I was reading the thread Journalism Plumbs New Depths the other day when it was abruptly locked just as our old friend the Caravanner was accusing Wandering Vagabond of not being an ex policeman as he was claiming but in fact a PCSO.I went back to review it later still laughing and it all had been removed and to be fair to both posters,there was nothing over the top but alas moderated nonetheless. Thanks Martin if you read this,it was a poor thread and your contribution made me smile.

Thanks Martin if you read this,it was a poor thread and your contribution made me smile. To be fair I wasn't actually accusing of not being a copper directly but was asking him to clarify as I was beginning to strongly suspect that he was talking crap about being one. Given the incredible naivety he was showing about peoples ability to find out people's names when they post in blogs and forums I just can't comprehend that he really is a copper 'proper'. He of course claimed he has never said he was actually a copper and then got all very evasive when pushed and when I pointed out that he never actually refuted my suggestion that he was one when I had done so earlier in the thread things got silly. The thread was then locked and culled by PaulC and WV's naive suggestion that you cannot be traced now stands unchallenged. In the process I copped my 9th warning in 10 years of membership. I have no idea of course if he did or did not cop for one, somehow I doubt it.

I have met him last year I think in Doncaster he seemed a lot shorter and slimmer than me not ideal copper material but who knows?

Martin you set about his spurious assertions better than Paxman and still retaining a bit of humour,the other party kept his end up as well which is always good.I mentioned it also as a classic example of two adults having a bit of a harmless joust and some Moderator jumps in and by the time he has finished,the reader is left with pointless gaps in the thread and the feeling of frustration at debate being stymied.Like finding a picture of a nun on page three.Pointless.

Somebody stuck their oar in and reported it though, I suspect 'Miss butter wouldn't melt' Ange with her "Daniel doesn't want "tit for tat on his forum" intervention and then sloped off. If it bothers people so much why keep reading the thread? There was no offensive language or personal insults in the exchange and it's removal seems petty. It is always noticeable when something does kick off on there the numbers of people viewing a thread rises noticeably, they should be glad of the entertainment value as clearly some do find it entertaining.

When you think about it, many gurlz like to sit around and chat and agree with each other. Most men like to sit around and chat and disagree with each other and debate things. This is a very sweeping generalization, however, I think it is relevant and applies to what is happening at CWDF. The moderator gurlz want the entire forum to be an "everyone gets along fluffy bunny" kind of place, which is totally off-putting to anyone who wants to have a normal adult conversation. I fear Daniel will learn the hard way that there are repercussions for appointing twats as moderators - and that's really unfortunate because CWDF really was a good site.

I hadn't viewed it in that light until you pointed it out but it makes sense

I totally agree with you,many of us have prior history as well, having argued and debated for many years in some cases and know when to draw a line,Pointless Moderation in these instances just becomes an intrusion.

Just saw that. It really is getting totally pathetic on there. Modbots rule. I noted Theo in here a few minutes beforehand. I think the modbots probably spend as much time floating here as they do on fluffyworld forum.

a housing thread "wandering back and forth into political territory" and so deemed risky conversation! You really couldn't write this as a story and have it be believable! but at least it means you have finally considered your own navel. ... frustrating huh? Could be a story line for "canalenders".

The vine programme today thread is turning into a little blinder as well. Even the modbots are getting some in.
