Listen,
I know who the two are who dobbed on me anyway  :shh
Now is your chance to man up and voice your personal concerns.
Are you able to articulate your standpoint without fear of retribution?

Can I also request that the list of banned words be published in the site rules area of the thread? They don't have to be spelled out but at least communicated so we all get the gist as to why they are banned.

For example, I tried to post a word earlier which is a brand of anti depressant and I was locked out of posting with a forbidden message. But then you can say the word rape.
The former is done by our hosts as an anti-spam mechanism which we (the mods) have no control over. So certain brands of medications or gambling related words (po-ker) will result in the "forbidden" message.

Ok that makes sense. Thanks OE

I like the site and for the most part posters are informative on the Tiggers and the game.

Whatever happens, happens.

Go Tigers. :gotigers

im happy for change. if it means people stay and it encourages people to join the site so be it. lets see the site grow not shrivel away to nothing.

i will say this though the sites good because it hasnt been overly officious.  so theres pros and cons.

Reported.

SNIP

And why a post to say you reported it?

No need for that either

BTW the person who the original post was directed at in jest (think one of these  :lol is a good indication it was indeed in jest) hasn't complained so not sure what the problem is but for consistency I've removed it

Just wondering, is there a sense of irony with a thread about a question of moderation being so heavily moderated?

Has the decision been made and this thread is the first implementation?

Because I'd be called gutless if I didn't so I'm manning up.
He might not have seen it and it's good you nipped it in the butt before he did, was a perfect example of baiting. I'm sure if he did retaliate he'd be copping a lot more than "a snip for consistencies sake". I'm also sure if someone else said that they'd be getting a strike too.

And that's the thing - we're all big people and all have that option.  Trying to please and calm everyone by over-moderating will only drive more away, we have to be able to have a crack and should only be moderated when it gets purely and overtly abusive, racist, sexist etc.

Just noticed this thread and read through all the posts. Some decent comments here. I've been on the forum for a number of years and only started reporting posts in the last month when I was banned. Not anything personal against the poster or even a complaint - more a comment on the inconsistency of the moderation.
It's a bit like the holding the ball interpretation, I don't care how you interpret it - just be consistent.
So my reporting to moderators is more to do with consistent moderation of the forum.
Personally, it's a soap box so jump on and go for it - you want some sting in the threads, it's makes for an edgy debate.
I don't particularly like incessant negativity but it's a matter of prerogative.
I reckon baiting overly positive posters is poor form and admit to reacting but it's like a mosquito bite.
Sometimes you scratch it and other times you can't be arsed.
