I mean he stole more than that, but the Bishop of Digne let him off! 😉 Don't think there'll be any let offs here though!

There have been others, but most recent was yesterday when I asked ‘THFC deal?’ in response to a Trix comment because I wasn’t sure if talking about Bayern and received this along with deletion of my post and exclusion from the transfer section.

Sounds like you caught a moderator having an off day. It happens in every forum.

I actually appreciate the heavy moderation and tight rules here.. people tend to talk too much shit and threads often derail into off-topic conversations

Anyone else fed up with this and the sarky, childish and abrasive comments left on feedback?

I’ve been a member of various car and sport forums as vehicle and tastes have changed and never come across it like this before!

Wait for the moderation of this thread! 😆

Head to COYS, they have a fair and open forum with minimal moderation

haha

We repeat the rules on multiple occasions, warning after warning is given and we show patience in quantity.

Yet, after all that, when someone breaks the rules or enough is enough, usually after multiple warnings get ignored, it's 'heavy handed', it's SC (or me) that's at fault, it's then that you care. The whole idea that the modding is heavy handed is an absolute fucking joke, look inwards and take responsibility instead of this pathetic childish nonsense.

Can’t comment. Insufficient priviliges.

You love a bit of heavy handed moderation and you know it.

I kinda like the idea of something along the lines of a six month ban for a first offence, then maybe a year, progressing to a full get the fuck out.

But then I also understand that's almost impossible to do for the mods so the best thing is to try to post in the itk thread as little as possible because to be honest, most of what's said there could go into other threads.

Are some people hard done by? Probably but we can't really expect the mods to keep a spreadsheet on each member and what they've done.

I got what I considered to be an unfair ban once and managed to grovel my way back, for which I'm very grateful and as a consequence of that, try to very rarely get involved with the itk thread itself.

It's easy to get sucked into the discussion but it's not so easy to do the sucking off that may regain your access! 😁

It’s a learning experience. Forums are for opinions. Sometimes not smart ones.
So be kind….





….to my second account i was drunk.

I post on a few forums and SC is, by some considerable distance, the least heavy-handed of those when it comes to moderation.

Can we get a check on harrier, he hasn't now gone missing has he?! .....

I prefer the way they moderate this place. I would have to see the utter shit that would be posted everywhere if not!

Generally? Or just in the transfer section?
I emphasise "least"! I.e. not heavy handed.

I mean in general. My impression is that the mods here try to give people a chance to sort themselves out.

I agree. I had a little gander at TFC when there were a few ex SCers melting down about @Archibald&Crooks (I mean, who wouldn't want to watch that?!) and Christ alive, that place really is a free for all.

So for me, this place is run pretty well and it makes it a nice place to be.

Ah, sorry, I completely misread your post!
I blame the fact that I've spent the last three hours throwing down to my son in the cricket nets and now, there's not a single part of me which isn't completely fucked.
I'm too old for that shit.

I take it you have never been a member of COYS then! I was banned for life from there for not posting every single day.

Count yourself lucky that @Archibald&Crooks gave you a little note as to why your post was deleted. Normally he goes in dry with the banstick that hasn't been washed in months.
