It is possible to hold strong opinions and be reasonable whilst moderating.

The Streaker (rip) was the epitome of even handed on here, but it could never be said he was shy with his opinions.

Would he have had a pop at a banned poster who cannot respond when he knew lots of the forums members are sick and tired of that sort of thing ?
Youve mentioned The Streaker( R.I.P.) before, as if it gives you reason to act the way you do, we are talking about you in the here and now not previous or current mods.........You.
How can we cut out this bad mouthing of posters not in a position to defend themselves when the man who is moderating the board does it himself ?

I joined the other forum. The main reason was that this thread was being bogged down by moaning Minnie’s, trolls and people having a pop at banned posters who could not reply, that is a trait that has been going on for far too long.
I made it clear over there that I was not about to bad mouth this forum, it’s posters or it’s mods.
I pointed out that I had pals over here and would be using both forums and encouraged others to do the same.
Ive had dialogue with @ Pancho before about the way he conducts himself on here. Quite frankly I believe he has overstepped the mark several times recently and I’ve asked him what he wants to be, a moderator or an outspoken poster. Surely he can’t be both or can he?
If the answer is yes then that is something else that is currently wrong with this forum. I suspect Pancho knows he can do what he likes.
He has offered apologies a few times on open forum recently so he knows what he is doing. A good moderator should never have to do that.
So, lots of posters have complained about yellow bellied posters having a pop at banned posters not having the right of reply, but how will we stop it when the board’s most aggressive and outspoken moderator does just that ?
Is he answerable to anyone ?
Surely, if the moderators can do it then everyone can do it.
This isn’t me sticking up for Reiver, I hate it when posters have a pop at someone who cannot respond. When a forum allows its moderators to carry on in such a way there is something fundamentally wrong.
So, Pancho, make your mind up what you want to be, a good moderator or a good poster cos right now you don’t appear to be either.
This post may disappear or indeed, I might disappear but nothing I’ve typed here is abusive, I suspect it’s what a lot of other posters are thinking too.

Been trying to sign up to that site but I'm still waiting for my validation email. 🤔

Hey dude, maybe you’ll help me understand your indecipherable comment?

@T_Bone posted his opinion on something and straight away you jumped in with an insult. Just because you disagree with what he's posted doesn't mean you need to be insulting. This thread and the previous ones on the take over have just degenerated into bickering meaning people wanting to find out what's actually happening have to wade through pages and pages of shite just to find a small snippet of information.

Do you mean like badmouthing people on the other forum? A lot of that is allegedly going on - bit cowardly too by the ones who still have access to this place.
