Thanks for the input, back to the question. When was it?

No problem. Always like to help when you're struggling.

Smart Mart said:

I can only go on what I see, Glen. And he stamped on an opponents ankle again yesterday.

Fact.

It might have been like his mistimed lunch with Otman Bakkal.

I thought Allen would be the key to unlocking defences

Not very good is he

Arf arf..

jammy_basturd said:

I thought you mods were supposed to be impartial?

Mods ARE impartial. Any problem with that and you need to speak to Paul Garlick. Definitely NOT flood the Mods inbox with insults, that doesn't work.

[Ferg]

Looked very deliberate to me.
Oh, and the thread is for talking about Liverpool...NOT for Liverpool fans only.

Most are moving on let's hope you join us and putting this to bed and move on to another topic, thanks!

Wise move.....

You are Rajasnotinvegas AICMFP

Possibly. Or UF as we like to call him.

RedTrident said:

Why? You think you can just call someone a tt and carry on as normal? I expect an apology and then we'll move on

Give up. It'll never happen. I've taken st from plenty on here and they never apologised. The thread is the pits. Posters who think the mods are fair game. Abuse by private email, fake profiles, think the Mods are biased... get it all..Boo, bloody, hoo. Funny none of the other threads are like it.

[Ferg]

Never been abused by a fan of any other club when I banned them. Never had a fake profile created by anyone other than a Liverpool fan. Not everyone on this thread is like it, but I've taken personal abuse from at least two posters currently live on this thread. Is that acceptable? They think so. Scum.

Piersman2 said:

So why aren't they banned? Genuine question.

No idea.

[Ferg]

Piersman2 said:

I thought you were Mod, no?

I wasn't permitted to ban those who abused me.

Sorry Ferg but coming from a Mod that is very,very poor form. I completely agree that people abusing mods should be banned, but to then call them scum is just as bad & causing trouble IMHO.

99% of people on this thread want to talk football and have a bit of banter, why can't the mods just remove the people causing trouble permanantly, and leave the thread alone? It is plainly obvious who needs sorting out, but instead the vast majority get punished for the fault of a few, consistant, troublemakers?

I think abusing people, WHOEVER they are, in private e-mails is poor form. Whatever I say on here I say as a normal PH member. I've been here for over 10 years and have a spotless record yet there are those on here with ban, after ban, after ban, after ban, who continue to post. I'll call anyone I think is worthy of it scum and anyone who creates a fake profile via a proxy server in the States PURELY to abuse me on a PUBLIC forum....is scum. Decency rates about 2000 places ABOVE 'Having a thread on PH' as far as I'm concerned. Sorry if that conflicts with other's views.

[Ferg]

RWD cossie wil said:

Don't disagree at all, but however as a mod, you are in a position of authority & need to be lead by example, calling people scum really isn't helping the situation at all is it?

What doesn't help the situation is posters thinking they can do what they like and if pulled up by Moderators abuse them continually. Should I post on this thread in black and white what they sent by e-mail?? That'd change a few opinions on some of the holier-than-thou posters. And some of the reports received from posters about other posters?? See what everyone thinks of each other?

[Ferg]

Hmmm...UF and Thom went last time. You'll be surprised. I'll look out the choice ones.

GALLARDOGUY said:

+1.

If I'd offered to be a mod, then received abuse and got no backing from the PH bigwigs, I'd have quit being a mod for good.

You deserved better.

I wish other posters on here thought that. I'd better clear my e-mail expose I think. I do want to remain on PH.

[Ferg]

GLENRED said:

Maybe they don't trust their judgment?

When mods refers to a thread as the "TOS" or calls poster scum and tells others to fk off!

Who knows? but I've never emailed any abuse to a mod on here and think that these emails should be posted up for all to see.

name and shame.

Fine Glen. I have indeed used these terms. ToS is an accepted term well earned by this thread. The others are post-abuse. You try being a member of a forum for 10 years, be INVITED to be a moderator, have a diciplinery record better than ANYONE else on this forum...then have posters treat you like dirt. Joke is....the biggest tt actually sent me a request on 'Linked in' such is his failure to see what an ahole he has been. No respect for moderators at all. Blinkered beyond belief and worthy of the term 'scum' to my mind. Sorry if that offends you, but with respect you have NO IDEA what happened when this thread was closed in the summer.

GLENRED said:

You keep referring to it as if its some kind of area 51 secret!

why not just tell everyone and we can all see what tts they are.

and yes I don't like being called scum.

Not a secret, simply something I'd rather not discuss on here. I didn't call you scum, unless you feel your e-mails to me were abusive??

[Ferg]

NoNeed said:

I thought that too, but it is strong language for a MOD to use when people have been banned for less. So it is easy to see why offence is taken when that language comes from not only a MOD but one of the arch enemy.

Just my 2p I'm out now lol

Perhaps if those I'm referring to would like to complain about my language then....if you get upset by that word, NEVER become a moderator and ban a poster from the Liverpool Thread. God knows what you'd make of that.

This thread will never wander far from the closure threat as long as some posters remain. I'll leave you all to it I think.

[Ferg]

Good ref-moaning from Steve.

Support the manager if you're going to claim to be a supporter of the club.

Is that a hard and fast rule. I'm sure Roy Hodgson didn't get support across the board on here.
