OK a few issues:
Quote:were you told why you were banned?? of course not.
Yes I actually was, it seems that those in power actually monitior the board and they asked for 1 of my posts to be removed.
Hence the post disappeared and I went on a holiday.
Frankly I wear it as a badge of honour.
Quote:you seem to be little more than a mindless abbott critic at the moment. I look forward to that attitude evaporating and returning to discussing actual politics and policy with a degree of intelligence.
And unfortunately you are nothing but a Abbott cheersquad member ATM, I to look forward to the day we BOTH get back to discussing the issue rather than the party behind it clouding the responses.
Quote:That depends on your definition of success ... if you think success is measured by your ability to cut down any opposing views, than yes you were successful (just going by what other people have said in the past as I wasn't here when you were a mod)
I might be deluding myself here but I think I've earnt a bit of cred on these boards and can with all honesty say Yes Longy was a good mod.
He laid down the rules(or more to the point made the TOS he expected to adhered to) known and warned then banned those that continued to flout them.
Quote:it just demands all the things the current moderators lack: commitment, consistency, presence and a lack of bias. Do it for just a week and the rest is just maintenance.
Correct, but I do wish the currents mods were here a bit more often, from what I've seen they are a pretty cluey bunch, it would be good to read their POV on subjects, but maybe they are only on the board specific to their interest.

Perc is doing a great job, from what I've seen he has no bias.
