RBG makes a good point there. Maybe the mods should speak first to clear the air and give voice to their reasoning behind the bannings? I personally don't really know what's went on as I've barely been about on here.

The very reason we are doing this is to preserve the memories of posters such as drummerphil. Remember when we had great posters on here? Jonny and Leon, Taff and JBG posted more, we had a laugh with dom and others... and Manhatten, old red eyes, loads more, but everyones going. 

This is the first time in months people have actually laughed and enjoyed this forum...

We should be working together, but thats not working, and until it does then the powers that be need to know that they ain't the ones with the power.

I'll take a card or 2 if it improves the forum, feck i'll take a ban if it means we get back to our best, but this is happening. And everyone is looking forward to it. I see them eraqding this smiling, knowing its funny, and awesome!!

This is being done to hopefully reinstate some of the posters that were banned. If it was a case that someone got banned and most of the forum agreed with it then im sure something like this wouldn't be taking place. The fact that a lot of posters would prefer the forum with the likes of Bigmick, Saint and Bam would indicate that maybe the place would be better with them posting.

what we want?

more mods...
at the moment:
Bad Bob - tries to be the goody, hardly ever on
Red37 - is he a mod? never done a thing that ive seen
St Mike - see above
Woof Woof - hes a hippy at heart, shouldnt be a mod, is taking on too much
supersub - is doing it all

We need more variety, mods that will do something.

and if people argue, dont just card them, give them a room to moan in. the mods have there own room so it should be easy toopen a new private room

the antis vs the pros - yeah we'll argue, but all the mods are pros, therefore they arebiased

personal - some mods take things personally, and take it out on who they dont like unfairly

if we cant swear, the mods should tell us 'we are getting a f*cking card.

and where are the mods? Havent seen one in hours!!! they have all of them but they're never here??

these are all little points, but nothngs being done, and its our forum, so we're taking it back.

It shouldn't matter whether or not people like an individual poster. If they step over the line, they should face the consequences.

However, in this instance and based on what we know, it is a stretch to say that BigMick stepped over that line, and that he deserved his ban. A word, even a card perhaps, but a ban? It doesn't seem at all appropriate.

See Dundalk thats where the lines become blurred is it that we feel as a collective unit that enough is enough ,or we personally want the power to overturn bans and cards   ???

We feel enough is enough, top posters are being forced off the forum and if this keeps up there will be noone left to turn out the lights

Not trying to cross the picket line here, but I think that's a bit harsh on the mods Dawson.

BB hasn't been around lately, but he's done a lot of work on the forum, closing and merging threads, and redrafting rules.

Red, often is around to ban wums etc. The others do mod as well but yes we could do with some who are more active. Who the hell would want to do that though? Thankless task.

They'll probably just lock this when they see it anyway.
