Why do mods on here clean up AFTER the event?

Re: Why do mods on here clean up AFTER 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.

What has sludge got on you?

What a cop-out.

I quite like the way it’s left there so the reasonable people can see clearly who the idiots are, in case we’d forgotten…..:hehe:

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

Didn't you notice that nobody had carried on after my last post and it was dead in the water? Surely only "ongoing" spats need to be policed.

No need to have a reason why you’re not available. You shouldn’t be expected to be stepping in whenever needed.
I think it further backs up the need for more than 2 moderators in the event that 1, or both, of you and Mike aren’t available for whatever reason.

There’s plenty of good discussions on a variety of topics on here, but some threads are pointless to read when there’s more posts bickering and shit slinging than posts based on the original thread. The CCFC accounts one yesterday for example.

The point being is he didn't need to step in.

I made the last post as far as I'm aware, sludge didn't reply? So if it's dead in the water why "step in"

Utterly pointles.

Just means people start another thread, like this one, asking questions, which has now seemed to start another little spat.

Like I said, anything "in action" so to speak then yeah step in, try and message the oones involved as well, but if it's all over just leave it...

Which is my point. A couple more mods increases the chance of someone being online to nip it in the bud if a thread goes sideways.

On more than one occasion I’ve been reading threads where discussions are left unfinished because there’s 20+ posts from 2 or 3 people having the same old arguments.

Not much by way of consistency around here is all I will say.

This is a fair point.

I'm not the only one that's noticed how inconsistent the mods are though.
I appreciate it's something they do in their own time, I don't agree we don't need them that definitely is a cop out I agree with Tito on that one.

Some get away with murder, I know I'm a nuisance on here I'm quite self aware in that fact, but I can guarantee whoever I argue with was arguing before I came along, they've argued in my absence and they'll argue after I've gone. But some get away with it. Which is my gripe.
