Have you ever heard of giving a WARNING that to open a link may offend?   You know.... sort of like a 'spoiler alert.'

I gather you are in angst about what Flower posted yet you have no problem repeating it.

Why not PM Freediver, instead of posting this attention demanding hysteria?

Sheesh!

We should not need to have alerts on posts here Aussie.
This is not a place to post things like that.
Why are you so interested in becoming the spokesperson protecting the rights of the vile, and vulgar?

You hardly ever post anything longer than a brief sentence on any subject, yet you seek to defend unnecessary vileness when it appears, what's up with that?

This is just retarded. I ask for help with moderation, and instead I get another bitchfest to moderate. I ought to suspend about half a dozen people who posted here. Take it as a warning.


I'm afraid FD if you suspended half a dozen people on this forum - you'd empty it completely the way it is at present.  Obviously you don't have any spare time to moderate OP - so can you please settle this so everyone can move on?  

The thread was sidetracked, but Tallow the main dissenter to the suggestion of Mozzaok as moderator agreed on this.


Quote:
I will always have the final say in any dispute. While it may not affect the technical powers a person has, you could by agreement limit their right to act to only the more extreme cases, like flower and easel.


So far Oceans, Locutius, Sprintcyclist, Helian, Skippy, BK, Arse_Clown & myself (I might have left someone out) have voted in favour of Mozzaok acting as moderator in an emergency.  

Calanen, Aussie, Tallow & Yadda have had a couple of votes each.

If you can't be bothered with this anymore - just say so and let people decide whether or not they want to stay in an unmoderated forum.  It is just too unstable at the moment.

Mozzaok doesn't want to be moderator, as already established by that poster.

Try a new nominee.

Title: Re: F _R _E _E _D _I _V_ E_ R !!!!!
Post by superdupercooper on Apr 15th, 2009 at 8:28pm
I nominate either Aussie, Calanen, Tallowood or Yadda.

We can do it Australian political style, with preferential voting.

Hopefully you won't have to notice any difference mantra, and we can leave the pettiness behind, and get back to being an interesting little forum, FD has tried to set a pretty tolerant standard here, and in respect for those standards of fairness and tolerance, I will only help out if and when he needs a bit of assistance.

When FD asked me to join this forum he promised the fairenes of moderation.

Mozza is not fair as he thinks himself as above the rules of the forum.

FD if you reneg on your promise you can as well destroy my account at the time when mozza will start political witch hunt as I dont care to be ruled by gestapo man.

Tallow there will be no political witch hunt.  People will keep on arguing the way they always have .  Quite a few of us have known Mozzaok through another forum for a while.  Yes he can be a little direct in his comments, but then you can be as well.  Have you ever thought of the impact of your words on Abu or Muslims in general?

Let's just try and work together on this to attract some old members back and maybe bring in some new ones.  Mozzaok is only a moderator in case of an emergency.

mozza, you should apologise for any insults that you made against me or any other member of this board and also to take a solemn oath that you will never ever try to insult me or any other member of this board again.

Why is it too hard for you to do it when you know well that you broke the rules of the forum?

What I have 'rubbed your nose in' are your own words, which, I assume, especially now as a Moderator, you expect us to believe and accept.  I could have said a great deal more, but I'll not for the moment.

OK, Tallo, you can keep asking for an apology to the end of time, it won't happen.

The reason it won't happen is that you are not an "innocent" victim, no matter whether you think you are or not, the fact that you have always resorted to abusing people when you are frustrated, usually you attack Helian, because their replies fly straight over your head, and sometimes , when you fail to follow a discussion properly, or just get frustrated, so because you have indulged in name calling others, I will not be apologising for doing the same to you.

I would prefer that others don't have a go at Tallo, on my behalf,  but just post as they normally would, and hopefully he will eventually go back to trying to just post sensibly, about issues that concern him.

You  are trying to find excuses for your despicable behaviour by restoring too lies ... how very usual of you.
Try to find any post where I have initiated a personal abuse, you won't, but I can find where you did.
Many helian replies were personally abusive and they went not over my head but under my feet and I used to wipe my feet on them. Most of his replies are spam anyway.

Nice try... For some god unknown reason you believe you comprehend what you read and respond appropriately. You don't. Your English is not good enough for that. This is not so much a criticism as a plain statement of fact. Imagine if an English speaker with a tenuous grasp on your first language tried to engage you in discussion that required a sound grasp on that language... and then tried to take the piss...

You miss subtleties and humour, confusing figurative and vernacular expressions for their literal equivalents. You are in no position to judge the intent of posts you cannot understand. Unfortunately (and to paraphrase a Rumsfeldian) so far you appear to be unaware that you are unaware.

Yeah? You spamming or trolling below? Went right over your head. Learn to comprehend English. If there's one criticism I would definitely make of multiculturalism (if indeed it is to blame) is the silence we English speakers maintain as immigrants mangle the language and think dey speeka dee goo engrish because we're afraid to be seen as racist.

What about your request for moderating Multiculturalism?  I think FD still has to make those decisions.

What about Tallow being able to post again on the Islam board?  Abu looks as though he's gone and Oceans is banned from the Multiculturalism Board.

Yes Aussie.  I like back seat moderating and I am now pretty good at it considering I have been doing it consistently for 3 years.  Most members who post at the same forums as me are used to it.  So do you have any problems with that?   ;D

Aussie I was only joking.  Most people complain if they feel it's warranted.  Oh & I forgot - Sprintcyclist needs to be unbanned from the Islam Board as well.

I doubt it.  It's hardly likely that anyone's going to pay FD so they can moderate Ozpolitic.

Well, it is clear that the new Moderator (s) anointing has delivered quite a blow to the Forum.  The losses are Donald Trump with 1995 Posts, easel with 1994, possibly Tallowood with 2994 and possibly AN with 1088.

Pretty soon, this place will be a sewing circle like Ocean's Forum where there are few people, (four) all having the same point of view, like helian, Mantra, Oceans and Skippy, where all they do is discuss other Forums, like this one.

(Locutius and Mozzaok think exactly alike also.  It would have been better, in my humble opinion, if there was one on the right and one on the left, for balance.)

Not good for longevity.

Abu et al seem to have disappeared over the horizon pre new Mods.

Pity.

Posts like this from 'helian':

They're dummy spitters, Mantra... Some are not used to having their whacko ideas challenged and are deluded by the notion that every opinion is equal to every other (perception relativism). DT took off like a sulk. As if the new moderators were going to prejudice him in any way... Maybe he was pissed because we didn't fall at his feet and nominate him for moderator.


do not help.  He completely ignores the fact that DT made it quite plain that if Mozzaok was handed Global Mod. he would depart.

Unlike some, he was as good as his word, and deserves great credit for that, and not the cheap shot taken by 'helian.'

Ozpolitic has been quieter than this before.  Dozens of people left when the place went through the Muslim phase and it wasn't because of Abu.

It will resurrect itself - it has before.  Helian is right - there has been a major dummy spit, which is fine because most of us do it at times, but there is always the option for them to come back.  

Stop being such a nitpicker Aussie.

What does it matter?  FD likes Mozzaok and wanted someone sensible to moderate in his absence. He also wanted someone who sat in the middle when it came to controversial topics or violent threats obviously.  

No- one voted for Locutius but FD chose him because of his balanced views.

Of course some of us pushed for Mozzaok - big deal. I've seen you push for one or two people to moderate on PA who annoyed the hell out of me - but I accepted it as did the others on the forum.

No, you have not seen that at all.  In fact, the latest appointment, Hebe, was made Mod. in a manner I disagreed with, and I said so.

As for the appointment of Locutius, I reckon Mozzaok did that, not FD.

It mattered to DT, and it does to others, it seems.  I dislike it because it unnecessarily exposed Mozzaok as duplicitous.  Clearly, others do not share your view, and therefore the view of all those from Ocean's Forum, that Mozzaok sits in the middle, or even in fact that he is sensible.

Time will tell, but as I type, it does not look good, and it hasn't since the anointment.

I just logged in and I see at the bottom for the first time in months, posters who have had little or nothiong  to do with Muslim bashing.
Its clear the anti Muslim posters kept many out Aussie ,and now they are coming back since a few of the anti muslimists have left.

Whats wrong with that..err nothing.


The anti Muslimists have been spooked by their own by fears that they cannot control themselves. Thats their problem , none elses.

You may have a valid point aussie, my judgement could be bad, I have performed one action as mod, I removed the thread that Easel made on your board, which you locked immediately you saw it.

I reinforced your decision, and that must certainly bring my judgement and fairness into serious question.

So, as I said, that is it so far, that single removal of a single post, which was Easel again fantasising about how he would like to see certain people die.

So I guess your other speculations are incorrect, maybe it is time to give the crystal ball a clean.

Yes, it truly does.  

Stay out of Member run Forums!  

If I wanted to delete that Thread, I have the button to do it.  Your jack boot removal of it may have an impact on matters outside this Forum.


Quote:
Now that we have a few global moderators as well as specific board moderators, I would like to clarify the role of moderators of the member run boards. If you have a complaint about a post in a member run board and the moderator is active, please approach the board moderator/owner first, before approaching myself or one of the global mdoerators. If the moderator is not active, please send them a PM anyway, in case they have email notification switched on, but it would be reasonable to approach one of the global moderators at the same time.

In general, the global moderators should defer to the board owners on issues arising on their board as much as possible. Common sense should guide this. If it involves a gross violation that needs to be removed in a timely manner (eg personal information, pornography etc) then delete it. If there is a disagreement over what should be allowed on this site, raise the issue with me. Owners of the member run boards are allowed to be as biased as they want. Do not try to get myself or the new global moderators involved if you have a complaint about bias on the member run boards.

Could the moderators of member run boards please make sure I get a copy of any deleted posts that violate the general forum rules. This makes it easier to keep a lid on abusive posters.


Did you comply with ANY of this, including the last about ensuring FD gets a copy, or are you just running your own race no matter what the Rules are?

Well, Aussie, I almost never discuss other forums, unlike yourself here and at other forums (where you’re known for being a stalker and compromising members’ identity). Funny how you’re at your most prolific when there’s trouble in the camp.

DT took off on a sulk. He could have just left, but like all narcissists, he had to leave a dummy spit note but stuck around long enough, of course, to publicly answer the flattering replies.

You seem to have an immoderate passion with moderating…

Thank you for being so considerate Aussie - it is appreciated.  The D's had a couple of days to trace the IP number and copy the contents of that particular post.  They told me to commend you for your diligence and astuteness in locking and isolating the thread so quickly.  It saved them a lot of hard work in sorting through miscellaneous IP's that would have resulted from predictable responses to that particular post.

Mantra,

The chances of people accessing your PMs is more likely by someone you know well or has received considerable knowledge of you and tried some passwords to access your account (social engineering).  It is the most common form of "cracking" (not hacking).

If there is a person or people you likely suspect did it, it probably was one of them.  I would recommend changing the password to your email that you have registered to this forum with and your password for you account here.

Senexx

I have changed my password now Senexx, but the password I used previously was issued from this site and was comprised of numbers and a couple of letters - which I have never used before on any forum. I find it hard to understand how anyone could "crack" the password as I couldn't even remember it and had to often look it up if I needed it to change something in my profile.

Oh So you believe my account was hacked now? when only yesterday you said it was a "stunt" that's why I highlighted this post of yours mantra, it seemed to me that you had gone over to the "dark side" and disregarded what has happened here and elsewhere.

Are you honestly telling me that you don't think that "guest" was IQSRLOW?

Skippy - I don't know. It seems strange that IQ would leave his name there for all to see. It is just too obvious.

The same page comes up for me when I google it - with a greeting from IQSRLOW but there are no personal details on it.

I don't know how a person could do what you say here with your personal details showing on Google.

It's beyond my understanding - you need to take it up with the police, although I doubt they have the time to do anything about it.

Someone extremely computer savvy needs to figure out how this has happened.

The "scam" I mentioned was in regard to you & your mate's concerted efforts to destroy a couple of forums by badmouthing me all over the place as well as DT.

Pointing out my security has been breached is not a "stunt" mantra, it is just pointing out that my security has been breached.
I have no need nor want to "trash"your forum", you have to realise if you support and defend the actions of the likes of IQSRLOW you'll be tainted with the same brush as him.

Yes – that’s what people used to say to me when I defended Oceans. I try to accept everyone Skippy – warts and all.

I’m not defending IQ – but you have to have proof before you can accuse people. It may very well be him, but on the other hand – it could be someone who knows you well.

Who hacked into Skippy's messages at your forum Monk? You and Skippy keep going around saying how unsafe all these forums are - yet you're both still posting on them - Skippy very prolifically at PAA and here.

Neither of you make any sense. If IQ is so dangerous - why is Skippy still posting at these "unsafe" sites?

Have you found out for certain that IQ hacked into your forum or here Monk?

The only place you BOTH choose not to post at is my forum - but it doesn't matter - Political Menagerie is only suitable for those who have the ability to withhold abuse.

Nobody hacked into anywhere at my forum.

Skippy was mistaken that IQ had read his PM to me. It is clear skippy acted unwisely re account names/passwords, leading to the sneak puzzling stuff out, it is what the creep does, safely behind his kbd and proxy address.

Not sure how secure this board is--it is a YABB board and I don't think that has been updated for some time--but probably beyond IQ's skills to hack into an account, but make sure everywhere that you use good passwords, say 12 chars long and with numbers and special characters like "=" or "*" and change passwords regularly--see under Welcome in my Forum, some hints on internet security.

As to your modding, it is too much. If he is rude to the PM he should expect some back and if you interfere people won't come back.

Sorry - I'm really into the Queen's English and I'm sick of swearing and abuse on forums. I delete foul posts at the request of members - big deal. I'm not into abusing people back - it's easier to delete the post if it's offensive.

I only want people there who can behave themselves and write a decent post. If that means only a handful of regular members - so be it. This place started off on less than that.

If you over mod, which you are doing, you will turn people off. "Immature snotnose" is not foul language and is proper English. Apart from your modding beowulf is a big turn off--if he wasn't there and I got a bit pissed off about your modding I might leave it for a while and try your forum again later. But the snotnose is there. Sorry, not interested.

Did I accuse any forum of being unsafe? I said this one runs of YABB which hasn't been updated for a while (not since 2008 anyway.)

I would like to post on your board, I would love for you to post on mine and don't see why you don't. Over to you, Mantra.

If you had made a decent post rather than just visit to call people names - I wouldn't have had to delete it. I want people to feel safe from name calling. Some people just don't like it - including me. I want to run an adult board with some standards. I'm not lowering mine, so those who have the ability to post on a similar level are encouraged. For some people it's too difficult though unfortunately.

No, skippy wasn't lying, the creep had been finding out about him, did find his real name. Skippy was just wrong on how.

Look, if you persist in making your forum a home for genteel elderly spinsters it will be you and beowulf--and don't blame others for not visiting there! It seems beowulf can call Rudd Krudd and that's fine.

I still hope you will visit and post at my forum.

I see it as a calm, friendly place with potential. As much as you run a friendly forum Monk – f......g this and c...t this becomes boring very quickly.

I’m aiming for quality and some substance. If I wanted to use a chat room with one liners – then your forum is the place to go.

Monk - Beowulf is an excellent poster and he doesn't abuse other members. You and Oceans do, yet I know you can both write so well when you choose to.

I'm sorry if you were offended at my comments, but you do swear a lot at your forum. I have to take criticism on the chin - can't you do the same? I can't do anything about the swearing at people on other forums - but on mine I can - because it is a reflection of me and my standards.

Of course it won't appeal to a lot of people - but it does to some and they can post there as themselves without threats, flaming or personal attacks.

Anyone, ever, defending IQ is as insane as the object of their efforts, and Mantra holding up Beo as the example of a responsible poster?
Priceless.

Since Mantra's slow descent into believing paranoid, racist, conspiracy theories, and condoning redneck attitudes towards migrants, we have seen a softening of the degree of vitriol spewed in her direction from the keyboard of Beo, but now it seems to have blossommed into something more, which is funny to observe for those with any memory greater than a goldfish, who remember the deep enmity they displayed toward each other for so long.

I have no idea what you guys are even complaining about, but I agree with skippy and darwin, if one was looking for a villain, IQ would be the obvious place to start.

Yes if you didn't know better you'd think this was about mantra wouldn't you Mozz? ,but no, this is about IQSRLOW using my name on forums. Like he did here, IQ has been using my name on forums but not just my first name like here, but on mantras forum he called me Mr X( not the real initial, I've changed it) then on another forum he actually used my surname.
Now, if you were to read mantras whine you'd think I'd done something wrong, but I suspect she knows a lot more than she is saying as all she has done is support IQ and try to deflect his actions onto anyone else she thinks the mud might stick too. I wonder why that is? as they say ,if you lay with dogs you get fleas, and mantra is in great need of frontline atm.
Mantra, pizz off with your assertions that "I'm lying" you just look the fool you've become. Everyone , can see my details have been hacked, either that or you told your good mate IQ my first name at least, is that why you are acting sooooooooooooooo guilty?
You have no cred mantra, look at your chums, Beowulf, IQSRLOW and deepy, everyone else thinks of you for what you are, a very nasty old biddy, with no idea.Now run back to your forum and play with your chums, we don't need to see your diversion tactics here, no one believes you, I'm just so sorry I stood up for you for so long when everybody was telling me you couldn't be trusted, I've learnt my lesson, I'll never trust you again.

Nothing is “blossoming” Mozzaok – Beowulf and I are just used to each other as I am used to you and others and I don’t remember any great enmity towards each other. You have read it wrong.

Yes we argued a lot on Cracker, but I’ve argued with a lot of people and bounced back. I try to look at people as human beings also.

Mozzaok – there are some things you don’t understand about the characters on forums. People like you, me, Beowulf, Skippy, Helian etc all go under one name. There are so many others that use a dozen different names – IQ hasn't since Cracker.  He changed his name on Cracker every time he was banned – but we always knew who he was – he didn’t try and disguise his personality – which yes at times is completely obnoxious.

Don't infer I’ve become some sort of racist redneck. I like to explore both sides of an argument so I can see them clearly and my views are always flexible as I learn more.

I am getting worried about Australia’s population increase because I have children and they will never experience the easy life that I and others of my generation had for so long. There is so much competition out there now for work. I’m sure you and I both remember the days where you could get every job you applied for and more.

People are only numbers today as far as businesses are concerned. When they don’t like what they see here – they just send overseas for some more instead of utilising the abundance of youth we have here.

Your loyalty to IQ is very sweet mantra, as I've been saying for a couple of days( since deepy even suspended IQ for divulging private info) you are out there throwing the mud but you are such a useless thrower that the mud is sticking to  you, All you are doing is showing everyone on at least three forums now, that you are either part of all this or too bloody stupid to work out who is, I'd say a bit of both, You disgust me.

Well nobody hacks posts mantra, but IQSRLOW repeated in a PM to me that I then posted on a forum for all to see, a conversation that I'd had with monk in a PM 4 hours before.
AS I've been saying for days, IQSRLOW has somehow got a hold of my former password, as I was stupid and used that password on every forum I use it would have been very easy for him to look at PMs and my email address on any of those forums, are you really so stupid that you don't get that? or is it just because you are covering for your chum?
In fact IQSRLOW denies it was him, he suggests it was BEOWULF who hacked into my account, which one of your boyfriends was it mantra?

I wonder if the phrase, "Get a life" would elicit more vitriol?

Anyone who uses personal info is a total jerk, and should be banned from any forum.

Anybody who gets too wrapped up in the importance of their own opinions is deluding themselves( I am looking in Beo's direction, lol), this is just a place to chat, and share ideas, and for those who still retain the ability, to learn.

That is a pretty good deal for most, I know that I have learned a great deal from many posters here, and had great fun with others who would not recognise an original thought even if it had it's wild and wicked way with their grey matter.

Goodbye Mantra, I suppose it is a good thing that you cannot remember the nastiness that you and Beo felt for each other for so long, a poor memory at least provides lots of opportunities for fresh starts.

Just try and remember, if it is ever a complex issue, just blame it on a secret zionist conspiracy and you will have plenty of people to agree with you. ;)

John Cleese as Freediver: This Forum is dead!

Michael Palin as Mugaussie: No, no, its just sleeping!

JC:This Forum is bereft of life!

MP: It is just pining for the fjiords!

JC (incredulous, high pitched voice) Pining for the fjiords? It's dead!

MP: No, its just sleeping, beautiful plumage, eh squire?

JC: This Forum has joined the Invisible Choir, it is deceased, bereft of life it rests in peace!

MP: No, no. Look, when it wakes up it will go, Vvvooommm!!!!!!!

JC: Listen Tosh, this forum wouldn't go Voom if you put a million volts through it! It's smacking snuffed it!
