Don't you think picking that comment out of the contrast of all the stuff that flies back and forth in the Clans forum is a bit like picking straw out of cow poo and complaining that it's too dry? I.e. completely missing the point and the bigger picture.

my point was about moderation and the moderators ability to encourage fair comments. If the moderator has no idea about diversity and equality and is in fact themselves saying statements that are sexist etc - how can they be expected to moderate appropriately and effectively?
people have been complaining about unfair and oppressive moderation. i am not 'blaming' the moderators as such, i think there should be a level of training and guidance and a transparent system.
i have had threads deleted for stating this, which indicates to me an air of defensiveness and inability to reflect on the part of the moderators. its a fair comment and not rude in any way
it may be a straw in poo to you but to me, this point just highlights the issue regarding inappropriate moderation.
For heavens sake, this is a website for playing games on, and we're all anonymous. The volunteers are also anonymous, after all they're playing on the site too. Why the big lawsuit deal over what words are used in a moderator post? They have off days just like any other player on the site, their "moderator" posts just don't happen to have a handy alert button. Get over it!

I have to correct you here: 😛 😉 😉
We are not all anonymous...Do you forget Phlabby's BBQ'S that people from this site went to. They are all known to each other now. 😉
Also, there have been meets in the past that people have been to also.
Moderators should always be careful with their words, as they set the example for the rest. If their going to call names, it would be kind of hypocritical to remove posts with name calling wouldn't it?

You can actually alert a moderator post 🙂 (as long as you are a subscriber)

There is a "RHP constitution regarding the right to speech"?
