I've been here almost 3 years and have never seen an offensive post let alone reported one.

Just start a thread entitled GORDON IS A MORON and the BNP are a bunch of fascist tossers and she won't be able to resist responding. I can't do it cos she'll know it's me and she's threatened to come up to scotland wearing her jackboots and carrying her whip. she is ex public school you know.

I don't have time to be anyone's big brother, or sister we act on posts that are reported to us. Now and again we spot spammers or offensive post and take action as needed.

Are you all adults or not? This place always has been and always will be 'lightly moderated'.

Yes, most of us are. Children get sent to the time out chair, not the adults. Once again, as a forum member, my concerns are being swept under the rug.
I used to love this place. Good threads, nice people and have made some friends here too. It is very damaging to the reputation of a forum when 3 of the most frequent posters are banned. and one needs a break. Doesn't that tell you anything?
Grass is greener on the other side? what other side?

We don't have enough hours in the day to read every post. We "moderate". If they are so offensive, or post that should have been reported, REPORT THEM. We can't act on something we know nothing about bring it to our attention if you feel so strongly about it. There are other forums if this one doesn't please you anymore.

Hardly 4 poster are 4 posters they will be treated as all others, doesn't matter how much they post or how much they are liked the rules apply to all.

Grass is greener on the other side? what other side?

Time out for a week to learn to behave is greatly different to 'banned'

What is damaging is when people keep dragging this thread back up with their incorrect perceptions of what is going on.

Seems youve already started the fire. Now lets smoke her out so I can pin her like a fly to the bulletin board and pull her wings off.

Sunshine, I like you so don't take this wrong. This forum can't be moderated too suit 4 members only. It can't be moderated to please just you or anyone else. If the forum is going in a direction you don't particularly like then it is your prerogative to not join in. Not that I'm suggesting that.

Incorrect perception? Is that what I understand all this to be? Guess I had better look up banned and time out and see what the difference is.
