Why someone has attempted to silence me by editing one of my posts and deleting another. I reported a post of a user calling me a dick, only for a day later to have a mod PM me and say he wouldn’t take action as it is acceptable to call people on this forum. Now I just have checked and one of my posts has been edited and another has been outright deleted I assume, as the mods dont want to you to see posts that criticise them. Disgraceful and Im the victim in all this as Ive been picked on and now silenced for speaking out. That same mod has locked my threads in an attempt to silence me once more. I think we need a discussion about this as Im quite upset about the agenda against me.  |

If at first you don't succeed, try, try and try again.

And there I thought that we were having a sensible discussion by PM.

We can see that a mod is clearly trying to talk to you privately - c'mon man!

We can see that a mod is clearly trying to talk to you privately - c'mon man! I’m personally always happy to talk privately if people have issues, without going down the report procedure. But some people just don’t want to talk or have an agenda. Cheers for the support. |

I have to talk through with some people that, for reasons I don't or can't understand, won't listen to reason or calm down enough to logically work through something. Eventually cooler heads prevail and its plain sailing from then onwards. Good luck chap |

Then we PM’ed and nothing was done. I only made this thread so people can have a grownup discussion but of course they cant and the bullying starts in here aswell |

Haven’t you got homework to do? |

I have been silenced ! says the bloke who’s started a thread claiming he’s been silenced but is plastering it all over the forum he’s been silenced from. go figure 🤔 |

55 posts in and you've decided to create a new forum?
I've not contributed much to the threads you've been part of, but I have read a lot of them, and I personally think you're taking this all way too seriously. It's an internet forum for crying out loud. You're entitled to your opinion, and others are entitled to theirs. Some, yourself included, engage in heated debates because of the heated way in which you put your opinions across. Nothing wrong with that. Just don't take it all to heart and all so seriously. It's a forum about a football club that we all support and want to do well. Try to remember that it should be something you enjoy doing.

We have a wonderful community here. We have posters who are clever, passionate and loyal. We have very intelligent posters and funny posters. We have posters who are happy to put in the work so that others may enjoy the forum more. We have kind posters and generous posters. And every one of you is a Gashead. You should all be proud of this community of ours.
It's the kind of forum I love and would want to use.
Sadly though, it seems of late that we seem to have stopped showing the respect we would normally have taken for granted from our fellow Gasheads.
Its time to say that enough is enough.
We would like to draw a line in the sand of what should be accepted from all Gaschat users.
Attacking fellow posters. Please, if you disagree with someone break down or counter their argument. Do not personally abuse other users.
WUMs. We are all for playing devils advocate but it would be nice if this were done to further debate not just to get a reaction. If you do choose to wind others up deliberately don't come crying to the Mods if someone calls you out on it.
Troll threads. They are not funny. By all means be creative when starting threads and ambiguous titles can be amusing but deliberate attempts to wind up and mislead need to stop. This would include malicious posts on Matchday threads in this. People use this forum as a means to stay in touch with what's going on, not to have bogus info because 'its just a joke'.
"It's a forum, I can say what I like" Sorry, no you can't. Just as you can't in any other aspect of your life. Just because you think something that does not mean posting it here is ok. Moderate yourselves. Think about what you have to say and what is the most appropriate way to say it.
Banter. Banter is great but for it to work there has to be complicity with the people on the receiving end. You cannot just abuse someone and then flip it off as just having a laugh. Personally, I am happy to post 'abuse' about certain users here because I know them, they are in on the joke. I certainly would not think it ok to abuse anyone and everyone.
Respect one another. Try to understand that we all have different views. There is a chance that your strongly held view may not be shared by others and you may even be wrong.
Mods are posters first, Mods second. If we disagree with you its because our opinion is different. We are not seeking to control the agenda or censor your view. We also make mistakes. We are not above reproach and we must also follow the rules.
If people feel unable to follow these pretty fair and straight forward guidelines then we will have to look at ways of enforcing the rules here. We may get this wrong sometimes but we will try our best. The easiet way to avoid bad modding is to follow the above rules, thereby making us redundant!
I apologize if this post upsets anyone and in all honesty we are really sad that we've felt the need to post this again at all.
You will also note that we are not naming names here, and we do not want anyone else to. We want you all to look at yourselves, not any other poster. We will be doing the same.
Below is excerpts from a post I made a very long time ago when the forum first started up. I have copied
Just a polite reminder for all forum users....
Please be civil to ALL other users of this forum.
Respect that some users will have a different view to your own.
Understand that despite all you may believe, you may not always be right.
Constructively attack posts not posters.
Do not post deliberately insulting or inflammatory remarks towards other users.
The Mods are users here too. Just because we don't agree with a post does not mean we are censoring it or trying to stop a debate. We are just fans too.
Mods don't always agree with other mods so please dispel the notion we are a closed shop. Feel free to challenge any posts made by us if you don't agree. I know I will.
Please do not engage in tit for tat insults and slanging matches. You both end up looking silly.
Please help yourselves make this forum a place you enjoy coming to.
The mod team will continue to do all it can to ensure that the above guidelines are adhered to at all times whilst still ensuring a decent level of humour and banter is tolerated.
Where necessary posts will be altered or even deleted at the moderating team's discretion. We hope that this is seldom required. We are happy to discuss any such matters in pm as and when they arise.
Have fun.
