Closing threads - would you ever stop it !

But the rules can be misinterpreted, sometimes intentionally and maliciously so and I'm aware of at least two instances where they have been but I can't discuss them because of the "no discussion of moderator decision in the open forum" rule.

you still have option to write PM to moderator and to 2 admins: Surfcrest and me...

but I don't want multipage-wars on "open forum" after each moderation act
- "I'm innocent",
- "You are rule-breaker"
- "he is innocent
- "he is rule-breaker"

there are enough other wars...

"colors" are described in rules... everyone accepts them at time of registration



that's how forums work... is it new for you?

No, that's not how forums work. "Personally abusive" is too broad and relative and can be easily misused by an unpoliced moderator to suppress someone they have a beef with. There needs to be a system of checks and balances for absolute power corrupts absolutely.

So, where you found "personally abusive" in forum's rules?

I was referencing bobsaigon2's remarks (see post #56) where he said, "The owner or moderators have every right and duty to determine what is personally abusive and remove such posts, as they see fit." and a moderator has misused rule 4.7 and rule 3.2.1.4 to justify this and issue red cards.

I don't think you are echoing the thought of all of the board members. A handful at most ?

Agreed. One shouldn't attempt to speak for all or even most members in order to support our own prejudices. Unfortunately, you and a447, who liked your post, have no credibility on this issue whatsoever having done exactly that on at least one occasion ie claiming to speak for the entire membership when you were really speaking for your individual selves. I'll post the relevant links tomorrow. My bf is calling me to come to bed. Night.

Anyway say what you all want Moses has basically said to one and all "tough shit, if you don't like it / my rules then you can simply can fuck off as I don't care" - I guess he can't be much clearer than that. But lets not at least put up any pretence then that it's any other way than that with talk of rules and moderation any longer, Neal is dead, long live Moses ( it seems)

"tough shit, if you don't like it / my rules then you can simply can fuck off as I don't care"

It's certainly the impression that's coming across
