Leave it @Yaya_Tony. I've just brokered a peace deal :-)

Oh yeah? The details of that should be fun, what's gone down?!

What's the difference between a mod and a normal poster? Why should the standards change?

As in, one who enforces the rules shouldn't also break the rules. They should be held to a higher standard. Posting just to wind people up

Yeah, thats a valid question.

To me, those who enforce the rules should really make damn sure they don't break them themselves. Would a mod get banned for personal abuse? I'd argue, probably not.

It just sets a bad precedent and creates a bad group culture if a mod is abusing people, or winding people up etc.

Maybe I'm wrong, though

I enjoyed those 3 minutes of you totally dropping it now.

The fact that this has literally happened in the past probably undercuts your point here doesn't it?

They should be held to a higher standard.

This will never ever ever ever happen. If this is what you want then Bluemoon is not the forum for you. No matter how much you woman and moan about this, this will never happen.

Many others have no issue at all keeping up with the points made. Have you considered that the problem is that the points make perfect sense and you're just not really bright enough to understand them without having them repeatedly spelled out in as many different phrasings as humanly possible?

But I'm glad you've decided to totally drop this now. I'll look forward to this extended period of quiet that I'm sure will be forthcoming

I'll admit I'm not a genius, my academic pedigree is strong, and i've got no real reason to believe yours isn't either

But anyway, I know you'll leave it now, as I've said nothing antagonising, and hope you didn't take it as such....

I think Roaminblue is right about this. The moderation on here is very different from when I first joined. It used to be a lot more tongue in cheek, there was a lot more banter. Now (perhaps because of the number of posters) it seems to be much more confrontational. A bit more like policing than moderating.

That's fine, Ric decides how this place runs and if he wants it moderated that way that is his privilege and it is the posters privilege to do one elsewhere.

If that is the style then as roamin says, the moderators have to have impeccable standards or they will end up like robocops and will crush the spirit that BM has always had.

Shame

Behave mate you'll never "crush the spirit"of this place, we're all blues and dealt with miles worse following City than a few harsh words and mard arses on the Internet.

Any of the mods are doing this off their own free will. The fact some nutters have a chip on their shoulder and think they're being singled out when the reality is noone gives a fuck is hardly their fault. That's on the individual.

This thread could end up bigger than the pogba thread because both damo and roamin seem to insist on having the last word despite it being plainly obvious that their debate ran its course quite a while ago and is just pointless tit for tat posts

I was responding to another poster who directly asked me a question...

Fair enough, thanks for your input. Hope this is put to bed now

ridiculous

 

[roaminblue]

ridiculous

Ok, maybe I phrased it incorrectly.

But are the laws evenly applied to moderators. Would you ban a mod from a thread for being on the wind up?

I disagree. This place doesn't have the same atmosphere as it used to have. It's a much harsher place and not as enjoyable. It's nothing to do with all being blues.
