Sorry overheal. I saw "Where me and magicmarker were having at each other in PI" and stopped reading. Could you summarise? I'm tired!

Does it have relevance to this threaD?

Sleepy Ladies version: Thaed made some trigger-happy mod decisions.

Relevant: Yes.

We made it over 300 posts in a feedback thread without it turning to nonsense, I knew it was too good to last.

Nah, I'm pretty sure I saw a lolcat back there somewhere.

To be fair, I think this is just the night shift hanging around gossiping. Normal services will hopefully resume tomorrow.

Ok. Well thanks for the sleepy ladies version.

Some people feel like that about Thaed. In this case I agree with the ban though.

A navel gazing thread beyond compare.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with Pighead said in the two posts that were the last straws. Indeed they don't qualify as straws or even straws-to-be. What happened before in 1000 Pighead threads is irrelevant and comes across as desperate for a means to an end. Another BGRH-related thread with poor, unsatisfactory and vague responses from some BGRH mods after one last week doesn't reflect well on the capability to mod a pisstake forum.

And finally for those who think it's a clique...my first BGRH beers was dreadful, however this may be explained by my appearance at 10.30 sober after a long day. I learned and the second and third visits have been extremely welcoming good times. Stick with it, like any normal civilised society.

Unless you drink Budweiser, for which you should be ashamed of and disowned anyway.

Nocturnal forum is thattaway tbh --->

I don't see the need to mess up a serious feedback thread for a bit of banter, people have been taking this thread pretty seriously all day and when they come back tomorrow to continue it they're gonna have to trawl through this crap. It's this kind of thing that has people give about about feedback never working and always descending into lolcats and nonsense /rant mode

The irony of a forum (moderators rather than users, thankfully) which continues to trumpet its status as a jokey and light hearted place, closing ranks in what seems to be a serious manner is not lost on some, me included.

Agreed so much on this - it's stupid - it's also stupid that there's a women mod for a completely male orientated forum, That's just honesty and sexism. But it's all really silly why bother? why bother having such a diverse range of forums if people who frequent a light hearted jokey forum have to put up with the idiot rules of PI.

moderation for the sake of moderation

true again

My main points is Grow up - we don't need to exclude people because we need to protect everyone from a little jive talk.

Mods need to rethink their approach.

So what is the general consensus, mods acted like pricks?

Mods on these boards generally do a great job, there are a few that I have noticed are not so impartial, but it is never highlighted to this extent, why is it highlighted in this instance, quite simply because Pighead is a popular poster.

What could be the possible solution?

Don't think there is one. Maybe make Pighead a mod of said forum. - He gets to pick which one he replaces.

Well looking underneath Miss Thaeds avatar she is a busy bee these days, modding PI, BGRH, Paganism, Sex & Sexuality, Spirituality, Parenting, and Spob whatever the hell that is.

Downsizing?

Generally it appears to be the opinion that a woman has no place modding BGRH as much as no man belongs modding The Ladies Lounge. We keep our bar-maids and demand our rasher sandwhiches, but its a bar; not the kind of place a man expects to find his mother berating him. Granted if he went to the Ladies Lounge and started talking about sore cocks and sudacreme he would deserve what he got.

How can you seriously get banned from a forum called Beer Guts and Receeding Hairlines unless you post porn or break general boardsie rules.

I know the answer :eek:, lets make it a private forum :rolleyes: and some more :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Could be a reason for alleged "snap judgements" - too much on her plate.

And because there have been several similar threads in the last few weeks, regarding the same mod.

I don't really think it makes the mod a bad person, some users gets on the tits of mods and vice versa, tis just human nature.

Seriously. Threads of naked women wearing uncooked bacon-bras seems a lot more lewd than discussing the aftermath of raging hot sex, yet it gets permitted.

I mean cmon, can anyone say salmonella? Turned me off; it should have been cooked first.

way to much imo.Somebody recently said that BGRH a was not a chat room ,well could have fooled me cuz that's exactly what' goes on there every day .I have indulged myself but double standards ?

I know, but in life we can't just get rid of someone because they get on our tits. Well, most of us anyway. Which I think is one of the main points here.

takola

To be honest guys, I think Thaed is perfectly capable of deciding when she has too much on her plate. She wouldn't be modding the forums if she didn't feel she could. This thread is not a witch-hunt to have a mod stand down because you don't like their modding style.

There is more than one mod of BGRH and it was a joint decision for pighead to be perm-banned.

Normally an advocate of lolcats, this thread is not ready for them yet.

I do believe Zaphette will vouch for learning things in a whole new world and passing this information on from modding TLL..like cooking tips for steak without the physical endeavours of cooking

I'd offer evidence on the other BGRH mods but in truth I have little past interaction with them to speak of, certainly none that involved their moderating. Im not trying to harangue Miss Thaed but I felt it important to contribute to what is turning out to be a very shallow pool of evidence from both sides of this case: Pighead provided his own evidence but beyond insinuating him to be a lying honey-glazed-swine, the moderation team of BGRH has not offered up much evidence if any to the contrary.

As for evidence on Mr Pighead I've only ever come across perhaps a couple dozen of his posts in my tenure here, as him and I dont run in the same circles much, but of those posts I never found any to be particularly affronting.
