Admit it.... if all the none technical forums closed you would be gone. Its just a extension to your living room . You enjoy been part of the "comedy set" here. And i dont mind. but why others thought the likes of PSL and Moses where not acceptable and you are is madness. thats not saying you are not funny etc .Its just how you forced yourself to be "liked" and "in"

usually is not abused but has been on occasion

one of my members of staff made an account and said "hello robin" and was banned by unclebuck and his band of merry men because they thought he was nacro

upon him making a new account and trying to complain in policy, webclown deleted that one as well

the 3rd account was allowed to stay mind!

It has and it does. It takes two people to complete the process which on some occasions is a pain as the spam post may not been seen for a while by another member with banning ability, but on the whole it does the job

So you are a sprinter and I am the long distance runner then

Not true about the technical forums though buddy. If you look through the various forums, you will see that I have posted and joined in on many a topic, not just NSR etc. (though the Hutch is an exception )
I enjoy the comical value on here, yes and I enjoy making some people laugh on here. Thanks for not minding

But as to 'forcing' myself on anyone, well you seem to have the better of me on that in your posts over the years

Exactly, hence the not so obvious user name. There are those who know and there are those who think they know

However, rest assured that if things start turning childish then I will just revert back to working behind the scenes as before and pretty much do what I feel needs doing without your input. I am not here to take unjustified abuse and I assure you i wont take any more than twice from any one person, on here or otherwise.

Maybe you do need to go to bed. Your very very touchy , stop acting like a spoilt child, "Xenophobic" my *** ! You need to wake up and start dealing with more serious racist posts like the ones i Pm'd about. where your team allow racist remarks about Muslims etc to be made.

If you have never heard people joke about Yanks having little History or The world getting a bit fkkd off with Yanks wanting to rule and control the world?

then you have been living under a bed for years.

This is a forum for men, and a few birds and by all accounts now a Trannie !

If my posts upset you then IB have chosen the wrong guy for the job.

Which was a shame as he did have some valid points

Simon installed the system as an alternative to moderating (probably because several who did a lot had left). Perhaps a less autocratic admin style and more empowered moderators would have been the correct choice?

I just learnt to turn my monitor upside down to try and understand what Moses wrote ! But come on...... was he rude? He was a great guy who always wished people and their family well. That been good mannered

As for PSL.......... i still think he is a very senior admin member.

With regards to the poll, its becoming clear to me that for a lot of the problems for which I blamed IB: the blame lay elsewhere...

I agreed with you, apart from your comments about Swiss.
I got on great with PSL and Moses and liked them, a lot. Never thought about turning the thing upside down

It helps that he's from Wallsend though. He gets a round in too, which helps.

IMO, more active moderators are required. I mentioned this in another thread, and Simon replied that 15 mods had logged on that day. Erm so they logged on, did they post anything? No offence to any of the mod team, but the only ones seemingly actively contributing are Sal and Puffy.

Luke, wind your neck in a bit. It's tiresome.

To be honest its too short a period and Stu must have technical stuff to do as well as form a new "team"

all thats happening now is a bit of "stress relief" after a very tense few years >where many believed they had been robbed (£ as well as time in forming the forum)

check back in 6 months would be a better time to see "what's what "

As Micky says (and that patronising reply rubbed me up the wrong way too): they may have logged in but theres only James and Sally doing anything.

You are right, they did

Is Stu still up, if so, err, there are a few disgruntled customers in Policy that require some attention. I am sure the wife won't mind
