Just a bit of fun, but contrary to the mods, I do like yours and others tip advice on here.

i'll just clarify this point, i don't have a problem with the gambling threads, the point i was making the other day was that these threads aren't exactly sprawling monsters of conversation topic and usually drop off the front page quickly, certainly following any wire games.

However,

It's comments like this which give moderators a bad name in my view. Moderation is supposed to be an objective process based on content and rules not subjective based on mood, antipathy, favoritism or time of the month. I often see threads removed or locked because it seems either the poster's face or topic doesnt fit, yet I scour the AUP and wonder why.

I fully understand the need to moderate thread content which contains bad language or potentially litigious views, but I would rather the "market" decide which threads should stay or go. Afterall, there are four moderators and hundreds of active posters whom make this forum a forum afterall.

In relation to the bet threads, there is enough guff on here and abosolute meaningless posting, of which the aforequoted is not impervious to critique, such that one thread on betting would not seem excessive.

It was the rantings of a libertarian anarchist.

Doesn't matter what it was, he spoke the truth.

No he didn't. Moderating a public forum is a matter of judgement. If his let it all hang out policy was allowed to run, we'd find it even harder to get proper debate. We'd still be hearing about Chicago Rock and nasty immigrants (from different posters, I hasten to add).

You sign up, you accept the moderation process is in the hands of the moderators.

Simple really.

I, for one, do not envy any of them for performing a thankless task for a largely ungrateful amount of posters.
