You have the forum that you deserve, hardly anybody uses it because you over-react as soon as anything happens that either one of the admin team don't like or one member spits his dummy, again. The thread in question wasn't an argument, there was nothing offensive, it was just a bit of silliness. Several people were 'having a good day', why exactly was it a problem to anybody not contributing to the thread? There are loads of threads that don't interest me, I just ignore them and respect the right of others to get on with it. Seems that's not reciprocated on here. Whatever. Keep going until there's nobody apart from the admin team and people who want to 'Guess The Gate', then it'll be a job well done. I'll take you up on your offer to 'debate any subject with anyone'', PM me your best shot at justifying the claim you get your moral standards from Christianity. I think we could have an interesting discussion. In fact, if you follow 1 Peter I think you can't really refuse to have that discussion if asked to? Jeff set the forum up as a replacement to the old one. I wouldn't call it his forum, but if he chooses to shut it down tonight when he wakes up I wouldn't blame him.
As for over reacting Admin quite often ignore reports because we don't see the justification for acting.
For a place you seem to dislike, you seem to come back quite a lot. If you want to take over the forum from Jeff and moderate it yourself (or anybody you choose) so that it fits something you are happy with I am sure he will oblige.

Seriously? You have your actions questioned so go into full meltdown. This is what happens, you do or say stuff, it gets challenged sometimes. But obviously in your world everybody has to agree with you or you threaten to take your ball home. Just listen to yourself. Do what you like, but consider that there are probably 20 or 30 regular contributors, and then a larger number who contribute when something significant happens, just because I think that you are wrong, that doesn't mean others should lose their forum. If you find having someone point out that you can't even get your story straight about why the Serious Stuff section was deleted too challenging (the reason you've just given isn't the one you gave when it was first removed) then you had better just ban me because I'll carry on calling things as I see them.

Not saying everyone has to agree, the past 20 years I have spent on the forums would be pretty boring if we had all agreed
the serious stuff section was closed 5 years ago. The place was pretty heated and we got lots of reports. That's why it was closed. If you want I can go to the moderators page and post all the conversations we had about it
What did we say originally as your memory is obviously better than mine

It is you that has gone into meltdown, not the Admins. You are constantly moaning about Admin and being moderated. You obviously have a real issue. Moderation has been, if anything, lighter than you would find on other forums. It's not our forum. Jeff set it up and has had the grace to continue it in spite of constant moaning and sniping from people especially yourself. The offer is there. Take it over. I am sure you can greatly improve the forum and the traffic to it.

The thread's only been set to drop. It's still here for anyone who wants to continue the debate, while not getting in the way of Rovers related topics. Given that there's hardly a proliferance of the latter, setting the anchor seems like a happy medium to me.

Given that there's hardly a proliferance of the latter, setting the anchor seems like a happy medium to me. Not really Anne. Simon and Terry are suggesting that they are considering closing the forum because their decision has been questioned, so naturally people are leaving the thread alone as they don't want the board taken down. Sounds pretty childish to me, but there you go. I certainly don't want them doing that because they aren't used to having a decision questioned and then blaming me, so I'm done with this thread as well. Simon / Terry. Bamber is what he is and isn't going to change, if that's not acceptable to you then you guys have the controls, just hit the 'ban' button, I don't think many people will lose much sleep.

That's a very tempting offer but I can smell the martyrdom brewing from here.

See what amuses me is how this thread was reported, yet apparently no-one's bothered about the sex and drugs discussion. So I just wonder who it is who reports some threads but not others. Not that I am objecting to the other thread - no need to anchor it as far as I'm concerned. I just find it odd what some object to and what they don't. Is this the hidden agenda Henbury is always on about? All a mystery to me.

Its not my forum to close down. I am merely just part of the moderating team and we try to act as a team when it comes to moderation

Do you seriously think anybody would care if I wasn't here? No martyrdom from me. We don't agree, that's all. If there's something that's happened that justifies a ban then do it. But as Anne says, it would seem a bit odd and here's 1 example why; Mike threatened other users with physical violence on here and wasn't banned, he wasn't even suspended, I've questioned a decision to anchor a thread and re-iterated my suspicion that if conversations were allowed to develop then the forum may grow. If my actions, in your opinion justify a ban whilst Mile's didn't, then I'm struggling a bit here with the standards you are applying. That really is my last contribution to this thread, maybe to the forum, that's for you to decide.

Pathetic. Lip well and truly set to 'wobble mode'. Well done admin. And this is why nobody uses this forum. When it's just you and a couple of others who think exactly like you then you'll be happy I guess. Your right that hardly anyone uses the forum but is turning it into a right wing conservative party biased vehicle the answer to the problem? We have several posters who at the drop of a hat want to force their own politics on all and sundry. Maybe it would attract more posters if we talked about rovers more. And not just the politics of obscure supporters club people and unknown to most stadium managers. We could try to talk football as a weird experiment. By that i dont mean write long abusive posts about every referee,i mean talk football. Ps i know some posters do talk football but its quite lonely doing that on here.

By that i dont mean write long abusive posts about every referee,i mean talk football. Ps i know some posters do talk football but its quite lonely doing that on here. Where to even start with that hate filled angry rant. Ken shouldn't be an 'obscure supporters' club' person, and that's the problem. It's his job to find channels to communicate with everybody and find out what, if anything, he can do to help you as a Rovers supporter and to reflect your opinion to the BoD. We have paid £1,200,000 for the position he holds, the fact that you don't even seem to know who he is shows what a failure he's been in a decade or so of holding a Director's position on our behalf. I'm guessing that you are referring to Ian Holtby when you mention the stadium manager? That's Rovers related and nothing but Rovers related. I think I can see where you are going, you want to discuss just matches and nothing to do with anything that doesn't happen during the 90 minutes? And you think that's going to grow the forum? Take a look at the other forum, it's far more lively, yes there's a lot more of the sort of stuff I write, but it has a heck of a lot more contributors and an awful lot more football content. That answers your question. Now then, I didn't really want to get personal, but as you've decided to directly criticise me for mentioning it when unfit referees arrive, which is quite often, I'll reciprocate and tell you that I find the standard of your writing atrocious. Please try harder, or at least turn the spell checker on, your ramblings are bordering on undecipherable at times, mainly due to lack of punctuation. Nobody expects perfection, but I'm sure you can do a lot better. Thanks

She is beyond criticism. I mean, literally no one in mainstream media picks up on her incompetence. It really is quite amazing. And it keeps getting re-elected!? She should take Tom Gorringe/ Kenny job....that would shut Bambi up! That would be a miracle approaching that of the fishes and loaves level
