    The most outright abuse I got on here was from a user (David Micheal/PokerChild) not a mod. It was let go on for a while but after reporting all the posts (which included 1 word posts such as "twat") he was site banned.

    If you get abuse on this forum or any other report it and it will get dealt with. The biggest mistake (and one that I've made alot in the past) is to respond to abuse, dont full the fire.

    That said I get some well meant kicks from decent people on here to but thats just banter.

    Jesus I remember those posts all right 6th. I remember thinking at the time how can he/she? call 6th a wankstain/arselick/twat/fukwit/idiot/retard/imbicile/completeplonker/ and get away with it? Yeah you can be a bit over zealous with the whole boards thing but it was no reason to be abusive. I felt for you at the time :( A well justified banning IMHO. Should have been handed out sooner. .

    Just my 2c.

    And to add my two as well. The mods here are as balanced as I have found. Having had a well merited temporary ban for bitch slapping someone who I really felt deserved it, the mod I dealt with directly was very fair afaic.

    People are always harping on about bad mods when there are none to few really. It is not even a case of a bad apple, which there probably is, spoiling the barrel. Some folk just can't except they are in the wrong, with regards to internet forums, and move on.

    As much as certain people treat boards like their personal play ground, seeing users accused and possibly banned for no reason :/


    Oh and nice blog about your life on boards 6th. Dead cool. I am a fan. I appreciate the way you link to your "popular" type posts. Saves me, as a fan, searching you for the quality stuff. If only Faceman would do same, I'd be sorted.

    More wine needed.

    gah!!

    Merc/David/Whatever....

    WTF is you're problem.... honestly, I've played poker against you and talked to you before and you seemed like a nice bloke but this whole thing is just idiotic in the extreme. Its silly and I've lost a lot of respect for you primaraily because of the sheer childishness of this.

    Whatever about the people you don't like, thats not important. You're response to "not liking them" is worse then a 6 year old and thats just really sad from someone who I know isnt stupid. Honestly is this the way you deal with conflict in your life?


    In all honesty, I think you need to switch off the computer, walk away and take stock of things from a distance because its really saddening to see you go this route. You are better then this petty, childish bullying and name calling.

    Christ, honestly man have some self f*cking respect for God's sake. Please, just leave the site, or enjoy using it while controlling your impulses and ignoring people you don't like.

    Genuinely, just turn the machine off and walk away because I don't think *any* of this is good for you dude. Its pathetic and you are better then that.

    DeV.

    I'd love to hear what people think we should do about this perceived "problem".

    Put yourself in my shoes... how should one "legislate" for civility? Why should a Mod have to tolerate an idiot who mocks them and not flame them? What about the responsibilities of posters to be civil? What should we do in the case where both are out of order?

    What makes you think that what your answer is (and I'm fairly sure I can predict it) isnt already being done?

    Come on, its a fun game for all the family. If you were me, what would you change?

    and dont put words in people's mouths.

    I dont see a single reference, or even an insinuation, that all users are presumed idiots.
    The only reference I see whith the word idiot in it, refers to a user who mocks people but wont tolerate the same back.

    Are you sure youre not taking it out of context on purpose, becuse it looks pretty clear cut to me what was said.
