More than unfair, its as chaotic as a kid who's eaten a 10 layer cake made of nothing but sugar, who then gets a bag full of insulin 10 posts later.
The Cycling News forum is still looking to add volunteer moderators with. If you're interested in helping keep our discussions on track, send a direct message to
In the meanwhile, please use the Report option if you see a post that doesn't fit within the forum rules.
Thanks!

darwin553 said:Ultimately, the problem comes from the freedom for moderators to be able to express a view. Invariably I have found from my experience on forum websites, and CN is really no different, is that they are unable to completely devoid themselves of the views they hold to be able to make an impartial decision when issuing a punishment. Moderators can beat their chest all they like and say they can separate themselves from their own personal opinions but really they can't.

Maybe in this case my feeling was, as they are regular members who have stated they are fine with it, an edit of the posts and a reminder to keep language civil, even among friends, would be best? The posters seem to feel it was a conversation rather than a fight. Although if someone reported a post that's a different kettle of fish.
You catch more flies with honey than vinegar.
And, of course if this has been done before and it is still persisting my point is invalid.

Why don't you guys understand that when we ban someone the reason can be more than a single post?Fearless Greg Lemond said:So, the hogster gets a week [for trolling] for calling Race Radio on his trolling, gets named a troll by Race Radio and that's all just fine?
Well, well, well, how about that for some double standards?
Action = reaction

There was no answer in any of your late posts. The last one, in particular, was definitely a request.ElChingon said:I provided an answer, you asked questions, I answered the questions, you kept at it as if you did not understand the, then went as far as to prove my point. So who's trolling?
