And there will always be the one or two who resent them for it.

I would take issue with peacock style chest expansion mind you. stamping of authority? absolutely, but we don't make the rules, we just enforce 'em. it is a simple case of numbers.

more mods = more threads watched = more people caught breaking rules and misbehaving.

therefore it will feel like a crackdown, and it kind of is. but on a long term basis :D

Please Dusty, do not get me wrong, resentment is far from what I am talking about - My only "2 resentments" in life is my a) ex-wife milking my earnings on a weekly basis b) not taken those shares in 2003 that would have got the Aston Martin sat in my drive with me a little sooner - not this forum..!:eek::D But hey ho! Resentment is certainly not why i posted here Dusty, Like i stated earlier, the mod appointments were of good characters.

I agree a forum needs good moderation. But some things are becoming way too PBN

At this point, more mods = more threads watched = more silly rules = more silly input = breaking rules = PBN :(

Just reading through the threads as you wanted evidence showed one in particular which wasn't too cool -

I don't think that the situation with Oli from HPG was a good thing tbh, I know people might say I'm being biased being part of HPG for a while, but that wasn't too hot. Whatever people think of Oli, he has tried to keep a steady influx of new blood to the sport and putting him on the ban list, however funny it was wasn't a great move.

I think Oli made some good points which were totally ignored.

Again, he tried to put his point across and was "poo pooed!" then banned - regardless of cost, you shouldn't be banned for a whim or a laugh.

I know this is one minor point but you get the general jist?

I also know that at this point I should shut up at the risk of a) getting flamed by all and sundry b) facing a ban c) or up for BOTW

But what the hell!

You raise good points, and in the correct manner. If I were speaking to you face to face I would hope we could conduct ourselves in such a cordial manner.

I think Oli from HPG may have taken things a little too seriously. BOTW is meant to be a bit of fun, nothing more nothing less. Oli, no disrespect intended aired his rather extreme views very vocally, and very publicly which there was no need for, when a simple PM to any of the mods would have been quite sufficient. My point is Oli may have had a valid point, however he raised it in a totally inappropriate way.

Now I personally have nothing against the guy, nor do any of the other mods, but he certainly knew how to get peoples backs up and that is never a good thing.

I don't think you have much to worry about as far as being nominated goes. I will just ban you and save you the agony of having to wait for a result :p

I do have an inkling of agreement with Oli to be honest. However, I think he went looking for a reason to complain about his ban, but I think the reason he came up with was pretty valid. Why pay for a service to be banned on a whim? That being said, if he hadn't paid for the service, he wouldn't have had a sig, ergo wouldn't have been banned. So it's all his fault realy. What a tool.

Oli getting peoples backs up is a natural thing.... I think it's just his personality and his is slightly "different" but i see both your points.

BOTW isn't some new device we've created to weed out the unliked, it's a bit of fun for all the members of the forum to have a laugh at one unlucky person, and it's been here for quite a while.

A bit of fun, everyone else has taken it gracefully. :)
