    All I'm saying is, when I read it, I find it condescending, and more inviting of attitude adjustment in the wrong direction.

    That's the answer I would have expected and I would have still started this thread. Like I said, asking you to explain your reasons when I already know them is futile. My point is your reasoning is wrong.

    I've said more than once how the mod in question is covered by the charter,all you need to to is go back and see that. :)

    The charter is not written for the mods Nerin. They have their own charters, else where.

    But I still like your answers.

    Thank you :)
    What i meant by covered was that the user did post something that can be categorised under unhelpful,hence if you want to look at it like that,it was justified. I've already said that there were other posts there that could have been seen in the same light,depending who looks at them.

    Magicmarker-yes,i have,and if i have a problem with them,i won't Deal with them how you have.

    That post was no worse than some of the dire advice that gets given out on that forum all the time by people who are old enough to know better, IMO.

    It's no wonder that PI isn't like the Soccer forum where you've to apply to post . Or if you want to be even stricter then just leave the replies to the mods and don't let any users post in there and make all thread starters be anon.

    are we ignoring this comment

    Wasn't there another thread a few days ago about a female mod closing a thread in Soccer and there was backlash ? I think either the first post or the thread title mentioned her being a woman. It's a bit of a low blow to shout accusations against a mod like that.



    Anyway, my opinion on the warning is that it was a case of broken windows/zero tolerance. Bit harsh like, I feel sorry for the OP of said thread.

    This is not the first time the moderation itself sabotages the thread it is trying to keep on track. Not just in PI, happens elsewhere also.

    OK feck it I'm gonna say it. I was woken up early and am in a bad mood.........

    Magic Marker, its very clear you have a problem with Thaed. Its also very clear that you would like her gone and for you to replace her. Now, if i was an owner of boards I'd perma ban you from PI because 1. your advice is mostly pants and can be downright childish and 2. you whine constantly to make yourself look like you have an intelligent opinion.

    Stop this one-man war against Thaed and let it lie.

    I don't think this thread is about Magicmarker and Thaed it's about the ban given out in the PI forum.

    It's like you see right through me! Damn! and here's me thinking I was being super covert about it all:rolleyes:

    Sometimes I have a problem with a decision that I feel compelled to bring it to feedback, it's not the first time and it's not the last, more than once it's concerned Thead, but that's not because I have a problem with her specifically, it's because she makes a habit of making stupid decisions, and it's well documented. For the record I don't recall ever having an issue with the decisions made by any other mod on PI, at least not so much that I had to bring it here. If that makes you think I have some kind of chip on my shoulder with Thead, well knock yourself out.

    As for your second point, I give the bestest advice in the whole wide world, I should be a councillorer.

    OK so you pretty much agreed with my point?

    1. You have a problem with the way Thaed mods PI.
    2. You are on a one-man rampage to knock her cause as you said "she makes stupid decisions"?
    3. The only issues you bring to feedback seem to relate to thead and her modding?

    I dont understand why you cant use the pm function? These warnings have nothing to do with you (which is more to the pity) Why do you feel the need to take it to feedback and not ask her directly through pm?

    As for your spelling? Pfffft! ;)

    Most of the time no, once or twice, enough to bring it here, yes. Once (maybe more) it concerned me.

    Is there really any need to put words in my mouth? I had a problem with the decision she made, if it were made by wibbs or marksie, then I would have had a problem with that too.

    Again, you're putting words in my mouth, this is not what I said and you know it. If you are trying to make yourself look like you have an intelligent opinion, then you're failing miserably.

    I don't understand why you can't read the thread, because I've already answered this question.

    Are you taking the piss out of me or just a goldfish?

    Your words not mine "it's because she makes a habit of making stupid decisions". Now show me where i put those words into your mouth?

    FYI, I'm not trying to prove i have intelligent opinions(because i dont). I'm simply asking you why you feel the need to whine about Thaed in feedback constantly?

    She mods PI so you will see her "stupid decisions" pop up a lot. How's about you stay away from there so you dont have to get so wound up by her "stupid decisions"?

    It's the ''one man rampage'' you're putting in my mouth, you're making out that I'm only here because it's related to thead, that's wrong. IF I do come here to complain, it's to complain about a decision that I felt was uncalled for, it doesn't matter who made the decision! Like I said, if this warning was made by wibbs or marksie then I still would have started this thread, but neither wibbs or marksie has a history of these kinds of decisions, thead does so it's only natural that if a problem exists relating to bad decisions, then it concerns the person who has a habit of making the bad decisions!

    I'm not sure why this is hard for your to grasp, but i'm not going to explain it again.

    I've started 5 threads on feedback in all, 3 of them related to PI, 2 of those 3 were related to me, this is the other one.

    How about she not make stupid decisions like this one? That's the whole point of this thread, if people were to stay away from a forum because of stupid decisions then boards would soon be left barren.

    I think intended wrong spelling went right over his head, not to mentioned ''bestest'' and the ''whole wide world''. I would have thought sarcasm detectors would have been better on the internet.

    I'm not arguing with you. I'm simly stating that you have a problem with the way Thaed mods PI and you think by starting a thread in feedback that you'll get the whole of boards to back you up. Or maybe you want her to resign as a mod of PI so someone else can fill her shoes ;)

    He's not making his distaste a secret, no need to drag it out as if he ordered Downey to give Santiago a Code Red.

    If you think that I have some kind of vendetta against Thead then that's fair enough, I'm hardly going to be able to change your mind.

    I am not stupid enough to believe the whole of boards will back me up, I knew some would be for and some against.

    Both are these however, are irrelevant. The fact is a decision was made, a decision that I (and others) feel was uncalled for. I believe it was an over reaction, unnecessary and most of all it served no purpose. Now, if a mod were to admit to their failings then all would be fine, we can all accept that people make mistakes. But if a mod (any mod) has a habit of making bad decisions and can't so much as admit to them, then that mod probably isn't the best option for any forum, in my opinion of course.
