that's a bit unfair ! only half of them are "power mad self centered meglomaniacs" - the other half are power crazed egocentric oligarchists

also pm = post mortem

I personally think the mods on this board do a fair job and I do understand that it is done for free by those who want to be involved.

However. I commented on the originally locked one, because there seemed to be no real reason to lock it. It was a sensible post about a sensible subject, which was rugby related.

My comment was removed and I was PM'd the rules that say non halifax topics can be removed. I was then PM'd the reason which said that it was a "non issue" until I made it an issue ? and the Mod saw that it was not Halifax RLFC related therefore locked it. Stange though that that particlar mod joined in another thread earlier (not locking it) which was non Halifax RLFC related????

Like I say, they do generally do a good job, and thankfully they do otherwise it would just turn into some other boards (you know which ones i mean).....

Good we are now having a discussion and perhaps it may make the mods (I thought they were a late 60`s 70`s thing!) think a bit more carefully before censoring! I think in general they do a very good job but should not think they are beyond criticism.
I have checked my pathetic messages and find some anonymous nerdy git has sent me two warnings!!!!!??????
I am a 58 year old company director who would not accept one warning let alone two from anybody and would enjoy eating Nat for breakfast!!
I am sorry my two topics, a tongue in cheek "sack Nat" after someone elses post had been locked and now removed and followed by another one titled " are we happy with our moderators..... can we make this a poll?" were both deleted and followed by threats from good old Nat. perhaps the lads a bit touchy?
Anyway lifes too short and it a lovely day and we have a little matter of the lads sorting Fev out down at the Shay tonight to look forward too.
Quite happy to put myself forward as forum Nark its what I`m good at.
Cheers.

Well I think the mods are okay on the Fax board, I haven't been banned yet so they must be good.

Why do you still have a picture of Jim Gannon on your signature when he's now playing for FAX?

i'm 57 and definitely remember the Mods & Rockers trying to kill each other in the mid sixties on Great Yarmouth seafront

shouldn't be too much trouble for the Fax tonight - TO13 really shocked them a couple of weeks back and they should really be up for it

i'll tell you what mate - seeing MCs reaction after the TO debacle he will NOT want another performance like that ! You lot could be the whipping boys tonight ! (speaking as a neutral btw)

We could, and it won't be the first time I've seen us lose heavily!
I'm reluctant to predict world domination OR capitualtion. But I can't see us being "whipped"! One or two more back tonight and the 'feeling' is there! As I said, we'll see!

Re: Why are perfectly good discussion topics locked/deleted? : Thu Mar 24, 2011 12:55 pm  

I don't mind who takes the points tonight but it would be handy if Fev could suffer 17 niggling injuries during the game which would keep them all out for just one game, ie : their trip to france next week !
