The board will only be as good as the moderators.....

so tell me pansi... you think it is worse now than before? did you like the 40 new threads a day - mainly variations on 2 themes - so that a thread could be on page within 10 hours of being created? Did you enjoy the high levels os abuse, some of it truly shocking?

Is that REALLY what you want?

Just less ridiculous rules would be a start. Less participation doesn't make it a better forum. DRAH had some really valid points, just because he had a unique way of expressing them shouldn't interfere with his contribution on the forum.

blinkers on..............................

don't look left, right or behind you, there might be something you'd rather not see.

The last charge of BLASPHEMY was laid, in Australia, in 1919
The "offence" has since been removed from the statute books
But it is NOW banned on ozpolitic forums

You can say or hear the "F" word, any time after 9pm on free to air television - without breaking any laws
But it is NOW banned on ozpolitic forums

Vilification by RACE and SEXUAL ORIENTATION is a crime in this country
Yet on ozpolitic forums - it is free and open slather

GO FIGURE

!

( ... perhaps "forum rules" should be more in line with
Australian legal and community standards
- rather than

a personal opinion of one in power

?)

LW,
So who did resurrect this thread from oblivion & more importantly WHY?

And, why should it come back to the Politicians Suck board, instead of something more appropriate, like perhaps the Feedback Board or the Relationships or perhaps more appropriate the Extremism Exposed board?

In any event, the "moderation"(?) as demonstrated by yourself (in particular), with the apparent approval of FD will only serve to lessen real debate on this site and probably reduce patronage.

Of course, that may serve as a good PR or "advertising site", for one segment of the Political spectrum, at least for a short time, until those in other parts of the Political spectrum, just get jack of being treated like Jack shite and finally leave the site, which will then go down, quicker than the DOW has over the last few days!

So, good luck & enjoy the site?

As I shall not be appearing here, as much as I have in the past, anyone wanting to catch up with my thoughts, which would exclude LW & a few others here, could Google -
perceptionsnow + forums
perceptionsnow + boards
or go to -

I do comment on other OZ & US boards, plus on various articles.

So, happy posting & watch the Debt!

PS - FD, I never heard back!

If you worked for Westpac I'm sure with those results your bonus would double this year longy. Are you proud of longweekend freediver? And then there was mellie and her socks and lisa and her socks and longweekend.

Fantastic. Anyone who just wants to give there own forum a plug and go out like a little child is welcome to go.

Who would go to your forum when they see how much you cry on here because you have a left wing issue with a moderator who is not left wing. Good riddance to the likes of ya.

Pansi, try going and reading some of the threads on FD's other board Polanimal, and see if that's what you'd like???

Here's one to try:
