Moderator Approval

[BoldonLad]

I've always wondered if you have to be grassed up to the Mods by a fellow parishioner, or if they themselves are the Moral Police who can strike at any time of the day or night.

A bit of both I suspect.

I have not had the pleasure of having a post removed in this forum, but, in a Motorhome Forum, of which I am also a member, I had a post reported by another member for "hate speech", the post was, then, removed by the moderators.

My "crime", I made a joking reference to Nicola Sturgeon as "wee cranky".

I am, by the way, an admirer of Nicola, she has done well for herself, I don't agree with her, but, she has done well.

I would be willing to bet that it was the Wernacht helmet that caused the kurfuffle, the rest would have been fine.

Indeed. I think the mods were concerned that the big spike atop the lid was neither E or Snell compliant.

I know people get their knickers in a twist over helmets, but it’s not religious or political

No it is totally religous / political. Mere facts are angrily shouted down

Mods are simply keeping a lid on the pressure cooker that is the helmet debate.

Which strikes me as odd when the correct side of the argument is so blatantly obvious...

The mods are mysterious and unknowable, best not to question their wisdom lest you incur their wrath.
I am only commenting on this thread to say that I for one support our new insect overlords their decisions, even though most of them seem to go against me, I don't get to see the ones that don't

please don't hurt me

I was about to contradict, then thought, hey it's Sunday, the sky is blue , the gentle wind is warm.
I wish you a good evening.

Never had this before, just replied to the helmet thread, not a particularly contentious issue, very strange, perhaps I’ve been naughty!

You silly twisted boy. It's a seriously contentious issue as per the site owners's post here: https://www.cyclechat.net/threads/the-cyclechat-helmet-debate-thread.187059/post-3890763

Your post now approved BTW.

We don't want to be the moral police but sometimes, needs must. Mostly we respond to reports. I know people don't want to see themselves as informers but if you don't report it presumably you're okay with it.

I would be willing to bet that it was the Wernacht helmet that caused the kurfuffle, the rest would have been fine.

Don't you know that Wermacht helmets are a snag hazard.

(puts you on the list of possible future mods out of spite).

Now isn’t that funny, I had exactly the same thing......Of course you realise discussing mods decisions is in strict contravention of the rules so any time now......

Was that modded? I have never reported a single post on here. Just so you know.
