Discussion: A Moderation Decision
ziknik posted a topic in About GlobalEdgeInvestors & GreenEnergyInvestors
It’s really difficult for me to have this debate as I the chip on my shoulder that is bigger than my head. But, this subject is important to me so I am going to try really really hard not to bait anyone in this thread. I hope the mods will allow this debate to take place on the main forum so we get maximum input. I hope everyone can be on/in ‘super careful behaviour mode’ to avoid any need for moderation or perception that moderation is required in this thread. Also, I would like to see the mods participate in this thread. I personally find it rude when moderators refuse to respond to genuine members* making genuine comments, suggestions & complaints [i’m not baiting, I’m just telling you what I think] Right, this is the subject of the thread: Given that GoM has posted his age on more than one occasion and given the average life expectancy in the UK… er… em… he’s probably going to die before his suspension ends – Sorry to put it so bluntly but it’s true (IIRC). So we are talking about a life time ban for a well know and popular member. I understand that a few people here have had disagreements with GoM. But how many of these people support a lifetime ban? Some members will remember that I blew up at GoM and I used every abusive word I could type at him (most of it got deleted). Neither of us got banned and we were able to put our differences aside. Most of the members here are very reasonable people and most members can sort out their own problems with each other. Sometimes it helps to have other well respected members step in and settle things down. I understand that some people are banned for life from this forum as they struggle for various reasons. However, I don’t believe there are many people here who would put GoM in this category. Some more questions: Who can remember why GoM was banned? Who supported the ban? Who thinks the length of the ban is justified? I’d like to think the mod(s) who banned GoM will provide a full response to the questions I have raised above (I don’t know which mods(s) done it btw). That way we can all understand why GoM was banned for life and forget about him like we’ve done with Nolo (or bolo or whatever he was called). ALL comments, answers to questions, other questions, etc are gratefully received from ALL members. * I am aware I [me] don’t exactly fit in to the ‘genuine members’ category given my 2 sockpuppets. I’m thinking more of other members. -

Nope I've been banned 5 times (3 different socks) and only once did I know* the reason for the ban AND the length of the ban. * I didn't agree with it (I thought it was harsh) It's really poor. Ask any of the member who have been banned and they will tell you similar things. Is it any wonder people come back looking for a fight? -

Trouble? 1. DrBubb will shout at you? or 2. This thread will attract trouble causers (me)? If 1: Tell him to shut it - I don't believe DrBubb would say owt to you If 2: There's nothing stopping me starting another thread in the main forum. Even if you banned me, I could sign up another puppet and post in the main forum so I am better off left down here in the gulag. -
I notice Catflap & GTG haven't been around for quite some time. Anyone know where they are?

please do not close this thread. It's harmless. nobody is looking at it and there's no link on the main page. what will you achieve by closing the thread? - Don't answer, just think about it. -
yes it certainly looks that way

They're going to ban you if you don't stop
-
I was worth it as I got a response this time and maybe a positive out come
-
So why do you keep starting threads you know will end in the gulag?
-
I don't like it
-
What's it like talking to yourself in a gulag?
-
Hello

Hello Ziknik
-
Not necessarily directed at G0ldfinger: id5, nice jim, bubble pricker, Steve NW Where are they? EDIT: Oh, I see I'm talking to myself in a gulag again
-
Thanks G0ldfinger. Thank you very much. DON'T change the clock to zero. Change it to ONE and let it tick down again. Trust me, I have a lot of experience in removing suspensions set by other mods and I find letting the clock tick down works better with the software.
-
Have you looked on the administrator log?
-
Did you see my edit above about the PLUS 1 hour?
-
Can Will you say why catflap was suspended? EDIT
-
Is that a minus? It means Catflaps suspension ended 78 days ago and he has not posted since. The clock resets when he posts again. EDIT: That doesn't make any sense, he has posted in the last 78 days. Can you change it to PLUS 1 hour and then see if it ends properly in one hour

There’s a reason these stories never end. The mods here don’t C O M M U N I C A T E Go take a look on Pixel8rs 24knews site. Not one person there (including me) ever mentions CDSWamp and Gom (GoM isn’t banned). You know why I don’t cry continuously on 24Knews? It’s because Pixel8r is polite enough to C O M M U N I C A T E I appreciate you didn’t ban GOM and I appreciate you don’t always have enough time (I do appreciate it when you do reply btw) BUT you’ve knowingly sown the ‘Why isn’t Steve here anymore’ seed and left me hanging for an answer!!! And again and again and again and again and…. It’s the never ending story remember. -
