I'll ask again, who exactly is in charge right now? I dunno if Johnny(Brian) is still around or if someone else is. It's all very confusing.

He's still here but not able to devote as much time due to a family illness.

Why such upset and bad feeling when members are banned?

They know the situation, the rules, and yet they still choose to provoke and in cases, inflame situations... This is a forum principally to provide debate and discussion of the band Fleetwood Mac. Anything else, such as the chit chat forum is a privilidge and as such members must use decorum and respect. Aything contray to that is a gross disrespect of the owners of this site and, indeed, other members.

Any member found treating these simple principles with disrespect must be made an example of and banned. Its very easy to moderate your own posts before hitting enter. There are too many juvenile posts and many, even, senior members should know better.

If you can't moderate your own behaviour then its better you don't post here. Otherwise the moderators of this site will make the decision for you...

because the rules are haphazardly enforced and there is little to no consistent rationale involved when strikes/bans are handed out.

Yeah, ok, I accept the inconsistency. Which may be down to the fact that maybe the choice of moderators in the past was not correct.

But don't forget that they are not paid to do this. Not everyone can switch off their personal opinions when giving a decision. In an ideal world they could, but we don't live in one of those. Not everybody can remain clinical and emotionless with a decision. I can personally and I have many times, but I'm not a mod and don't wish to be one.

But, inconsitencies and good/bad moderating aside. It's not our board to do as we like. SOME form of moderation needs to be applied and I'm sure they do their best, even if it is not entirely logical at times. Bottom line is it's their decision, regardless if we agree or not. The best way to avoid getting into a situation that has the possibility for a ban is to remain polite and respectful of other peoples opinion, even if you disagree strongly.

We asked everyone not to pick on [a certain member] over and over. Two bans were a result of that, very cut and dried. Also, it seems like it isn't consistent but it is. We don't have a transparent process for bans, we don't communicate who got banned or why. So all you get is hearsay on that. When we try to explain our rationale no one wants to hear it, they just want to stay mad.

And for anyone who thinks it sucks here, why do you remain? And why is it so hard to be civil to one another? I just don't get it. Who cares if you don't agree with someone or don't like them, just move on. Focus on those you do like.

irishgrl · #**119** 09-17-2007, 11:51 AM

point taken.

My point entirely.. Just put a little differently!
