Double standard. A quick rant.

Instead of ignoring the question Donny. Please advise why numerous comments in the post game thread still refer to the word "****" ie WTF, FERK and fk.... To name a few.

Such as as this for example which is still posted for all to see and has not been deleted or moderated.

ANNODAM wrote:Thank fk for that!

Whilst my post of "thank ****. That is all" was deleted which actually shows up as "thank ******" . Less offensive and implied, which is why I don't try to get around it.

Why The double standard Donny? It's once again pathetic behaviour from a mod. Either completely police it or don't. Picking and choosing in accordance with your own agenda is weak as piss.

I keep drifting away from this site because of this rubbish and this rubbish alone. Some posters won't care granted. But as a mod you should. You may be a volunteer, but you choose to do it. So do it right, just and uniformly that's all I ask.

<snip - you're free to criticise us, but verbally abusing other posters is totally unacceptable, and moderators are no exception to that rule. Pull your head in. David for BBMods.>

Swearing should be allowed for all scum games. I'm talking full frontal vile hatred. 100% pure defamation. If any team deserves it, it those pricks.

Point is if you type "****" it censors itself.

Which IMO is better than trying to get around it using alternative letters and the like.

My rants over ......but seriously enough is enough, not liking someone is not a reason to delete posts.

It's because Donny doesn't like you.

The party line of "we do our best, we are only volunteers and can't be everywhere" will be wheeled out, but this defender is more the truth of the matter.

Get this one - Donny had given me the sh1ts one day by deleting my posts aimed at Dunstall's commentary, to the point I had a bit of a crack at him.
Nek Minnit - Golden Gordon PM's me trying to get me to start an "out with Donny" campaign! LMAO!!! Had to let Jacks Pain know I was on to him at that point and I don't go about things the way he was suggesting.

(I can't possibly be breaking the confidence of a fake character now can I??)

I'm sorry you're sick of hearing it so often, but the reason you do is because it's true. Moderating is not an exact science, particularly when it comes to the swear filter and how it's used, including with those people who use shorthand or misspellings to get around it.

If you want a pure, rigorously consistent approach to this, you're probably going to be disappointed. Sorry. But there's no need to take this stuff personally.

I haven't had any issues with the mods but I think some feedback as to why a post is deleted wouldn't do any harm to be honest.

Most of us understand that the moderators have a tough job and we appreciate what they do behind the scenes to maintain the day to day runnings of the forum but some transparency from both sides is required.

After all, this section of the forum was designed for any issues relating to the moderation of this forum so I think September Zeros is entitled to ask the question as to why his post (which I believe was a sign of emotion and relief more than anything else after today's win) was deleted in the first place.

Having these kinds of fights doesn't achieve anything except making this forum a more hostile arena to discuss the club so hopefully SZ's issues and grievances can be dealt with in a civil manner.

Right on most accounts Jezza, except this has been buried away again so won't be resolved.

As for your argument David......bull....shit. There were quite a few posters who used the same language within seconds of my post. Yet mine was the only one deleted at that time. So it doesn't wash at all. Instead of defending Donny perhaps ask him the question why because it was pathetic rubbish moderating by him.

He moderates to his own likes and dislikes. This is not how a moderator should operate, and it shouldn't be tolerated by the moderation team let alone the posters.

Anyway I see this thread has been buried and tucked away again Mao zhe tong style so it will be ignored again by admin.

Bury it, bury it, bury it.

What a Wank.

I barely post these days. Gone from wanting to be actively involved in nicks to not being bothered at all due primarily to this kind of unnecessary censorship.

Alot of posters just come here for the news these days ......not a bad idea. Take but give nothing.

It could be worse. On another forum I go to all my posts have to await moderator approval before they're made public. Guess it must've been all that trolling I did there.

Post by **David** » Sat Aug 08, 2015 11:08 pm

Sorry if that last post came across as a bit short, was quickly writing before the beginning of a film.

Jezza, I completely agree that SZ is entitled to ask the question, and I'm happy to take part in a discussion in here on how the filter should be used (or even if we need one). Feedback is always welcome, and we do try to consider it and, when necessary, take actions based on it.

But this thread hasn't been 'buried', SZ. If you want to discuss this kind of stuff, this is the forum for it. I even left the thread link (with the 'moved' prefix) in GD so people could find it.

So, while we're here, let's talk about this. How do you want to see swearing regulated on this board? Are you happy with the filter?

This is an unofficial Bulletin Board - owned and run by its users. We welcome all fans of the Mighty Collingwood Football Club.

Double standard. A quick rant.
