    What a bloody train wreck of a thread.

    Well done to all those who made it happen.

    Am I meant to take offence because you posted some fantasy type cards? Are you actually for real? You call yourself a Parenting mod...and this is your behaviour? I say you will do a great job there...

    Issues...serious issues.

    so in summary, a user posts his issue in feedback. Right or wrong some comments are made in response to the issue. The user is unhappy with the return comments and continues with rant. Why let the thread go on to the point where mods are now havin a pop at the user which was the basis of his argument in the first place?

    Doesnt matter whether he was right or wrong in the first place, threads shouldnt be allowed to get to this point. Doesnt reflect well.

    He's right you know, Thaed. Your fondness of internet humour must mean you're a terrible mother.

    Why would you do this to your kids? Why?

    I have to agree with this. Half this thread has been a farce. What's done is done now, and there's no point in continuing to antagonise the OP. He admitted he was wrong about 50 posts ago.

    Was called an idiot by another user in the thread for that comment...so instead of taking the thread off topic, i pm'd the user telling them quite simply to "Go **** yourself"

    Sending unsolicited abusive PM's will get you a temp site ban on Boards. Most of us find it odd, stalkerish and more than a bit strange that someone would take the time to do this.
    i would be banned from the personal issues section for probably a week...

    Because it was a comment made out in the open and not at all as intimidating as receiving a PM from someone you don't know sending you abuse.

    I haven't read this thread, in fact, I've only read this last page and all I can say is wow, someone needs to take a walk out in the fresh air.

    Stalkerish, odd and more than a bit strange you say? And this is coming from the person with some witch as her profile photo?

    Are you all actually for real? I was called mentally retarded/idiotic and pm'd the user telling her to go **** herself. Are you just trying to provoke me even further?

    Nope it wasn't.
    And if that was the case he should have posted in feed back.

    This thread is about him thinking that calling a post idiotic is the same as calling him an idiot. This is not true one is an opinion of the quality of his post the other is a personal insult.

    He lost the rag and ended up site banned and then came and exhibited here the same lack of restraint by attacking people. His lack of civility in this thread is showing himself up.

    At this stage I reported his posts esp where he had been saying that I am not a fit parent but am not personally insulted but them as he does not know me so I will instead point out to him where he is going wrong.

    I choose to use the boards gathering cards cos they were made to try and enlighten those who don't get it and try make them see that such statements are not new in fact they are sooo old and such a cliche that a card was made for them.

    Clearly so that when they grow up they can google my nick and see examples
    of how to ignore people's idiotic posts and not to get upset when they try make comment about things they don't know ( ie my parenting skills ) which well makes them idiotic comments.

    I never considered the pic I use in my profile to be a witch, that is your interpretation. More to the point, I fail to see what that has to do with the price of turnips.
    I politely explained the way things work, the rules broken and all I get in return is bad manners.

    I suppose we'll just have to differ on this point, I don't hold the same stance as you and know i cannot convince you of my point of view, nor vice versa.

    To me if you call a persons post idiotic you call their point of view (which is what they put in a post afterall) on a particular subject idiotic. So your view is of similar quality to an idiot's. To me that's personal, cheesdude felt the same way as I am sure others do.

    I don't think its fair to say I am wrong and you are right. I accept some people wouldn't be offended but it is therefore only fair to accept others are offended by such language

    I have had my religious beliefs called silly and several other things on this site and have not felt the need to pm anyone telling them to fúck off and earn myself a site ban.

    Even the level at which cheesedude is trying to provoke me I still have the cop on to not break the site rules and be personally abusive to him.

    This site is based on the exchange if ideas and opinions and you can not get your knickers in a twist when someone thinks that your idea or your opinions don't hold water or are idiotic and expresses it in a civil fashion.

    I am in no way defending cheesedude's actions. He was very very wrong to PM Dudess. He broke the rules so got to suffer the ban. Simple really

    I just think he was justified in being offended, that is all

    When it comes to our debate my knickers are firmly un-twisted. You have been very civil. We disagree, big deal. If at any stage though you had called my opinion moronic, stupid or idiotic then I would genuinely be annoyed.

    There has been more than just the OP showing themselves up in this thread, some of the OP's comments have been egged on. I havent seen a Feedback thread get as bad as this before.

    If someone acts the messer and gets themself banned, it doesnt justify other posters/mods doing the same. That carry on would get an individual banned in most forum here. It reflects bad on boards especially if there are moderators involved. we have all dissed other sites for similar carry on at one time or another.

    Anyway im not here for debate, thats my view.

    Oh you need to go and look at what feedback was like 3 years ago and 5 years ago this is very mild comapred to how people who didn't have a lot of cop on were treated.

    An you ant mods held to a higher standards then posters in forums were they are not a mod ?
    Not going to happen. I am a free person and a poster and can say what I like as long as I accept the consquence. I am not an employee of boards.ie.

    There is a Star Trek fan site that has this issue.

    They have two log in passwords (i think it is passwords).
    #1: gives them their MOD profile: Moderator is present in their avatar. There is an entire different back ground to their avatar. Anything posted as this is the post of a Mod.

    #2: It looks like every other members avatar, Just post counts location etc. These posts are the posts of the individual and do not reflect the site.

    Your post has made your view quite clear. Not an ethos i agree with and while you can preach that you are free to post what you want, at the end of the day you are moderator and thus represent boards that little bit more than a general user does.

    Either way Im certainly not goin to fall out with you over it so i will bow out with this post. (i swear this time! :D)

    While a bit of banter is fine and does go on, i still feel that this thread has descended into a place that to me, doesnt reflect what boards is all about nor Feedback for that matter. But then again maybe my view of what it shoud be about is incorrect.

    I think it is more along the lines of when you would like to post a private opinion within the forum you are a Mod of.

    Part of being a mod is contributing to the forum of which you mod, so that does not make a lot of sense.

    My perspective on this (bearing in mind I've often been accused of over-moderating Politics): if someone calls someone else an idiot on Politics, I'll pull them up on it. If someone describes someone else's post as idiotic, that's fair game.

    I've been known to say stupid things. That doesn't make me stupid. (Quiet, down the back.)
