Where We Go What We Do

[Sadact7]

not much needs to happen

remove zambo's mod badge

Wibble is as bad as, if not worse than Zammers.

If one goes they both go, imo.

Why are you so bothered about mods? Mark will reverse any bans they make on you and the Shat Pack.

Northbank.

Go out. Observe how other males interact. Study it.

You may then make some friends.

For a trial period that will be reviewed every week and more often if needed................

Pandemonium goes unmoderated - as far as possible. The rest of the forum is lightly (and quietly) moderated - as far as possible. Any housekeeping can continue as before. However, the rules, as they are, appear to be inoperable as they appear to be interpreted in completely different ways by various groups of forum users.

If a thread is seen to be descending into something beyond reasonable tolerance then a PM to posters involved should be the first action, if it continues after that then during the trial anything can be referred to me for action.

Overall, the forum will have three guiding rules to protect the forum, minimise disruption and mitigate against any action being taken against the forum.

1. Any users posting words, images or other media items that might bring the forum into disrepute will be politely warned about their behaviour and if they choose to ignore the warning then they will find their ability to post messages impaired at the owner's discretion. Any actions taken in this category will be based on the tone and wording used. Opinion is valued, abuse isn't tolerated.
2. Any posters appearing to act in a deliberately destructive manner will be politely warned about their behaviour and if they choose to ignore the warning then they will find their ability to post messages impaired at the owner's discretion.
3. The forum owner expects everybody using this forum to show respect and tolerance for other users of the forum. All decisions taken will be based on protection of the forum as an entity.

As far as I am concerned the mods are allowed to post on the forum like anybody else and other posters need to accept that during the trial period any action taken beyond a courteous PM will come from me.

Is F & G redundant during this period?

[Lord Notin Kwestion]

Any info about mods being able to troll and goad posters?

Any info about mods being able to troll and goad posters?

Presumably they will be expected to be able to take as good as they give out.

Recent events suggest this may be a struggle for a couple of them.

[Thursty]

Thanks, Mark.

Any thoughts on keeping stuff out of Pandy that doesn't really need to be in there and ought to be in Open Chat, etc?

[mark]

I think that is a reasonable suggestion. Other sections are there to be used like Open Chat and it just needs people to make inspired choices when starting threads.

[mark]

Any info about mods being able to troll and goad posters?

I don't expect anybody to deliberately troll and goad other posters. The forum is supposed to be about fun & enjoyment for everybody who comes here.

Is F & G redundant during this period?

Personally I'd like to see it drop off the page and disappear of its own accord. I think its existence serves as too much of an encouragement towards stupidity but let's see how things go.

[paolo]

northbank, you mentioned the existence of a forum clique, inferring that you know who the members are

you have been asked to name the members, but posted a vague, non-committal response, yet you have been vocal in 'where do we go from here'

please name the members of the clique

[NorthBank]

Mark, how exactly is the forum going to improve when your policy gives people the go ahead to post as much abuse as they want knowing that the worse consequence of that will be a "polite PM"?

[paolo]

any news on the clique?

[NorthBank]

any news on the clique?

The latest news is that they're all still cunts.

[Thursty]

Any news on all the good posters hounded away by spiteful cliques?

[paolo]

any news on the clique?

The latest news is that they're all still cunts.

so despite the accusation of a clique existing, you steadfastly refuse to back up your statement and name the clique members?

poor form, but predicted

[AlcoholBrazil]

any news on the clique?

There is no cliques, except inside the paranoia of people's heads.

Method in Mark's madness.
We are all going to abuse each other out

I see the Gay City Trollers are back.

You, Derek and Northy? England's unwanted hat and scarf.

Why?
Is that the lemming protocol?
