*bursts out laughing*


All right clever clogs...but I bet you simply just clicked onto Ladymuck - right? Just as I have just clicked onto ???? and spied 6179. Or is there another way? Or do moderators receive a special signal (or something) which provides additional information about a user? I am curious...very curious.

Why was the thread removed MP? I presume you know it's content was nothing like a pun whatever way you looked at it.

Moderators have an implant in their skull that allows them to see every user's number of posts. In reality they just click on someone name like those in the outer circle.


HAL, you're painting the forum as if it's a courtroom ... judge this, found guilty that, counsel for the defence etc, etc. I'd like to reassure you it's not, so relax, take off your wig and gown, put your speedos on and dive it, the water's great.


[edited once]

all forums are full of cyber warriors, WUMs, multi character, multi views and multi user-names- this is a small forum and relatively easy to work this out. I'm on a forum of over 3 thousand people and even there you can spot the characteristics. Funny thing is when you meet these WUMs they are really placid and meek
Well it is and it isn't Bluer, I think the fact that it's based on a real geographical community rather than a community of interest makes it a bit different....for instance, at a very quick scroll I've actually met all but 3 posters (that 3 includes your good self) on this thread.

I'm sure everyone can see through the metaphors - and I don't have a hidden agenda here. Moderators take on a certain responsibility for which the majority and I are grateful.


I do not think it is right for them to act as apologists for miscreants who happen to be their personal friends - if they wish to perform such a function their generosity of spirit should be extended to everyone.


In other words, I don't think it's fair to try and have it both ways.

My view is that moderators should moderate impartially but should be allowed to opine - after all they too are members of the forum community and it seems a little unfair to expect them not to express their views. It's not an easy balance, though, and not always done correctly.


In this instance, CrystalClear's thread was pulled, so Mockney's friendship for him didn't stop the appropriate action being taken.


It would be underhand of me not to out myself following that comment

Well surely if they are allowed opinions - including making excuses for friends - unless it interferes with their moderation or the rules of the forum then there is no issue that I can see. If you don't think they should be allowed to post opinions as ordinary posters then I don't think we'd get many moderators. So.


1) Should moderators be allowed their own opinions?


If yes, 2) should these should surely be uncensored as long as they are within the rules of the forum.


Moderating to help 'miscreants' no, however defending or apologising for friends has no contradiction with the roll of moderation as far as I can see.

What Moos said. A lot.


Now please can we let this tedious "inner circle" bullshit drop? There are plenty of circles on here, and they don't all involve moderators by quite a long chalk. There's a Conspiracy Theories thread in the Lounge I think, if people would care to indulge.



Edited to agree with Quids, who is altogether more rational and less exasperated than me.

Right, before this really gets out of hand.


O.K, hands up, I'm the masterm.....er, sorry, trouble-maker behind bigbadwolf, The Eye, Roll Deep and all his merry band of malcontents you're yet to meet.


The moderators who are responsible for the day to day running of this forum - of which there are about half a dozen - are a pretty fair bunch who I'm told have to put up with a lot of stick to aid the smooth running of a forum that offers so much for so little. Basically, it's free and doesn't pay those who volunteer to hold onto the keys whilst the owner is otherwise occupied i.e - making a living, if you can imagine such a thing.


Basically, I don't have a problem with them and generally see it as a great deal of fun trying to sneak about under their noses, but in truth they're probably aware of who I am once I start arsing about. Something I enjoy.


The needless accusations of them being in some sort of coven - which to a certain extent they are - is quite misleading. They all simply have a common goal. Running a message board we all, even if at times excluded, enjoy reading. Have you seen some of the forums out there that have scant moderation? They're a mess poluted with unregulated halfwits who can barely read and write.


That's all. Right, Admin. Get the sack and pistol out, again.


ttfn.

I've no problem with moderators expressing their personal opinions - my point is about one in particular acting as an apologist for personal friends. mockney's excuses for Crystalclear's post in particular - it was inexcusable and rightly pulled. OK, forgive and forget - let's move on. But for a mod to say it's OK because he's my best friend - come on folks!

I know and the only way people, including moderators, know how many posts someone has made is by clicking their name. There's nothing sinister going on.


HAL, I honestly couldn't see through your metaphors, I thought you were serious.

    • My understanding is the "free event" is 100% Gala, nothing to do with the council. Obviously Gala will still make money from the food & drink that they are trying to coerce punters into buying on their social media posts. Their costs will be negligible due to already having the infrastructure in place for Gala. So Gala are trying to appear community minded by providing this "free event", but the real goal is to set a precedent for a fourth day's festival - which surely no one could possibly object to?!? - in preparation for applying (again) for two three-day festivals spread over two weekends. It's only another two days, right, and the site & equipment is already there, so why would anyone object?!? More money for the council, much more money for Gala, win-win right? But yet another week of our park taken away from us, too, and another 18,000 people trampling & littering the park, and another week of disturbance for the native birds & wildlife...
    • Meson Don Felipe on The Cut was my go to place for many years. Though it's now many years since I was there. 10-15 minute walk from the Tate. If you go can you tell me what it's like nowadays?
    • Doubt you would have got much change out of £150.00 for battery and certainly having forked out for it, best to use your car. I recently sold  my car via webuyanycar.com - very pleasant experience & was roughly what I was expecting. Pop your bangers reg jnto their website to get an idea of price - they do send e mails once a fortnight/month just as an aid for you. Easy enough to delete - don’t even have to read valuation. They literally buy any car - if you can’t get it to them, they will charge you to get it there or recommend a co that will do it for you. Must say, mine was a 2014 reg and whilst a bit suspicious, paid extra to get money into my account as needed it for next car but was assured funds had I not gone down route I took would be in my account within 5 days. I now live in the country - every time I have been back to Dulwich and surrounding area, normally get a fine for driving at wrong time or parking at  wrong time so if I drive now, park in West or East Dulwich and do everything else by public transport and walking.  Were I still to be living in ED then before I left was pondering this very issue but since I have been back regularly for health reason I no longer drive but take the train and then buses, walk or Uber. Much cheaper than running a car and had I stayed, that would have been the course I would have taken. I don’t go out everyday, have an allotment or job to go to or family so in my case, would be cheaper not to have a car.  Was truely shocked   at the cost of second hand cars…..but where I now live only has a smattering of buses so no choice but to have wheels to get from A to B etc.          
    • If you don't use the car often then suggest disconnect the battery between use by undoing the earth (negative / minus sign) cable from the battery and the battery will then last longer between use. Remember, central locking, alarm, clock, etc won't work with battery disconnected and wit ours I have to lock the doors with central locking before disconnecting battery as only have key on one door (leave bonnet open before locking doors). Hope this helps
