A 'nice' place to visit..
What an insipid adjective
🙄
I wouldn't mind Drac addressing my genuine question about knowing about the motivation behind the reporting of posts if that's ok.
The thing is, a lot of this forum has to be policed by the consent of the users. As in all walks of life, there are the ones who go too far. There are the sneaks. There are the cliques. There are the genuine good guys. There are some brilliantly inspirational/sobering threads and some frankly nasty ones.
Life in microcosm.
With respect, how could you possibly know the motivation behind it?
Sorry I missed that before.
We review the reported post, look at the thread and if we believe the person who reported it has a genuine concern or a rule is clearly broken we'll act. However, we occasionally know that there's is more than one person guilty, especially in the case of long arguments, so we may act on more than one person including the person reporting. We also notice patterns of reports and people's behaviour. Of course we occasionally get it wrong but as mentioned early to get to the level of a ban you have to have done something bad or been a persistent offender who refuses to correct themselves.
persistent offender who refuses to correct themselves.
Which is precisely how I earned my 'holiday', so fair do's.
Anyway, this forum can't be all that bad, or all that dull as people still continue to use it.
You allude to the fact that you also post as a mere user. You mean you actually have a life and personality of your own? How dare you. I expect you to be moderating 24-7, on every post on every thread. For free.
You mods don't know you're born. Surely you only exist to serve us users and have no other function in life? 😉
Yeah it keep getting busier and while a few have left over the years or rarely post there's still many here from the start.
