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.

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.

      Holland & Barrett is coming to Lordship Lane

      By jazzer · Posted

      Time will tell if H&B are loved or loathed, the footfall they get and generate will determine if they stay or go. That's the nature of businesses, they come and go dependant on usage. Examples are M&S, Poundland Local, Co-op, Superdrug, Mons, the chain restaurant/takeaways, the chain Estate Agents, Toolstation, Screwfix to name a few.  As much as people would like to see Lordship Lane remain a high street of independents, it is becoming clear that due to Landlords hiking rents, some are unable to survive. This leaves empty units which some of the chain brands considering it to be worth a "punt". I'd have thought that businesses operating in shops is a better alternative than a high street with multiple empty units, but what do I know, they are just thoughts on the subject.   Take a look at Croydon and Bromley where what were once thriving high streets are in decline.  I have to say that some of the prices charged by the independents are eye watering, and incomes i'd have thought have to be substantial to afford their prices. Personally I'd love a Lidl to open on what was the site of the Harvester, but I guess that would get shouted down, oh the thought of Lidl in Dulwich. Whatever next.

      By Cancerian · Posted

      I don’t know what the shop was originally next to the big St Christopher’s but if Holland and Barrett are taking it over then surely it’s good to have a choice on Lordship Lane? The Camberwell H&B is always empty but the Brixton branch busy.  I remember when the Marks & Spencer food shop was Iceland? Now the M&S is a very busy store and at the time regenerated the high street!

      Nor would I have done, but it came up when I googled John Lewis reviews. Do you not trust TrustPilot reviews? Even allowing for the fact that many people only post reviews when they have had poor service, 27% one star reviews is indicative of something wrong, I would say. That's 27% of 76,392 reviews. That's an awful lot of people who don't  think the service they got from John Lewis was even worth two stars, let alone more. Screenshot attached.
