As title,

having seen quite a few posts that are unpleasant though not swearing , i wondered if the forum is no longer moderated?

I hope that certain regular posters will try harder to welcome newbies. You know who i mean!

If you think there is something wrong with a post report it. the Mods are not here 24/7 reading every posting. If you report it, it will draw their attention to it

There is nothing that contravenes Ts and Cs, 

I am just hoping forumites try to behave like adults rather than being unpleasant, and squabbling like feral children.

Like fb

If it's not contravening the T's & C's wind your neck in and let people be as childish as they like. Use the ignore button if you wish, it's easy enough.

So why do you want the mods to look at it, I have told you how to do that and now you are on a different hymn sheet

I posted this in an enigmatic way to avoid getting personally involved in the squabbling, which often adds petrol to the flames.

Thinking back to my mod days, i thought about how well behaved the posters have been recently  

So thought about Athy. Came up with the title to attract the established members, perhaps its called blue sky thinking in some circles ? :)

To get back to the thread title, I have been wondering the same thing.  At one time he seemed to moderate the Forums singlehanded, but he last visited on Jan 23, and last posted back in November.  I have met Mike several times (he accommodated my boat outside his house twice for a few days), and hope he is OK.


I noticed this over a year ago so I asked him. Hopefully he won’t mind me saying that he had a sudden onset of a vision problem which made reading difficult/tiresome, hence much less active as a mod. Of course something else could have cropped up since then but that is what he told me at the time.

I never got that far! For quite a while, three of us handled moddy duties - self, Magpie Patrick and the former Buccaneer. The arrival of two new ones, Jen and Ade, was succour indeed [as in, only a succour would do this job]/

   Midway through last year I was, as Nicj Noeman says, beset by a truly exciting cocktail of eye conditions which made long spells of reading irksome. These are mow controlled by medicayion, and my eyes are not deteria...er, daterior...er, getting worse. I'm still taking part in moddy duties, but more in behind the scenes discussions than dront of house.

Thanks!

Great to hear from you, Mike.  At least the typos are consistent!

How come we can give you greens now. I though that was a no no for mods

Athy for some reason has always been exempt from this rule - even he at one point admitted he didn't know why.

It got changed at some point. Don't know if it was the Invision software, or in the configuration the forum staff set up. All moderators can now get greenies. Even me!

Nice to see your command of the English language is improving at last. 

 

Welcome back, you've been missed!!! 

 

 

 

I don't think it is the real Athy. I think he has been replaced by Officer Crabtree from 'Allo 'Allo

Trained on his posting style and moderating decisions. All the moderators are going to be replaced. I for one welcome our new AI moderator overlords.
