dytkos 17,784 Posted July 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 D, you seem to misunderstand the role of a moderator and the function of a public forum. You post on a public forum that is monitored and policed by moderators If you don't like the forum, then there is a simple answer Running off to the forum that still hasn't even established a name for itself and moaning and whinging about this place, whilst just popping back to post shit stirring rubbish doesn't make you a valued member, no matter how good your historical posts may be If you have an issue with me personally, then take that to PM and save the decent forum members the embarrassment of reading your tiresome crap There is a wealth of information and knowledge on this site that there isn't on any other hunting sites. This is one of the reasons why I use it. I do understand the role of a moderator on a forum, its pretty self explanatory. Whichever sites I want to visit other than this one is none of your concern. I wasn't asking to be deleted/removed, I was merely asking the question why members couldn't be removed at their. request without the traumas. Having failed to receive a valid reason why, I'll leave it at that I have no issues with you personally, other than your condescending manner - but you already know that so in future I'll keep my tiresome crap on this subject to myself Cheers, D. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Ideation 8,216 Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 Are any of the mods dissapointed they have either been asked by a member to be removed or you have been forced in some Sence to ban a particular member /'s ?? Because after looking at some / most of them did contribute to the site which shows in their post counts and the likes wer pretty high If you look at the top 50 posters on this site, most are either banned or no longer come on.

danw 1,748 Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 Could a delete account option be added to a members profile so folks could just go without having to make them selves look pricks? 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Bosun11 537 Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 I'm always disappointed when good posting members get a ban, I'm even more disappointed when they request a ban. I've had those pm's, "no mate, I've had enough on here, just ban me" type stuff and after trying to talk 'em round, i've pushed the button.... Hey presto, two weeks later, or sommat like that, they are back.... And the point was..???? Nah, for me it's dead simple... If your on here, enjoy your time, contribute well. If you don't want to be on here, simply don't log on and spare folk the long drawn out bullshit about leaving....! Link to post Share on other sites

And if you look at the last 26,000 these have less than 10 post around 14,000 of them with no posts at all, which in my opinion these should all be banned 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Accip74 7,112 Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 Logging on here can become a habit like anything else..........but if it makes you unhappy, read a book or do so something else .....it's not an addiction ffs....so you shouldn't need assistance to stop using the site IMO 1 Link to post Share on other sites
marshman 7,757 Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 I think I'll have my twobobs worth lol. For me the people that want of or out of THL forum take it to seriously ! The reason for this I believe is because they Care about this forum !! Me I do enjoy reading post on here but at the same time once I log of I forget about it and move on .It's a shame because although it's people I don't know , the people that have left I really do miss their posts and so do a lot of others from what I'm reading. Also can I ask,Mat do you rub this many people up the wrong way in the real world , and if not why do you think a lot of people have taken a dislike to you ? Not being snide it's a genuine question . 1 Link to post Share on other sites
J Darcy 5,871 Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 I'm so glad I'm no longer a Mod. After nearly nine years I asked Ian to take me off the Mod panel and it was a good choice. The thing is, that being a Mod is no fun, and you're constantly being asked to sort of playground fights, bickering and just fools being awkward in general. As well as a raft of people saying "Delete me", then a week later they're back on. And, here's the thing, if anyone, no matter how 'anti-mod' they were was made into a Mod they would do exactly the same as what the other Mod's do. I've been on here since it started, and there's always ups and downs, and I've seen a multitude of little sites spring up, but in every instance after a week or two the lads are back on here. Then there's the prima donna's who like to announce that they're leaving, trying to drum up as many sympathy posts of 'please don't leave' as possible. Those people always made me laugh. The bottom line is that a site of this size cannot survive without Moderation and, indeed, the mods take off many posts and photos that are damaging to our sport. However, I do think that an addition of an 18+ section available by request only, would be a good addition to the site. Like it or not, the internet is here to stay, it is not a fad, or a phase, it's here forever and will be the biggest, most accessable medium for the hunting enthusiast. Without moderation it would be a proper mess. 4 Link to post Share on other sites

Honestly? No. I think some people read posts on the internet wrongly What some folks think is condescending, is often my sense of humour Do I stay awake at night worrying what a few strangers on an internet forum think of me? No. I've got more important things to worry about! Anyway, if anyone does have an issue with me, they're always welcome to take it to PM. Better that than polluting the forum Link to post Share on other sites

As for the new forum how long before stewie is offended by some non event then fucks off into a corner and sulks taking his toys with him? 2 Link to post Share on other sites
