Is that a paint brush, or are you just pleased to see me?
The likes of Jack be nimble who contribute nothing but insults and then try and get the mods to act when someone calls him out isn’t needed.

Your posts were deleted because they were a) off-topic and/or b) unnecessarily offensive.
Concerning the post you flagged, I looked it up: in a post right before, you called Slot ‘A bald waste of space’ and wanted him removed off the club instantly. As a reaction, someone called you a muppet for this.
This happened just after the game, with emotions still running high. When seeing them this morning, I decided to let the two posts stand. The other alternative would have been to remove them both. If I had been around yesterday evening, that’s what I’d have done. But I wasn’t.
I hope that I’ve explained my decision in a sufficiently clear manner. If you want more explanations, you can pm me.

I haven’t seen anything flagged in the moderation queue, just for the record.

I removed the flag by refusing it, that’s why you couldn’t see it.

Well then, let’s. If you cannot see how the above is more than a little aggressive then you have a bit of a problem. Again, this is coming from someone who uses such language as a matter of course quite willingly and often myself. The problem is that your opinion, while quite valid, often devolves into an aggressive tirade against those who not share that opinion which then ends with the muse that people should be more reasonable. I mean…
So while the mod team, and yourself, might feel different, were you not indeed a mod quite a bit of your posting style could be viewed as unnecessarily aggressive, arrogant and confrontational. So I’m sorry if you feel you’re being held to higher standard because frankly you are, and so you should be. It’s like what divides ‘us’ from ‘them’. If ‘us’ is behaving the same as ‘them’ then how exactly is order supposed to be kept in a way that does not rankle? I’m not a mod and I don’t expect my sometimes admittedly confrontational and rather dismissive style to be replicated by one because then what incentive do I have to rein myself in?

We made a conscious decision on this forum to go very light on moderation and let things sort themselves out.
If I was going round slapping and banning people every other day, you’d have a point. But we don’t. People have to go to extreme lengths to get themselves sanctioned let alone banned.
We’re more like janitors than moderators. All we do is move posts around, tidy up off topic posts and delete spam. I think the issue is that you have a version of moderation in your head that doesn’t exist, and why just about the most nauseatingly irritating thing anyone can say to me is ‘…as a mod you should know better than to….’

If I’m expected to ‘hold higher standards as a mod’ then is it too much to ask you to hold a high standard based on your username?
You chose that name based on our anthem. There is a sentiment to that song that you have perhaps missed.
When you walk through a storm hold your head up high, and call a manager who won the league title a few months ago and then had to guide the squad through an awful tragedy a bald headed waste of space…
Is that a second verse I’m unfamiliar with?

I see from the Slot thread, you’ve taken @Hope.in.your.heart’s moderation decision with dignity and understanding.

I deleted your comment. What reaction did you hope to get?

@Hope.in.your.heart is a really reasonable guy, but you are going to end up talking yourself into a ban over a bit of mild moderation you didn’t agree with.
Can you not see why calling someone a cunt, (purely with the intention of poking a moderator by the way), is a bit more actionable that someone calling you a muppet?
I remember back on TIA arguing with a mod decision was an automatic point. I wish we could go back to back to that.
In fiarness, being called a muppet is far different to being called a cunt.
Cunt is quite a common word in Australia, but if you walked into a pub anywhere in Aus and started calling people cunts, you would very quickly cop a punch in the mouth.
Calling someone a muppet on the other hand willl maybe start a bit of verbal sparring but unless escelated with more cutting insults will not likely turn violent.

Does it really matter that much?
He called you a muppet because you called the manager a bald head waste of space, and said you want him sacked right now.
Honestly, ‘muppet’ is getting off lightly.
You don’t care about being banned, but you are going to have a two day moan about someone calling you muppet?
