Is it unreasonable to offer a candidate some friendly advice? Then again I rather think we're used to being accused of running some sort of dictatorship under mass censorship  Misanthrope.. That's rather harsh  Then make your friendly advice sound more like friendly advice than some kind of diktat!! Well you are rather down on people at the moment!! ...... would likening you instead to the boards overly fussy mother be any better!!  I did the first time, then this thing appeared and I thought the manner in which it was started should continue Gee glad we're not into over generalisations here Aside from this, point me out an example from 'at the moment'........................... An overly fussy mother would give you little buggers a clip round the ear for being so damn irritating  |

So what if Spozz had offered this advice as a member rather than as a mod? |

Why is there a need for all the defensiveness, it does smack a little of 'here's that super toy you've wanted Johnny, but you can't have the batteries' I do agree that the moderators should be completely impartial, because they are in a position of influence. Therefore their input is not fair, as we the members are the voters. I hate saying the obvious but it does seem necessary Well said Hurls!! Although I didn't think that by and large you favoured democracy!! Mate, I think my suggestion is the only way to stop people getting uptight etc., I am in favour of running a smooth ship. And it's clear this is whats needed here. Still time will tell eh |

Censor the mods then? It's all a right to free speech, I wouldn't say I'm in a position of more influence, that's for the members to decide but I'm hardly holding a knife to your throats telling you how to campaign and who to vote for. BW's argument is based on nothing more than a thread being locked and suddenly I'm accused of all sorts from nothing. I'll repeat why the defensiveness, personally I thought fair play to whoever get this. However some reactions to simple questions begs the question is there something sinister amist and will this be dealt with fairly. This is a messageboard, and all of the goings on are conjecture! Should I know apologise for defending myself, and I suppose the 'internally democratic' board? Perhaps it was a bit strong but if someone, hypothetically speaking, spat in your face, you wouldn't just carry on as if nothing had happened. There was no simple question by the starter of this thread and the tone was set. I go offline and come back to him leaving petty insults.. Give an inch, take a flippin' mile. |

OK your job is to make certain that a formal discussion happens without problems and follows the rules of 606.
It's not professional to involve yourself, if you want your decissions to be respected!

Well I'll certainly know who to go to when I need someone to tell me how to do the job This wasn't a discussion to start with, it was a sideswipe at Lolly, well me actually so I'm involved before the discussion starts. It'd be rude to ignore someone when they're talking to you, would it not? Ha, either way I can't win here. |

Heh, wound up. This isn't being wound up, this is defending myself, nothing more, nothing less. |

But perception is important in life and if you take an authoritarian tone, then that becomes how you're perceived!! ........ just friendly advice though!!  There was Cav the other day ......... and it seems to be the general response to pretty much most things I post!! We're not irritating we're lovable rogues!! ;D You couldn't clip me round my ear ........ I'm bigger than you!! ;D |

The hole point of the matter is that POG has not directly asked me to do anything for him!!!!! The second point is that if my voice is silenced then I will endeavour to make it heard - lock this thread and I will start a new one. Thirdly as a moderator you are supposed to be impartial, therefore by commenting on POG's campaign as you have done is nothing more than discrimination. I went OFFLINE, that means, by some definition, that one cannot post as one is not logged in. Or didn't you notice? Hahaha, sorry but your 'points' just smack of arse and elbow Who said anything about POG asking you to campaign? If you want to campaign for him, that's up to you. You really are missing the blatantly obvious The thread that you posted on before was locked because there as no need for any other messages to be posted under it; had anyone else posted, I would've suggested the same, that it be locked. LOL discrimination I've also commented on numerous other candidates and the way they have conducted themselves, don't think you're getting special treatment. I am being impartial, I'm actually offering some friendly advice but if you don't want to take it, that's fine.. [/b] What's your un-friendly advice like  ;D Don't see any point for a ballot - I rest my case |
