There's a post from Admin explaining what really happened. I think it's on here somewhere....

 

[bonj2]

do you mean transparency like this?

you should both limit yourself to P&L because you really can't cope with the light-hearted piss-taking threads in the cafe.

twats.

Warnings serve as a reminder to you of the forum's rules, which you are expected to understand and follow.

All the best,

I love the 'All the best', nice touch!

yep, that sort of transparency.
See #55 in http://www.cyclechat.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=45343&page=6.
"appropriate language or sentiment" comes under my classification of modding for the purpose of influencing "the way it's intended to be shaped". It doesn't come under my classficiation of modding for the purposes of removing "things that really cannot go".
But I don't point blank condemn the former. It may not be exactly akin to how I would mod, but I accept it, as I accept that a certain amount of 'shaping' is desirable, whichever direction it is in. It may not be a direction we agree with, but I'm coming round to the viewpoint that it's best to accept things we don't agree with. Sorry if that sounds a bit ...woolly.

Jeez, folks! Haven't we laboured this stuff enough?

You can't win. In one 'other place' I had a moan that the moderation wasn't enough. In another 'other place' I had a moan that the moderation was too heavy-handed and overbearing.

I should have known better. You can't please everyone. But CC are far better at the business than some.

Oh, and one more thing. To repeat the original wording of a moderated post, even in the manner in which it has been done above, would be an 'instant ban' offence in a certain forum I could name. But no doubt Shaun and the Mods are keeping a tight watch on this thread, so I see no need to 'report'...

Does anyone have Mr Walker's e-mail address? Perhaps we should call him in, like Gordon Ramsay in a dodgy restaurant. Only without the swearing.

You may if you like, but I wasn't referring to him.

Oh no, don't you even dare think about it!!!

I couldn't bear any of his simpering, twee "writing".

You're a bad boy, Chuffers

 

[bonj2]

And of course you would reserve the right to whine about the conclusions that the jury come to.

I have a right to whinge, YOU on the other hand require a license

 

[Chuffy]

Quite right. You are a Serious Whinger whereas I am a mere diletantte.

you know for a fact he isn't still on yacf then?

 

[Baggy]

So, what is the definition of a Serious Whinger?



The definition of a serious whinger is one who mainly whinges purely for whingeing's sake. But they typically:
* generally either have multiple forum usernames/fora, or some/one of either
* either whinge completely on fora, or on blogs
* will upgrade their whinge(s) on a whim or demand changes that that aren't imperative to be changed
* pay attention to whinging that's the most appropriate for the forum they use and the conditions
* like to spend time fettling their whinges.

 

[Baggy]

you know for a fact he isn't still on yacf then?

Er, was he ever on it?

 

[wafflycat]

I think the answer to that one is *probably*, from what I have heard.

 

[Baggy]

Ah, that's really rather sad...
