HappyHamer Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 When people sign up to the forum, they agree to abide by a series of rules, wether they bother to read them or not. For a long time, the mods have been lenient, and people have continually abused this leeway. Wether we agree with the rules or not is irrelevant. The fact is, after people have ben given an inch and decided to take take a mile, the mods are enforcing those rules much more diligently now. And if people didn't break the rules, causing more work for the mods, then they'd have more of their, literally, free time to sort out the shopping spammers, who, although annoying, are probably deemed less offensive than the reasons people are getting banned. Right, I'm off to see a stage production of Georges Marvellous Medicine with my son, and a theatre full of hyperactive precious little sugar bombs, so I've vented, and can go without dark thoughts of rage spoiling my afternoon! Oh, and I do appreciate defsteve! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rexel1406053033 Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 Not really sure what vicious_elbows is complaining about bearing in mind he has admitted to having several accounts which is against the rules for a start. Defsteve is the most under rated mod but he always has a nice witty one liner ready to post straight after banning someone which makes him legend.

trinimmaman Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 Who???? haha on a serious note, all the mods here have a difficult job, so their work is appreciated even though their decisions are not always in tandem with that of the masses.

HappyHamer Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 I'm not starting a new thread for the sake of one question, but as it's specifically for defsteve, I'll put it here and hope he catches it. Certain words can bypass the swear filter as they clearly aren't considered as offensive in one country as another. Would the continued use of these words (which I won't print, just in case) result in any sort of ban? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the forum filter puts asterix instead it is deemed a swear word. if it doesn't, it isn't. And I get what you mean.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

defsteve Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 they are banning the best posters on this site.....and making marders of us......but we always find a way back on here...great job defsteve And therein lies the problem. The 'best posters on the site' should be aware of the rules by now. If they avoid the swear filter they get a temporary ban. I am not going to be 'lenient' based on a members post count or join date. It really is black and white. And the 'Report Post' function should be used to report any offensive or troublesome threads. If I upset anyone in the process, I can live with it.

HappyHamer Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 Hahaha. That tag actually made me laugh. Before I deleted it of course. You know how when a child is naughty, they get certain treats removed until they can be better behaved. Can you do something similar with the tag option?
