What is to stop us all being mini moderators...having some responsibility for what is being posted? There is a facility for reporting bad posts, and that includes bad language, personal attacks etc. OK so we won't have the ultimate decision about what is delivered to the culprits, but I'm sure it would help the moderators out.
I think the moderators do a good job........but in the end we have a responsibility to ensure that what we post is suitable for the forum and that we abide by rules of common courtesy.

I agree. I've said before that I think we are a fairly self policing forum anyway.

Anything offensive should be brought to the moderator's attention, by means of the report button.

When I'm tempted to perhaps go too far, I stop and think would Marg P. think that what I was about to post was ok?

Oh, Garinda.......now I really DO feel like your mother!

Older, wiser, big Sis.

Margaret Pilkington · 30-06-2007, 17:48

Yeah, that'd be right! (not sure about the wiser)

WillowTheWhisp · 30-06-2007, 18:04

Also remember that the mods can't be here 24/7 so even if you report something it may still be there for a little while.

Margaret Pilkington · 30-06-2007, 18:05

Yes, Willow I should have said that.

I have been a member on here a long time & ive been disgusted at how our forum has turned into the PITS it is becoming.

i hope we can get back to "normal" "sensible" posts & the great banter we used to have.

WHY DRAG ACCYWEB DOWN.?

i personally think one of the instigator's here is willow the wisp,the thing is she does it ever so subletly
that it goes almost un-noticed,have people not noticed how she keeps a thread stoked up bobbing in and out with snide comment's

And the reason for the thread is proved again

I'm sorry if you genuinely believe that as it has never been my intention. If you feel I have made inappropriate posts please do report them to the moderators and they will take appropriate action.

Ive never known Willow to leave snide comments - willows normally the one who calms everything down.

Everyone on here has the right to express an opinion. It does not make that opinion right, or one that we should all adhere to.

I speak as I find....and as far as I am concerned Willow has always shown admirable self control in some heated discussions. She is a respected member of the forum.

I give up to this. It's better elsewhere
