Gorfield made an implication about the player and the club
So you made an implication about his past posting.

Just like Gorfields post where he didn't go into specifics, neither did you. Therefore, it was an implication of wrong doing

The thing is I made no such implication, I clearly stated that he didn't like people talking about him. That's a fact. What's wrong with that exactly? I didn't mention his pay posting at all.

Rikand wrote: »

btw, don't resign on my account.

Gorfield has resigned, so I think that pretty much settles it



This is the one thing that really irks me about this whole situation. Everytime there's an infraction or some bone of contention, it's a "take it to PM's kind of a situation". Why couldnt you have just contact Gorfield by PM and said :: " Hey, you've done this thing before. Cut it out ta feck....." or " remember what happened last time you said something controversial and you got us to delete stuff..... " something like that.

I explained this before, if we do things in private there is a problem, no a warning in public is the problem.
Again he didn't do this before, he complained about someone else doing what he just did himself.

Rikand wrote: »

Nope, instead you publicly imply his past discretions in the thread.

And you can say that you didn't actually say them all you want. You implied there was something more sinister at hand, whether you want to admit it or not. To me, It was implied!

It was through this implication that i was able to find out what had happened before. Whereas before your post, I would have been none the wiser

I didn't even nearly mention anything in his past other than his complaints. Seriously, check my post.
I'm getting a bit sick of people making baseless accusations.
Show me anything I said that implies anything sinister.
I purely referenced referenced the fact that he complained about someone taking about him.
Not once did I mention what it was the other user posted about, yet I'm being castigated here as if I did.

Yep, just as soon as someone presents a shred of evidence for what I'm being accused of.

Btw this is the feedback thread, not the daily mail.

What are you accusing the daily mail of?

Why the daily mail over any other newspaper?

I brought it back up to explain to the poster why what they were doing was wrong.

No I'm the dark night, not what you want but what you need.

There is your problem there, full of your own self importance, you are not a good mod, an you should just stay as a poster, were you can argue your point on everything till your hearts content

ForeRight

Ban them all Greebo pal.

You're gone soft. Old Greebo would be swinging ban hammer like Thor in here.


In Greebo we trust.

Sorry whats not ok? That I reply in exactly the same way as gorfield has accused me of? Am I suddenly not entitled to a point of view, not entitled to defend myself?

Are you not held to a higher standard of behaviour because you're a MOD of the golf forum? Surely you are? I don't think you see that Greebo

cairny

The criticism here is way over the top imo. The original post was so clearly out of line that he had to know a mod comment was coming. You could argue that the reference to the past was a little unnecessary but in the context of his own previous indignation it was well justified.

Why should a mod be held to a higher standard? That's just mad, they're not bishops (as far as we know).

It's as if some of ye have been waiting for an opportunity to have a go at Greebo, this isn't it imo.

Beasty

I have already warned in this thread about posters using it to level specific criticism of mods. That must not be done within the forum. If you have a complaint about a mod, ideally discuss it with the mod via PM first. Your next port of call is a CMod. If you are stll not satisfied you may start a thread in the Help Desk (please note, not the Feedbck forum - that is for widder matters and not specific mod complaints)

If you wish to discuss whether the weight of a sportperson is a valid topic of discussion here, then go ahead. If you wish to discuss specific mods or look to criticise their actions in the forum, this is not the place

If anyone has any questions, please PM me - do not respond to this message in-thread

This is unfair, greebo the poster is seperate to greebo the mod.

Beasty

This really is not the place to discuss such specifics - it is more a point for the general Feedback forum. However I will simply say that within the forum(s) they mod we clearly expect mods both to uphold forum and site rules but also to ensure they do the same themselves within those forums.

Mods are treated no differently than ordinary users when posting outside the forum(s) they mod. That does not preclude any mod from contributing to discussions within the forums they mod (and again if anyone has an issue with that, it should be raised within the Feedback forum, and certainly not this thread)

Again though this is not a matter for discussion here and can we now move away from any specific complaints anyone may have about any specific incident. Forum Feedback threads are started to discuss the general direction of a forum and any forum-specific rules (which never take precedence over site rules)

Steve

I'm going to back Beasty up and say this:
If you have a complaint about a mod, please use the helpdesk forum.
If you have a suggestion that you think would improve the forum, by all means please post it in a civil manner and it will be welcomed.

Please note that any attack / criticism of any member of the forum (be they mod or not) falls under the personal abuse rules and is not tolerated on boards. There are ample mechanisms in place for you to voice any concerns you may have without having to stoop to that.

Seems to me, an occasional poster that Greebo is a poor Mod, gets personal, takes things too far and won't admit to being wrong. Not Mod behaviour no matter what the forum. Seems he's an asshole. Pologies but that's my opinion.

OK, maybe you thought I was kidding?

Have a week off, thanks.

There was a similar "where is GreeBo" thread deleted earlier today so I'll make an assumption that GreeBo is off limits.

There are 7 mods in total here, knock yourself out if you think things are going to be any different.

Pints?

Am I allowed to say the greens in a particular club are crap? (Serious question)

This thread is for feedback on the forum not on courses etc.

If you played the course and were unhappy with the greens thats ok, but if you heard from someone who knew someone who played there.....then thats not! Have a quick look over the charter.

Irony is clearly lost on you...

ForeRight

I think all 7 mods are doing sterling jobs. Keep up the good work gents.


If there's any openings happening I'd like to submit a copy of my cv if an extra pair of fingers are needed.
