Any reason why?

Seems a bit odd to me.

Was an interesting poll.

Usually whenever a poll on who are you voting for pops up on here conservatives win tat poll. This is the first I remember that 50% were not voting conservatives.

Don't see why it was locked at all if people are contributing then fine nobody else is forced to look in.

Moderating is getting too heavy handed on here.

Whether you read FPTP as First Past The Post or Futile Padlocked Trollish Polls, either way, the 'kippers just can't seem win. hehe

You would say that. I don't remember threads like that being closed before it wasn't offensive people were contributing yet a mod thought the poll was silly and closed it. That is over moderation IMO which I know counts for nothing .
Don't see a need for closing threads like that let them die when nobody can be bothered to post any more.

It's just the Haymarket media machine. As seen with prawn etc.

Remember, the mods only do what they are told to do, no free reign.

Perhaps, but some mods have heavier hands than others.

Either way, we appreciate the work they do. smile

No, the mods operate within a set of guidelines and opinions that are agreed between us, the only real level of corporate guidance is that around N&S and the "prawn" side of things (and there's good reason for that too).

If you have issue, the best route is to contact Garlick.

Exactly, you're doing what you're told. Nothing wrong with that.

Do do-ers need to do!

No, you read that incorrectly. WE do what WE decide is the right thing to do.

You can probably understand that he receives a huge amount of mail. If the issue is outstanding, drop him another note, or, if it relates to a particular post, hit report and the mods will look at it.

Tried all that.
even started a thread to ask why my posting a link to a website that had been linked MANY times before should get me a ban and all I got was a stty comment from Matt172 IIRC, calling me a racist.

nice.

Hold on a second! ...

... the existence of this thread is in direct contravention of " Rule 12"...

... but ... it was moved here ... oh, the paradox! ...

... what does it all mean?
