I'm done. Bollocko for mod of the year. Seriously. Best of luck with the other mods. None of them know what they want or what they're doing in AH. *Note. I'm excluding Zohan from that. He's new. I mean, I'm not allowed to do this any more: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055201761 **** that ****. Enjoy AH.…

What's all this about AH being crap lately, only about one out of every hundred threads was ever worth reading. That hasn't changed lately as far as I can see.

Good point ,it aint easy being cheesy .

Awww... boohoo "i got a ban" and i hate the mod for it.

Did you ever hear the phrase "if you've nothing nice to say, STFU"?

And did you ever think that it is good for all users, and the website itself in terms of numbers, if a forum is moderated in a fair and equal manner?

I've contemplated getting off boards.ie altogether on occasion. It really is a joke when a mod bans someone just because of the mood they're in at the time/cause they're drunk, when the person being banned didn't deserve it in the first place.

Why would people want to join a forum that condones that shit?

But my biggest problem with Terry, was that sometimes he banned people JUST BECAUSE THEY DISAGREED WITH HIS VIEWPOINT! NOT BECAUSE THEY BROKE ANY RULES!!

I appreciate that it's a tough role and he put in a lot of hours etc, but I'm glad to see him go.

You actually leaving this time or will you be back in, if possible, an even worse state of permanently bad mood than after your last comeback?

Tbh good call you did recently ban a few people for no apparent reason or that you didn't like them and I'm not about to jump on the "ah it was a laugh" bandwagon over that. It was utter bull****. But still you were a gas mod most of the time.

Never really got you man, you're a difficult guy to handle in arguments, but it's plain to see how much you're highly regarded on here. I'm saddened for the people who are going to miss you. Just in case that sentence is misconstrued, I meant that in the nice way.

It's called thread spoiling and being a dick.

http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/faq.php?faq=bie_faq_guidelines#faq_bie_faq_guidelines_civil

Be Civil (Don't be a dick)

The internet is full of anonymous keyboard warriors being rude to each other. We don’t want that here. We're not saying you have to be super-nice to everyone and sign each post with a little heart, but we DO require that you are at least CIVIL to the humans on the other end of this intertube. Everyone is tired of the muppets online and if you feel you must be a dick to others, you aren’t welcome here.

There is more in heaven and earth than is dreamt of in your philosophy.
Or something like that. Can't remember the exact quote.
Basically means I see more things than you do buddy cos I get to see the previous deleted posts in the thread.

@Thaeydal: He wasn't the only one who expressed being content that Terry is no longer AH mod.

What about all the times Terry was a dick to users in the past?

@ Dr Bollocko: what has previous posts got to do with this? Are you talking about previous posts by the user you threatened to ban?

Yes in fact I am. On this thread. I am sure the poster in question knows what I am referring to.

That notwithstanding this might be best dealt with in a PM conversation if you want to ask me for more clarification.
This is already one messed up farewell thread and not one I want to see from any former moderator of AH moving on. It's depressing. I was away for a few days until this morning. Log in this AM and terry's left (not all of us hated him. Many of us think he was the heart and soul of this place) and all the posters think all the moderators are loons so I have to try and figure out what the hell happened and where we go from here.

@Bob_Harris (Nice trick that) If you can post in this thread without making another dig please feel free.

If people weren't happy with the modding, they've got the best result they could hope for. Not sure there's any additional need for using a farewell thread to put the boot in

I had a previous post removed for no real reason. I think I said something along the lines of:

Pretty harmless you'd have to admit, compared to much of the things posted on here.

Just seems weird to me that you have a fair-well thread, but stick around and continue to post in it, no doubt to lap up the online kudos and bask in the warmth of the arse-licking the guy gets from a lot of people on here.

Sounds like personal abuse. I though you guys didn't take kindly to that. Just another example unbalanced and poor modding.

PS. If you're going to have a fair-well thread, do it with a bit of class like Watty did.
