Censor stuff and moderation

[Sanz]

Everyone Needs to Settle Down,

It's Obvious that an offence has been committed and as a result the rules and regulations have became if you can say tighter this is all Daniel is doing following those rules so it makes the forum a better place.

The one other point is some of the people supporting the people who have been banned are some of the other offenders as well who a lot of the time go over the top seriously though make this the end of it as soon as the forum members come back who have been banned get on with how the forum is supposed to run and don't ruin it for everyone else

Top post, but dont you think you missed couple of 'commas' and 'fullstops' in the above post ?

One of the things I've always enjoyed about CW is that it is fairly tightly moderated. I'm a member at Planet Rugby (although haven't been on for years), but the absolute lack of moderation eventually too much for my taste, it basically turned into a peeing contest with various unsavoury persons perfecting their internet hardman personae.

I'm aiming for Best Kiwi for the third year in a row over there. You soft Pom.


Now, where's my measuring tape for the peeing contest...

haha yes will correct that in my next post.

I'll throw in a few comments, but a forum annoucement will be made some time soon (24-48 hours) and there will be changes in the forum rules so I'll keep it short.

The mod team have been in 100% agreement in every decision made and every banning made. It just so happens that Daniel (LB) was around and dealt to it.

Like other mods have said, the words in the filter are being discussed and may or may not be changed/removed.

Fair enough.

Thanks for replying.

Au contraire, the level of moderation here is pretty ridiculous. Thems the shots under a 'dictatorship' though so that's that.

On a rather unrelated note, I had a real Yes! Minister moment reading your post.
Don't you work in civil service?

Yes, but in an incredibly junior position. I have to salute the guy who cleans the toilets!

Without wishing to sound too much like an old hippy, I like CW because we're a fairly broad church, cater for most tastes & generally get on fairly well. There does seem to have been a crackdown lately, I personally hadn't seen an increase in what might generally be described as adult content, but it's obviously not my call to make.

Certain members do seem to have issues with LB, these may predate his ascension to mod or not, I dunno, but the needle has clearly escalated somewhat with TF now strewn with the corpses. He definitely seems like James’s enforcer now (the Martin Johnson of the mod team) & what is taken as his overzealousness obviously rankles in some quarters. I do hope (the old hippy bit again) that common ground can be found cos some good posters have been banned &, ultimately, it's the posters that make CW what it is.

I'll echo the concerns of others about the swear word filter; d-ick & p-rick are two that I think should come off; I remember once trying to type my conscience had been p-ricked & finding it had been filtered. With tighter moderation hopefully some of the words currently verboten that do have legitimate uses can come off.

Ultimately, of course, it all rests with the boss fella. We’re under a dictatorship, but hopefully a benign & enlightened one.

Yeh top comments.. Word out dawg as they say up your way.. Moderation of course is a spectrum, there is no black and white, I just think CW has recently erred far to closely to the overprotective side..

Ofcourse all the blame lies on CW moderators alone. When you get a chance, read your posts from 2-3 years ago, you will be surprised to see how much you have changed since.

true, but some things never change do they?

 

[GIMH]

Rich, were you a right rogue in your early CW days?

Didn't you get banned after your 1st post, or is that simply a pure fable?

 

[pasag]

Legend has it he posted nazi porn. Might just be a myth though.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Haha, seen some funny Nazi porn in my time.

Lmao CW would be non existent without the few posters back-in-the-day

What do you expect from a Rugby forum..?

Why was Hing banned? I don't really like the kid but he didn't do anything wrong. Abit unfair if you ask me. If anything he was being unfairly provoked.

Should be overturned IMO.

Because he's a ****?

He insulted someone, got warned, insulted someone, got warned again noting he's heading for a ban, said "Go ahead". I think he got warned before all of that as well, actually...

 

[Matteh]

Considering i was actually winding him up for no reason, and that i got no warnings it's a farce clearly.

Pasag to change his avatar to Fred Durst.

On that note, I see Murphy has been permanently banned. Sad day.
