Why do mods on here clean up AFTER the event?

[dembethewarrior]

I left a reply to sludge yesterday, he never responded and the whole saga seemed like it had come to a natural end, so why then go in and delete posts? I checked this morning as I wondered why I hadn't gotten a reply, there is no trace of it, yet plenty are allowed to bicker freely on here.

Why are some of us treated differently to others on here?

because they are rubbish at doing the job.

The mods are volunteers. We can’t expect them to be online on this site 24/7.

Exactly, not like the website owner can hold a gun to their head and force them to be online 24/7.

And it's also quite tricky for them to clean up before the event.

Because some post differently to others and go too far more than others and quite frankly embarrass themselves.

Moderating is mostly an after the event responsibility. How can we sort things before they have happened?

The posts between you and Sludge were not bickering. It was pathetic from two grown men.

A few posters are determined to post on everything. It’s becoming an obsession. We’ve had this before. Eventually they burn out or get banned as they spiral out of control.

I’m very liberal in my moderating and like users to be able to self police themselves and enjoy an open forum. But every now and then we get those who just can’t help themselves from becoming centre of attention.

They use their anonymity to troll and bully.

It’s not a right to post on here. It’s a privilege, and privileges can be removed.

Matt is the only active mod isn’t he? And then Mike obviously with the tools to change and delete posts.

Probably worth getting 1 or 2 new mods in just to fill the gaps when the current ones aren’t on.

I am yet to see any moderation on here.

I reported a post by Organ Morgan for falsely claiming that Covid deaths were faked.

Your defence of his post was that there were reports of people being hit by a bus and having Covid as their cause of death - which is not true in the slightest.

It's concerning that the person in charge of moderating takes that line.

I was called a c**t by a poster a couple of days ago. That hasn't been removed.

I was accused of being "on the spectrum" by another poster yesterday that was lashing out. That hasn't been removed.

Personal attacks and posts about faked deaths are fair game.

Which begs the question: Where is the line?

Wow. I didn’t expect this whinging, grassing type
post from you. You dish it out but can’t seem
to take back.

If you can’t take it then maybe you shouldn’t give it out.

I have never stooped as low as the examples given above and wouldn't care to.

I was up my mums ( she has just got out of hospital after almost 2 weeks ) then I had to drive home, took me over 2 hours, I got in the house and got changed into my football training kit and went to do a coaching session

I read the posts, they looked crap if we are being honest, so I deleted them, Its easy to forget we are grown men on here

Stooped so low as calling someone a kent. :hehe:

You are one of the most passive aggressive posters on here. If you are so sensitive maybe you shouldn’t get embroiled in these petty Internet squabbles in the first place. :shrug:
