I got banned recently , and as per forum rules I deserved it . In saying that though , there’s definitely a vibe of some people being on a pedestal . And a definitely old Boys / boys club .
Like you said the pile on for the jungle , when it was clearly just a dude who created a fan group , made me realise this place is definitely a cliq.
Really? I don't feel threatened by the MODs but I'm definitely not part of a boys club or cliq. I think it's just perception. I know a couple of names but struggle to tell who's who. I've never met anyone from here and never had a PM with anyone.
I've also never been banned because I understand I'm a guest here so am expected to follow the rules. If everyone did the same thing there would be no need for deleted posts or bannings.
As for the Jungle thing, I didn't comment but it 'sounded like' a guy trying to make a profit from the club. Not sure I agree with that concept.
For starters , I ? back everything I said that lead to my banning . It was group think bullying , and hive mind pile on. That caught me on a bad day . I broke the rules , fine whatever . This place was annoying me at the time anyway. So it was a good thing .
Secondly , I don’t feel threatened by the mods . I was just saying there’s a definite cliq. Whether it’s just these guys have spent years on here talking , and naturally have a close bond . Probably not something more sinister .
Hence why I called it old boys . Because that’s what I actually think it is . ? dependant on which point in time you joined .
As for the willow stuff . Does he have an itchy trigger finger when it comes to banning , especially in comparison to the other mods . I think that’s obvious .
But he wasn’t the one who banned me , so he’s done nothing to me personally .
Even then , like I said , I welcomed the ban . This place was doing my head in .
