Only once?

He posts quite often on topics of hot affiar

Under a guise thats not so blatant

With IDs that are a little malevolent

Until the ban hammer slams down on said miscreant

There are certain people here who genuinely want SN to be a little less moderated and enjoy all the 'fun' that brings. They present their arguments fairly and logically and although they are seen to complain they do so in constructive manner.

However there are also a small minority of posters who are here to simnply stir up trouble and seek attention by constantly sniping at certain other posters, attacking the mod team or just generally moaning about how great SN used to be and how poor it is now. These people positively revel in their own negativity and feed off each other which results in some of the posts we have seen in the last few days.

I just can't understand why these latter posters keep coming back. If you don't like a certain pub you find another one so why is an Internet forum any different.

I don't think Stu and the mod team always get it right and have said so in policy on a couple of occasions, but their job is not an easy one. For instance some of the threads in the last few days have had good and humourous input from many posters including those from the first group I mention above, but then some of the contributions have overstepped the mark and hence the mods are left with a time consuming job of unpicking each thread or the much quicker option of either deleting or locking it.

SN is far from perfect and is obviously different to the place it was 10 or 5 years ago, but just as change is not all good it is not all bad either so why not make the best of it and if the 'new SN' is no longer for you find somewhere else to hang out.

It couldn't be simpler really could it?

Oh and I think we are way past 'needing to own a Scoob' to be allowed to post here btw although I do so there
Well said F1, I think you have put it at least as well as anyone has so far in this thread.

Someone mentioned Mods ganging up. I would prefer that to the members we have seen ganging up on one bloke!

As has been alluded to on several occasions, some folks are just predisposed to complain about moderation whatever we do. For such individuals, if only one mod intervenes, it''s deemed as over-zealousness, prejudice or inconsistency; if more than one mod intervenes, it's deemed as us going in mob handed or ganging up.

As Stu says: we all get simultaneous notifications of every RTM and all of us are at liberty to act/comment (depending on who happens to be around). Where an individual's behaviour has significant implications i.e. merits a ban, there is, more often than not, a few mods contributing to the decision making process, out of fairness to the user concerned. Either way, any actions are always open to scrutiny by Stu and the other mods.

Yeah, and you should have put 'listen to' instead of 'hear'.


Apart from that, well done!

I dispute that, as the first line has three beats too.

I could have missed "only" out of the last line to good effect, though, giving the rhythm

1..... 2..... 3.....
1..... 2..... 3.....
1... 2... 3... 4...
1..... 2..... 3.....








I wonder if this is too much analysis for Jacko's tastes?

Aye, there are plenty more (and better places) to get tats - PM me for some suggestions if you wish

But as we've repeatedly said Adults forum being for paid members only has nowt to do with making money (mods get sweet FA) and everything to do with keeping the kids and rif raf out!

Not had time to reply to the thread this week.

The fat lobster has narked me off as he seems to target me with some of his typical generalisations. However, I have had a long week and i'm going to spend a few minutes tomorrow posting some "positive" comments.
