Question on ban announcements

[GIMH]

Will this thread be closed if I question harsh ag closing any thread asking legitimate questions?

Can I have a response from an actual mod please

 

[Smudge]

Quite frankly, a moderator shouldn't be closing a thread which is related to his/her own behaviour.

 

[GIMH]

It’s alarming really isn’t it. Sets an ‘us and them’ precedent that quite frankly this place has been rid of for years.

Wait. This is the bloke who gave me (me ffs!) seven for not addressing forum members in an appropriate manner. What a joke.

By that, I mean both the ban and this hypocrisy. The examples are exactly on point - harsh called weldone an arsehole, as I understand it. Absolutely correct. No one on the forum apart from weldone would disagree (and maybe even he wouldn’t). Personally I don’t see a problem with what he did.

Likewise, I called out several of the utter dregs of the forum using completely appropriate descriptors. Yet copped a ban.

This is outrageous. It’s this sort of double standard which leads to **** like Brexit.

I guess he should change his username to harsh.GmbH

Hang on, is that what people think about weldone? I thought I was alone.

Weldone’s fine. He just got overexcited and hasn’t apologised for being wrong about that Ashwin thing.

 

[the big bambino]

Just the Ashwin thing?

You have too much time on your hands.

Someone hasn't read the "Idle Shareholders and Landlords" thread.

And. good luck to you, itbt.

Nothing wrong with holding an incorrect opinion (imo) on things like that (see your views on Allan Border for example).

Great post.

 

[Flem274*]

harsh is a great mod. been far too long since we had a fiery loose cannon in charge.

Having considered this further, I don't want to go overboard in reacting to this sort of one off thing.

We've known for ages that harsh is incompetent - closing the wrong thread is the sort of endearing quality which makes us think fondly of him - like a dottery aunt at Christmas who buys you a dud gift. It's still a gift.

But then he banned me, and he suddenly wasn't so harmless - now he became the CW version of the old racist relo who ****-posts Alt Right memes on FB, and who you want to block but if you did, you'd have to explain to the rest of the family that their loved one is actually a massive **** who's not harmless, but in fact is a bit dangerous, even though they **** up a lot.

And now this. Insulting forum members using the same language he's banned others for. Whilst we all applaud the sentiment, given the poster to whom it was addressed, it nevertheless sets the sort of precedent which would see harsh succeed in politics - setting and enforcing standards for others whcih he will not himself live up to. And we can't have that.

He must resign, and hand over the keys to the Moderator 5000 to yours truly.

Yeah, this. Why are we suddenly assuming Harsh locking the thread in question was deliberate?

 

[slippy888]

Is ***** banned

 

[NotMcKenzie]

No, just misunderstood

Well he said he was closing the thread.

Whether he found the right button is another matter.
