      You guys/mods should chat with Bernie & ask him to calm down a bit .  I got 3 emails from regular forum peeps this week , 1.  spornybol left said forum peeps were being treated like kids not adults . 2.  logdon baned for 2 weeks for being too funny . 3. maxally gets a 1st but final warning for silly posting .  All 3 regulars with over 10k posts and hundreds of threads between them .  At this rate all the regulars will be gone & only mods will be left .  All 3 above pm by bernie .  As they say in scouse land bernie needs to calm down a bit ,  All this heavy handiness is doing is making peeps pee d  off in forum .  Does one really want a forum where peeps are scared to post a bit of fun banter .

    total bs freedom ove speech is good ask any democratic country,no need for bns imo.del
    Posted by DELTA
    Totally agree Wayne and all democratic countries have a set of rules (laws) that you must abide by. In the UK we have freedom of speech but we abide by laws and guidelines of the UK, you are not allowed in the UK to abuse or insult people (think Keys and Gray for instance)

    The Sky Poker forum has rules and guidelines and insulting individuals or groups of individuals is not allowed, you have used insulting language in the post copied above.

    You don't know how long we have been moderating this forum, you don't know what communication is made between us all before a group decision is made and you don't know how decisions are made but you are quick to pass judgement.

    The Community mods were asked by Sky Rich to do this many months ago and do it for no reward, the SKy staff do it as their employment and always have the overall say in any of these matters.

    It's pretty much sticks and stones to us Wayne, 95% of the messages we have had have been positive, we could have stayed anon, we chose to reveal ourselves, the 5% who come out between 10pm and midnight have a right of free speech and we are all for it as long as it doesnt get personal.

    I personally dont see the problem with the mods.  The forum has always had them and needs them.  I think it is ludicrous the amount of abuse these people are getting now everyone knows who they are.  What difference does it make whether we know who is doing it or not?  A few people were breaking rules and sky have asked a few regular posters to help keep things in check to make sure everyones experience is pleasant.  Where is the problem??

    I am not authorised to serve Jammy Dodgers (or any other brand name biscuit)

    1 bottle of milk only, attempts to obtain more than 1 bottle of milk will result in your milk being confiscated!

    Can't be fairer than that....

    Free speech?.................now that's a hot potato if ever there was one.

    Ok everyone............I'm not gonna sit on the fence, 'I'm for sensible moderators, the more the merrier'.
    Why ? some may ask...........'we can moderate ourselves' !................poppy co ck I say.

    Majority of forum members don't need moderating.......they are posting some really good stuff and many a good thread has divided forum views right down the middle............really good stuff imho.

    My problem lies when you get a loose cannon firing bile at a fellow member to the extent that had me so enraged and mortified that I was really worried for the recipients well-being.

    It was late one evening when I was just  getting ready to go to work and had a few minutes so I thought I would peruse the forum...........and then this !
     
    I will not mention this vile persons name for he probably thrives on his notoriety........... but I think I am right in saying that the guy has been banned from sky poker........if that is the case ...GOOD !
    It was another forum member who was the knight in shining armour who came to the rescue and who has my utmost respect and gratitude.......'Stokefc'........take a bow sir...........and the poor chap on the receiving end was none other than our very own Mr super sweet and all round good guy ......Donut.
     Sorry to waffle, but unless you had witnessed the chat as it unfolded on that night like I did, then by having more eyes and bodies (so to speak) policing the forum then, instances like I just mentioned may be nipped in the bud a lot quicker..................and the good people like Donut will feel safer to join in rather than keep away.................handbags at 10 paces to some people...........mortification to others........I feel utter contempt and anger even now , and this happened weeks ago...............my regards Billy.

    A great point Billy, as you say the majority of the site can , AND DO, moderate themselves.  It's the unfortunate few that spoil it for the rest of us.

    I have witness some shocking treatment by one player to another.  The long and the short of it is, that it cannot be allowed.

    Hi Mod-JockBM...............many thanks to you and your fellow Mods for taking on such a tricky task.
    I know some of you will get some flak at sometime or another but as I said before, I'm all for it so I wish you all good luck and above all ......enjoy it as well, after all majority of the time it's a gas.


     Ps:       I was really close to buying 'BMW' once.....................

    +1 for that reason.
     As i recall it was l8 night and should have been deleted before the following day . Most of the really offensive stuff seems to happen at that time (possibly due to drink) so yeah to the new mods as it can,t be a 9-5 job which it used to seem like

    Should have sneaked my top 3 cash tips in opeing post - didn,t realise it would get so many responses  - Its now languishing about 10 pages down

    Hi Stokefc..............just got in from work and have only just seen this now.
     Just wanted to say very well done that night, your input was immense and your support for Donut was invaluable and hate to think how it could have ended up without your intervention...........so very well done and many thanks again,............all my best wishes to you & the family.
