it's in helpdesk, it's for the admins to sort and review.

It's been ignored though, in all fairness

Help Desk thread, the matter belongs in Help Desk and shouldn't be discussed here, that's the way the system works. I'm sure an admin/Terry will respond to it in due course.

Maybe there should be a public poll as to what members think of this Mod's attitude

Not gonna happen imo, and a bad idea anyway.

Report them to the cmod/admins with links and reasons to back up your case, this isn't the place for it though.

I'm sure people have reported his posts.. it obviously doesn't do much good though.. why should it, he's Terry after all :rolleyes:

If the people in charge of this site cannot see the abusive and bullying nature of his persona then there is nothing more to be said about him or those in charge of appointing mods

sorry, but that's how it seems to me.. at least

Precisely :P

Lets see how much support he has now, in the forum he was once so popular in

Look through the complaints he's had recently.. what has been done about it while other mods have stepped down?

We'll find out in a couple of months cos the awards are coming up again and I'd put money on Terry being nominated again and being one of the front runners.

Eh....you seem to misunderstood why I posted the link. Perhaps, you are projecting your own problems with a particular mod onto AH posters as a whole.

Of course I am

That's the only possible reason that anyone could have a problem with someone else

Kind of despicable behavior for a mod... imo

Maybe there should be a public poll as to what members think of this Mod's attitude

100 percent agree. and this guy had a hand in getting me banned.i wish the mods would re-read my thread and see the error of their ways.(if any do read this i appeal to you to re-read the thread).
i did a similar thing to abigayle.
people were slagging air france victims,jade goody posthumously,margeret thatcher,etc etc etc. i opened a thread in feedback to say i was not happy with peoples posting in AH.i understood it was a humourous forum but thought too many people(mods included),went way too far(making sick puns) even when one poster revealed a relative of hers was one of the deceased on the plane.i was told in no uncertain terms that after hours was like this and like it or lump it if i was looking for serious discussion i should take the air france thread to the aviation forum or humanities.so i decided to sing off the same hymn sheet as everyone else,went back in to the air france thread,found one of the comedian pun makers and told him ,"i hope someone you love dies".BANNED FROM AFTER HOURS FOR LIFE.complete double standards.they slag the dead even when a fellow boardsie says a relative died on the plane,and i say i hope one of their relatives dies and i get banned. ILL TELL YOU THE REASON WHY.because the mods were the ring leaders in it all,bunch tommy tiernans the lot of them,witty,funny each sick pun trying to better the next. they couldnt close the thread because they were completely complicit and culpable.
i got no help from terry and now the shoe is on the other foot im delighted for him.

What does other mods stepping down have to do with anything?

you persistently back these mods up to the hilt. you blindly defend them the whole time.
nail your flag to the mast and say what you think of his actions.do you condone them or not?
give us your opinion on terrys racist comment about the english?why was abigayle banned and he not??well???
the mods are conspicuous in their absences in answering abigayle.is the evidence not damning enough?its written in black and white" the english are the biggest pack of **** to ever walk the earth ".he should be banned and be made to apologise to abigayle

1: Mods are entitled to their opinions and to make jokes. Outside of the forums they mod they are users just like everyone else.

2: Personal abuse will get you banned regardless of how justified you think it is.

3: Not everyone shares your point of view/morality/sense of humour. These things are subjective. Your point of view is not necessarily the correct one, nor is mine.

4: Just because you believe something does not mean it is correct.

5: This is the largest discussion site in Ireland, with hundreds of thousands of users. Any and all things newsworthy are bound to be discussed here, and should be, freely, within the rules of this site.

6: The mods responsobility is to the forum as a whole, not you and your personal ideals.

7: There is no mod conspiracy.

8: Build a bridge.

Fukk me, I think I might have just summed up the response options to every feedback thread in one post. Now how to get it down to sig size?

That's not what happened at all. Some people were taking the piss, some were taking it seriously and getting offended. I posted in the thread (my only post in that thread, I think) to say that I couldn't believe that there were people who were shocked that some don't take anything in After Hours seriously. You then said you hoped someone close to me dies. Do you honestly think you were in the right to say that, simply because I pointed out that AH isn't taken seriously? You were being a c*nt and got banned for it. Stop pretending to be a victim.

im with handsomecake on this, he pointed some obvious double standards and was banned as a result. Turd Furguson spammed Weather and got banned for 3 months (ok that fair) handsomecake and Fink Goddie get banned for life for a lot less. Because the mods dont like criticism and turn it into a vendetta.

kumate_champ07

and I got banned for 'pixars latest movie, "finding chemo" ' joke while others could joke away including mods on 'serious' topics

johnny_knoxvile

yep, your joke was no different than anything in AH before... The mods were very emotional that day.

Maybe there should be a thread were the mods can make us aware of their mood each day so that way we know not to step out of line or do anything to upset them. Or even get their views on different matters, because God help us if our views are different.

why the fcuk would anyone want to post on a boards like that? I mean jesus christ, man, there are hundreds and thousands of message boards on the internet. No-one is holding a gun to you head and forcing you to post here, so if it bothers you that much, why wouldn't you just go somewhere you like better? I really don't understand that attitude. I'm not even going to bother discussing whether your're right or wrong, but you're bitching and whinging, and yet you're still here. It doesn't make any sense to me.

And op no-one is discussing it because it's all been done before. Nothing anyone can say is going to change your opinion that you're the victim of some sort of conspiracy or other. Pretty much every user who's been on boards for a while has read all these arguments before, but you're not here to debate, you're here to whinge and moan. You weren't the first, you won't be the last, and boards will chug on quite happily with or without you.
