Maybe if they did their job properly and unintrusively, no-one would moan. Instead you get snidey threats being made before the banning is done.

A proper Mod will PM the culprit first and try and reach a solution, instead of just pressing the ban button. It come's across as if the Mods really enjoy it when they press that button.

Sorry peeps but anyone abusing teh mods on a personal level deserve whatever they get IMO. And i say this as a friend of Rich Pon's.

No need to be abusing mods... read the rules and abide by them. Its really a simple game. We have 22000+members and yet, only a couple ever get banned... what does that tell you about the rules? Simple to follow for the masses, oh yes.

Richard has been warned before about this as I am sure Eagle will tell you.

We are not trigger happy with the ban button and always PM the people before they are banned. Mike even phoned Phil (bosch-man) to explain to him why he was banned and for how long.

We dont enjoy it, but if people constantly push the rules that we all agreed to, to the limit and beyond then they should expect to pay the consequences.

Its only a 24hr ban this time, but if it happens again he will be warned, and if he still continues then he will be banned for longer.

Fucking sad....

What a muppet...Stu or who ever gives out the powers should take them off people when they abuse the trust given to them and that has well and truely been abused....You taunted him with a threat and when he then took the bait you banned him...Pretty spinless and like redkop said snidey and that is not a friendly trait to have............

You wounder why every one gets on ya back Andy, well take a look at what you have just done, but you carry on coz your only doing as you have been asked to do, well i for one dont think Stu asked you to goad people into getting banned. You tried to get a reaction just so you could ban Richard.....

Out of order that...

of course they would moan ..

next you would get the pm posted up with crying smilies ...

certain people on here fly very close to the edge ...but they know when and where the line is between banter and insult ...

so if i decided to pick on you but kept putting after it ..would that make it right ????

Stu, do you really think that is a worthwhile ban, the fact that he seemed to push Rich into the reaction,....

Sorry but if i dont like someone i belive i have the right to say so, And for Andy to appear like he was going to enjoy it, which is how it came across when he wrote "go on and see what happens" is wrong.......

Couldn't have said it better myself. It does seem like one mod in particular likes to get a few punches in first before the button is hit.

Adrian, I don't doubt that Mike messaged (not massaged ) Phil first, but then he's not the mod that tends to be in the centre of this kind of thing. From what little I know "Banchester" has a bit of a reputation for it. I'm sure a lot of toys would be thrown from various prams if someone like Chip or Phil were put in power. Just a thought.

This kind of things tend to put 'The Mods' in a bad light, however unjust.

In this particular case Joe, you will have to look back through Rich and Andy's history to understand.

The rules are clear. And this place needs them enforcing more to bring it back to the way it used to be:

In this particular case, this is teh rule Andy has acted on:

any messages found to insult, discredit or bring disrepute to a Moderator or Moderators will be removed and the poster banned at the moderators descretion.

Would it not have been prudent then to make sure that Rich had read/received the PM before Banchester pressd the ban button?
I have spoken to Rich in MSN and he never received a PM, he went to log in and found he was banned! That's not very clever is it - eh?

"At the Moderator's discretion" that's a moot point, as in the past Andy has shown little or any discretion and that's why he has so little respect from the majority of users.

but it is open for other moderators to speak to the mod who banned as to decide if it was excessivly harsh ..

so its not just cut and dried ...

if i thought banning phil for more than a month was harsh i would say so
