My thoughts on Mods
Hi, I don't get on here much, In fact usually only if I receive an email directing me to a thread, about every second month or more.I was just reading through the announcements and read the thread on need for more mods and the banning people, and those opting to leave on own omission.
I in writing requested to leave the site Many Many moons ago but I still seem to be a member, Not that that's a great concern, But the question on Mods is.On many forums I have been on, Even my own which I closed I have found Mods to be Bias, Gays, Religious and others who take it on themselves to ban members that offend their beliefs, Buzz very much follows this trend. I have proof to that last statement as I have in the past been a member there under more than 50 different registered names, Been banned because I offended Mods (not the member), Well maybe some times.
P.S. I have only had the need to have ONE registered name on this site, So far

In answer to why, This is a trade event.If you are banned you either have to go away or re-register under a different name. When you learn how the banning process is worked. this is easy to do.
I started trolling after I was set upon by members from Senior Chatters about 5 year ago and it became a lot of Fun which lasted between me and another female member from that site. but as the years rolled on it became boring.
As for now i couldn't care if I ever was a member on any forum, AND I am only responding here now as someone emailed me and it;s only polite to give an answer.
Before I'm banned from this site.

Hi David,Moderators are human like the rest of us. The vast majority are fair in their moderation, but just like the rest of us you will from time to time come across someone who is biased in some way.
That being said, I would much rather be on a site with moderators than without them.
It would be like living in a society where there are no rules and no one to enforce them--a total free for all.
Rules are in place for a reason and someone has to be in charge to see that they are adhered to. In society we have law enforcement officers, on a forum we have moderators. I for one am very glad of that.

Re: My thoughts on Mods
I just think it is inevitable some folks on any forum will have more than one profile, for reasons best left to them, I used to take exception at this, but soon found that drawing parallels with Online and Offline communication is sort of similar, the difference Online is the ability to create a character to voice any facet of a personality, the best thing is not to get drawn, and limit time Online, and just let it roll.

Re: My thoughts on Mods
You wouldn't know everyone on here very well if you don't come on often. Saying that after 2 years on here I never thought that our Mods are biased, gay or religious fanatics either.I would have thought if you are over 50 which is what this forum is for
there would be no point in changing your name or trolling either.
Why don't you take up mountain climbing or potholing if you want
some excitement instead of picking on people on forums who want to
have someone to talk to and listen to other peoples opinions.
