Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[BZN]

Whilst not perfect,I actually think the previous Mods did a pretty good job overall,and kept a lot of the garbage comments and most particularly the vindictive and inflammatory personal vendettas off the forum which the majority have zero interest in reading!!

I've got to congratulate the current Mods again, for the job they have done this year.
They don't need to baby sit us, so they don't, only intervening when a few posters go too far.
I feel they've reached the sweet spot, in knowing when to take control.
Surely, it's up to You and me and all of us mostly, to sort out "the vindictive and inflammatory personal vendettas" and not read them by using the IGNORE function, and only read the posts and posters you find interesting.
Have a Happy and Safe 2024 ck.

I'd like to wish ALL the Mods and @Kul a Very Happy and Peaceful New Year.
You've ALL done an Excellent job in this place improving and maturing into what it is today.

Three, as it turned out, very bad choices as Mods were removed from the Mod ranks a little while ago, with one of them being cold and Manipulative, and believe me, I know manipulative from personal experience, another being manipulative, and the third being power hungry.
The last thing this Forum needs is people that have personality defects like that, as Mods.
So, if any of you 3 are reading this, don't forget, what goes around, eventually comes back to bite you on the a... fellas.

This place has gone so badly downhill since those days its not funny. This place is a shadow of its former self.

Wow Mm: I 💯 disagree.
And I wouldn't have thought you would have had enough experience with the prev. Mods to make a statement like that, since you've only been on here since May this year.
Happy New Year Mm: 🙂

Get that,but sometimes even the narkiest of forum members have something interesting to say,so my ignore button is unused
Just think the mods shold punt the personal battles irrelevant to 99.9%

Mate, I remember clearly... your original accounts would be banned regularly by willow.

And you continue to complain, how about you go do something else with your time.

 

[innsaneink]

One thing about most mods is they can see the difference between the genuine grateful members and the butt lickers

Ive had no problems with any mods, , most are fine

Ive been banned I dunno how many times now, quite a few by willow, but like in high school getting the cane off the form master every few weeks I know hes only doing his job

Ive have banned once because of my name on a trumped up accusation by a mod only to be reinstated by Kul
If you get banned you generally deserve it,,,except on the rare occasion.

I find it very weak having a crack at those that arent herre and cant defend themselves

 

[Magpie_Magic]

💯

There has been an uplift in the number of escalations to the mods around trolling and personal attacks.

Respectful discussion and disagreement is most welcome.

Remembering we are all Wests Tigers die hards.

Difficult to police when certain posters have 8 or 10 accounts and use them to group attack or encourage group think, or even frame a narrative for media consumption amplifying their views.

20 years ago social media didn't exist and by and large people on here had 1 account and were careful and respectful .

You guys do a great and thankless job under the circumstances.

Well said Demps 👍.
And to think, I went in to bat for this bloke as he was being attacked, I thought unfairly at the time.
Little did I know he has a previous bad history on here.
Bugger 😒.
I'll keep my 'do good' thoughts to myself in future.

Keep up the good work you are doing on here...got a lot of respect for You dude.
Have a great 2024 Demps 🙂.

Maybe he changed his name as well?

You don’t reckon “those that aren’t here” are still here lurking?
I’ll name names bcoz what I say is truth and nothing I wouldn’t say to someones face.
I never had an issue with willow or any other mods except @cobarcats. He took exception to one of my posts, I told him to feck off in no uncertain terms and a week later he became a mod. 😁 He then started into me for about a year with PM’s of threats and bans. I had a few forumers PM me having the same issues, saying I should complain to Kul. I put it off but then one day Cobar piled on the last straw and I complained to Kul. Apparently there had been a lot of complaints about him, & he was relieved of his moderating duties. He then started throwing his toys out the cot, gave a long winded leaving speech and then deleted his account I think.
I reckon the mods these days are a lot more personable. Back in those days with willow, cobar, etc, I never discussed anything with the mods, back then it was like you just had to listen. These days I have had multiple convos, ( both open and PM’s) with the current mods, they know who they are. Even today while @Spartan117 was laying down the law to others I had a little dig at him, and he had a laugh and took it really well. I would’ve been threatened with a banning in days gone by.
The more relaxed nature from the mods has cultivated a more open forum and I for one appreciate that.

 

[Spartan117]

Not Laying down the law, Just keeping the peace


Happy New Year to you all.

 

[Telltails]

Any one else had their post edited after sharing an opinion/observation about a former mod?
I'd prefer any post that I make be deleted if it is deemed inappropriate rather than be edited to not make sense in relation to how it was intended.
Happy New Year forumers.

Yeah I agree wholeheartedly.... The current guys anf gal's are more relaxed and that's good.... Your incident with cobar was the same time as he banned me for no reason other than prior disagreements on things between us both . He lost the plot unfortunately and abused his power

Yeah.... That should not be happening

 

[Tito Santana]

This forum is boring me. Tito wants to talk about footy - not knobs complaining about each other and how good the mods are.

Does anyone actually know anyone on here outside of the forum? I’d going with no. Great. Will anyone actually do anything with anyone outside of posting on here? No. So who cares. Stop talking about original members and all this shit. Anyone who says this obviously has no life.

Just talk about footy.

It’s getting back to how we ran the forum before a few of us moved on and things changed a fair bit for a few years here. It’s good to see.
