thank you Chubbs

Was your neighbour known as Rail Trainer or Rhino Winner on the Crusaders forum by any chance?

Quote: Firefly-half "As the title suggests, felt the need today to bin the Crusaders-till-I-die forum and post exclusively here. Not averse to some aggro on messageboards, even from the moderators. But when said moderators hypocritically lecture others and ban them for doing the same things it is time to leave. Hell it was NEARLY as bad as the idiot moderators on the BBC website. RLfans only for me from now on. A bit more relaxed and adult attitude from the mods.'" Try www.onerugbyleague.proboards76.com we need some Celtic fans

Chubbs,

Thanks for the peacemaking efforts.

With the benefit of hindsight what I said on the other board was a bit out of order. I also unfairly unloaded it all at Ianthephotoman. I still have some issues with that board but ITPM is not the reason. I certainly apologise for the ripe language.

But I'll not be returning to CTID anythime soon.

fair enough shame to see you leave. as someone else said you often bring something decent to the table in terms of discussion.

ian said some times things are unfairly moderated becasue he can't be online 24/7 so can't verify all posts. i've asked how many mod's there are and if this is enough. also i asked if its possible to censor expletives to stop further problems.

there is a need for discussion about the moderation on the board and i think it will come in the very near future.

anyway cru jnr got his apology hope you will show up before next season

chubbs

Well im on both boards as well as the totalrl forum and they all are pretty good. Nothing is pefect including modding or other people. The truth is that most discussion on the crusaders goes on at the tilidie forum and we should all try to express our opinions in a cordial manner. Its a great resource and needs to develop. I already volunteered to be a mod and a more clear cut and discussed "terms of use" and more mods are essential for it to develop in and even better resource.

when did you volounteer and did you get any joy? i think as its an unofficial board it should be regulated like one.

in a thread that had gone so far off the subject it had become silly. Ian said no thanks and i left it at that.
Of course its unofficial which doesnt require heavy policing just the usual stuff as already mentioned. Needs a springclean as well.

a propper springclean alot of the stuff is hardly used and mostly irrelevant.

the cru chat is the only major one worth keeping. i'd say merge the acadmey sections. move travel club into the cru chat as a sticky. is RU necessary? there is a general chat section after all.

I am actually in the middle of a move back to Yorkshire at the moment. I have lived in South Wales for about 5 years now and was at one time a big fan of the Bradford Bulls, but with my disability I will find it more practical to be back near my family and sons. They have a farm between Garforth and York, the open countryside will make my life a lot easier so unfortunately, I will be moving in the next week or two. Thanks for the offer anyway. CHEERS

so we'll see you at belle vue or odsal then?

i'm going to the wakey game work dependant the mrs found out what shops are in leeds and made the decision for us

If you go to Leeds, go to the city , I used to spend many hours there with my husband in tow and though the shops are really good, having your husband with you when it is close to kick off time is a nightmare. Never take a man shopping as they are as bad as having a woman at a rugby match. But seriously, if you go there the shops are first class with all the big name stores and many designer stores as well.

Moderating a site (an independant site) should be straight forward. All you need in my opinion is a code of practice where you are banned from using foul and/or abusive language and also to stop posters who use defamatory remarks against people which could result in legal action. If you do you will be barred. Just think bafore posting and there shouldn't be a problem. I think some people reply before giving it a bit of thought and then regret it afterwards. I am one of the worst ones for doing it myself but I can understand why it is done. The more you care about a subject the less thought you put in before you answer the post.

just an update. Jannerboy and myself have been promoted to mods.

there are emails doing the rounds between us and the admins regrading idea's, code of conduct, when people should be banned etc. hopefully these things will be put into motion either wholely or in part.

things will take a bit of time but should be different in the not to distant future.

Hoping you can find your way back
