Is it not about time we had a female Moderator on board ?

[charmaine]

I definately posted on my own back , if i had known it would cause all this i dont think i would of bothered 

[Claw75]

then the member was contacted by the individual to ask for the image to be deleted after an answer was given they did not agree with from the mods

Might as well have the whole place unmoderated

If this is a reference to me as well then this is also untrue.  Please stop stating assumptions as fact.  I explained this to you in a pm earlier.  I'm sure tex fitz or the person who contacted him (of their own accord) can clear this one up.

This whole thread highlights for me everything that is wrong with blonde at the moment.

I didn't see the image so I can't comment, I'm not sure that having a female mod would solve this one either as the majority vote would still win. (Please don't start a "lets have more female than male mods" thread please!  )

Perhaps a discussion on what is and isn't acceptable in open forum might be a better idea?

However - the fact that we are members of this forum means that we accept and live by the rules of the forum in most instances and therefore the udgement of the mods, that's what living in a civilised society is about.

If the image really was that bad lets have a discusson about it or perhaps ask a higher voice to make a jugement call - a bit like moving a motion from the house of commons to the house of lords and then to europe etc.

Most people do accept the decision of the mods. or they continue to argue their case. Claw on the other hand contacted other members privately and complained indirectly in an effort to get her own way.

this is untrue and I hope to a public apology for it. I am actually shaking as I type this.  I PMd tightend yesterday about the image.  He dealt with the issue in an appropriate manner by discussing it with the other mods.  He replied to me saying that the moderators had considered the issue and would not be taking action - fine.

I wondered if I was over reacting and wanted to get other female views on the matter.  I PMd three other female members and just asked what their view of the image was and if I was being over sensitive.  I don't keep copies of outgoing PMs but any one of them is welcome to copy the text of my message here for all to say. 

I had no idea Charmaine was going to start this thread and I certainly did not ask her too.  I made my own contribution as I had a recent experience which I deemed to be relevant.



Those are the facts.

its amazing the assumptions people jump to claw. ive not discussed it either and have not had pms with charmaine for months but i get accused of using trojan horse tactics.
calm down now claw bcause it aint worth it

Though obviously this particular thread wouldn't be able to be used as evidence of women being able to defuse situations better than men.

that can be said about men as well though.

But i just got myself more popcorn and beer.

[charmaine]

I pm'd tex , and said a few find his AV tasteless and very politely asked if he would remove it ....... very very nicely .

Those are the facts.

Those facts seem to confirm what I was saying. Remember, I said "complained indirectly"

I didn't say you asked someone to post for you, but I remain convinced as to your motives.

I am sorry you are upset, I am not sorry for posting my opinions.

[TightEnd]

mad, if you didn't ask someone to post for you then I apologise

thanks you tightend. i was offended by what you said, there its out in the open

no problem with straight talking ma'am

[Rooky9]

I think about two pages ago was the point where the Mods would usually have steped in. Both 'sides' seem pretty hot under the collar and this is not going to help at all whilst tempers are like this.

Just take a night to clear heads then take it up calmly in the morn.... if not i am also going to have to go to tesco!

[Ironside]

an item used as a car protector in the recent wsop
