Most of the ex-Yahooligans who cause problems here are the same ones who made a
major contribution to the decline and eventual death of the Yahoo boards.

Abuse, denigration, insults and ridicule were their stock-in-trade then, just as now.

Smithy was always one of the 'better' Yahooligans. As was Alinta.


**I was more than prepared to give Longie a fair go as a mod, and supported his attempts to
clean the place up.

You've all seen the thanks I got for THAT! **

Freediver, just an idea.
What if we have a nomination thread and then a vote similar to Pol Animal? I wouldn't normally recommend that here but given you are not too sure about some of the people here it could work. Let's face it the posters here know who is fair minded and who is abusive, they also know who would be a dictator. I get a little concerned with the posters that screech pick me pick me, if you're unsure of who is putting their hand up let us have a vote on the proviso you have the final say.

blessings, you are very observant,

there are many others that do not abuse as well

commitments to divine light would see one such as I

excluded from such pursuits being that of

a moderator on any blog forum though I do contribute

much wisdoms and knowledge upon factual matters

and anti matters for that matter..

I would vote for skippys idea of an election of sorts

for the one whom is desired for the position

from a prospective of neutrality and equality for

the good of all without abuses

which are entirely not necessary

however freewill is observed

within forgiveness and

compassion

Can't.

It finally went belly-up about a month ago.

After death-throes that have been going on since 2010.

to be fair i don't think i've seen abuse by ahovking but saying that i dont read all of his posts neither,...

Moderate? Here?

No.

Quote the contrary, I'm literally ready to walk away altogether, and at the slightest provocation.

LW, Fright-night and Ignorant Loiterer have trolled my every smacking post for months.

I've not complained to the mods, but don't tell me they haven't seen it.

No action appears to have been taken. Ignorant Loiterer, especially, ONLY post with insults and abuse.

*And gets all pissy when I give some back*

And the abuse and denigration from the neo-Nazis who think they should have the only say is
smacking deplorable. Not just towards me, but towards any member who isn't of the far-right persuasion.

Paid-for spam aka Maqqa simply shouldn't BE here. I'd have banned that one on application.

Moderate THIS? Nah. smack that for a game of soldiers! I'd sooner train funnel-Web spiders to jump through a hoop.

Ban me for all I care. I no longer give a smack.

You've already lost the best of the left-wing posters due to giving these foreskins free reign.

And here goes another, unless there are some smacking serious changes made.

There ARE some good, intelligent, caring people on here. Not many, but a few. But they are being
over-ridden and ridiculed/abused at every post by right-wing extremist feckwits, or trolls. Or both.

I won't tolerate the right-wing extremism and fascism displayed by some of our less stable righties.

OR this filthy, stinking Fascist excuse for a government that they've voted in and support despite
its increasingly-obvious failings.

THAT'S why I won't put my hand up as a 'global'.


**No doubt whatsoever that this post will ensure yet more abuse. I no longer care.**

Bye!

I came here as I am in R/L, a nice, easy-going, friendly centre-left bloke who was happy with the odd bit of argy-bargy.

But some of the crap I've been copping lately IS beyond the pale.

I tried to ignore and/or walk away.

But when I came back, so did they.

I've given up trying to do the 'right thing'. They abuse me, they WILL be copping a return serve.

In spades.

I WON'T report, because I'm not a 'lagger' or a 'dog' (although I've warned Ignorant Loiterer more than once). 

I'll just respond in kind.

Treat me as you'd wish to be treated, and all will be well.

Treat me otherwise.... well....

Or you could just ban me, thereby proving my point.
