Life now the mods have lost their magic powers

[dune]

Firstly, as i've said (so won't dwell on it), I personally feel sorry for them for how I perceive they were treated, and I also think Baj didn't intend his new "thing" (there is a better word ha ha) to hurt them like it did, but it's done now and Baj has put a great deal of effort into providing this place for us so you have got to cut him some slack and realise he's almost human.

 

But like I say that's all history now, Saints are on the up, and life as a Saints fan is all good at the minute - and so is the forum. Without wishing to blow my own trumpet I have recently been away for a fortnight and surprisingly, but great for my fragile ego, the forums activity and "controversial" (translation = interesting) threads dried up.

 

But (balls that two sentences started with "but") I happen to think that since the mods left this place has not imploded and maybe has even got a bit better. Yeah boundaries are being got very close to, but it just seems to me that everyone is acting more like adults now and having a laugh and it's great to see the silly wars between nemisise (should that be nemeseese as on goose and gooses ) are now not so prevalent and those of us with polar views are able to discuss stuff without it turning into a win at all costs fight to the death.

 

I have put in to be a mod on the mainboard (not a cat in hells chance of getting it ha ha) but I'd be prepared to give it a whirl and be fair with everyone and hopefully basically do nothing, and I think this attitude would've be unthinkable a while back with certain hemenies to settle scores with so maybe on reflection it'd be better just to keep things how they are now and police ourselves like we have done for the past week or so.

E.g I got a comment tonight about a thread i'd started. It broke no rules but it was cvntish and I realised it was cvntish and Baj kindly removed it. In my view a fair number of the worst offending posts break no rules, for e.g i really layed into someone with infractionable language and wording for posting a remark basically scoffing at Markus Liebherrs death. I think I was completely justified in breaking the rules in this instance because the offending posters post was far far worse (but within the rules) and basically he deserved the abuse.

 

Equally giving Delldays abuse is just fun so that should be OK too. Ignore the winky - I don't mean it.

 

So there is two examples of rules being broken, but imo ok to break, and a couple of examples of how we've policed ourselves.

in my humble opinion we are enjoying a post srs era, the cat-fights were justthe storm before the calm, albeit dotted with the odd vomitted ejaculation form his side-kick which no-one really cares about apart from himself.

 

having said that I would love to see all previous bans overturned and a new leaf turned now.

Disagree. Stu is a funny guy and his posts were always interesting. It's not his fault that high %age of tsf posters have been labotomised of their humour cells.

cripes, that does make me a **** then, my bad.
