darebear Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 is this really such an issue? and i have to say, in my opinon on-line arguing is a total waste of time. at the end of the day, people are always going to disagree with something you said, or your opinion. and what we shouldn't forget is that sometimes, external influences (like having a bad day at work, or ~ahem~ spilling a can of coke over the keyboard la la la ), can affect the way we would normally, and appropriately respond. echoing other's responses, the mod's have a thankless, time-consuming and difficult task. and i'm sure all of them will agree that they are not infallible, and are human. however, do the rest of us really need to be subjected to wading through page upon page of whinging and whining? get a grip lads. if you have an issue with a mod, keep it private and pm your grievance. if it really is such an issue to you, approach another mod with your concerns. if they're all telling you the same thing, take a look at yourself and your own responses. be a man and just accept that perhaps you're in the wrong? get over yourself. pin had a very good point. READ the rules. they are there for a reason. happy new year all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaniel Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Blimey this one is going on a bit today. My hat goes off to all the MODs who spend their own time going through all these posts to ensure that nothing gets out of hand... Everyone makes the odd mistake, so give the guy a break.... I have not had any probs with Mods todate, but i do try to be careful how i reply to posts sometimes...... Perhaps those who are shouting the most need to be given the responsibility of being a Mod for a while, to see how difficult the job actually is Keep up the Good work MODs as I know that if my Son wants to take a look at the Forum, i know it is in safe hands Cheers Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berettaman1 Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Stuart, I emailed a photo of my breasts and yet I note that this thread has not been closed. If you don't close it pronto it'll be Mr. Winky on the email next. I am warming the scanner up.... Hope youve got macro on your scanner lens Mung !!

ME Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 <YAWN> My missus actually asked me the other night if I had been banned from PW. I explained that I havent but it is very boring in this section recently. It has got very strict on here, with previously widely used harmless schoolboy words being zapped too now. Rock and a hard place Mods. Get strict and no-one posts - apart from drivel like this - bashing the Mods !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Outlaw Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Lets all blame Outlaw!! lets say he started it!!! I can take it, but I do agree with the rest of the members about the mod bashing. Its time to stop, I have been a pain to the lads upstairs but I have taken good advice from the likes of Catamong, Mungler and suprisingly Berrettaman1??? A chill pill was needed, taken and I am Mr Mellow Outlaw with the mods. The reason I used to get the hump is as I have said before, with written text it is very hard to judge moods and emotions, even with the thingies you can add at the end. I have been on here long enough to be able to tell pretty much how people are being when they post. I used to bite all the time but it is due to lack of EQ (emotional intelligence) I have since realised that the lads upstairs(Mods) are running things how "Teal" the owner of the site want it. It is his right to say what goes and he has entrusted the Lads upstairs to do it to the best of thier abilities. If they make a mistake they address it and sort things out. I know they do what is best for the site as I have seen it happen with a mistaken bannishment of a friend of mine. Spoke to Mr C, Axe, Teal and it was all sorted out. There are some members that wont learn or listen and they have been banned before and have come back with a different user ID. Then talked openly about it and get banned again. I personally am looking forward to meeting as many people as possible at the PW meet at Bisley. But I will go out of my way to Shake hands with the mods face to face and put my grudges to bed. I hope they will see it the same way as me and accept it in the way it is to be meant. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
