And none of this has any bearing on his capabilities as a mod because it doesn't have anything to do with with what he does in that role (which like I mentioned before, we don't see).
It does just seem that there are a few people who don't like Dezzy's personality and that's what this boils down too, but because he's a mod it's easy to attack him by calling it a complaint about his moderating abilities, but it's flawed because whatever assumptions are being drawn, noone actually sees what he does as a mod... except the other mods who clearly don't feel like he isn't doing the job correctly - does that not stand for something too? I think it's actually quite cruel to attack someone in this way, someone who invests their personal time with no benefit to them in order to maintain the site we all use and keep it running, and to log on and have to read something like this.

He wouldn't do it if he didn't get something out of it. If you share similar opinions you aren't likely to be on the receiving end of it, but for those that are because they have differing opinions they have a better understanding of the situation. You have to have been there and all that.

Just because I haven't personally had disagreements with Dezzy, it doesn't invalidate anything I was saying in that post, or mean that the only opinions that matter on the subject are the ones that are anti-Dezzy.

Have you reported the posts where you feel he was baiting? If so and nothing was done then wouldn't it actually be the case that it's either the other mods who weren't doing their job correctly, or Dezzy wasn't in fact baiting.

Maybe the way forward and so there is no conflict of interest if a mod is heavily involved in a discussion, another mod needs to moderate the thread, I think this might have been suggested earlier but it seems a way around the issue

I don't what that situation or post was about but for the most part it's clear that posts he disagrees with don't get deleted... a lot of SD wouldn't exist otherwise I think as long as everything is visible to the other mods (so the stuff we don't see like deleted posts etc) then doesn't that take away the need for that suggestion? Because everything can be checked and people can report if they feel there's been foul play. It's not that it's a bad suggestion, I just don't know if there's always enough mods online to ensure it would always happen.

Excuse me but when Dezzy keeps calling me another name in his posts in an attempt to bait me there is no confusion. With respect you don't know what you are talking about.

Did you report those posts?

Not via the report button, but I did using contact details. I have asked him not to do this , but he continues to do so if we are in disagreement about something. If that isn't baiting I don't know what is.

You mean you sent a message via contact us? only myself, James and Vicky receive those emails I cant recall seeing that, why wouldn't you use the report button if it was something that was happening a lot and also I don't think this has actually happened for a while though you say continues to do so?

I was told by another member that the best way to do this was via the report button which I planned to do but it hasn't happened since I was banned a week or so ago due to a similar incident. I just want to know it isn't going to happen again as it is provocative.

What I'm talking about? I asked you a question that you didn't answer, and it's relevant to this post about him calling you names too ^
