Getting banned the most fun you can have on ozpolitics.

I find it interesting how some mods seem to have no trouble finding some people and noticing what they do or say...but never noticing when the bully boys are around.......funny that.

You have to remember that the moderators don't sit on here 24/7 making sure every post is morally correct. (Well, I wouldn't think so anyway?) They probably don't have the time to see every single post that is made. Think about how many members there are here, and how many threads are written, how many posts, etc.

Also, they would all operate differently and have their own perspective of who should or shouldn't be banned. The best thing to do, for your own good, is to stop worrying so much about what the others think and do. Take it with a pinch of salt and don't get emotionally involved.. they aren't really worth it.

And what it wouldn't be, it would.

How about you f-ck right off forever?You'd have to be the mindless, nasty and vindictive poster on here.You're forever crying about how you're hard done by on here, yet you never seem to be banned.You're a f-cking disgrace who makes the terminally stupid out there look intelligent and even, when compared to you, interesting.Your incessant whining is beyond belief.You're really just a f-ckin' idiot. Your crap about how hard done by you are on here is just that, pure and utter crap. You're one of the nastiest characters I've seen on the net.Go away and leave us all in peace from your moronic postings.

That rant was disgusting and uncalled for and deserves a suspension or do you get a special exemption from personally abusing members?

there is no point in me reporting it...as it would only give them a good laugh..

I am fully aware of that Freedumb....however suddenly for n o reason they come into a thread... not to save anyone from relentless PERSONAL abuse...but to threaten them for retaliating with banning...

check above if you havent done so already....

this is not new it is one of the worst I agree.....if I retaliated guess who would get banned..

not that that bothers me anymore...some are doing their best to get rid of me... maybe its time I obliged them... I have never wanted to do that before..[obliges the bullies that is].. but now who the hell cares.

Apparently he's married to someone here who can protect him from the powers of moderation. Aussie should be appointed a global moderator. Some might think he's harsh - but he's at least fair.

its a strange thing...I never like the HATE word..its more than a throw away line for me...but sometimes you can feel their hate cant you??

why w ould someone hate that much they let it overflow on a forum like this...

this is a thread on MODS..I mention who bans the mods..

and get a tirade like that...it almost frightens me to be honest...it wasnt isnt one line...
as you know mantra I have been intimidated by things that have been said about me on here...but this leaves them for dead..

to say I am in shock is putting it mildly there must be somewhere this could be taken further than to a moderator...who may even find it mild...

someone has a very sick mind.plus personality..

You are way out of line by suggesting that I am unfair, Mantra. I am sick of your snide insinuations. You're also out of line in suggesting that just because LGO is my husband, I'd let that post slide.

How about you show me where I've been inconsistent or unfair?

Cods, here are Freediver's rules regarding the member run boards:

freediver wrote on Oct 4^th, 2011 at 11:31am:

It is possible for me to ban members from individual boards, but it is a complicated process. So please follow this procedure. Temporary bans will not be given, so use all other avenues first.

For all members:

Please follow the instructions of board moderators. If you don't like them, cease to use the board. This is the most powerful mechanism you have to handle poor board management. You may of course complain to the mod publicly or privately, but give it up if it is not achieving anything. If they ask you to stop posting on the board, stop posting on the board. If you refuse to follow their instructions, you will be blocked from the board and also suspended from the whole forum.

For board moderators:

1) Warn the member via PM and then publicly that they are breaking the rules.

2) If they persist in being disruptive, send them a PM notifying them that they are banned from the board. Include a link to this post so that they are aware of the ban and my expectations of them under this procedure. CC a copy of this PM to me. At this stage the member is expected to voluntarily refrain from using the board.

3) If they continue to post, advise them publicly that they are banned, or refer them to their PM from you if you want to be more subtle. This is in case they don't read their PMs.

4) If they continue to post, PM me with a link to their public warning and where they posted afterwards, and quotes. I will put in an appropriate ban at that stage. This could be a ban from the board, from the section or from the entire forum.

I will not ban people from individual party boards. On the first offence you will be banned from the entire section (currently 6 boards) or from the entire forum.

For member run boards, I have traditionally banned people from individual boards first, then from the entire section. I will continue this for the moment.

If the 'offence' is particularly nasty the member will be banned or suspended from the entire forum.

The point of this process, and the member run boards in general, is to reduce the workload on myself and the other global mods. I expect the board mods to make a reasonable effort to handle and diffuse a problem themselves before asking for a ban. I do not want the board mods to use bans as part of any personal disagreements.

I WAS BEING SARCASTIC.....

WHAT ABOUT BANNING MODS.... Angry

Banning mods for what? For providing you the information?

Well said. There's a swarm of winged termites on this board who sniff the air and then descend as a group upon anyone who's even slightly Right of Fiddle Castro.

I've never had any problems with mods either, despite coming under torrential downpours of abuse and insult from the Lefties here as though I need intensive moderating to keep from being sin-binned.
