Just the bit that starts with "It" and ends with "people".

Gotcha....back to lurking and feeling like an outsider it is for me then

Benjamin · 17-04-2013, 09:34 AM

No. No. No. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

No more clique talk please.

Niamh. · 17-04-2013, 09:39 AM

In response to the OP - no I don't usually feel left out, that's just because I post alot though, the more you post the more up to date and involved you become I think

I've been here since 2006 and I still don't feel like I can speak to some people, but if you speak to a small collection of people it can make your time worth while on here.

I go through phases of feeling part if the forum and feeking like an outsider. I find that if I feck off fir a while, its hard to get back into.

I think the more you chat to people the better you feel in here.

I think the whole 'friends of moderators never get infracted etc' is a silly comment.

Yes exactly Vanessa, I actually don't even think we have a problem with cliques on here atm, I think people have their own groups of people that they get on better with (which happens in all walks of life) but it's nothing now like it was a couple of years back with cliques. I think people are generally pretty friendly here

Yeah, some people like to use any excuse to have a pop at the Moderators, it's a tough life for a Mod Lucas :'(

Exactly. I feel i can chat to most people in here without any problems. I do think the mods in here do a brilliant job. It can't be an easy job sometimes!

I agree that is not true as far as i can see although some moderators behave better than others they are fair in general.

One reason I stepped down from the position after 4 years was because I got sick of dealing with all the petty crap and being castrated for it. It started ruining TiBB for me.

It really isn't easy sometimes being a mod, even if it looks it. But the whole friends of mods thing annoyed me the most. I've infracted and banned many of my friends on here if they cross the line, same as the other mods do.

You were a brilliant mod, Ben. The best one for me.

Thank you.

Near the end though I was feeling the strain, it was becoming so unbearable. I honestly much prefer TiBB now without having to worry about what everyone else is doing.

Castigated, surely?

That's not why you stepped down as moderator. Don't try to twist it now...

Kazanne · 17-04-2013, 10:37 AM

There is a difference between being friendly than overly butt licking! some people seem to have short memories.i am happy to chat with members I get on with but will not ass lick to be accepted.

So are you saying that people can only be friends with eachother if they ass lick? I don't understand what you're implying there

No Niamh,lol, I'm really not it's just I guess some people seem to try too hard.

Vanessa · 17-04-2013, 10:51 AM

That's true, but that happens in real life as well. Some people are nice, others not so much. I always talk to anyone who is friendly to me and avoid those i don't like.
