Speaking in general, not about any current situation, there seems to be too much of the "we volunteered for this position, so you shouldn&#39;t question our decisions" attitude from some mods. The response is often "read the rules, if you don&#39;t like them you can always leave".

i&#39;ve no real problem with anyone questioning decisions, although i&#39;d rather it was done a different way, like by pm

i&#39;ve quoted rules in threads because it seemed like the relevant thing to do, as it seems to be the fashion to question everything that is done - i know some of it is ligitimate but i dont think all of it is. i dont agree that members should be involved in moderation/banning decisions, for lots of reasons

i&#39;ve no problem &#39;stepping down&#39; or &#39;resigning&#39; either, if it&#39;s what most people want then it&#39;s for the best. perhaps a poll for that would be better [/b][/quote]
Noble offer Pol but I don&#39;t think its needed. At least you replied, even if it wasn&#39;t what we want to hear

If anybody should resign.................................

Speaking personally, I wouldn&#39;t want that Pol, I mean you&#39;re quite wrong but at least you are answering people&#39;s queries with honesty and not hiding behind some anonymous log-in.

I noticed quite a few mods are online yet the only reponse has been from you, Ike&#39;s message and a few flippant, throw away remarks from Error.

Speaking in general, not about any current situation

Exactly why I put this, it was a general observation not about the current thread. Sorry if you read it that way, pol.

[Snee]

I&#39;m cool with you, pol.

No need to resign, even tho&#39; we may not agree on this particular issue, I know you do what you think is right. Which is how it should be.

[j_man]

yeah pol, I agree with you too.

no worries lynx, "bandwagons" are a bad term to use as i&#39;ve found out before, and i know that you&#39;re not one to jump on any without a reason

so i&#39;m not saying this is one, but when you said in general, and when i said earlier that not all of these kind of &#39;discussions&#39; imo are ligitimate, it just reminds me of things that could have been dealt with much better by pm

it&#39;s just my opinion that the reason for starting this thread had already been sorted, and then as usual it escalates into something else. the reason being to start this thread was to find out about what happened with the voting - that gets answered then it turns in to questions about banning, which i think are best left to the mods/admin

Good 5th post

i probably should post this in the serious section but it just slipped right into my mind right now before I go to bed

last year we had 3 members jayjawk Gutter and Porkshit who DID ALLOT worse then what Sam has (ask jetje) now all 3 of those members were allowed to come back with new accounts and were given second chances&#33;&#33;

Now some of you people probably don&#39;t know as you weren&#39;t on the board at the time but this time last year in Jule

Pork created an account called niggajaw and gutter jayhawk and pork shared the account and SPAMMED in EVERY single section of the forum with a thread tilted "Balamm is a bitch i want him to smack me and have BOT stick his dick in his asshole"

now tell me something

those 3 were let back (and yeah good there my mates, but where has jauhawk gone lately )

did Sam do worse then that???

I will post it here instead.

Thats a damn good point, so sticking with the rules again?

Very true.

But then again if someone starts a new thread they get the accusation "Why are you starting yet another thread, what was wrong with adding to the one about...".

You&#39;re damned if you do and you&#39;re damned if you don&#39;t. :bart:

good point

but i think the problem with these latest ones is that it concerns a ban. tbh i dont think that ever will or should be a matter for members, for reasons such as .. not everyone knows a members warn level, popularity would come in to it etc etc <- there i had to say that again, or quote some rules

we&#39;re also damned for replying to topics, and damned if we dont

It seems that despite whatever actions are taking, there will always be some controversy about it. Why are all mods not replying here, well the answer is simple and is stated/quoted many times over. It&#39;s the same old tune that gets sung when action is taken. I think that if you are mature enough to post/do wrong, then you should be mature enough to handle the action taken.

This is a neverending saga......................
