Yeah, blame the mods for everything, as per usual

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

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!

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

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
