But just my opinion hey. I dare say he will pop on here and answer himself at some point. Fair enough, but if you want to join in the banter, which as you well know, can be misconstrued on the Internet, you should resign your post as a mod. As the old saying goes, " you can run with the fox, or you can hunt with the hounds......you can't do both" Cheers. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

No, you're supposed to moderate, and stop the nonsense, not contribute to it. Ive got my own site, and have been a moderator on a few sites, but I'd rather join in the banter, debates, arguments, than moderate them. Yes, everyone is entitled to an opinion, but if you want to express that opinion, you can't be a moderator. You have to give the same consideration to both sides, not just the one you agree with. You are supposed to control the content of posts, not give your opinion on them. Of course you can start posts or contribute to them, but not to become a protagonist in them. I immensely enjoyed your motorcycle posts, but I feel you don't really understand the obligations of being a moderator. Once again, just my opinion, but please don't patronise me, I'm to long in the tooth for that Cheers. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

I resent the "slagging off " accusation. I've been polite, it is you who have used profanity in your replies to me. Ive just said I like to join in the banter, so that recuses me from being a moderator. You have your view of how a moderator should behave......I have mine. Pointless going round in circles, if it gets to a point I no longer want to be on here, I'd simply stop posting, simple as that Cheers.
