    Reported posts are biased in the soccer forum one fan will report another teams fan easily but wouldnt report his own teams fan, so they can only be taken as a reference, sucks but thats the way it is.

    And then you add in mods with the ability to view the reported post forum will report people of another team just to get them banned and even post on the reported post to ensure it.


    Its a pain in the hole and far more **** than the users know.

    An now hang on a second, why would any of that matter? If a reported post has merit then it shouldn't matter how legitimate the reasons behind it.


    MrJoeSoap: would you prefer a mod who didn't care in the slightest for the game but rather blindly enforced the rules.

    I'd prefer some sort of a mix to be honest, a moderator who understands the game and knows what is going on, somebody who will be on the forum regularly and know the posters and their habits and personalities.

    At the same time, the rules are there to be enforced and if some people are being punished for breaking them and others aren't then there is always going to be seen to be something wrong.

    I don't have a problem with any of the current moderators and this thread isn't about them at all really, it's more about the actual charter itself and how it has been and will be enforced.

    Which is what you got and why you didnt get banned and the list you posted all didnt get banned as common sense was used, 2 i missed and possibly should have been banned, others common sense prevailed.

    Seriously if anyone that complains about the mods of the forum wants a crack at it i will glady swap forums with them.

    As a tip for mods who do edit threads, it's often an idea to report the post first so you still have a copy of exactly what was posted. ;)
    Karoma does that quite a bit.
    I keep meaning to do it myself, but always forget.

    Kdjac ,

    I really don’t think that anyone is doubting the hard work that the soccer mods do on the board it is in-fact a thankless job I personally think the thread is more about the inconsistency in the forum regarding the Charter rules as i said it seems to be one rule for the goose the other with the gander in certain cases but you can also see sometimes the forum been ruled over like a iron fist , Without a shadow of a doubt soccer creates more feedback that any other forum , There is no need to be so defensive. Personal I think you guys do a great job but also need some help , like for instance why is talla even a soccer moderator he hasn’t posted there in months and I fully understand that he has a life outside of boards , my point been that add another moderator in that position to help out on the forum.

    You cant have it both ways, everyone in soccer asked for more tolerance which was given in certain instances where just being a fan/person who watches football on tv(lol) was seriously pissed off at something in a game and posted something which broke the charter in a moment of passion.

    Considering how worked up soccer fans get, there's an attraction with giving casual fans/non-fans the job.

    Notice how most of the longterm mods on boards.ie wouldnt touch with a bargepole but snipe at every oppurtunity (mike65, WWM etc: )

    Rofflecopter.

    you think im sniping at you?

    i see no where where i sniped at you. i suggested waqiting for the mod to come and tell the OP what the issue was, and then when i figured out he was complaining about something that happened a year ago, i asked him what his problem was.

    the only thing i said to you was that people were complaining about the inconsistancy on the forum, something which you seemed to have either ignored in your earlier post, or just didnt see.

    you went on about tolerence, or lack of, but that isnt an issue.

    i also told you to ignore anyone who has a go at you just becuase you have a'debate' with a fellow mod.

    you are ever so defensive. you take everything in a very negative way. even the suggestion earlier in the year of a second forum for football had you hopping onto the thread, having a bash at every poster there as troublemakers, and saying it was a stupid idea.

    if you want, i will happily take over your role as a mod there. contrary to what psi thinks, ive never been offered the position of a soccer mod, except by gandalf, and hes not really in a position to offer mod ships about, only make suggestions. and that was a long time ago.

    but hey, you feel like stepping down, sure, i will take it on. after all, if i can sort out the AH forum, the soccer forum should be a piece of piss, right?

    but then again i rarely visit the soccer forum anymore becuase of the mods.

    The ironing is delicious, given the childish bans you dealt when you were modding AH :confused:

    Think Soccer is grand myself, though seeing as Ive seen mods use the scum word surely that part should now be lifted.

    its a personal forum, get your own.

    you can mod anything in the Biz or Rec category. pick one that needs a mod.

    so you think that anyone who disagrees with you is a gob****e?

    you see, i really dont understand why you feel the need to resort to insulting me and anyone else. i only made practical suggestions on this thread, and yet you still persist in trying to make remarks.

    its this kind of thing, that makes mods unpopular.

    oh, and i dont really post about spurs on the soccer forum anymore anyway, so you wont have that issue.


    so, how about it?

    Ironic given that you seemed to indicate that the reason you dont visit the Soccer forum is that the mods are too harsh.

    Im not going to search years back to find the "WWM had a bad day" bans. Im not even sure I personally got one, but I do recall some of it being rather petty.

    Oh go home and bring the bee in your bonnet with you. Stop pissing on the thread because you don't like WWM. There's no contradiction between you not liking WWM's modding (which most people do; I think he can be a gimpy troll on Feedback [though he seems to have stopped that] but that his "Do you like us?" approach to AH is refreshing on a site all-too-often dictated by the Feb 98s) and him not visiting Soccer because he doesn't like the modding.

    He is complaining about a forum which is moderated more lightly and fairly than AH when he modded it. It is a valid point in a thread discussing the harshness of Soccer modding.
