Acceptable moderator post query

Sonny noggs

Hi,

The moderator ‘Nosnon’ posted the following in a Current Affairs thread:

Mod-Any chance when you close your account you can take a few of the other bitches with you.
LOCKED

Is this an acceptable post?

I suspect it breaches rules such as ‘not being uncivil’ and ‘attach the post’ as well as being sexist.

I have a screenshot I can attach if needed (in case the mod edits the post).

Ken.

I'm disappointed. I had a bet with myself that there would be a feedback thread within 10 minutes.

Is it acceptable for a moderator to troll on a feedback forum thread?

Sonny noggs

I’ll upload the screenshot later when I am on a laptop.

being fair to nosnon, they didnt specify that the other bitches all had to be right wing so it may not be a left/right wing bias thing

tho a list would be interesting!

I didn’t mention left wing or right wing.

Do the boards.ie Administrators have a protocol for dealing with rogue moderators?

Mr E

Posters in CA/IMHO have been reporting each others' posts all day. Tit for tat.
I might even go as far as to say bitching? (oooh.... report that too!)

Nearly 40 reported posts since 7:30am this morning because people can't have a civilised discussion or debate.

Even on a premiership day and a horrific rugby day, CA/IMHO came out on top of reported posts (by a long way). Congrats.

Nosnon was spot on. Some of you are childish in the extreme (and add some "-ist" words in there too for good measure.)

I’d like this escalated to a proper Administrator please, not an acceptable answer.

Sonny noggs

Is it acceptable for me to call Nosnon a prick? How about a wanker? A kunt?

Mr E

Proper administrator on the way...

Has he done that?

Did I say he had? If a Moderator can call posters ‘bitches’, without any repercussions then I assume posters are free to insult Moderators without repercussions. So I am looking to gauge the level of insult that is deemed acceptable.

Hoping for Gordon to show up.

So basically, the OP of the linked thread said they were going to childishly throw their toys out of the pram.

The mod said "go ahead, no skin off my nose"

The op is still in the pram sulking clutching the toys..

Gordon wouldn't waste his time on this petty rant.

Just to be clear - calling other posters ‘bitches’ is not considered uncivil? It doesn’t break any boards.ie site wide rules or Current Affairs forum rules?

What specific boards members or identifiable individuals were called 'bitches'?

The old "toys out if the pram" post again...thats a boreds special.i dont know if you are drunk again but can you not try at least to be civilised to the op,s query? Is that really too much to ask?

So this is how this is going to go. You may as well close this thread. Nosnan is obviously not going to be censured.

Mr E

It's late Saturday night. No proper administrators around. Please be patient.

I'm confused, what did I post that was uncivil??

For good reason moderator complaints are dealt with in the Help Desk, not Feedback

I'm not sure how "proper" I am, but I will review this complaint

Beasty

The advantage with moving this here is I can leave some of the drivel already posted since I move the thread unapproved. If you don't want to be constructive, please do not bother posting as it will not be approved

Beasty

Looking at the thread started in CA/IMHO, it very clearly did not belong there. I may not have used the terminology that the mod chose to use when closing the thread, but I can fully understand why it was used

Was it acceptable? Well it could have been worded better. Any "insult" was aimed at a troublesome poster who indicated he wanted to leave the site. None of us are perfect. The poster was certainly "bitching" but yes the mod probably went a bit far when referring to them as a "bitch". I will ask the mod to to try and refrain from rising to the bait in the future

As I've already indicated moderator complaints are dealt with here. Please do not start threads in Feedback about any specific moderator or point of moderation. They are dealt with in Help Desk

Beasty

This has been discussed with the mod who accepts it was a heat of the moment reaction. I'm therefor closing this up.
