Who moderates the moderators

Racists can be very subtle these days



Especially the paranoid ones 😱
Recid, just because we disagree it doesn’t make you right. If you think I’m a racist prove it. Remember essentially these are txt messages that everyone post on here. Have you ever heard the word ambiguous? I’ll wait.
 
Dont know what goes on behind WPC's closed door,he maybe getting banned for having multiple usernames and forgetting the one he can post with or could it be a half scottish Celtic fan who posts on here has a very big grudge against a Rangers supporter.
 
Not sure about that Mac.

Had some comments deleted this morning cos I was slating Macron over his barring of the Home Secretary from an important meeting on the migrant crisis.

Seems like even the mods are pro French these days. 👎

Jaffa

It doesn't matter what you think about Macron or what you think about anybody or anything.

Your posts should only be amended/deleted if they break the rules.

The moderator makes it up as he goes along and isn't really a moderator, if you were to make him aware that your post(s) was within the rules he would tell you that, "We believe that your post was likely to offend other posters and is therefore against the rules" or he might go with the, "We have received lots of complaints from other posters and we decided to delete your post.

Remember though, if you don't like it, MAC tells you that you can set your own forum up.

That's MAC who warned everybody about using foul language and used the term "b3ll End" in the same post as his warning.

The moderator is behaving in a less than honest manner and there is no point in pretending otherwise.

Your being very childish

How can I prove it if they keep deleting all your ambiguous racist posts

On the positive side, if only you could be so pleasant in all your posts …

… and breathe 😘
 
If you're unable to pick Scara out in this picture, you shouldn't be calling him a racist
HINT*** That looks like Jaffa on the far right (no pun intended)

P.S.....It's a Friday afternoon joke.....Scara's not in the picture......It's Dollar Thief & Eagle Day

2020 could have just put 'bellend' anyway, there's no swear filter like the old site where 'bellend' was the only thing you could get past the filter hence its popularity on AVFTT

One day I'll write a history, 'AVFTT, a companion to the bellendery'
 
What.....You mean like having your name as an anagram of "Adolf Hitler"......or maybe using the day Nazis' tried to destroy the RAF...as a bit of fun?
No doubt they're accounts run by the board owners to keep posters coming back to reply.
I can assure you I am not an owner of this board and if my user name offends thee..............tough s**t sweetlips! 😘😘😘😘😘

Just as long as you don't claim Im the fat git on the right. 🤡
 
That's an interesting viewpoint MAC.

Jaffa explained his concerns regarding the moderation in a polite and appropriate manner.

You explained that you thought the moderation on here was very good, a view that you are perfectly entitled to hold and to express on here, but then go on to tell everybody that if they don't like the moderation they can always set their own forum up.

I then explained that I shared Jaffa's concerns regarding the moderation and offered justification for this, I also explained myself in an appropriate manner.

I'm finding it hard to understand why you feel that I'm behaving in a childish manner given that you've told everybody that if they don't like things they can set their own forum up, while all I have done is politely explain my concerns regarding the moderation, provided justification for those concerns and also highlighted that you used foul language while warning others not to ?????????????????????????????????????????????????
Have a nice cup of tea. Your getting all angst ridden over nothing. You seem to be giving this site far too much importance in your life.
 
You think advocating for the murder of a politician is a reasonable and inoffensive response.
I think we were all given a warning that if we are a poster who comes on with one agenda only, and that’s not football, we would be called out by the moderators.

Infact that could actually be a sticky at the top of the board.
Maybe that was the issue with your posting Cat.

Considering the board is run by the moderators and used by us for free I won’t complain. And yes I have had the odd post removed, but won’t grumble.

Individual agendas being the key.
 
So the only argument to support my ban seems to follow this pattern and yes, I am emphasizing a point.

I am opposed to slavery.
It is immoral and can not be justified.
There are (and I stress this) hypothetical people that support slavery.
I judge that every attempt to justify slavery is abhorrent and must be criticised.
Because I comment on slavery repeatedly I am considered a single issue poster.
It is not the only subject I post on but because the subject comes up in the news often it constitutes a majority of my posts.
Therefore according to some posters it is correct to ban me for being opposed to slavery.
Does not seem a very moral or particularly intelligent response to me.

Thanks, I'm not a tea man but I do appreciate the advice.

I perhaps do give this site too much importance at times but here I was just responding to something that you chose to offer.

I won't go into that again, I have no serious problem with what you said and I trust you are not overly bothered about any of the chite that I posted.

What I will say though is that we can all disagree regarding the behaviour of the moderator but one thing that is perfectly clear for everybody to see is that it is not just myself who has concerns over his behaviour.

No big deal and I'm not getting in to the ins and outs of Cat's ban or whatever it is he's not happy with but that the board is free, that you don't want to complain and that you have had posts removed and still won't grumble make no difference to the validity of the concerns of others and the right for others to express those concerns.

I don't wish to be overly critical and perhaps as MAC suggests I'm taking things too seriously but you've mentioned this before - others have probably done the same to be fair - and all this people shouldn't complain because this site is free is just absolute nonsense, the site is funded by the posters and customers should always be allowed to express their concerns in an appropriate manner.

An effective moderator would look to address the concerns of posters, that doesn't mean that he should agree with what they say or take the actions that they want but surely he should engage with those who express concerns in a polite and appropriate manner ?

No getting into any slavery debate with you.

Expressing your opinions on matters - any matters not just slavery - is exactly what this forum is for and as long as the views you express are not abhorrent then you should be able to express them on here and your posts should not be deleted or amended.

The moderation on this board is about personality and not about the content of posts, I would imagine that if you are having problems with non abhorrent posts being deleted/amended it is because the moderator does not like you or perhaps I should say doesn't like your internet persona.

My opinion doesn‘t invalidate anyone else’s Seaside.

BUT nobody else’s opinion invalidates mine either.

I‘ve given mine as it stands.

I‘ve also provided a helpful link provided by those who run the site as to why Cat may have been banned 👍

That link applies to all of us, it isn’t victimisation, it’s a warning that applies to all of us.

But I’m sure if anyone wants to take up personal matters with admin they can.
 
LALA

All good but the moderator is not behaving with integrity.

I appreciate that you may have not been on the wrong end of his lack of integrity.

I am sure Cat may have found the link you provided helpful but the moderator does not apply the rules, he is making up the rules up as he goes along.

"Your post was defending such and such and somebody were offended so it was against the rules" etc, etc.

Yes, I perhaps take it too seriously but that does not excuse the moderators behaviour.

Just ignore my nonsense and have a good weekend LALA.
Its not nonsense to get things off your chest 👍

I have never had anything against you personally, sometimes I’m in your corner, sometimes I’m not.

Depending on our viewpoints.
I can only comment on each subject with regards to my own opinions.

Take your concerns up with admin if you feel the need. I‘m happy with the moderation but that doesn’t mean you cant discuss your issues directly with them. I doubt they will ever get resolved on an open thread though.

I don’t feel you are a one trick poster. I feel Cat is, and hence my input on this thread. I’m not going to shy away from that.
