Happy Christmas Moderators

[1966_and_all_that]

To the hard working Mods, overseeing this Board with care, consideration and a delicacy of touch. We all know that sometimes this board appears ungovernable but deep down we also know that without you it would descend into chaos. Have a really great Christmas and a very rewarding New Year. UTP!





(It was £10 for fifty words, wasn't it?).

They all need sacking fcuking useless the lot of them

Little tease...

 

[poolseasider]

Any chance of some right wing mods coming aboard.

 

[Lytham_fy8]

Anyone can volunteer, it's not a closed shop.

 

[Macseasider]

Personally I think the moderation is great on here.

If you don't post offensive bollocks then you have no issues.

All depends who you are, fairness and moderation aren’t in their vocabulary.

Don't agree. If you want to be all controversial and come across as edgy then you have to live and die by the sword.

If you don't then you'll never have any problems.

We have this slag off the mods thread at least once a year. End of the day it's a privately owned venture so you either suck it up like a big boy and stop crying or go somewhere else.

There would be nothing to suck up if everyone was treated the same, they aren’t. This from personal experience, that’s why I rarely post anymore.

 

[TangerineBayern]

Happy Snowflakey Christmas and a Wokey New Year don’t you mean!

 

[Lytham_fy8]

As a fully signed up snowflake leftie, I've had more posts removed than the rest of you lot put together.

No…far to sensible to waste their time and our resident lefties won’t be happy,but they never are

'Cough, cough'...excuse me. This isn't a slag off the mods thread. This is a "thank you for all your hard work, mods" thread.

 

[rockontommy]

I would like to be a mod, or the site fact checker.

Yeah, let's all be grey and not say anything that others may not like. Yep, that would be the death of AVFTT.

Yep well said. Evidence that the lefties are running/ruining AVFTT.

Yes. Of course it is.

 

[TheRealKingKenny]

I’d like to congratulate the mods for keeping the knuckle draggers in check

Not really what I was getting at. You (and I both) often speak our minds that go against the grain but don't get posts removed (often).

It's posts that are clearly inflammatory and deliberately either offensive or posted to cause a ruck.

 

[1966_and_all_that]

Well I'll defend your right to speak out. Even though I know you are mostly wrong, that's no reason why you shouldn't waste your breath posting it.

 

[Mexboroseasider]

See there’s now talk about “the death of avftt”.

The only board that’s died that I can think of is BHS. And I think that was closed because the headbangers ran riot.

 

[Philbfctrois]

Why don't we know who the moderating team are, it's bizarre that they hide it

I’m sure we’ve been told at least once that there aren’t really any moderators as such. Posters just report posts they aren’t happy with and the owners then make a decision about what to do. I’m not sure why the owners would lie about that?

Do you have any actual evidence that posters on here are also mods? Or is it just another conspiracy theory?

Of course there are moderators I've had at least 3 messages from different admins over the last few weeks

You really are tuning into some sort of Comical Ali type parody

So there’s three owners who take it in turns then

Are you this paranoid in real life as well?

Look Phil, you're like a dog with a bone here. You can't be that unself aware that you don't see the issues you raise at times with both your content and your style. I'm not saying you should be banned and neither are the mods. Just learn how to roll with it occasionally.

Roll with what the denying of free speech and censorship

No thanks

Isn't that what people have been accusing Qatar of?

This is AVFFT's country. This is AVFTT's rules. Surely you should be respecting their rules and not virtue signalling what they should and shouldn't be doing?

This is the best footy website ever ;0)

There's more than one way to skin a cat. Criticisms and condemnation can be posted on here in different ways. You don't need to turn it up to 11.

Removing only certain posts makes a mockery of the site and the threads in question as it skews debate and gives an incorrect picture of what's been posted

It's ridiculous to be honest and the message I got from admin2 was based on nothing more than agenda driven nonsense with absolutely no proof or context on what I was supposed to have done wrong to break any site rules

 

[tangysider]

Is that what is called a mixed metaphor?

No metaphor in sight dear boy. A double negative, perhaps.

Lyth, didn't know it was a competition
Must join in.

I very much doubt that, I have about 20 a week removed, its getting tiresome as it's most of my good stuff as well

 

[Lala]

We need an Avftt Ombudsman, or Ombudswoman

And to be fair your good stuff is well worth reading

Is that an application?

Or even an 'Ombudsperson'.

I m not volunteering.

Not true. Fact.

Think you have to be a special type of person to be a mod. Jackie Weaver vibes.

Proper busy and a sense of power, like the clipboard/mask crew at various places over the past couple of years.

Get a real buzz out of removing posts and sending warnings. More than likely wear a mod badge whilst sat in their study and tell their Mrs/Fellar, they are due on shift and let them know when their breaks are.

To be fair I did it on both BHS and this old site but for different reasons

BHS was an election so I did it just to see if I could win, I did .....

Avftt was a bit different as it was after all the legal stuff and Robbie and his crew couldn't cope with it and I got a phone call from one of the owners, I only did it to help out
