    I was away for much of the weekend. I'm sure when I go through the Reported Posts there'll be some from every whinger here...

    But the wedding thread in my opinion is an absolute train wreck, full of racist and derogatory remarks.

    Some moderators seem to be blind when travellers are concerned.
    Name them.
    I'm look through the thread for AH bans in the Moderators forum. There are plenty of bans in there, a lot of which are for anti-traveller crap. I haven't even looked through the Infractions forum. Maybe you'd like to do this before making accusations?
    (You might notice one or two more now - retrospective infractions.)


    The behaviour of some users in the Traveler Wedding thread disgusts me; I can offer no excuse for it being tolerated. They will be dealt with.
    As for the actual subject matter being tolerated more than the JigsawGirl matter? The 'Traveler Wedding' was about photographs and event that was released to the public, inviting comment on the wedding and participants. JigsawGirl offered an opinion on politics, I don't think she signed a release form to have her photo used on hotornot.com.

    If JigSaw girl had the whole bebo thing going on I'd say her right to anonymity kind of went out the window too.

    Still being a mod you are damned if you do and likewise if you don't.

    Why are ye having a go at Dudess?

    Because they've got a horn on for their jigsaw girl thread and can't let it go.

    Because Dudess deleted the JigSawGirl thread and then posted in the thread were the travelers were being slagged off. She even defended the thread and the slagging of the traveler bride by thanking Thaeds post above.

    In fairness, most of the 'racist' crap went on after she posted.

    I missed the jigsawgirl thread:( so I can't really comment on how they compare. There must have been a good reason for deleting it - maybe the decision came from higher up on the ladder?

    Name them yourself, I'm not on a witch hunt.

    All I can say is that I reported that thread yesterday at 4 in the afternoon after those really nasty "jokes" appeared and that nothing happened until this here thread was created.

    So, some AH moderators (those on duty between then and now) chose to let it run ...which led my to my remark.

    What happens on Bebo should stay the **** on Bebo.
    Unfortunately, that's not the case... but I don't see why we should facilitate insulting an individual with a Bebo page for no reason other than a stalkerish Boardsie asked about her. It seems...unfair.

    Nice.

    People making genuine comment and feedback are "whingers". So you dont agree with the complaints (or whinges) and you support the thread in question fully? Please clarify this.

    I'll name Dudess as being guilty of being "blind when travellers are concerned" as peasant said above. And I'll stand by my accusation as the proof speaks for itself.

    Dealt with now the thread has been highlighted in feedback? Would have it been dealth with if 6th had not brought the issue here?

    If you say the "behaviour of some users in the Traveler Wedding thread disgusts me" how can you call the people commenting here "whingers"?

    Fair enough but do you have an insight as to why that threqad would be locked and deleted as soon as a mod saw it and the same treatment wasnt used on the other thread?

    It's not aimed at the people 'making genuine comment and feedback'. It's the whingers who whinge in Feedback but never do anything constructive.

    Meh. She's a big girl, I'll let her explain her own stance.

    As soon as it caught my attention, yes. It would have meant when I got 5 minutes to read through AH, or the Reported Posts I've missed in the last few days. So, yes. It would have.

    As above.





    ED: 6th, unlike one or two people in this thread, I'm not going to string together some bull****, but rather let Dudess explain.
    In fairness to Dudess, I doubt she was the only moderator around at the time...

    Fair enough.

    But does this mean that you would not have allowed the thread to progress if you had seen it this weekend?

    I'm not attacking you in any way ... I'm just asking for clarification on your opinions and how you personaly would have moderated the thread in question.

    Those pictures are completely in the public domain, so fair game I would of thought. I'd say we are only marginally adding to the worldwide aggregate mockery levels.

    As for them being travelers; I think the fact that they such is largely irrelevant. Its the fact that the persons in question were wearing eye cancer inducing apparel. They could have been anyone from any community (scarey thought that). You might as well state that the pictures should be removed on the grounds that they discriminate against those without a sense of fashion (or ocular health for that matter)

    I have no interest in naming individual moderators and no inclination on checking up on which AH moderator was or wasn't on shift.
    Sort it out "in house", if you must.

    All I can say is that there was my reported post and another one (about the Jordan issue) later, both of which left the thread unaffected until this feedback thread was created.

    In light of this I think it is fair to say that some moderators seem to be blind when it comes to travellers.

    Who exactly they were or weren't doesn't really matter (not to me, anyway)

    Does that mean that anyone who has posted a pick on one of the KYN type threads should be allowed to have a thread taking the piss out of them here.

    As far as I can see from the 2nd marriage thread most of the pictures where hosted on image shack which is hardly suggests that the pics where posted for publicities sake

    Well, as far as photos go here, you can always take it down later if you like. I think if someone started a thread taking the piss, it would probably count as personal abuse. Perhaps its double standards but as far as I know, those pictures have done the rounds all over the internet. The "damage" has been done. It's a fair point though JSB.

    True.

    I am just remarking that if you decided to plaster youself on the Internet in any fashion, you are pretty much publishing yourself and giving your pics etc to all a sunder.

    I am not disagreeing with the thread being deleted. As I said being a mod at times you are damned if you do and damned if you don't. Considering the OP had no intention of the thread "going there" and is happy for it to be deleted I think Dudess has nothing to worry about. So what if a few users think it was a great laugh.

    /goes to poker table

    I would have thought aswell but the difference between the 2 thread as far as I see it is tha in the 2nd thread the traveler community is being slagged as a whole.

    Fair play.

    I'll wait for Dudess and I understand she wasnt the only mod about just she seems to have done the modding on both threads or at least the modding I'm wondering about.

    I uploaded them to imageshack, they were forwarded to me in an email so God only knows where they originated, be it someones picture folder on their personal computer or Ok Magazines website.

    However, I'll add, the OP was looking for some seemingly well known/published pictures of a travellers wedding, I posted them thinking it could be the same one (and from what I read, there's other threads on the wedding elsewhere on Boards) so...meh..

    Interesting to see you've changed your opinion on the publishing of personal data on boards.ie.

    Surprising that, as you argued so passionately against those who did the exact same thing in the recent surfing debate.

    But what you did is ok because they are only dirty knackers, right?
