Tis why I vocalised my objection to the thread title in a previous post - but tbh I feel somewhat irritated when an attempt is made to address the name calling only to be followed by more name calling.

Take the Michael to yer hearts content feather. Nothing has changed, your view has been consistent, as has mine. Neither of us is bothered by the other's thoughts in this context.

I do agree with wub that in an instance of flooding or sod like bile, the mods could and likely should take things into their own hands.

This is not that situation though is it. Far from it.

Thanks thoreau, my objection is not to oi, rather to what he did on this occasion. I hope that is now clear to all. I thanked DG for sticking up for my view on this subject, not for anything he then said about his feelings toward oi.

For the avoidance of doubt mate.

I wasn't taking the pish.
It's precisely how I see it.

Imo you have taken a stance of attempting to determine the direction and practice of this site at a safe distance from actual responsibilty.
Chucking your toys out of the pram when things don't go exactly the way you want and hurling abuse and innuedo at those who dared take up some role because someone once told you all cops are bastards. Really?
Your moderation shoulder chip is genuinely tragic to witness.

Oh btw It's not top-down moderation if the community had a say in who the mods/facilitators/what-the-fuck-ever-title are.
Which they did.
No doubt that wasn't conducted entirely to you satisfaction either.
Have a hanky, life is tough.

LOL!!
Was that intended? :p

I could let myself get dragged into this with you feather but tbh I see no need to either counter your view or to dignify it by responding.

For one who wishes no part in such matters, you certainly seem pretty vocal when they arise....
Now jog on back to the kitty cats doing daft things threads where you feel most at home, there's a good chap.

Again for dubs...

My 'unilateral' decision was to move it from Vent to Have a Laugh. Ignoring the fact that my 'unilateral' decision was to put it in Vent, you objected to that, I moved it, you objected to that. Your constructive criticism however has been non-existent.

If I was somehow selling out my anarchist principles I'd be using my position to threaten Dreadnaught with suspensions etc. based on my personal dislike of him, not handing that authority back to the forum when one of it's members expects me to 'moderate' and then facilitating the carrying out of the wishes of the members.

So, back on topic, where should the megathread go?

I'm not a mod.

The forum has reached a general consensus, your doom is to go in one megathread, do you have a preference for which Topic it appears under?

@ WUB i agree with that and if it's true that the mod's don't get paid there is just no need to really criticize them.

@ DG & Dubs, I jokingly told mikey to yell at oioioi yesterday morning because of the exceeding doom threads in general.

@ Dubs, I agree with you about a merge sometimes without a thread being tucked away in the vent never to be seen again.

@ DG & Nov, I don't see any reason you both can't be full time participant's of SZ, time to get it sorted in this thread.

@ Batou, Just remember your living in the wild world of West Virginia which is a free speech only zone.

@ Abs, without you this forum in times of stress shows that male testosterone starts to rage in full force again.

@ Psketti & Gilly, I know both of you are witches who secretly cast spells to harness all of the testosterone.

@ Dogsmilk & I-Batser, first thing i do when i log on is look to see what your talking about in a logic first type of way.

@ SZ as a whole this forum needs to grow because I can't always find my way thru alot of the scattered madness at DIF.

.

Again oi for one of two reasons you are avoiding my point.

You wanted to vent dreadnaught posts, when you couldn't do that you stuck them in the equally insulting have a laugh section.
With no agreement from anyone.

I see that as an abuse of position. Not a huge one by most people's standards ofc but an abuse all the same.

If you cqn show me how the rules have been breached by dreadnaught and where it says those breaches mean your threads cqn be stuck somewhere insulting arbitrarily, i'll concede I am wrong.

If someone posts predictions for the future in the history section we need a rule to say I can move it?


I partly resolved the issue according to the 'general consensus', megathread it. I megathreaded his threads.
I now wait for the general consensus on where it belongs rather than where it doesn't belong.
Until then I'll put it in the category of your choosing because I don't personally give a fuck where it goes. I suspect you'll not nominate a category.

It's ridiculous that SOD trolls get banned yet this guy get;s to hang around, cathar stopped being entertaining years ago, you should ban him and reinstate sod, he at least had entertainment value.

Oh dear, dear dear.

No, no, please, get into it.

Lol, nope. YOU repeatedly claim I wish no part in these matters, I on the otherhand have never made such a statement.
What I have said is that my profession for 20+ years was community work and that taking into account my observations and experiences, you would never make your aspirations work.
*looks around and does not feel the need to retract that statement*

Not being interested in pursuing a fantasy and not being interested in the reality of maintaining a community are not at all the same.

Sorry for enjoying some of the less worthy elements of life.
It must be so draining saving everyone from themselves to the degree that you can't raise a smile at a kitten.

Again, I disappoint you.
So sorry Dad.

@ Novum, can you please remove this :eye roll: emoticon from Sanctum Zone because i honestly think it is always offensive.

Novum, could you please leave this emoticon in place.
Anyone who finds it offensive should probably leave the internet now before they encounter the really offensive stuff.

@ feather,

Would i be wrong to call for a community vote to get rid of the emoticon from Sanctum Zone?

lol, you'd just be wrong to call for a community vote on just about anything
Don't ask why, long story about consensus and all that
