Is heavy handed moderation appropriate for this board?

Not quaint, arsenal. What you did here during your reign was sabotage of this board. You wanted to take SGT down. And for what?

Your reign should not be forgotten, it should stand as a warning, one person, dedicated and driven by grudges is able to take down the whole board.

Now now, arsenal may be a big queen but do you really need to rub it in by referring to his tenure as a moderator here as his reign?

Regime! How delightfully quaint.

And specifically chosen to highlight that great obsession of US foreign policy - regime change, where power-crazy autocrats are thrown out to make way for a kinder, gentler set of rulers

Scottish Guy's profile says he's been "Temp Suspended." He has stated on more than one ocassion that if that happened he wouldn't be back. So, it will be interesting to see what happens when the suspension is lifted.

Is that like when someone is appointed a moderator, and says that they'll only do it to a specific date, and then just carries on past the date until they have to be removed?

... until they have to be removed?

Carried out kicking and screaming would be more apposite

Why has Scottish been banned? Temporarily?
5300 posts, 1866 likes ... sounds like a rather loyal member to me.

Ahhh... could it be the dreaded Number 4.8 on Moses' bedroom door:

I was going to ask the very same question but was waiting to see if the definition of "temporarily suspended" meant hours, days, weeks or until whoever suspended him decided to try and undo that........either way as Smiles says it must have been something "shockingly bad" for the management to suspend such a long standing member.

And lets hope they don't make the mistake of "this can't won't be discussed as it's a moderation issue" as that would be a very foolish way to interact with existing members of course in relation to how they're treating other members, especially as moderation wise the board is running quieter and smoother than it has in several months so one would wonder why the "just leave things well enough alone" thought process wasn't used perhaps instead of Mods creating a problem where it "appears" there wasn't one in the first place ?

So Mods / Moses - anyone care to elaborate perhaps as maybe this was all your ( stupid) infarction robot and not a human being otherwise it appears to make little sense to the uninitiated and us great unwashed.
