Mods are the same as everyone else - they just merge and move threads plus card people occasionally.
I don't see how you can "speak as a mod" and "speak as yourself", you have one voice and one opinion which has to adhere to the rules.


You also have the power to stop a thread as you did last night (Jake D'Eagle Thread) because in your opinion people were 'bickering'. That was your personal opinion, whereas mine was that it was a reasonable debate which was getting a little passionate.
Therefore mods are not the same as everyone else because if they don't like what's happening they can 'take their ball back' when most of us want to carry on playing.

Well someone has to make decisions and not everyone will agree all the time. Threads are only locked if things are deemed to be getting out of hand which doesn't happen that often. What do you propose instead?

someone suggested a sort of "say anything" forum, where you could write literally anything. Homophobic, Racist, Crude Jokes etc. At least people would know that in there it was far more relaxed - as at the moment General Talk is, well too "general" perhaps?

Correct. If you see my previous post I have already said that of course moderation is required, and apart from warning whoever is getting near the knuckle to tone it down, there is no other way of doing it. If you read the post you are replying to, I was commenting on your post about you being the same as all the rest of us and pointing out a reason why I don't think you are. It's no criticism, just my observation.

Dont some people take this whole internet message board lark seriously.

Its just a bunch of w***ers with a common link amongst millions and millions of other w***ers worldwide with their common links chewing the fat, having a laugh, and doing something to relieve the pounding monotony of work or filling some time inbetween the adverts on Dave..Its pretty relaxed, mainly because the Mods take a pretty relaxed view to stuff and nothing you read or see here will change the world or cause it to spin off its axis and crash into Uranus.....

Chill out innit

And you have the power to set up, pay for and nurture a Palace fans' site if you don't like the ones that already exist.

Great mod,great poster!

The ultimate price?

I used to dislike certain posters who have no appreciation of irony whatsoever, but on reflection are needed on here for unintentional comedic value. They should get an award, like a HOL POBO, or something like that.

Well no one moderates the moderators, do they. Penge, I believe, says he speaks with only one voice. How can a 'moderator' say they apply the rules, when some moderators go round slagging people off.

Still I shall be moving along shortly.

One solution could be to have moderators post anonymously under a different account eg Admin1, Admin 2 etc then it's not personal?

a good suggestion by Penge. However, if this was seriously going to be condidered, I think it would be better if all moderators posted under one account called ADMIN.
I don't think this is needed. The HOL is cosmopolitan, and I appreciate others views, even if they are wrong..

The Mass Debate of 2009 will all be a distant memory soon and we can all have a big hug/orgy. (or at least a good old w@nk over some posters profile pic's)

 


I disengage, I turn the page.

Can we get this back to who we dislike? I wanna watch a good old fashioned HOL tear up. Swiftly follwed by a timeless sheffieldgabor style flounce.

identitys wouldnt stay secret for long.

peoples posting styles would give it away, staffie would be easy to identify for example.

why change something if its not broken?
