Moderating in Moderation?

[morphgarth]

Yes, the 'bird site does but BO as a site is lacking I feel. As a PAN owner as well as a bird, I find the PAN site lacking in everything, banter and bike issues. Some times no one posts on there for days on end.

Barrie, you ride a Pan as well, I always knew you were a wannabe cop!!b0x1

[Muppet]

But I am a sponsor. Unless you have another view, If so we could discuss Debit payments and other financial records:dunno:

I have obviously violated the rules with thetruly hineous crime of placing an advert.

Muppet eh?

You being a Sponsor means you can post stuff for sale. No question there. For your benefit, to save you the trouble of actually clicking on the link in Goff's post, here are the forum selling rules in their (brief) entirety:

Please adhere to the following posting etiquette:

1. Please do not hijack a member?s advert by posting banter on it. Questions about what someone is selling are fine, but general banter is considered bad etiquette.
2. Please do not post messages about where you can buy a cheaper/ better version of what the seller is offering on someone?s advert.
3. Please do not list adverts for other people. We give this service free to Sponsors, so if someone wants to place an ad, they must be a Sponsor of at least one bike forum or a Super Sponsor. Ads listed for non-members will be deleted.
4. Please do not post links to adverts on eBay or other sites here. If you?d like to sell a product on here, please post the complete advert here, not a just link to another site else when we look back to see how much items sold for (helps with pricing) all we find is a load of dead links.
5. Please try to resolve any problems via PM or other communication before leaving a bad Trader Rating (TR). If it is necessary to leave a bad TR, please confine your comments to the TR system, do not post messages about disputes on the forum. If you feel that there is a fraud in progress that deserves wider attention than that, please contact a moderator who will take the appropriate action.
6. Please try to remember to post in the relevant section.
7. Please do not post any trade adverts on the forum anywhere other than in the Trade Section.

The fact that you went onto other forums posting stuff for sale was picked up by the Mods on those forums who reacted to them as they have done to all other for sale posts. Why should they think they should behave any differently to you? They didn't know you, you were not sticking to the very few rules we have, the acted accordingley, simple. Nothing heinous on your part, no over-reaction on theirs.

parttimepilot. hmmm?

 

[Muppet]

Right so Im being threatened with being banned now am I?

For trying to promote the site, assist a couple of colleagues, and offering a product to the likely audience?

If that really is the case, then fook it. Ban away I hope it makes you feel better ( and a little more important)

Nope, you're not being threatened with anything, so stop being such a drama queen. I'm simply pointing out to you that if someone contiinually breaks the very few rules we have, we will act accordingly.


Banning anyone does not make me feel good, quite the opposite actually, and certainly does not make me feel important. There's really little else to discuss here, but if you really feel you must I'd be happy to do so either by PM or e-mail rather than drag a long and boring thread on any longer than is necessary.

Muppet,

what additional information and or content is this brining into the debate other than trying to get the last say?

I think point 3 hasbeen discussed to within an inch of its life. Just to remind you, in case you missed it, or didn't understand- Most peeps simply advertise items as their own to get round this.

Now why don't you fuck off back under the stone ( or forum) from whence you came as Im tireing of this nonesense slightly.

Hope you dont get too offended in being requested to go forth and multiply, although with your track record I suspect you have developed sufficiently adequate thick skin to shrug it offd34l

 

[R2B2]

Muppet and co....

Etiquette, rules, underlining, emboldening, rules, banning, not acceptable, more rules, blah, blah.....

Fer heavens sake muppet, you guys need to chill out a bit! You are taking this far FAR too seriously.... this is a collective of bikers sites, not one of Mrs Buckets candlelight suppers.

Take a big pill chaps, you are just making yourselves look a bit foolish now....

How much time have spent on this this evening? Get a life dude!

 

[Goff]

Right so Im being threatened with being banned now am I?

No.

You can CLEARLY see that you are not being threatened with a ban - it was a general statement that ANYONE who CONTINUES to post stuff for sale for otehr people risks a ban - it was not aimed at you personally so don't take it as such.
Maybe if you sat back and thought about what was posted before going off on one because you haven't read it properly or bothered to find out the reasoning behind it, then just maybe we wouldnt have this thread.

Only your advert was deleted NOT your POST. Ah it was when I questioned it (you must be personally involved with a moderator or admin to konw this![/QUOTE]

I have NO idea what you are on about here. I did NOT delete your post - i edited it to take out the ad as per instructions. Your original post is still

HERE

Even though you went back and edited it by putting the ad back in AFTER i had told you it was not allowed.

I have NEVER abused any "power" i may have as a moderator and i never will. I like to think i deal with stuff fairly, and i DID explain why i had edited your post. Those folk who have actually met me and got to know me know that im a fairly reasonable person - and i do not do anything without just cause or advice - but i think i have been MORE than patient with this "episode" and my patience is now wearing very thin.
I would appreciate it if this could be capped now, and myself left out of it. If you have any more issues then contact admin direct because i will not have my name dragged about like this again for something that i did in good faith and as directed.

 

[Muppet]

I'm not debating with you, I was asked to look at a thread which was causing some upset. Believe me I have far better things to do with my time than argue the toss with you. Resorting to foul language re-affirms my initial thoughts about you, and I'm sure to others as well.

Night night.

 

[Barrie]

FFS, it's a bloody bike forum. Stop acting like a "Job's Worth"

Well said that man.

 

[Bluey]

are we finished?

 

[Goff]

yeah it is a bike forum. Jobsworth? I dont think so.

I dont think you would be too happy at being called all the names under the sun for no reason other than someone didn't like being told he was breaking the rules. All i asked was that this be left alone now.

Jobsworth? Oh please.

 

[fink]

Apart from that Fink, who the feck are you anyway? I don't recall you being an active member on here before:dunno:

Been here a while just dont post much.




"Prison officer(professional sadistic bastard)currently papershuffling in a desk job."

This funnily enough was you giving a description of yourself.

I apologise to calling you a warden( by gum you folk are touchy about it indeed)
its a bit like calling a police officer a police man.
Or an ambulance technician ,a paramedic ,or both an ambulance driver.

Officer mmmm Some one who holds an office (position)
Warden -------A keeper; a guardian; a watchman.

Only your advert was deleted NOT your POST. Ah it was when I questioned it (you must be personally involved with a moderator or admin to konw this!

I happened to see the ads before they were removed by the powers to be.

Dont go making untrue accusations like that (unless you know something i dont)
No I am just the same as the rest of the folk on BO who pay their subscription and enjoy the usually friendly banter on the forums.



Also I saw the ads and information on them was very sparse indeed for that kind of money I would be looking for a lot more details (see MCN or Auto Trader for examples on how to do it properly).(what has this got to do with the issue?)
Remember ive seen the ads .

 

[Samster]

I'm setting up a bot to post random ads for rotovators and other garden machinery for sale on 6'ers

If moderating and re-iterating the rules is what they enjoy, I'll be giving them what they want. Watch them try to keep up

Hoping for a real quick Bikers Oracle ban, a record even. Biking's gay.

EDIT: even though I was pissing about, it's actually an utter doddle to do..... could be fun in the future. "Forum sabotage!"
