This, in recent weeks, has increasingly become an important issue and it is essential that I shed light on it here on the main board (if Saint Charlie’s “disciplinary action” thread was left to run its course on here, so should mine).

 

The mods and their “modding” (if you will) have become absolutely ridiculous. These guys rule with an iron fist like no other. They make the Gestapo look like Keystone Kops! Seriously, who do they think they are? I won’t name names, but I’m sure you all know who I’m talking about.

 

Recently they’ve been clamping down on these forums like mad. Locking threads unnecessarily, banning posters for no reason, even interfering and blocking PMs between me and Glasgow! They’re making a meal out of everything and always looking for a sorry excuse to take action and wield their authority. As I recall from the halcyon days of Saints Forever, the likes of Simon and Baj would never meddle with things they had no right to. When they did meddle, it was all in good nature. Instead of enforcing their opinions on others, they’d take the ****. Instead of locking a thread, they’d ignore it! It was the internet the way it was meant to be.

 

Let me make myself clear, I have always been polite with everybody and always watched my language, yet in all the time I’ve been here, not ONCE did I ever feel like I had freedom of expression. I’ve always felt a sword of Damocles over my head every time I post. Yet I have done nothing at all to merit such surveillance or the recent ban I incurred. The only crime I ever committed was showing a difference of opinion. Is this what I and everybody else paid £5 for?

 

It is time to put an end to this. In an age where brutal dictators are being deposed, and the long oppressed citizens are standing up to the authorities with riots and demonstrations, it is important for everybody here who believes in freedom and equality to stand up and do what is right. Let’s petition Steve Grant to bring about a switchover in the mods.

 

Hopefully 2014 will be a good year for SWF. Let’s get it off to a good start by coming together to overthrow this corrupt regime.
