The amount of time and effort from BigMick and s@int put into this place at times,
far outweighed any effort from them two.
But they don't care - as long as they can log on / abuse / card / suspend / ban
then they are happy.
Who's gonna make them tow the line??? Nobody.
It was a laugh at times - but it has been a good example of how poor moderating can ruin a forum.
Speaking for myself I can only say that I''m happy to see that my efforts over the last six and a half years haven't gone entirely unnoticed.
For those who haven't followed my newkit career as keenly as Effes apparently has here's a brief synopsis of my activity since the forum regulations were amended last August.
In addition to logging in for a couple of hours virtually EVERY day, I have during the last six months, with the exception of one or two wums, issued six yellow cards, only one of which is still active and three red cards two of which remain in place.
Apparently this activity coupled with the amount of abuse I apparently throw at people has "stunk the place out".

No doubt myself and perhaps some other moderators are also responsible for the teams poor performances this term, performances that have generated a flood of negative and often vitriolic posts from newkit members aimed at the team, the manager, the moderators and other members. I of course take full responsibilty for all the ill's that have beset the forum and offer my apologies for the stink. By the time Dawsinios Suffragettes return from their self imposed exile I'll have the place disinfected and hopefully the team will have won a few more games.

As far as the issue of a member asking for their account to be deleted is concerned, it is of course a members perogative.
It's my understanding that Saints posting rights were soon to be restored but he has elected to leave the forum anyway. Although perhaps understandable it's unfortunate that he has chosen to express his disatisfaction with some moderating decisions by asking for his account to be deleted, it certainly doesn't add anything to a forum he was clearly such a fan of.
