6 posts from you Bobbie( all insults ) .🤫

[Bobbisox1]

:I don't read his posts: ???

then how come you defend him if you've not read them?

[Bobbisox1]

and of course, Gulliver doesn't do insults does he,? I stand by what I have posted, THIS IS NOT NEWS!

[anneasquith]

I don't defend them,  .

Bobbi - // Andy , Gulliver continues to post garbage and none news items in the News section with nothing being done about it //

I am not sure exactly what you would like, or expect, to be done?

Gulliver's posts and / or threads will be removed if they contravene Site Rules - that applies to any and all posters, Moderators included.

The opinion of his threads and posts, are just that, opinions, and as such, are posted and remain, unless they contravene Site Rules.

If my reply does not satisy your query, I would suggest that you contact the Editorial Team through the usual channels, and raise your issues there.

AH,with your mod hat on, do you believe any of the post on this thread have broken any Site Rules ?

[Bobbisox1]

sighhh, I gave up reporting Gulliver a long time ago as he gets away with it but please remember next time I post a Qs in the News that isn't News of the day, that I don't get told there's a Politics subsection for such

Another lot of abers posting to insult another aber. 1. Don't open there posts.

2. keep to the topic. 
I wonder if mods just ignore these daily occurrences .? //

i can only repeat my standard mantra - posts meander where they will, they always have, and that is a feature, rather than a problem, with the Answerbank.

Out-and-out insults can be, and are, deleted as contravention of Site Rules, but that is a matter for the personal opinion of any Moderator who sees them.

Robust debate is a basic in the News Section, I see from personal experience that Gulliver is more than capable of fighting his corner, and as such, am not minded to defend him any more than any other AB'er, which speaks to the fairness with which i am required to operate as a Moderator.

annasquith, gulliver puts on threads all the time yet when he is asked a question about it he either doesn't answer at all or comes back with a sarky reply which has nothing to do with the question asked.   You only seem to have a go at the people who are asking for an answer and not at him for not answering.  Then instead of giving an answer he just starts another thread.  I can at least now see why the footfall on this site has gone down in the last few months.

anne - // AH,with your mod hat on, do you believe any of the post on this thread have broken any Site Rules ? //

No, which is why I have not removed any of them.

As I advised on my post previous to this one, each Moderator acts on their own view of the interpretation of Site Rules, one may let something stand, another may delete it and, of course, as with every deleltion, be required to explain their action to the Ed and Team.

andy, you yourself have just put on "Robust debate is a basic in the News Section" but gulliver doesn't do that as he wont answer questions put to him.  

[Bobbisox1]

you can debate if it's news, Robustly or otherwise

[Bobbisox1]

Andy, Do you think the OP is News?

I and my Moderator colleagues possess a bewlidering range of skills, only some of which they bring to bear in keeping the site running smoothly.

Sadly, compelling individual AB'ers to post in the way you would wish, is not one of them.

[anneasquith]

AH, so that's a no then 🤔

thank you .

[andy-hughes]

You're welcome.

Bobbi - // Andy, Do you think the OP is News? //

I think it's borderline - it's political, and current, so I think it's OK.

The Ed or Team will relocate it if they disagree.

[Bobbisox1]

even though there's a Politics section?

[andy-hughes]

Bobbi - // even though there's a Politics section? //

If there is a requirement to move the thread, the Editor and Team will do so - it is not within the Mods' tech access to do so.

Is there a Trollsketeer's old 🐎section?
