Prudie, I am not getting high and mighty.I was just asking for some clarification on what your complaint is.

[anneasquith]

I have said this before I’m not sure it’s even worth repeating. I respect the mods who ‘ own up ‘ to being one. If you are confident in the position of moderator why not come clean ?

[dannyk13]

anne, if that is directed at me, I did so some time ago.

[Sqad]

LOl..Jordy........I rather like the name Sandra.......

[anneasquith]

Absolutely not Danny, I am aware you are a mod and respect your position and input on AB

[spathiphyllum]

/// If you think my being a Moderator compromises my right to express an opinion, then you are mistaken. ///

By the very fact that moderators are allowed to join in the various debates, and the fact that they might oppose other's views, then obviously that removes their unbiasedness, especially towards those who happen to hold opposite views than they themselves.

That is only human nature, and no matter how they try to convince us that is not the case, who would believe them? I certainly don't.

[Jordyboy9]

that makes sense annea then if we know who we were having a debate with we would know how far to go before the bumped you

To be fair, when I had cause to contact the Spare Ed ( when the Ed was off sick) they replied in a couple of days initially and we then had a little back and forth email exchange discussing the situation and options in a timely manner, bearing in mind they have other people to deal with not just me, so no complaints there, but give them more than a day they can get busy.
I moderate a couple of other websites and it is a thankless job to be fair whatever you do unless it's disposing of the Viagra boys etc, but I do think the site is somewhat overmoderated sometimes. Things on here feud and fester because people never really feel they can complete a disagreement because the thread is either closed or removed first, so it spills over onto thread after thread ad infinitum then. There is a massive difference between an interesting, sharp, heated debate which ought to be encouraged imho to liven the place up a bit, to someone trolling just to be spiteful and malicious. Anyone can see the difference but sadly these days here, they all get lumped together and the threads closed.

AOG, views do not get removed. Answers that break Site Rules do.

If a correctly placed opinion gets removed, this should be reported to the editorial team because that means it was unfairly removed.

"so it spills over onto thread after thread ad infinitum then. "

Yep well put Calico that is very true.

[anneasquith]

It is still entirely dependant of what some 'VIEW' as breaking Site Rules.

[Sqad]

If anything happened to Buenchico who is a star of AB, then the term AB could be challenged under the trade's description act, as it would just become a social media site mainly for women.
Nothing wrong in that........but have a name to describe it's function.

[anneasquith]

Ooft, a drop in saturation of 10% here . ( only kidding) thankfully. “‘)

[spathiphyllum]

AOG, then the way you express views may be seen as unlawful, or rude.

It's about articulation.
