The mod needs to be reasonable, fair and trusted, not biased against or for certain clubs etc.




Not all mods here are worth their title, I'm still banned from the lounge just cause a mod got snotty with me and lost the argument.

Especially seeing as he hasn't posted on a football thread in at least 60 days as far as I can see

Zaxxon if you have an issue with the mods take it up with Paul, we are trying to resolve problems here not cause them

Can you explain why?

Do you think a specific few should never be criticised or questioned?

From what I can see it's not one mod in particular, seems you've had a few incursions since your arrival.

This thread is about moving on, offering solutions and agreeing the future. It's not (another) place for mod critique.

If your passionate about getting the footy section settled, offer up some suggestions. If not, it's not a thread for you.

Let's all move on now....

Delighted that the LFC thread might re-open. Being slightly detached from it all over here across the water (yes even in today's technology driven world) I did find it very informative of what might be and what is going on on the ground. Some of it though was most defintely cringeworthy, not just to read but surely those involved when they look back must think the same. I'm all for argument but not just for the sake of arguing. Bans however seem to be the only answer, hopefully PH can stay one of the few places where the minority do not ruin it for everyone else.

Castrol Craig was banned
Worth pointing out that Craig was banned several months ago and the issues surrounding his ban continued, infact some would argue those same issues lead us to this point today.

Admin needs to be effective, it needs to identify an issue and resolve it. (Obviously Craig was banned in accordance with PH rules but did things need to get that bad)

But this is the problem .... we've banned people from the threads, we've locked the threads; everyone promises to be on best behaviour .... then a week later back to square 1.

Before we make any rash decisions, I think we should wait to hear what Black Can Man thinks about all this.

He's right about most things and I, for one, await his opinion with bated breath. yes

But that's why we're raising it, to highlight the issue. This is a warning, an open-discussion if you like, to get that point across. Most mod actions are invisible to those not involved.

Yes they did, and I'm not particularly keen on opening up that (aged) can of worms.

Thank you

What would you do if the thread in question was in (say) the TV & Films Forum? Because whatever the answer is to that question should logically be the answer to the question here.

Open about moderation, or just re-opening a LFC thread?

I'm only too aware thumbup

Part of the issue is that some people seem to have very selective memory or are not aware of what's happened historically. Just making sure we know smile

Can we get a sense of order here

This thread is to highlight my disappointment with how some behave in this forum (not any other)

Nor was it created to give a platform for moderation issues in general.

It's a bking if you like, my offer to those involved to change their ways, a warning that no more st will be tolerated. We did it in The Lounge, we'll do the same here.

What I asked for was a show of understanding and for interested mods to show their hand. Nobody is suggesting radical changes to existing rules.

Which is why you (mods) need help. You haven't been effective in identifying the issues, dealing with the issues or allowing the community to have any control. You've let so called "banter" ride, you allow posters to act as wums.

The issue that Craig had a problem with led to the last LFC thread closure even though Craig was banned months ago.


(Please don't take this the wrong way it is meant as feedback.)
