So the derby is approaching and excitement is no doubt starting to mount. It is spilling over into silliness across a number of threads already. Now the result of the derby may provide you with an opportunity to revel in victory and mock the defeated - but slightly less so if you've been banned for a fortnight from here. Hopefully that should provide ample incentive to post in a mostly constructive and sensible manner, over the next couple of weeks at least. Look at it from my point of view - ask yourself 'would Mild Rover's Easter weekend be slightly better if I was temporarily banned from the Rovers board?'. If the answer is 'yes', then you should be avoiding giving me or the other mods any reason to suspend your posting rights.
Conversley it may mean you don't have the opportunity to take the peez out of them

So if you don't like what we say we get banned? Surely decisions like this should be made in the interests of the board and not individual moderators!

I thought that, so if you constantly disagree with a mod your banned, who monitors the mods posts..
Not implying MR is like that as I find him a sensible mod tbf.

No. In the next sentence I pointed out that I need a reason to ban people. I actually don't want to ban anybody, but if things carry on in the direction they were heading yesterday, IMO, it would be in the interests of the board to consider that option. It was a warning that I felt things were heading in the wrong direction. I wouldn't ban people for expessing an opinion that I dislike (short of racism or similar stuff covered by the AUP) - but if people consistently post in a destructive, inflammatory or negative manner, even if the underlying opinion might be valid, that becomes a problem and stifles discussion.

Far be it for me to defend Obergruppenführer Mild Rover (but I may as well try and score a few points as I undoubtadley will be adding to the rubbish on here pre Derby) but I think the salient point of his post was the sentance after the one you highlighted.

He clearly states that he isn't going to ban people just because he doesn't like what they say.
EDIT: As I said, I don't need to defend Obergruppenführer Mild Rover, he's done it himself whilst I was on the phone.
If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

We are answerable to admin. Anybody who clearly crosses the AUP line should be warned/banned. In less clear cut cases, previous good behaviour and value added is likely to be considered. This is subjective, I admit. However, if you (not you specifically ) suspect that I might think you don't have much credit left, now is not a good time to be posting incautiously.
Anybody who wishes to sensibly discuss this further should pm me.
