just because a person is friendly with a particular group doesnt mean they're blinded by friendship and cant see if they're mates are in the wrong. Obviously there are some cases, like the younger members that would, but there are a lot of mature members, in groups of friends that would make good mods. Just not BH members because when your part of such a publicly defined clique, its hard to go against your mates.

That's the thing though. There is absolutely NO discipline for some of us. Stacey gets banned for a fairly tame comment, while if it was someone else that had made that comment, they would get away with it. A mod can't pick and choose who and when they moderate. If they can't do the job, give it to someone who is better suited.

Isn't Kaz an admin?

Either way, she's barely ever online, but when she is, she's good.

Ah fair enough. Isn't it better if mods remained visible?

I dunno, I suppose they get reports and see the forum just fine either way.

Zippy · 23-05-2010, 06:08 PM

Considering what their job entails I don't think any mod should be invisible. What next, invisible police officers?

Thankfully I've only come across one or two of these. I agree they're nauseating.

That thread made my sunday. I don't see anything wrong with stuff like that, moronic as it was.

It's all showbiz, darling.
