Moderation on blonde Poker

[celtic]

I think you're right Paul that the mods team could do with one or two of the younger forum members on board to help bridge the gap a bit.

itl never happen claire.

so u never answered my question.

which of the "long term" members dont post anymore due to the forum atmosphere?

I did answer

bob fetta and claire (claw75) are they the same person? lol

sorry,  you've wooshed me there, although I can understand the confusion given that Boba has declared that he is also 26 

lol i thought u werent a day over 25 claire 

u stated a number of long term blondes dont post anymore due to atmosphere on blonde. i just wondered who?

OK - I thought I'd already answered that. You asked who has left and publically stated it was due to atmosphere. I said, afaik, no one has stated that publically. I also don't know who has left for that reason as I'm not privy to the reasons anyone drifts off, I'm only paraphrasing what has been posted by mods beforehand, and have no reason to think that they've not been truthful when they've said people have told them that's why they don't frequently blonde any more. Presumably if people want it to be publically known that that's why they've stopped posting, they'd say so themselves on the forum.

its easy to quote without names tbh.

i could make all sorts of stuff up as long as i didnt have to produce evidence lol things like 95% of blonde think boshi is st8 or 95% think celtic is good at poker lol

Ban please, what a ridic thing to say, like 95% will ever think boshi is straight.

Not read the whole thread, just the OP but I find it kind of strage that was posted.  I have been in a lot of forums over the years and I always thought blonde was very well run and modded compared to every other place (haha thats not an arselick btw it is genuine opinion)

As a former mod - I'll tell you now it's a damn hard job and generally pretty unforgiving but if people are creating a certain mood then it's the Mods responsibility to sort it out.

If you want a 'anything goes' zone then go look at the Gutshot and see how awful it can be there, if that doesn't change your mind then go make a chatroom somewhere and pick your partner.

I have always liked Cos even though I've never met him but the idea that a one day cooler that got turned into a three day ban was enough to make him declare that he would no longer play on blonde or post on the forum seems petty. It's three days, get over it. Hopefully once he's calmed down he'll realise all his mates are still here and will start posting again.

Oh and ban bolt.

some might say the 3 day ban was also petty.

The individuals broke forum posting guidelines. The moderators are tasked with keeping the forum in line with the community spirit and ethos established over four years. No decision to make a ban of whatever length is taken lightly, especially when we know that the flak from the decision will be there for all to see, and the moderating team regard the decision as entirely appropriate, and some regard it as lenient. Petty is most definitely not the right word.

Should tikay, who is the shareholder in charge of the forum, decide that he has no confidence in the moderators he will no doubt tell us. Until such time its a free forum, with our rules. Play by them or go elsewhere.

floppy used the word petty to describe cos's decision to switch his money from blonde cardroom to another as petty i think some might think that was an inappropriate word to use in that situation as well.

i always love the "play by them or go elsewhere " statement x

And also to leave the forum.

Look, Cos has been posting for a number of years and then gets a short ban (which even he admits he probably deserved) for one day which was lengthened to three days to which he declares he'll never post again - and if that's true it's a crying shame. But it was a silly fight over nothing, I'll call it petty because that's what I believe it is and I really hope Cos was 'blogging in the heat of the moment' and will be back on the forum soon.

And who is this 'some might think' that you're always harping on about? That's pretty vague for someone who says he tells it like it is.

He didn't get a 1 day ban lengthened to 3 days, he got a 24 hour cooler while we decided on the length of the ban, we decided on 3 days.

According to Cos, 3 days is so long that he has decided he will never post again, and yet according to EvilPie it should be a month, otherwise it's not worth doing.

who is the mod behind the "moderating team" name?
replies are to quick for them to be a collective view or statement.

so whose your money on?

[TightEnd]

In the last 24 hours, four moderators have posted on the team account.

Guess away, name a mod you are going to be right.

Jeez, who are they? I'm feeling whooshed without any definites.

I think from now on you can only refer to yourself as the person who tells it 'vaguely like it is'.
