generally I think if anything it's a little under-moderated
I've already expressed my feelings on that one - but the Admins wouldn't let me declare open season on them the past 5 times I've asked. I'll try again soon, see if they'll give me it for my christmas pressie
I'm fairly sure the mods prefer people to report stuff rather than front it up and sort it out by telling another member they are an utter t*** to their faces - in the same way that the police prefer you to report crime rather than knee capping the criminal, that's not about cowardice , it's about acting like a responsible individual instead of a mindless thug
There is also some irony in thinking you are acting manfully by backing it up on a forum where you are completely anonymous (that's the generic you - not brash specifically) fronting it out as an anonymous gobs***e and causing unecessary rows and squablling isn't being a man - its being a keyboard warrior
Problem is, we can't see every thread that's on here - there's only usually half a dozen of the staff at most online at any one time - and, well - frankly, there's a LOAD of threads getting posted to. Unless it's a thread about something that catches our eye due to our own personal interests, the chances of simply wandering into a thread and spotting things as they "kick off" (generally the best point to jump on any trouble) are slim. So, we do kind of rely on RTMs to help us notice the problems... and, sadly, as some people bear grudges/run vendettas/indulge in on-and-off-forum bullying that have been on-going for months-years there are times when it's not always all that clear who's started things, but it is generally clear when someone has called the other a knob...
but also feel they must get p***ed of with some of the trivial pish they get bombarded with at times
how kindly would the mod team look on a RTM saying - get rid of this member, he/she's an imbecile?
I think some people are just more sensitive and do not necessarily have the vocabulary to express themselves. RTM is easy way out.
I do not think this forum is over moderated. There are several posters on here who really wind me up sometimes, interestingly they are usually the same people who are also frequently very helpful. I also think that I would like to meet some of those who occasionally wind me, not for a row, but to have a beer and an interesting debate. It would be fun. Life is just too short to worry about who posts what. Who really gives a F@@K?

I must confess I started this post out of a bit of devilment but it is something I sometimes find a tad irritating.
I 100% agree with the above and wouldn't mind meeting one or two of here myself for a beer and a chat.
Anyway thanks for the good debate and making this the biggest thread I have ever started. I must try the same on a photography related topic.

Aye, but I've not been to one................

Shall I say me goodbyes now then
Have any Muslims ever attended a "meggameet"?

Yeh, we can start our own version of TP. To be a member you have to be a racist, homophobic, misoginistic, right wing, facist, uneducated, knuckle trailing, troll of a thug and any other effin stereotype you wish to chuck around.
I suspect that matt isn't a muslim though based on the amount of booze he put away a the first one

Moderators are only human (I think....???)
We do try and take a liberal approach, but give some people an inch and they'll takegenerally I think if anything it's a little under-moderated
The ISIS thread has been closed now. Just as it was getting back on an even keel.
Bet it was the fault of the Judean Peoples front

I'm fairly sure he's too left wing for you... you can't go contaminating your gods own forum with lefty pinko guardian reading liberal academics now can you
No one likes banning / suspending anyone.

You're still here aren't you?Nope..don't believe you
Sometimes they cant help themselves.You're still here aren't you?
Sometimes I / we just delete posts silently rather than warn / suspend,
Unfortunately the only way some people learn is an extended holiday though and even then come back and repeat the "offence"
Sometimes you just can't help people
Friday night is always a safe betI'm running a book on when the next anti Muslim topic makes an appearance.

Good odds available...
Place your bets!
LOL but I think the staff have a pretty good handle on that, it would be unfair to take your moneycan give you good odds on member & day combination bets.
Too late for that Peteperhaps a separate one on which topic will next be hijacked into an anti muslim/immigrant rant

Good idea. Also, for the more adventurous, how long it runs for before closure.
