I don't have any proof, but I saw something , that reminded me of the cat ,that ate the cream

[nun ya]

Obviously, I missed something. 

But, I think usually when someone gets banned, they don't need any help getting there.

I try to be nice, If I can't,  I remove myself from the situation

Veiled insults are still insults

You are essentially endorsing a gang up on a poster you deem to be a bully.

That sounds like bully behavior.

I imagine that the moderators are as bored with the blandness of the forums now that most of the juice has been sucked out of them!

I think the "juice" has been sucked out of the boards.

It's (mostly)  all white bread and strained carrots.

I'm probably in the minority, but  over moderation, can ruin a  forum ,imho

I liked it, when we had the old world news and views forum, being  a centrist, I usually got run over by  both sides, but it's just life

It is nothing personal ,we always don't agree..I like the people here for the most part. I can't think of anyone I would ban, and wish the ban were lifted ,so people could return

Yes, it went from  less to more , there should be say two warnings, and nothing to do with poster reporting ,only with mods , something isn't right on here any longer.

Getting interesting ....conspiracy theories now.

I think anyone who is banned or threatened with banning or has posts removed should be able to ask a moderator why.

I find the "challenging moderation" thing to be akin to a kid asking a parent "why" and being told "because I said so that's why".

And then it's not just "because I said so that's why" but it's followed by "Now Go To Your Room"

I remember when on certain threads by certain posters ,people would gang up on the op .it happened quite a few times,was not unusual.

I like the way the Board is set up - easy to find what you're looking for.  I don't care so much for the moderating of it.  It makes me feel like my choices are being limited by some arbitrary people who view certain posts as 'bad' for the rest of us.
