Re: Things that really piss me off.
I think there is much more to be learnt from tolerance than will ever be learnt from moderation.
Usually, when I'm told someone has gone too far, I'm always amazed at the number of people there to bear witness.

Re: Things that really piss me off.
I think the board could largely run without moderators because let's face it, Simon hasn't exactly been active for a long time and yet there really hasn't been any disturbance.
What might be needed is a mechanism to control mods that go rougue. I'm not saying Kosi has gone rogue however mods can't be making incendiary or aggressive posts like Kosi has because let's face it the place would burn to the ground in real short time with that type of moderation.

Re: Things that really piss me off.
Being a mod does place some limitations on expression in the forum. It's important not to participate in any tit for tat, however minor, because it undermines impartiality. Even participating in threads where there are just differing strong opinions can create perceptions of favouritism. So numerous times as a mod I needed to zip it.
Worth it though to support the benefits of moderation and not difficult to do once the job has been taken on. I think we definitely need moderation. There has to be someone/s who applies the rules and has the responsibility of final say. Recipe for descending into a petty and nasty bickering festival otherwise.

A slow demise into pestilence (see what I did there) sounds much better than burning to the ground, Im sure you will agree.Vortex wrote: ↑Wed 16 Feb 2022 7:18am I think the board could largely run without moderators because let's face it, Simon hasn't exactly been active for a long time and yet there really hasn't been any disturbance.

Re: Things that really piss me off.
I note your join date is 2015, if you were around before then you'd know that "burn to the ground" probably understates the history of past wars. Today's version of SS is like a scene from a Disney cartoon by comparison to some of this boards history.CQ SAINT wrote: ↑Wed 16 Feb 2022 1:04pmA slow demise into pestilence (see what I did there) sounds much better than burning to the ground, Im sure you will agree.Vortex wrote: ↑Wed 16 Feb 2022 7:18am I think the board could largely run without moderators because let's face it, Simon hasn't exactly been active for a long time and yet there really hasn't been any disturbance.

I couldn't get a word in edgeways. 50 s***s post to 1 informative one but gees the place was alive
I came in again around the Wild West wars time with something or other 'Gang' bullying the villagers.
I had a stoush or 2 myself with Plugger and Huggins. Plugged was hard to like for me but I didn't mind Huggins. I got my 2 strikes for the words imbecile and cockhead you can guess which was which, but I have kept it civil ever since. Well mostly.

Re: Things that really piss me off.
the Wild West ... who had the biggest hat war
(which , iirc , he who used to be known as TB , ended up with)
Ted taking on the whole frontier
with his little hat and an ability to dodge
the banning system
he ... was a laugh
they were amusing times (i thought)
but
there's the joy
in not being a mod
skipping the odd stone across the lake
just to see
if ones eye is still in

It never ceases to amaze how posters will winge about the P66 types (that's not directed at you), but will either engage directly/indirectly, or complain about them when it seems so easy to just skip over a posters name you find not to your liking. The same for posters who will carry on like stuck pigs about the general content of a thread but engage in the thread none-the-less. Surely it's easy enough to stay away from the thread, but then again, engagement, it's why social media companies employ the world's most skilfull psychologists and mathematicians, to develop those sneaky tricks that exploit that part of our brain that makes us gravitate towards the negative s***.

I was a bit shocked when he got banned first for coming at me. Thrn he seemed to hold a grudge and trolled me and sent some nasty PM's.I didn't report him but someone did. Same with Huggins minus the pm's.

Re: Things that really piss me off.
Plugger waz gone before we settled it and otherwise always banned :rofl.
Me and Huggins reached some common ground but he just lost it and I'm still not sure what he did.

Re: Things that really piss me off.
I wasn't ignoring it, I'd post something and in seconds there was another 10 posts. It was hard to follow and certainly not worth my time back tracking to hold a decent convo in between the vitriol.

Re: Things that really piss me off.
he sent some silly (nasty ?) pm's to Simon
i think that was his final demise
what i saw was
the more he got hounded n blamed
for being the cause of SS's woes
the more he lost patience
then finally his rag
having already dished it out hard at mart
and ******* (best i not use his name)
over a fair period of time
i suppose
you gotta take it on the return
if u get trapped into that sort of game
generally , i liked him
also , like vortex
thought he was well worth the price of admission

Re: Things that really piss me off.
I really liked P66 but also found him incredibly annoying.
Thought his footy insights were actually pretty impressive… wish he posted more about that.
Help me out though… quite a few people are saying the name Huggins and I am drawing a blank

Re: Things that really piss me off.
P66 ridiculed my grand-daughter for her thread. She was younger than 10 and was becoming starstruck with st kilda and just finding her feet with this site.
She was devastated with the negative abuse from p66 she never posted here again

Re: Things that really piss me off.
I think he was banned for a homophobic rant about the pride game but I missed it all and my memory fades. I just remembered he hated me and them came around because I wouldn't retaliate after my minor ban.

Re: Things that really piss me off.
Also, he may have been an ex policeman and told stories about working with Alan Jeans, I thought he knew my dad too but I didn't expose who my dad was but he was telling stories my dad told. He was also claiming to be an author. Under the mental health issues, which he described from being badly bashed when was a detective, he was an interesting bloke.
