fun social group now closed.... sorry - Page 2

extreme-4x4 · 24-05-2009, 12:22

ive decided to close the not so legal ... but fun social group

but thats why we formed it, but to make it very clear it was not to make fun or take the piss out of people

well only one can open it and close it... it was a joint idea. but only one could press the buttons ....... stupidly that was me

so i shall consider myself torpedoed

if you remember, when bat took over he told everyone the site is not to be policed as such. and the mods dont police like they used to

personally i think the site works better this way.

I go entirely with what admin wants, its their right and wish. However there are two site I am a member of that people form my line of work frequent

(personally I avoid the work bits and go into the social and silly parts but hey

)

One is very strictly moderated. One is supposed to be almost self moderated.

I think you know which one I'm going to tell you is thriving and which self moderating one isnt

honest, that no bullshit.

Both sites started out equally a few years back but the self moderating one is now dominated by a peurile clique (which I'll cough to being a a member of before becoming disillusioned with ) now led by a couple of top quality bullies and a dodgy opinionated mod. Theyre struggling big time

The other is strictly moderated and thriving. Theyre doing the most for the most and if some people walk or get booted. Tough.

I suspect this site falls in between those two.

Takes time though to level out.

I wouldnt have believed it tbh if someone had told me but in the very best almost evangelical sense I've seen it with my own eyes

No offence but I think you're putting words in his mouth here...all he said was its run differently now and he happens to prefer it....doesn't mean the old way was bad. Not that it matters because someone else owns it now.......
