I have had long, detailed posts removed which were 99% relevant to the thread topic but transgressed on 1%, and I have had posts removed which left those I was debating with with the 'last word', and it's not a satisfying feeling when this happens, but hey, that's life. Best to move on and all learn from this.

That's a pretty honest post Kirk

Thank you Niamh - I do try to be fair, and I do know how hard it is for you mods to have to put up with us 'opinionated' warring factions and mete out 'justice' as fairly as you can when we go too far. I - honestly - wouldn't like to have to make those decisions, kind of 'damned by some if you do, and damned by others if you don't.'

It is genuinely not much fun after a while. Me and my wife owned and ran a forum (a parenting forum) of a similar size to TiBB for 3 years and eventually just gave it up, because it had simply become a chore and not enjoyable, and it was very low on active moderation and one completely unmoderated heated debates subforum. We trusted people to sort things out for themselves in time. With mixed results, to be fair, but it mostly worked quite well. Mostly.... lol.

I miss the "tech" side of running a forum, I really enjoyed messing around with the code and inventing my own stupid BBcodes and add-ons, but I do not miss the moderation side at all. The staff-only subforum got really bitchy at times... I wonder what's said about all of us in the tibby staff forum?

At least if we're being discussed Kyle we're not being ignored.
