Sex, TWF & Moderators..
0
Ok - there's no sex, or at least none that I'm hearing about...
There have been a few posts questioning things such as posts being deleted, members being banned, and moderator actions. I'd like to clear a few things up.
1. Posts being deleted.
Thanks for making me troll over log files - however I've just checked, apart from some posts that were deleted as they were exact duplicate of existing threads, I am the only person who has deleted posts this month.
Usually we try to move posts to another thread or split a thread.
I guess I could have done this, but did Jono and Jargan bitching at each other really need a new thread?
It certainly added nothing to the Cheetahs -vs- Western Force thread. The said posts were not deleted as a form of censorship, they were deleted out of convenience (I couldn;t be stuffed moving them to a new thread) I've just undeleted all of these posts if you wish to read them: http://twf.com.au/showthread.php?t=20416 (first 2 pages)
2. Moderators
Moderators are a bit like refs, eveyone likes them as long as the decisions they make are the same as their own. Moderators are not paid. TWF moderators have very few rather broad guidelines and it is up to them to do as they see fit at the time. They were 'hired' for their varied viewpoints and entrusted with tools to do a job. They do their job well and without thanks, quite the opposite generally. I stand by any decision they make.
3. Editing posts
Apart an incidence of some mischief late last year, posts are not edit to change meaning or intent. Sometimes they are edited for grammar or spelling or writing team lists 1 to 15 rather than 15 - 1. Sometimes they are edited to tone back language. For the most part, they are not edited.
Here is an example of one of the few posts edited because of content
changed toHe's also a lazy sh1t that expects everything to happen for him since sycophants like you have been licking his anus since he was 12
He has a self destructive personality that will see him snorting crack and head butting telegraph poles in Redfern before too long.
Do you think the original should have stayed?He's also lazy and expects everything to happen for him
He has a self destructive personality
4. Closing threads
Threads get closed from time to time if they bug a moderator, are seen to be going no where. It's a way to make the contributors to such threads stop and think. Any member can start a new thread - they generally don't.
5. Banning Members
Any member may be banned at a moderators discretion. See point 2.
6. TWF
No, TWF is not a communist state. Nor is it a public website. It is a privately owned website. An excerpt form the registration agreement:
7. You can't please all of the people all of the timeThe owners of Western Force Rugby Supporters Site reserve the right to remove, edit, move or close any thread for any reason.
Trolls will not be tolerated.
The owners of Western Force Rugby Supporters Site reserve the right to delete, ban or suspend a members account without notice at their discretion.
As much as I'd like to - it's a fruitless pursuit. The flipside of this is that you as individuals or a group can not expect to be pleased all of the time either.
---------------------------------------
I think most would agree that we try and make TWF an inclusive site with as broad an appeal as possible to as broad an audience as possible. Men, women and kids. Whilst trying to uphold this toes will get stepped on from time to time.
If anyone has a genuine ongoing gripe - they can PM me. If you wish to remain anonymous, log out and then use the 'Contact Us' link. Or you may email me coachtwf.com.au
As you were...
