Boostin' Kev Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Ali must've been cheeky to the one of the mods over pm after receiving a 'friendly' warning. Never saw anything on here earlier to justify a ban. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to depend on people's moods at that particular moment which is not the way to run one of the most important Websites in Scotland. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure getting wide with a moderator was what finally saw @Jimmy85 get the bullet, despite posting some pretty OTT stuff at individuals on here in the name of bantz.

Been hard done by myself on a couple of occasions, there's some definite training needs for most of them imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Szamo's_Ammo Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 You would think there would be a code of conduct for moderators to refer to when banning a poster, not just "I'm banning you because you destroyed me with a witty riposte". I read vile content from certain individuals (@JMDP mentioned most of them a few pages back) on a daily basis and it seems to go unchecked. The aforementioned Jimmy was a very good and fair contributor to this website IIRC. No wonder the 'traffic' on this forum is down significantly in recent years! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alta-pete Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 The sweetie-wifery in here this evening is off the scale. A poster got banned? Oooohhh!! Never change PnB. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit odd this one, and probably not for this thread but that's true of the entire internet, yet I dont think anyone would be dismissive of the fact that bullying and indeed more sinister stuff occurs online.

Of course it does, that's why there are mods. But JTS flouncing off in a huff because a lot of people didn't like his posts doesn't equate to bullying. I don't think there's anything sinister going on here and if folk don't like being ridiculed for their views then maybe an open national forum isn't the best place for them to put them.

Marshmallo Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Far be it from me to agree with Monkey Tennis and the Fence Sitter, but there are piles on on here regularly. For example, I've objectively had a phenomenal year on P&B. Banger after banger across a good few threads. But the rep is still red overall. I'm making headway but still have Haters. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the question would be where is the line between a counter-argument and/or banter, versus abuse. People will have different thresholds. I completely agree with you that there comes a point that it's too much. Where the line is would be subjective on a person to person basis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying he was bullied although tbf I dont know enough about it, wasnt involved in his apparent "performance" over the Hearts issue. I personally think that, for all it maybe lacks in magnitude, following a particular poster about the place dotting them for example, is a bit snide and unnecessary. Aye it can easily be belittled in isolation, in a conversation like this, but for the most part we dont know the effects our actions have on others so stuff like that is really best avoided IMO. My own actions over my time on P&B havent always been exemplary. Lockdown made me review that. Just dont think it should be dismissed. Who are we to judge what websites or forums folk deem important to them -3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
