Simply asking what rule a poster fell foul of is an inquisition? If mods are that touchy round here then I would say it’s a fair and pertinent question so we know if we are likely to fall foul of similar. Its dead simple if you don't want to get banned, free hits and you can give them a good kicking as well are, Paul Tisdale tactics and team selection, the Supporters Club Chairman and executive, any member of the Vice Presidents Club, Nick Higgs. Banning risks are if you criticise any member of the board, question anything financial concerning the club, player recruitment or the sustainable strategy of the club. Stick to these rules and you will safe from the knock on the door at midnight. Absolute nonsense.

What Henbury posts are these? To give you a rough idea, though not sure what the specifics are in this case, we remove posts all the time for various reasons. Personally I would rather mention it on the forum, but some mods prefer to just remove them without comment. Istm that's probably better, quite often coz when I bring them up on the forum it usually ends up in five page arguments and talk of oppression, and stuff like that. The times I've removed posts without mentioning it, then the whole issue seems to pass without comment leading to a more peaceful forum, which is the general idea. Gastower was banned reasonably imo. Swiss shouldn't have been banned and I've unbanned him. The mods who were moderating before and are moderating now, so not really sure why you think there's been a coup. I have had a post removed from the Sunderland tread talking about Sir Tom Nichols (wish we still had him) going to Them. I had no attack on anybody just made a general comment about the quality of Moderating these days... if that upsets the Moderators then i'm sorry, i will be more gentle in the future not to upset your delicate feelings.... PS i fully expect you to remove this with any explanation as to why it needed to be removed Am i bothered ? No Am i bothered about a member of this forum being gravely unwell in hospital YES Who is gravely unwell in hospital?

If he's gravely unwell I suggest he takes a break from posting on the forum. Or even following rovers for that matter. Quite why anyone would want added stress when they're unwell is beyond me.

Nope, everyone is entitled to their opinion. However the forum is getting tired and mainly its caused by personal divisions, targeted personal attacks, cryptic posting, and all sorts of other nonsense and its time for a clean up.
This thread proves that there is a circle of people that talk and conspire to post nothing but nonsense on this forum with the sole goal to divide, WUM and promote agendas. As for Gastower, he was banned as he continually posted in contravention of the rules. If you are unhappy with any post, there is report button. Feel free to use it. Bit like the witch hunt the supporters club are doing at the moment then The SC aren’t capable of such things are they? I mean they promote themselves to be a welcoming, all inclusive, unbiased and democratic organisation don’t they?

I think, in the greater scheme of things, there are more things to worry about. Personally, I asked a very direct question, which was answered.
Can we move on. If the original poster is indeed unwell, good luck mate

You sure that's not the one?
EDIT: Ok, others got there before me. No that is not the one, the one i refer too is similar but was not as general about more "pointed" towards a moderator without mentioning there forum name

Hello my good friend ! Still going strong and making a living with computers Don't post much these days due to the Toxic Moderating on here Nope that's not it, it was posted before this one

No sir, i think you are wrong i did post it and its not there now so i guess you removed it ? I’ve not removed any of your posts Ian and to my knowledge no one else has. AF checked the mod system and could find nothing. maybe the system lost it ? i know it was there because a fellow poster rang me about it and siad it may get me banned Anyway in the great scheme of things its not important, the health of a fellow poster is far more important regardless of what people think about there posts on here

I still enjoy the forum and the way it's moderated. That's it, you want to be a dick about yourself and get banned that's your problem. And relax. Even if you get banned without breaking one of the forum rules. Ok, enough said.

I know it was there, other people read it and asked me about it, now its not there. I'm not bothered, its only a football forum not anything important like the team and how bad our current manager is doing and the dire straits of the club finances like many other teams in LG 1 & 2

Imagine making a post on this forum and - not just a person - but PEOPLE actually picking up the phone to call you about it hahaha. God I wish this system with a mind of its' own could un-delete the post in question, stop mucking about with the audit trail that gives full visibility of such things under all previous instances, and make it available again! I wonder who I'd call? I'd probably take a day or two off of work so that I could go through my phonebook and ensure everyone heard about it. If you're able to remember the content of it, and re-post it, it could maybe be turned in to a movie.

An attention seeking post which deserved its ignorance.

We need moderators to ensure Proboards continue to host our forum. So, they do a necessary but largely thankless task. I might agree or disagree with their decisions (frankly, I might usually not give a monkeys either way) but they always get a pass from me because I recognise that I couldn't be assed to do it myself. It's like people who criticise kids' football coaches decisions. Do it yourself if you don't like the way it's being done. I'm sure they're not exactly bombarded with offers of assistance.

As somewhat of a free speech extremist, the whole concept of moderation is alien to me as I have an inner revulsion at the idea of anyone controlling what anyone else has to say. To me, the whole concept is off. I’d rather hear things which upset me than see that person censored and have their mouth shut, and this only has a boundary at direct, credible threats, and in read in context. The concept seems cowardly, deceitful and spiteful. Note - this is not aimed at our mods, it’s general comment on the nature and scope of censorship and moderation.
I reacted badly recently when a.n other poster didn’t like something written and called for mods to intervene. This really rubs me up wrong more than the moderation itself.
This board is not generally harshly moderated. Although I’ve been ticked off once or twice, it wasn’t done in a bad way and I accept that I am the anomaly, my views are the minority and I can’t live in a world where everything is perfect. I also know that some modding is done for the optics of the board. Regardless of if the mods believe in the right to speech, they will be held liable. A bit like when a manager has to give you a hard time because if he doesn’t, he will be questioned why he didn’t!
I just hope one day other people will see the benefit in giving up their wishes to censor others as it ensured ones owns positions are able to be aired. I have heard many things which upset me, but I don’t think I’ve ever wanted to genuinely take their freedom to be stupid and ignorant away. To me, that’s machievelian, underhand and I feel shows a lack of courage.
Please done anyone take this as an attack, I’m just rambling about moderation in general given this is the topic at hand. And to endorse the moderators here who despite my feelings on this I feel are pretty good compared to others.
