O.K. I'm as surprised as the rest of you about her announcement, but until we know exactly what or whom has upset her, can we try to avoid the speculation of, favouritism, stalkers, etc.

Human nature to speculate before the facts Less. Bet everyone has checked their Outward Express inbox to view the notification of posts from our Shillelagh . I know I have, couldn't find owt though.

i have never reported a post (spammers excepted) in over 3 yrs on here, think its a bit sad when faceless turds report stuff fer nowt, only their twisted satisfaction. after all its only cyberspace, some need to get a life. can understand people reporting if they are threatened, then thats fair enough, but most of these people seem to be sad,dim,tossers.:rolleyes:

I've only reported things when they seem to me to breach the forum rules with problematic links, or spam or something like that.

exactly, agree with both comments, but then you got a life willow.;)
 
I’ve just had a look through her removed posts and I can't find anything that would suggest favouritism.

Her posts that had been removed were part of a whole load of off topic comments and as such, all were removed. I’m sure you would agree, it would have looked silly if we had removed everyone else’s off topic posts and just left shillelaghs. Just because a post or two goes missing, doesn’t mean it was bad, offensive etc

There’s nothing personal in the actions we take. If some one reports something then we’ll look into it and if we agree then we’ll do something. We do what we have to and if members take that the wrong way, then what can we do?

Another problem we have is that, we can’t be here all the time and if members don’t report, then what do you expect? No point in waiting months and months for opportunities like this and saying “its time certain mods opened their eyes to the unrest that is now accyweb” - instead, report it as its happening.

Chances are, there will be always unrest ‘due to the nature of the forums’, there will always be differences of opinions etc – and what members get up to in their private life’s ‘offline’ has nothing to do with accyweb. As long as everyone is happy ‘we can judge this by the amount of reports we get or lack of’ then everything is fine.

I agree, it’s a shames that she’s chosen to go because she has been a big help to us in the past. She’s not one of these that sit there and waits, she gets stuck in and acts and many thanks for that, you will be missed.

so none of her posts where reported then Len? they where just removed because they where with others that where off topic?
 
I hope no mods take offence at this but perhaps it would help, if when a thread is going off topic, if the wandering stuff could just be moved to a new thread instead of being deleted?

Or failing that, if at least the people whose posts are removed are informed why. This has been a recurring complaint when people get moderated that they often haven't a clue what they have done wrong or what rules have been broken.

If people do break rules and are informed of what they've done wrong then they can avoid repeating the offence, but equally if posts are removed for no other reason than that they have strayed off-topic then letting the poster know at least shows them that they have not offended anyone.

It does seem rather a shame that inoffensive posts are removed and offensive ones remain for no other reason than that the inoffensive ones are part of a general thread wander.

i agree but why are people who are thratening,abusive and intimidating other members on this site still allowed to continue been here and not prevented from rejoining by contacting their isp and reporting them

if somone has a personal problem with somone in the real world then yes i agree it isnt accywebs problem but when that person uses this site to persue a personal vendetta then dosnt that part warrant the permament removal of the offender especialy when its more than the once?

dont get me wrong len you have been helpfull t me but if i sent you pms and karma comments saying i was going to come to your home and kill you then im pretty sure i would be banned for good

I totally agree with that. Never happened to me personally ( although it could have done but I'm too thick skinned for the numpties to bother me :)) But I have seen it happen!! and something should be done abut it.
 
I bet we've all been cheesed off with the site in the past.

I had two thread deleted in a weekend, and got told off, or that's what it felt like. The fact is I shouldn't have made those threads, but should have pm'd the moderators with what I saw as a problem. The moderators sent me a message, explaining why they'd been removed, and I could accept their point.

I'd hate to be a moderator. I think it is a fairly thankless task. On the whole I think they do a very good job as far as I can see. They try to be fair, and impartial, in my opinion. I'm sure mistakes do happen, but that's human nature, and like the rest of us, the mods are human. As Len said, they physically can't be on here 24/7, and rely on members to draw their attention to any problems that may arise.

If you read this Jen, I hope you do come back, because you'll be sorely missed. Your posts are informative, fun, and most of all genuine. All the things you are yourself.

Please think about it, and hopefully you'll be back posting soon.

If you honestly think you're being treated unfairly, leaving is giving in, and knowing you like I do, I know you're a fighter for what you believe, so bloomin' well stand your ground girl.

The who’s online page is handy but just because you can see someone reporting a post/ thread doesn’t necessarily mean they are complaining.

The report button is a link to the moderator’s forum whereas members can ask questions, offer advice or even report bad content of any particular thread/ post.

Presumably thread wanders are acted on by being reported rather than the mods spotting them ?

Most threads veer slightly off topic, just like real conversations do.

If I see it I'll report spam or bad language, but who on earth would be so petty as to report someone for going off topic in a thread about something so insignificant as karma?:confused:

I don’t want to go on about this all night ‘there are too many if’s and but’s etc’

If possible we do split threads, but most of the time posts are so intertwined ‘with all the quoting’ that it’s not really possible and it would mean having to edit every affected post and that probably would cause more upset.

Notifying everyone that there off topic posts have been removed could take ages and I don’t know how much spare time you have but on occasions I don’t have much. Besides, common sense would tell you why your post has been removed. If you know the rules and take the chance then don’t complain if or when your post/ thread disappears.
 
len i know why my posts get deleted when you delete them because you pm me the reason why

granted most of the time with my posts its a matter of "when" and not "if" they get deleted lol
