Should Admin Bob Go?

[ColinEssex]

Of course Bob should not go. He's a bloody good Admin and does a huge amount to keep this site clean of the porn filth that gets splashed about.

As I said in another thread, I overstepped the mark and got banned for a week, that was not Bob's fault - I pushed him too far.

I NEVER thought I would see those words come from your hands Colin.

Who does that leave:

Pat?
Stewart?
Wazz?
DCrake?
Jon?

Hmmm. I see what you mean, but this is not evidence.

I also thought it seemed out of character for him. I know he ruffled some feathers with his decision to ban Col last week, but let's face it, Col stepped over the line many times and even continued to do so after he was warned...

Exactly and to the best of my knowledge, I haven't ruffled Bob's feathers at all, at least if I have, he hasn't told me and I really do expect that he would have. I just don't know who has changed the poll and I suspect we never will know. My theory is that the moderators will find out who it was and wrap their knuckles, ask them not to do it again but then leave it at that. I have mixed feelings about that. It leaves me looking like the sh1t stirrer but it also leaves the moderators looking shiney clean, and that I'm guessing is a good thing. If my reputation has to be sacraficed for the good of the forum, so be it. I think the work done here is much more important and it is important to get back to being nice to each other.

Don't take it personally. at least your username hasn't been deleted like Rich and Mike375.

I think we all need to take a deep breathe and step back from this. Once the dust has settled perhaps we will see this incident as a warning and get on with helping each other as we have done so well up to now.

Didn't that used to happen here before then?

Perhaps you should read my post properly.

I meant and i think what I posted meant that we should carry on helping each other ie resume our normal behaviour. Please let me know what you thought I meant.

How come I can't see any further than reply number 19 on this thread? Is there an age restriction on them? I am over 18.

Thanks for the insult by the way, what a friendly place this appears to be I meant where on the main boards did this not happen?
i.e. Access problems

 

[KenHigg]

How the heck did you tie a post number to a age limit ???

What insult

 

[puzzled]

What insult

well this part

Perhaps you should read my post properly.

However I do understand that with people posting form all over the world responses can be misunderstood,

 

[Alisa]

What insult

I think he was talking about the "properly" comment. I guess we all have to be super sensitive now! Now that will ruin the forum.

If he thinks that is an insult it's time he joined the real world

 

[puzzled]

If he thinks that is an insult it's time he joined the real world

like some newly elected mods in the jokes thread?

I agree. Way too much touchiness around here.

 

[georgedwilkinson]

Rich,

I'm not a mod. I was explaining why the poster's use of a racial word got censored (by the software). I frankly don't care what words anybody uses in that thread.

I didn't mention anyones name george, why would you think I was referring to you?

 

[georgedwilkinson]

Because I'm the one who explained the reason for the censorship in the joke thread, Rich.

BTW, glad to have you back (I think).

 

[Rabbie]

BTW, glad to have you back (I think).

Is that expressing doubt as to the identity or doubt as to whether you are glad he is back?
