...it could be a preset thing to send to a member, rather than type it out each time by staff..?...just press a button and that ‘one chance’ is given to self edit..?...

I get where you are coming from, but the issue with this is that by the time the member chose to edit/delete, there will have been a lot of quoting generally...and maybe an argument will have sprung up about the edited bit and that...and its just not workable with how quickly threads can move on here.

And they should have a choice too what they will moderate... putting Vicky back into a section that's made her miserable would be emotionally abusive imo

Agree 100%.

I remember when I gave a poster 1 point..and it knocked them into a 3 week ban I was planning on being soft and making it shorter given it really was a minor thing but then they sent me a PM telling me to kill myself. So, nope.

Marsh must be stopped!

I still have a warning from 2014 it expires in 2020

[Tom4784]

Bit of a shady warning too!

[Tom4784]

I'll reverse it if you want but if it was me I'd wanna keep it tbh.

[Jordan.]

I'm riding it out & clearly sticking to what it says

[Tom4784]

Imagine if we gave out 6 year infractions and warnings for saying 'Leave ha alone' these days. C&G would be DEAD.

[Cal.]

I have infractions that never expire

[Kazanne]

I have no problem with the forum or rules at all, it's the way some of us are spoken to ,there are ways of talking to people without being condescending and rude. There should be somewhere we can air our grievances too so I think the appeals section is a good move or even just a named person we could talk to.

[AnnieK]

All seems fair to me. Rules and modding needs to be as transparent as possible and what has been suggested seems to be the best way to do things

I think I speak for many when I say this drama is distracting from the mods installing a like button and quote notification feature

Important take away message

I've already posted in admin but I don't agree that mods should assigned to moderating certain areas of the forum, yes it may sound good in theory but it really wouldnt work on here partly due to members becoming aware of which mods doing what and starting a 'this mod is bias campaign' when the infractions are given out, and others can argue that it won't happen but it already does and will continue to. And then there's the fact that certain areas on here are much busier and more hostile than other areas, the times that mods are online/offline would also have to be worked out and factored in, thats just the first thoughts that came to me about it.

I will say though there is a big problem on this forum atm that needs sorting, thats both down to members and staff issues that need to be dealt with ASAP.

Welcome back Mrs Josy. Could you not trial it in SD for 3 months or something? I think most people would be happy if bans and infractions are handed out by someone who plays within the rules themselves and someone who is fair and even handed?

In a nutshell Cherie,I have no problem with rules as long as it applies to us ALL.

One word answer.
Respect.


Long answer.
Is it so flippin’ hard to respect the fact that people have different views on any given subject.
That’s the reason to debate a subject, learn about different views.
Personal grievances have no place on any forum, especially an otherwise friendly one like TIBB.
A decent sense of humour and a bit of lightning up would go a long way as well.

Well said Smudgie

The other suggestion with regard to SD is that the mod or mods could be anonymous, though I can only speak for myself if the modding is fair, and even handed and people can see that mods who break the rules are treated the same way as members it would go a long way to restoring some trust in the system.

My major gripe is that mods can say what they like to who the like with no recourse, this needs addressing..... 99% of the modding on here is fair and accepted,its when the line is crossed and when said mods are being used to fire the gun for their mates as there is no come back on them that has caused all of this debate ,and although today everyone seems to think big changes will happen on here,Im sad to say they wont,within a few days we will be back to square one ,with the same thing happening

Mods should be treated the same... but let's face it, there's only one mod who breaks the rules continually, and that's Dezzy. I have another infraction from him today, in spite. Because the post wasn't worth an infraction. But look at his posts! - not on this thread though, where he's being all jokey and trying not to acknowledge that it is he who is the problem.

I'm not sure whether to report his posts every time he acts unreasonably - which is often - or just quote his posts and highlight the nonsense.

That's the thing though, modding is already anonymous. A person can only assume that a certain mod is handing out infractions, they can't truly know.

One example of this involves Niamh, when SamPVT was on the forum, she would get tirades of abuse any time he got infracted although most of the time she had nothing to do with it and even if she was behind the infractions, all of the infractions Sam received were fair because all mods see every infraction that occurs and if we take issue with it, we say something. .
