That doesn't sound like a very clear "basic rule" to me, nor an attitude I would expect from any moderater, let alone a global one. Originally Posted By: Global Mod Pete the Greek is an official. He refs and runs the line and comes on these forums and gives a good account of himself. He's never complained. So it only matters if the person it's aimed at complains? It doesn't matter that a "basic rule" has been breached? I find that hard to believe, as I find it hard to believe that all of the posts that have recently been deleted are as the result of complaints or all of the people that have been banned recently are as the result of complaints.

Jeff Hamnett TSF Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 fm , ive moaned about deleted threads, and posts. some stuff had to go and some "not guiltys" went with it. minority spoiling for majority. seeing as i am not going to volunteer to mod or help monitor ill live with it. my view is if a member feels abused threatened or any of the phrases they should complain and only them, the rest of us can argue here, not run to teacher. one things for sure the debate is now more intelligent.

Global Mod Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 You've taken it upon yourself to take umbrage at posts aimed at Pete the Greek. He's a good poster and answers when he feels the need. I'm not condescending enough to break his flow. If PTG is not happy he'll read this and tell me. Bannings have already been explained. Quote of the Month is popular probably for the opposite reason you find the need to continually scroll the forums and post it. The majority of posters enjoyment on here often doesn't equate to what is right and non abusive - i.e there has been a run of the majority of posters running wild with abuse which will not be allowed to continue. You and every other poster on here can decide if you want to enjoy these forums for the football and fun and humour with like minded footy fans without the need to abuse and perpetually insult or you will not continue...

That's a minimum of 25 people. Possibly more if some people only had one vote instead of two. If you find it boring you would appear to be in a minority. Originally Posted By: Uncle Urchin the avartar that spidermanor sent to neutral fan is a breach of an individuals privacy and rights and yet you think its funny...sorry but its bullying.... Nothing to do with me, UU, but it strikes me as a little OTT scaremongering on your part. Originally Posted By: Uncle Urchin horace accuses essex folk of deleting threads....he quite clearly means me but I am not a mod.... clip Rods has "named and shamed" you as a mod on another thread. There is a theory going around that you are the Global Mod. Personally, I don't care who the Global Mod is. All I'm concerned with is that their holier than thou attitude is taking away (literally) free speech and ruining this forum. Originally Posted By: Uncle Urchin personally I think you are all up your own arses and actually started to believe that this forum was your own private domain.... Not sure anyone believed that. But it will be interesting to see if anyone reports the first part of that sentence as being offensive and what action is taken. I haven't got a problem with it but you seem to think there are an awful lot of sensitive souls reading this forum! Originally Posted By: Uncle Urchin ask yourself this.... why did Ian appoint a global mod...? Because neither Wader nor NF, for their own reasons, wanted to continue as moderators and Ian is too unwell to give this site the attention he would like to, particularly when he's receiving bundles of unnecessary PMs/e-mails from the likes of clip Rods.

Rhodes Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 TheSpursFan - Football Man has never forgiven Uncle Urchin for a spat they had on here a couple of seasons ago following a match at Bridge Avenue between Hornchurch and Potters Bar Town. There was a theft from one of the dressing rooms and, if I recall, Football Man tried to ham handedly suggest that Unc knew something about it which obviously he didn't, Unc then put him in his place in no uncertain terms and publicly made him look 'this big'.

Sprocket 1 Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 personally I think you are all up your own arses and actually started to believe that this forum was your own private domain.... I am personally very offended by this statement...aside the fact that i have been on the lash all night (celebrating Hertfords first win of the season) and am feeling relaxed and supple...i still think that i would struggle to get up my own [****!!****]. As for believing that this forum is our own...i am a real supporter of a SSML member team which you are not so what gives you the right to dictate what is what on here? PS unlucky yesterday.

syd_lexic Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 This is getting extremely petty now & in danger of becoming a 'saddo zone'. Banter & opinions is what forums are all about. FM sure Q of the M is popular, but that's because Rhodesy (or Clip Rods as you unfunnily call him) makes it. He plays the game & most of his posts are very much tongue in cheek. Sometimes he does bark up the wrong tree & gets it wildly wrong but this site would be very boring without posters like him. At the end of the day, the guy loves his football & is in no way a bully or coward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During that article, "clip Rods" came out as the Hebrew translation of his name and, despite some deviations, has generally stuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football Man Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Okay, clip Rods, this is one of those very exceptional occasions when I shall respond to you directly.

Ineresting that Football Man has commented on everything else but this post I hadn't commented on that post because, as you well know, I am completely ignoring your useless ramblings as a general rule. Originally Posted By: Rhodes he never touches on anything when caught with his trousers down such as confirming he was at Fratton Park last Monday Last Monday evening I watched Highworth Town v Shrivenham in the Hellenic League Premier Division (5-0 to Highworth) so who's been caught with their trousers down now? How much [****!!****] do you have to spout before you learn to shut up? Originally Posted By: Rhodes how he managed to obtain a ticket to the Rangers v Zenit UEFA Cup Final when over 100,000 Rangers fans were left without. I actually obtained two tickets and how I got them is none of your business. I am now resuming ignoring your constant twittering of rubbish. However, before I go, you may be interested to learn that I have decided not to continue with the Quote of the Month poll on this forum. That is not to say that the poll will not continue and those that want to continue to laugh AT you already know how to do so.
