I understand that things will probably have been said after the initial event and then subsequent ban was imposed bud... and likely they'll have been far more colourful than just calling someones actions prick-like!!

However, the point I was making was, there probably wouldn't have been an issue in the beginning if the Moderator concerned was a little more 'in tune' with the forum and the chat that the members invoved are very well known to give... as was the reaction by regulars when the first comment was made by Eagle, they voiced their opinions that they didn't see an issue with Chip's T4 comment.

I really think that's a valid point and it should be addressed... there's obviously a balance to strike between a regular posting forum user and a regular but silent user becoming a Moderator, but the main quality I think is useful is that the person is vigilant and takes in most of what is said and done on the forum on a regular basis.

I agree with this mate. However, even seasoned users have 'off days' though... not saying that should be an excuse to avoid a ban, but as I said, maybe a wee bit of common sense applied to the situation would go a long way at times.


Cheers,
Grant
