Talk about moaning for the sake of moaning!

All I have done recently is deleted a thread which was started by seanfax because he asked me to!

and yes stop a cheerleading thread - if you want to know the legal issues that could effect RLFans, feel free to PM me.

Triran, I used to mod the Fev site - well, both of them! Fair play to those who do cos me and fevlad gave it up cos of the constant sheeeite that goes with the role!
Over on totalrl.com the admin has less of a presence and at least the mods are given the opportunity to employ common sense. That wasn't my experience on rlfans and the role and behaviour individuals who admin the team i found I was at odds with. It was much easier for me to just bail out of that job!
Trying to maintain that balance between appropriateness, fairness, legality and freedom to post was never easy mate.

I personally think the mods on this board do a fair job and I do understand that it is done for free by those who want to be involved.

However. I commented on the originally locked one, because there seemed to be no real reason to lock it. It was a sensible post about a sensible subject, which was rugby related.

My comment was removed and I was PM'd the rules that say non halifax topics can be removed. I was then PM'd the reason which said that it was a "non issue" until I made it an issue ? and the Mod saw that it was not Halifax RLFC related therefore locked it. Stange though that that particlar mod joined in another thread earlier (not locking it) which was non Halifax RLFC related????

Like I say, they do generally do a good job, and thankfully they do otherwise it would just turn into some other boards (you know which ones i mean).....

Good we are now having a discussion and perhaps it may make the mods (I thought they were a late 60`s 70`s thing!) think a bit more carefully before censoring! I think in general they do a very good job but should not think they are beyond criticism.
I have checked my pathetic messages and find some anonymous nerdy git has sent me two warnings!!!!!??????
I am a 58 year old company director who would not accept one warning let alone two from anybody and would enjoy eating Nat for breakfast!!
I am sorry my two topics, a tongue in cheek "sack Nat" after someone elses post had been locked and now removed and followed by another one titled " are we happy with our moderators..... can we make this a poll?" were both deleted and followed by threats from good old Nat. perhaps the lads a bit touchy?
Anyway lifes too short and it a lovely day and we have a little matter of the lads sorting Fev out down at the Shay tonight to look forward too.
Quite happy to put myself forward as forum Nark its what I`m good at.
Cheers.

Why do you still have a picture of Jim Gannon on your signature when he's now playing for FAX?

We could, and it won't be the first time I've seen us lose heavily!
I'm reluctant to predict world domination OR capitualtion. But I can't see us being "whipped"! One or two more back tonight and the 'feeling' is there! As I said, we'll see!

I don't mind who takes the points tonight but it would be handy if Fev could suffer 17 niggling injuries during the game which would keep them all out for just one game, ie : their trip to france next week !
