[Help] Unable to put a Moderator on Ignore.

[Guinness Boy]

I don't have twitter. Neither do I particularly care about twitter. It is a global phenomenon and like much social media, is out of control.

NSC is my "go to" as an Albion supporter for now, going on for 61 years of my life ( and I'm older than that !). These days , I can only physically watch the Albion 'live' maybe 7-8 a season.

I read this forum a lot. It is my lifeline for all things 'The Albion'. Sometimes, I have to walk away when I see how it is going. Now we are in the Premier League, the number of 'interested' posters has obviously grown....many with different opinions and perhaps more importantly...different agendas.

I do see the mockery of some on here. I don't care for it. Humiliation is not a nice strait. It's cheap and pathetic. I will fight back ( as you well know) if you taunt me enough. And I will be abusive in response. ( again, as you well know ). The role of a good Moderator is far more complex today. I understand that.

You are welcome to your grandiose position on here. Please don't abuse it. It matters.

You’re massively overthinking it IMO. This isn’t Medium or an Oxbridge debating society or Parliament or a minuted meeting.

It’s a bunch of football fans shooting the breeze, sometimes when drunk, especially on match day.

And, er, that’s it.

I have had quite 'lively' discussions with the various mods on here both on the main board and through PMs. There's some I like more than others, but I am aware that they bounce ideas off of one another, particularly when they are aware they are more to 'one side' of a discussion and get balance from the other.

As in your earlier post, you obviously have very strong ideas about how things should be moderated. It's very easy to knock them and point out what's wrong, but if you ever take responsibility for setting up a forum yourself and then and moderate it as well as @Bozza, you would certainly get my vote of appreciation.

Thankyou for your reply.

You have merely confirmed what an ignorant man you are.

The ignore thread and ignore member facilities work a treat, nsc game changers. With the latter, I rarely feel the temptation to see what they posted. Regarding the one or two spiteful keyboard cowards, sh1t stirrers or tinpot trolls, you never get to read their dull musings, ever. The result … paradise.

Thankyou for your reply.

I am genuinely shocked. I thought you were a bit of a piss-taker with the skin of a rhino.
If this was a false take, and if I have posted anything you found offensive, I sincerely apologise.

That's a strange reply to a very benign post.

I wish we could have a list of previously banned poster former names, and perhaps current ones too with more than one account (that's just weird).

It'd be like naming countries and their former handle.

Get in line, we’re waiting for the score predictor league to be updated

I think what is much more important, is what SHOULD the role of a Moderator be...?

Social media today is an almost uncontrollable beast......sadly.

I can't help but feel if a Moderator cannot curb his/her personal temper, his/her personal political leanings, his/her determination to enforce their opinion upon you or indeed his/her personal leanings on who is and who isn't a suitable player/manager/ owner regarding the Albion, he or she, should step down from being a Moderator. Can I emphasise here the part " cannot curb his/her personal...etc etc'.

Given the fragile state of what appears to me, to be prevalent in so many posters, a degree ( not academic) of mental/anxiety difficulties, I no longer think that the choice of Moderator should be on their capability alone of how up to date they are with technology. Some sort of ability to 'read between the lines' would be preferable.

I have fallen foul of one particular Moderator on here fairly recently. Given time to reflect, I don't feel the offensive time so badly. However, recently, there has been a mob-handed group, quite determined to ridicule a few posters who were unhappy with our present manager just a few weeks ago and had expressed their opinion....The ridicule is still happening, albeit to a lesser extent . One of those people who thought our present manager should be replaced was Seagullwedgee. It was one of his last posts before he decided, tragically to end his life. I'm not blaming anyone here at all (far from it ), but it CAN remind us all of the power of the written word, which CAN in some aspects affect some people deeply. On this basis, I hope Bozza chooses any future Moderators with a view to being able to maybe sit back a bit from so much of the nonsense/ tripe/passionate/insulting/ political and 'sometimes' thoughtful posts on here without getting embroiled in them on a personal level.

There will always be dickheads/ trolls / argumentative / stupid and bright posters on here. The task of a good Moderator is to sort the wheat from the chaff without bias. If they can't do that, then they should step down.

I bear no ill-will to ANY Moderator with this post.

Are you saying Tory Party members or declared Reform voters shouldn’t be mods??

Thankyou for your thoughts, I appreciate them.

Unfortunately,I don't see this as 'just a bunch etc ', but a public social medium.

I disagree with you, but that's ok I hope...?

Yeah it’s ok for you to be wrong.

It's no wonder you are the particular subject of this thread.

You just can't help yourself can you ...?

Well the post you replied to was paraphrasing the site owner @Bozza

I'd like to think that you and I and @WATFORD zero, who I regard highly, can recalibrate and play nicely.

Edit, but it is a two way street. You come across as weird and prickly from time to time, with baffling laughing emojis without fathomable context, as if you are living on your own private chuckle estate.

Ha ha..great response.

I rarely post these days thanks to being stalked by Guinness Boy and his unpleasantness. Laughing emojis enable me to give a clue as to my thoughts of a response by posters that I disagree with, without being embroiled in an evening of pointless posts with GB ( you know, that dreadful and totally unsuitable Moderator). I have better things to do with my life....unlike Watford Zero.

Tonight I have deviated from my usual . I'm off shortly to relax with a glass of wine and hopefully something worth watching on I-Player or Itvx.

Hope you have a good evening there.

OK, all good. I'll make sure I don't abreact to you going forward.
Enjoy the wine.
I shall be off soon to watch Norwich with Bob the retired social worker

I think we'll leave this here.
