Can we create one thread where there are no rules? Where posters can lampoon each other and pretty much say anything (except for death threats)? There are certain child training methods that say you just need to let the child unleash his anger and frustration and then he/she will be okay....maybe this would work on an internet forum?
Uhmmm... Sorry, I don't think that's something we'll do here.

Why on earth is a mod giving their personal opinion about another poster in this thread? :eek:

Race Radio hasn't been active here, or even logged on here, for many months. If he decides to return and become active here again, I will treat him in the same fair, even-handed way I treat other active members. No less than that, but also no more.

Up thread it was implied that RR had received favorable treatment here, which is the sole reason I mentioned him. I've no idea whether he was receiving favorable treatment, but was only pointing out that whatever the case he certainly won't be receiving it now, and definitely not from me. The same treatment as everyone else, yes, anything more, no.

Even more reason to just let it go without any further comment...

Why does a moderator tell someone to stop whining and call them a PIA?

....because he was being honest ?....

That's what I was thinking too...

Just so I know when I'm allowed to call people names on here....when does the post not poster rule come into effect?

Just so you know, I was so naming his behavior - "being a" effectively synonymous with "behaving as" - not him. And it definitely was an accurate assessment of his behavior.

"If you're going to stay here, though, stop whining and being such a huge PIA."

Sure...this can be read either way. And I'm not saying your description is incorrect...just some things that are correct aren't exactly allowed to be expressed in a certain way.

So you are allowed to insult people if you think you are being honest
Don't you tell me what I can think.

What I THINK has nothing to do with you, back off! :mad:

Or anyone else for that matter.

Anyone that decides they want to take their shot against a mod because of something they THOUGHT go right ahead, but don't say you weren't warned.

Who exactly is the chief mod or who do we address about mod behaviour because this is getting beyond a joke.

I think Maxiton hit the nail on the head when he asked gjb123 why he sees/treats some posters as adversaries. Same question should be posed to you.
This is not a pissing contest.

You can PM Susan Westermeyer any time you want, and you are correct this is getting to be a joke.

Complaining about someone's thoughts? Seriously? :rolleyes:

who complained about anyones thoughts?

my complaint is about a mod insulting another poster and the support for them because they think they are being honest, is making such a complaint, and why the macho "go right ahead"?

Why did I get banned? Don't like the abuse of power without giving me the right to defend myself. Sadly one of the fundamental rights of democracy doesn't apply here.

Now the ban itself, for trolling?

Fleur was questioning valv piti dislike for something if i'm correct right? Now i applied fleur her own logic to her dislike for sky.

Can you explain me how that's trolling? She questioned valv piti's morality and then i questioned hers. If you ban me for it then why not her?

Don't like the fleur privilige here but i get it, life ain't fair and she's a fun girl
 
The mods in this forum have always operated under the motto, “It doesn’t matter to us what your opinion is, what matters is how you state it.”

No one here is banned, nor have they ever been, solely because they support or dislike any particular rider, team or issue. We have been through this with the Armstrong affair, with Sky/Froome, and many others.

Of course all the mods have their own opinions, and have the right to express them. They obviously do not have the right to moderate the forum based on those opinions. This has never happened, and we will not allow it to happens. Mods are chosen with this in mind.

We are confident that all new and current mods are living up to the standard that was set many years ago.

For those who harp on the matter, and are convinced that the mods here are evil-minded persons who are out to get YOU: a word of advice. Re-consider whether this forum really meets your needs. We are not saying that you should leave, but for your own happiness, peace of mind and blood pressure, you might be better off elsewhere.

* * *

I am posting this as the senior moderator emeritus, having been a mod here since before the forum went public. I am no longer active in moderating this forum, and any complaints sent to me will be forwarded to the active mods for action.
 
I came here tonight... and I didn't know what to expect.
I've seen a lot of people hating me... and I didn't know... what to feel about that, so... I guess I didn't like you much either.

During this fight... I seen a lot of changing:
the way you felt about me...
and the way I felt about you.
In here... there were two guys... killing each other.
But I guess that's better than a million.
What I'm trying to say is... if I can change... and you can change...
everybody can change!

Susan how you can make that statement since you don't check out the forum that much anymore?

Sounds very like a police state where no matter what the police does, it's always right. You don't know anything about the specific situation so maybe you should be quiet unless you really agree with the statement that your mods are always right no matter what. You handpicked them yourselves? You know them all? That's quite a statement otherwise

In my specific situation i did the exact same as fleur, exactly the same. Ask the person at hand "valv,piti". He'll confirm the situation and prove me right. And no i didn't pm him orso, i believe in the man his honesty.

Hey i just pulled a susan with that right? xD

Just because I do not actively moderate does not mean I ignore the forum. You don't know that goes on behind the scenes.

So you know about the specific situation relating to me? I'm waiting for clarification on that

And ask valv.piti about it if you wanna be fair

There is no clarification.

There's nothing to say that will change the fact that you were trolling, whatever we might or might not have said to another member is not something you would have access to.

You don't agree with your ban, that's been communicated now please move on.
