qwer's attempts at sockpuppetry are up there with serfla in terms of subtlety.

Re:

Most of the bans seem quite fair imo. There's certainly enough to do for the new mods.

I agree, I'm mostly impressed.

Re:

I bet mods dread it when Froome and Sky have a day like today!

I can assure you that we were VERY busy. lol!

Yep, his/her attempt to sneak by us with the qwerSCP sockpuppet almost fooled us...

Looks like you picked the wrong week to start being moderators

[King Boonen]

Thanks for the work mods, it must be hard to go get thrown straight in the deep-end and I don't envy your position at all. There would probably be a lot more bans if I were a mod (hence why I would never do it! ).

 

[LaFlorecita]

I see the mods are very busy with handing out bans and editing and deleting posts, a bit on the extreme side but it'll get better soon when their enthusiasm lowers a bit I hope

 

[King Boonen]

Extreme? Extremely lenient more like...

 

[djpbaltimore]

I think it has been more strict this month, but that is due to the fact that the mods are more active in the forum. Overall, I think it is a change for the better. I hope they keep up the good work.

 

[King Boonen]

It becomes more strict because, as usual, people start playing the "How far can I push the line with obvious clinic references in the PRR section game" and it's extremely annoying. It's always worse during the Tour and always when Sky are doing well. I wouldn't want to be a mod because anyone who tried that would be given a weeks timeout and I'd be sacked


We've been asking for more mods for ages, the new ones seem to be doing a very good job

I think it is wonderful that we have mods working to clean up this place . Thanks to all mods!

Here, here! It's just a shame there are so many people they have to ban for not following simple rules, just because a rider they don't like wins.

Well there are many that break the rules even when a rider they hates loses LOL.....

Is this the thread you mean, Zam?

viewtopic.php?f=6&t=25983

 

[Eshnar]

I don't think we've ever stuck U23 races... And the thread in question has 6 posts in total, after 2 stages. The race itself is beautiful, but has no reason to be sticky imho.

Again a post of me is deleted in the race thread. I'd like to be notified if something like this happens, because I've no clue what I did wrong. Last time, Big Mac said he deleted a lot of posts and maybe per accident also mine. Now, I'm pretty sure this is not the case as all the other posts are still there, except for mine.

Thanks in advance.

You do know how much extra work it'd be if the mods were to notify the posters each and every time they delete a post?

Of course if it was really bad and you get a warning or infraction, you will get a message specifying what was wrong, but for the rest, I certainly think it is fair that the mods don't have to write a message with.

I didn't delete any posts the other day, just for the record. The reason still stands, though.

Was it on-topic / regarding the race?

Yes, I do. But I do not see the point of deleting a post and not give a warning. That would lead to a situation in which it is up to the mods what users are posting. Users should be allowed to post whatever they want, unless it is a violation of the rules. If not, I don't see the point of deleting a post.

I saw Lance Armstrong during the live feed of the Tour de France and I was quite surprised. I posted something like:

The fckkk WHAT is Lance doing.

Not sure though.

Maybe they were offended by the language. If so, I would like to know and adjust my way of posting. But if posts of me are deleted without any warning or notification, responses of me in discussions can get lost. Now it was not a big problem, but in the future it could be. I am not only asking this for me, I just find this a really weird way of moderating.

I don't know if it was me that deleted your comment or not, but I will say we read an insane amount of comments and can't possibly give each member a written reason in a PM for the deletion.

Although if you had to provide some sort of reason maybe the deletions would be easier to understand, and you guys would give a bit more thought to which and how many posts you deleted. If it was bad enough to need deleting then it was bad enough to tell the perp why. No?
