Matt 160 Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 As Malt says, sometimes you are damned if you do, and damned if you don't. What I find offensive, others may just see as free speech, or expression of an opinion. For minor stuff (like the dreaded txt talk) I tend to drop the offender a PM. Sometimes people make a genuine mistake and as long as it's not going to result in an early morning call from the boys in blue I like to give people the chance to edit their own stuff accordingly. On the other hand, some members are just plain stupid, and can't take a hint................. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

vixen 528 Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 What the hell's happened to THL recently? Now every member is eyed with suspicion as to what sex they really are and whether they are an anti or not. Obviously that dick the other day with his provocative comments was an anti, but until we have proof, how can we chuck such accusations about at everyone? That last post about a moderator being an anti, then nothing to back it up with was ludicrous. I've met the man and anything less like an anti I have yet to meet. IMHO locking the post just makes the matter worse. Let the OP put up or shut up. On the wider issue I agree. There is no need for the paranioa we are seeing at the moment; the antis aren't stupid, those that want to do us real harm aren't going to post, or even register on the site; they'll just sit and quietly read what they want and take action at their leisure. The easy way to beat them is not to post illegal subjects, or even things that can be taken out of context and used against us. In terms of the specific thread you are refering to; I had PM communication with the OP and locked the thread while that took place. The thread was then removed as it was unfounded, and frankly, stupid. If anyone has information about a moderator or indeed any member of THL, then please feel free to share it with the site admin or one of the other moderators via PM, but DO NOT post unsubstantiated bollocks and think that it's going to stay up. but it does stay up the site is full of "unsubstantiated bollocks" and i've NEVER seen a post/thread removed only locked.........is there a reason why posts/threads aren't deleted that should be? The reason you don't see removed threads is because they've been removed or hidden! We delete/hide plenty of threads throughout the course of a week, believe me.. Most threads that have been derogatory towards some members or offensive have stayed up, some reach double figures in pages and do not get removed when they should Whats wrong with that, usually cause theres an arguement/debate on the matter. If the person is so bothered about it then they can report it or contact a Mod thats on at the time. Why anyone worries about it baffles me. Doesn't worry me in the least and i dont even know where the report button is, BUT i was just pointing out there are thousands of "unsubstantiated posts" on the site "still up" so don't let it baffle you too much Moan, moan, moan............. yes you need to stop that moaning..............now if i was moaning i'd tell ye, i'm just pointing out the OBVIOUS Quote Link to post Share on other sites

walshie 2,804 Posted April 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 I'd like to know if a thread is locked/deleted, is it down to one mod's discretion (yes we know who that is) or do you discuss it amongst yourselves and vote on it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Matt 160 Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Any mod and the site admin can usually unlock a thread. The now infamous Paulus is a copper thread being a classic example. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That would require us all to be online at once and all the time, it would never work.. So the moderating might be done differently depending on who is online then? Do you have guidelines or is it down to indvidual interpretations? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We have the site rules to go by, anything not covered by those but needing moderating is down to a mods discretion.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
