I try to be an impartial on this forum as possible, mainly because at the end of the day...its a Big Brother Forum and I have enough **** in my real life without having to deal with beef on here. However, from the last couple of days my observations are:

1 - There is a definite pack mentality from all sides. The other day in the Anti-Semitic thread when it kicked off, it was reported in the chat threads as kicking off and then a mass influx of people came into the thread which inflamed it further leading to the bans. Nothing wrong with that in my opinion, in real life people stick up for their friends but the problem comes when it is obviously happening and then people only see it from the other side.

2. People take a real bashing on here - just recently Brillo has had numerous character assassinations and now Dezzy is getting it. A lot of the people who are here supporting Dezzy saying it shouldn't be happening (and I agree it shouldn't on a public forum) are people who either took part or watch in amusement at the Brillo bashing.

I don't know what people get out of it - borne from frustration maybe but there needs to be a line drawn as the toxicity is getting worse on here and it used to be such a great forum.

no offense but i also see Dezzy use a couple of swear words and i also wonder if mods could be infracted

[Josy]

Rob tbf here I think its the fact that you are posting along the lines of theres no problem here, its only certain members that are moaning etc when the fact is there is some very real problems on this forum right now.

Sorry if ive took youre comments the wrong way its quite difficult to keep track of everything atm but from the posts ive seen thats what I got from them.

Totally agree with this ^^ the way Brillo is abused on here ( Livia too ) is disgusting and its always the same people who now are crying into their coffee because their friend is getting spoken about for not doing his job in the manner it should be done ,Good old members have been driven off this forum because of the actions of a few,and if this place is going to attract nice people who feel free to chat without getting abused something has to change, and it starts at the top

[Ammi]

...following from Josy...it wasn’t meant to be ‘is there a problem or issues’ because there obviously is...perspectives of those might be different but they’re genuinely felt...it’s more is there a solution in changes that would be acceptable to most...staff included as it can’t be denied that to staff the forum atm is fairly thankless and worthless in task...

Dezzy is gorgeous leave him alone!

Hey, I mean I've stated what my problems are earlier in the thread and I think and hope I took the time to do so in a measured, calm and considered way. Whether any of those problems are addressed in the future is a matter for you guys.
That isn't what is happening in here now some of the banned members are back. That to me speaks volumes.

This is the REAL problem that needs addressed on this is big brother dot com!

So you don't think the members giving a small ban for speaking out should have a voice ? You think we should put up and shut up ? THIS is why its all come to a head,because for a long time people HAVE put up and shut up and its caused bad feeling ...Better to have a couple of days bashing out the problem than letting it fester

The fact that some ( mods) DONT get banned for breaking the rules they are supposed to uphold is the problem here

Lots of things are deleted so you cant get a clear picture of the whole thing.

Yeah, but you've come back kicking and screaming because you've been given a ban. As stated earlier in the thread, you broke the rules, and for once you were punished. You can't be whinging about the mods that gave you that punishment when you're just as guilty of what you're complaining about.

Actually there is a lot more going on than problems members have with certain mods, members being completely blind to their own wrong doings whilst quick to point out others flaws is one of the main issues.

Now please take a minute and find where Ive "come back kicking and screaming " about getting a ban.... I took the ban on the chin as adults do ,my complaint is about ONE mod, not all mods

[Withano]

I thought admins could infract mods, but mods cant infract each other?

Well said Chuff,Why can't people see that ? not all of us feel the need to suck up to people who are in a position of 'power' for fear of getting a ban,people are just surmising what THEY think has happened,

Oh, so it's just coincidence that it happens to be the mod that gave you that ban?

One thing Im not and have never been is blind to my faults ,but Im not the subject here, if I do wrong I get infracted or banned, what I think should happen as Ive said countless time above and on Izzard thread is a fair deal for ALL ,with EVERYONE being equal ,thats not too much to ask for surely ?
