I have recently pulled a thread created by Mr. T regarding GKelly. Here is his opriginal post:
Just to make things absolutely clear:
GKELLY IS NOT NOW, NOR HAS HE EVER, BEEN BANNED FROM BLUEMOON.
Who exactly this "higher power" is, I don't really know either. In my whole memory of being a mod here, we have never pulled a thread because it's what City want. If we did, I would guarantee that I'd inform the forum and step down the same day.
To my knowledge, City have never asked for a thread to be pulled and I can guarantee that they have no influence on the decisions made in the transfer forum.
Me and Ric are the only people who have access to the server machine, and I can tell you for definite that there's absolutely no influence from City on this board, or the way it is moderated. Ric is absolutely deadset on this point, this is an unofficial forum and will always remain so.
Referring to the Nazi comments in the pulled thread by some people, may I refer you to the Code of Conduct:
Feel free to question any decisions that you like, either on the open board or a PM. Accusations of megalomania, including comments about being fascists are where we draw the line though. We ask for absolutely nothing off of you to enjoy this forum and not have to put up with the shit that we moderate out (the spam, etc), apart from to keep this down. The reason we ask you to keep this down, is because it's bloody annoying as it's entirely untrue. I imagine that the people who are spurting this out aren't really experienced on forums. We are easily on the looser moderating sense of things. Go and read the rules of the RAWK transfer forum, or RedCafe, then say we are heavy handed.
Now, the "Polite Request From The Mod Team" thread is a sticky at the top, I implore you to read it again. The transfer forum is currently causing far too much trouble and a select few are spoiling it for everybody. We have a Catch-22 here. If we ban the select few, we're Nazi's because we are banning people for no reason. If we don't, then we're a bunch of shit because we're letting them go. We can't win either way, but you are forcing us to act when you post shit such as the above.
