It's a pity, there is nothing better than a little banter, and disagreement amongst the Forum members, the main thing however, it must be tongue in cheek.
Why some people have to be NASTY as well is way beyond me. Yes I have read DS threads on the Disco Forum and sorry, but he can go way off line.

Now rumour has it, ADY was going to Ban BC, but looks like he was one jump ahead of the posse, jumped ship to join his Pikey mates Rolling with laughter In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Frightened away from the Sports due to crank failures
Gone - A couple of RRS, A couple of Disco's. However thinking of another Sport.

I read Martins post there:

Quote:
Can I just clearly state for the record that Discotres has decided to leave because feels he should not comply with the requests I have made to find an equilibrium level for his deals/off topic posts on the forum.

There are many who like these, and many who don't. I have therefore been stuck in the middle, as usual, trying to find a compromise to keep as many happy as possible.

In this case, Discotres has totally refused to work with me, he has insisted time and time again that he knows best for the forum and that he is totally free to post whatever he wants.

At no point have I said that the posting is to stop or that he is to be stopped from posting anything. I have tried to be reasonable and provide a solution but been ignored at every request.

I feel this grand expression of his leaving is designed to turn forum membership (in particular, those who support him) against me. What I have tried to do is negotiate a balance and keep as many forum members as happy as possible. I want everyone to know that I have been rebuffed every time when trying to do this.

There does come a point where I have to think that this is being done on purpose.

Any questions about this I am more than happy to answer.


I have some experience of forum management and Martin is right. Occasionally you can get a high post poster who wants to tell you how it should be done, even though it isn't his beans that pays the hosting each month.

Also, whats with the big swan song? If you are narked off, just go. Sign out and don't come back. Why make it an event? That is simply attention seeking.

And I'll tell you why such people attention seek: Hoping people will beg them to stay and then turn against the admin so they get their way. Never works. People just snigger and tell them to clear off, as Bodsy did.

Is moderation perfect? Probably not. It never is. It seems mostly alright here, I doubt it differs much there. That we are all here suggests nothing too serious is going on.

Martin doesn't really need to explain himself. He makes the rules he thinks best for the site. If you dislike them so much then go start your own site. Simples.

I'll put a fiver that the guy will be back in a month. They always are.

I think the sign of good moderation on a forum is that you don't notice it happening. Most of the time I forget that this site even has moderators - "well done" and "thanks" to Martin and the team for doing it.

They're helped by us all being such fine fellows of course! Rolling with laughter 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

I have heard from a reliable source (thanks BC) that some of the mods are not only open to bribery but encourage it Whistle In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Frightened away from the Sports due to crank failures
