I made my point and you keep going on about it taking sarcy little shots at me. Cyber bullying can take many forms, and whilst I am not suggesting the person who made the comment is cyber bullying in any way whatsoever, I am making the point that someone could read that who has similiar issues and take it personally, and it could upset them.

With children on here, that is a very dangerous road to go down.

End of point.

You're the one who wants to change the rules though, so you're telling me you'd rather have a go at me and tell lies about us mods then actually try and change something you feel so passionately about? fair enough.

My point is that there are different standards for 'staff members' and registered users. They both should have been told.

Moderators are the authoritarians of this site, can you imagine if you were at school and the head of year poked his head into the technology lab and said 'did you see that big nosed woman on i'm a celeb last night?'

No is the answer you're looking for

Oh there's different standards is there? Please give me some evidence of this, oh wait you can't because you're just making wild (and wrong) guesses and presenting them as fact like EVERYONE that has ever accused us of bias in the past. You're just looking for reasons to paint us as the bad guys.

We get a load of **** if we make mistakes, just because we don't personally inform you of every coming and going of this website doesn't mean that the mods don't face consequences for their actions.

How on earth am I having a go at you? How on earth am I telling lies? I have pointed out why I think that comment is out of order and that a person who is in authority on here should not be making comments like that. Thats all i've done. You are the one who has taken it personally and decided to challenge me for god knows how long.

I am changing something, I am raising these points, and will continue to do so no matter how much stick I get and no matter how much people ignore me. Because I am a grown man, and don't give a monkeys chuff.

If I was 13 years old and read that or many comments on here like that it WOULD have upset me and made me feel like ****.

Saying these comments are allowed because its aimed at celebrities is a cop out.

Look at the bigger picture and stop digging at me.

Verbal, if it's the children you're worried about, you should change your sig.

I am saying that there should be different standards for moderators and registered users, as I assume that the majority of, if not all of the moderators are of adult age. They all should keep in mind things that could potentially upset vulnerable people, namely in this case, children.

I am not in a position of authority, its been allowed, its not attacking anybody. I am not having a go at any body issues that any body might have. It is merely a foul mouthed parody. Not even on the same level.

Next...

If someone is offended by something, they can report it and we'll judge whether or not it's against the rules. It's not our job to be online parents, we are mods, nothing more, nothing less.

13 year olds are allowed on here, i'm afraid it is.

[Verbal]

Also being offended by and emotionally upset by something are two very different things.

No, it's down to their parents or guardians to monitor their online use and judge whether or not Tibb is suitable for them. If you do have any issues with the way we run things you could try to do something about it and contact the admin with any suggestions or enquiries you may have.

[Verbal]

They are not even on the same level, you've got to laugh. Also I am not a moderator. My point was a moderator should not be making these kind of posts.

Its also funny that not one of you have made a complaint about my avatar, which blatantly has a swear word right across it.

Petty point scoring over a genuine and serious issue that I have pointed out. But hey its against a mod, so all gang up to defend it.

I've never seen so many mods in the same place before

[Tom4784]

Again, if you have any REAL issues you can always discuss it with an admin

Well clearly, there are children whose parents don't or are unable to monitor their children's online activity. Children these days can and will run rings around their parents with technology. You as mods, as people who have more than a slight grasp of these things, have a moral responsibility to not let these things grow.

When such comments are made the people who make them should be lambasted publicly for it, by a moderator explaining exactly why. So that an example can be set for the younger members. I myself have calmly and effectively put a few children on here in their place for making comments that they should not be making. That really should be your job.

Kids who have the free run of the World Wide Web can access hardcore, violent pornography.. And you're worried about then reading some comment about a big nose?? Come on!!

This whole forum is covered in eggshells! No matter what is discussed, there's always somebody with a complaint!

We take your grievances seriously, please contact an admin if you have any legitimate issues with the mods.
