hardly an acccurate or honest poll is it??

as soon as you put my name there in the very next post you all but insured a clean sweep in your favour

now if you were impartial and left me out of it................................

but then again i dont suppose you actually wanted to know the truth and now we never will.

5 votes for yes

5 mods on the forum.......................coincidence????

Smelly, honey, there are only three mods online and I’m not even sure Vic is “here”?

So now it’s not mods, it’s a “sycophant”. Do make up your mind so that your own argument holds some weight dearest.

One mod is over 'zealous' in dishing out unjustified bans, which often have nothing to do with the post, but more to do with his dislike of the poster/s.

AH...you are beginning to see half the point Andy....now grow up and understand the rest of it

often it is not "the post" as such, and certainly rarely the opinion posted, BUT neither is it a like /dislike of a poster.....the second part yo are looking for is "disruptive behaviour...." trouble making

YOU of course consider anyone who's "opinion" differs from yours to be "trouble making" ......I dont...however I DO consider deliberately provoking or attempting to provoke another poster into a "flame war" to be "trouble making"

That's utter bollocks, and you know it.
I am as diametrically opposite to someone like Nicko as it. possible to get. Opposing politics, opposing Brexit.
But we have been having a friendly and respectful chat offline.

Well, so far we've got one vote that we favor the left and another that we favor the right, so that's right where we want to be

I voted "not at all"... and think that the "progressive" left agenda and those who promote it, are heavily favoured...!


I would be interested to know who voted "yes" in above poll...?

Fuck me dead, a point we can agree on

I voted Yes they are fair and all of them have placed me in the basement

It would help a great deal, if the four people (so far) who voted “not at all” would tell us why.

IT'S A TRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!

stay away boys, and dont answer.

anytime a woman says "so what do you think is not working in our relationship", its a goddamn bear trap and one ive seen and avoided a thousand times and more.

besides eddie its a poll not a questionaire, respect our voting privacy, no one knows who voted for what lets not start outing folks. you never knew who voted "not at all"

could be anybody.

;

"so what do you think is not working in our relationship".

Don’t think I’ve ever asked that. Has that happened to you many times?

On the basis that somebody has to do the job, and that "somebody" isn't going to be me, I voted "yes."

And why not? I have no complaints about the way things are run.

Yup, the mods are very fair.

Voted.

I voted yes. Even though I disagree with some of their opinions or views on issues, they do a fair job in sometimes difficult circumstances. I wouldn’t do it for all the bacon in the world.

Why do you think that?

Also, looks like the Yes voters have been more open about their votes than the Not at all voters

I haven't and won't vote, though generally believe are fair as can be.

Talking about Mod's , where is Veya ? Has he got married and is on Honeymoon ?

No

I don't stick around long enough for that shit test

I voted ''not at all''

I thought smelly wouldn't even bother to vote just to be contrary

I thought everyone else would either say leans too left or leans too right or mods are fair

i wanted to be the turd in the hamper

but when i checked there were already 4 other turds in there, so meh,,,,,

Hi Gelico

Okay, lets put this to the test

Do you think any of the moderations against me were unfair?

I dont think they were and all of them has done this to me

Sometimes, in the past I have whinged over this, but do not have a leg to stand on

So who has been let off in your opinion?

Dont forget Wolf has been basemented many times. In fact Quill has been on a number of occasions. So has Andy. All being left wing.

So who on the right has faced unfair moderation?

Granted I will take a level of mistakes that could possible happen, but how many based on the actual rules?

I have in fact stood up for people that wished me dead, claimed I fucked my mother etc. There is only one instance I thought was unfair, when somebody doxed me, which the first time, saw nothing happen, but the reality, the worst offenders do get moderated and can understand some slack for posters, who generally dont break the rules.

Is that a fair summary?

Don't forget, people are human and do make mistakes, but you cannot fault the mods, by standing by each other universally on decisions. Which they need to be. Even when a decision may seem harsh. I have been a mod in the past and it sometimes does come down to interpretation, but I do not see many incidents where they get this wrong. I would say they are accurate 95% of thge time based on the rules.

Frankly, I think there is too many rules, but that is my opinion.

I certainly dont see many occasions, where they have gotten the rules wrong. You may disagree on this based on leeway, but that again is personal opinion.

You realize you sound just like the stereotypical whiny snowflakes that you hate so much?

Maybe you have more in common with them than you think!

Maybe we mods need to get woke about which micro-aggressions trigger members of the smelly-bandit community (SBC)!

oh ben

you dont get it do you??

when i was a boy and my mom used to try and punish me by confining me to my bedroom, she said it never worked cause when she came to say all was forgiven, she would find me asleep, and she said that theme continued throughout my childhood, she could never punish me because i would always turn it to my advantage.

you tried to punish me by attaching a ball and chain to me ankle, all you did was give me a wrecking ball.

yeah im gonna hit you with it, and clealry im being an irritant, which is fine by me.

besides i like calling you and your praetorian guard out on your bullshit, i always enjoy seeing the hypocrite at work.

I also used to either sleep or just find a really good game to play. Punishments rarely work on me either to be honest.

Same here! I like a little alone-time tbh, and I think most intelligent people can figure out something interesting to do on their own.

actually i agree with smelly

it wasn't fair that he was automatically basemented without being challenged in any way

it wasn't fair that he spent at least 10 days in there with your paltry excuse being 'i forgot'

it wasn't fair that even on his return no one bothered to find out what his post motives were

in fact it's shit imo

oh and incidentally, ''I like a little alone-time'',,,,,,pffft, just own it and say ''I like a cheeky wank now and again''

Oh well, I already owned up that I made a mistake in leaving him basemented for 10 days. I'm not going to grovel.

I'm certain enough that smelly knows what he was doing that I don't regret punishing him, but I'd have left him there for 2 days had I not forgotten about him.

And lastly, get your mind out of the gutter, gels

How was it not fair?

Can you explain his comment to compare clearly Africans to a chimp?

All you are doing gelico, is taking his view point, negtaing the fact. Only before this on another debate. He had said how much he lacked any view of Africans in a previous debate

The site has a clear rule on racism and he is overtly racist many times and not moderated on his views

All you are doing is taking his wrod as fact

Maybe you can say how what he said was not racist, based on his already known views of people from Africa

You then have to ask, whether you are being fair yourself, knowing he is in fact racist and openly about this.

Frankly, he has suckered you in to feel sympathy for him

sure, i know you did. but did you apologise for forgetting about him (that's not grovelling, that's being manly)

also, did you challenge him on his post, or had that suddenly lost all importance?

And lastly, get your mind out of the gutter, gels

I can't, Ben. It's been there for years and I'm way past any kind of redemption

I would’ve asked him what the post meant first. I already said this.

Gelico, I am an ardent supporter of israel and watched smelly celebrate the deaths of Palestinian childred, that died in a bus crash.

Some people like smelly look for attention over what they say and he often has argued for racial differences that have no biological bases

You need to put 2 and 2 together

It does not matter whether he believed this, his intent was clearly to be racist

Would he have said the same to some Boers?

I would also add Gelico

Are you basing this off this one decision?

Like I said, what other decisions, do you disagree with?

Not going to have a go, but would love to understand what you think he meant, compared to what he really meant?

He had been telling quill on a different thread about not caring about Africans.

Either he is a racist baiter or very simple minded

i also think smelly is a whiny arsed bitch at times

My time here is set in stone and the timer is running, I am allowed to have some fun before the sands run out.

I don't whine, whining would be...............storming off in a huff and deleting your account perhaps???

ooooh, smelly, how mysterious you sound,,,,I like it


well, you could close your account quietly and drift off

or you could do a massive flossie mcflounce routine and close your account with a great deal of noise and ceremony

or you can carry on banging on and on about the same thing, knowing it is pointless

or you can accept that you have now successfully demonstrated that the mods treatment of you was not fair and move on

what is it exactly that you want?

I'm no sycophant. It's the option you'd automatically choose by default - if you have no issues with the mods.

It sounded so reasonable that I didn't even bother looking at the other choices.

What for? What punishable things did you do as a little boy, SB?  

Sending a child up to his/her room is beneficial to the mum cos if she's fed up or exhausted, it's good to get a misbehaving kid from under her feet, and out of sight.

IE it's not just a punishment, it's sometimes a way of giving the mum some peace & quiet for a few precious minutes.
