Would you like me to stay out of here? I think I have been the most vocal carp in here.
And my wanting anyone to enter or exit a discussion holds absolutely no weight, but no, I'd rather you continue. You're doing a helluva job.

Originally posted by NordlysQuite right, I am also free to point out that I hadn't asked their opinion when they do reply.
It's a public forum, so everybody is free to reply, even if you direct a question to a specific person. You are using an ivanhoe technique here.
I've never followed ivanhoe's posts, so didn't know it was already a practiced technique, but I shall go see if I can pick up any tips on how to employ this argument in future.
Originally posted by NordlysI am of the opinion that if this were across the board, then more would be made public.
Belgianfreak already gives warnings and explanations, so if you were right, this would already be happening. Stangbo has brought it to the forums, but do you really think he would have kept quiet if he hadn't been warned and given explanations? Otherwise, I can't see that belgianfreak's bans get more public discussions than Phlabibit's.
I'd be happy to see it piloted, as 1) I can conduct myself well enough in the forums not to be at risk of getting banned, and 2) I couldn't give a monkeys about the modding rules really, I'm just trying to oppose the arguments being put forward for sweeping changes to be made.
As Stocken has posted, there are clearly a number of different views on what would work and what won't work - so much so that it'll be impossible to please everyone.
Originally posted by SJ247Not at all. I disagree with the original decision; so do you. The only difference between us is that you've thrown your toys out of the pram and are threatening not to renew your subscription because of a storm in a teacup.
You agree and disagree, conveniently equally.

Originally posted by rhbI always thought that to be true of myself, too. It didn't work. Now I know it could happen again any time, no matter how much I try to avoid it.

I really can't see why there should be more public reactions if all moderators used belgianfreak's policies, as there aren't more reactions to his bans now. My prediction would be that the number of complaints in relation to the number of bans would stay about the same, but since there would be fewer bans, there would also be fewer complaints. But only trying it would show what would happen.

Originally posted by dottewellIt's not this instance alone that turns me off, it's the setup of having a very abrasive subgroup of a group, which is led by a moderator. I've been subjected to the nastiness repeatedly, and was not the first stonethrower. My clan has been attacked as well.

It reeks of favoritism (IMO), and is (IMO) not the way the place should be run.
Wait a second, let me find my fish-shield.
