Not really mate its more to do with not having to read posts by idiots who have a soul aim of hyjacking and constantly destroying threads.

I never have, so they just toll the line on here then?

I agree bud, some times I wonder what you have to put to be banned.

Evening all.

I'm not allowed to use the ignore function. If I don't want read somebody's posts I have to ban them. I do however need something approaching a just cause to do that.



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.

Let's face it mild rover if the majority of 'trolls' are banned on here they'll just post on the hdm site so they won't be bothered!



So ban them any way.

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!



It's like when you're at school and the headteacher confiscates your ball because one of the fat kids got hit with it at play time.

if you cant stand the heat

On the rare occasion i pop over there, i have to say that there are some good debates.



Heaven forbid if you disagree with Redroo or Sextons though





Oh and one user called Andy talks complete bollox 24/7

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.

who could andy be?

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 [iafter[/i 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.

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.

Any compalints agsinst Mods go via Admin



Who then disregard it and tell you the Mod was right

that will be a first for a Mod, especially a Hull one

Mild Rover to be banned for taking a thread completely off topic?

Oh, I don't know none of them seem that bad, I've only ever posted a couple of times on the Hull board anyway so have no experience of your side of the river. I occasionally have mine edited on here, which is mildly irritating but ateotd they perform a function that is required that I really couldn't be bothered to do myself.



I shall now PM Obergruppenführer Mild Rover to check my Derby credit rating!

Nobody ever said RL Fans was a democracy

This is why world wars were fought!... oh and derby games

Deary me, why not finish reading his post before you jump in like an idiot

Hutchie - Gone forever.....

Don't worry son after good friday most of these duller trolls will be on the sack Agar thead on there own forum.

Charity boxing match, me v you (hutchie).
