She did however leave this bit: "I am explaining to those who don't know, that they would not be on here very long if any mod chose to get rid of them." Which translates as we can exterminate you just because we don't like you, not because you have breached any of the rules and guidelines. But then we knew that anyway I suppose!
Yes, I did think that that comment was a bit Big Brother-ish. The only saving grace, if you are charitable, is that she might mean it to imply that the reason that some people were still on the thread/still not banned, and who could otherwise easily be removed if the mods were that way inclined, were still there despite the mods ability to remove them and that the mods had taken no such such action. If she had added the phrase 'But we haven't chosen to do so' then it might have clarified the post slightly (if that is what she truly meant to say of course ) Roger I read that quote as a threat !

Yes, indeed, that was the way it seemed to me on first reading but then I got to wondering if it could possibly be a slightly clumsy post with the implication that I have described. That is being charitable of course. The rest of the meltdown (now edited out) was certainly OTT so perhaps it was written in haste and ire. Roger

I know it looks that the mod Lola has been banished but the general consensus on cwdf at the moment seems to be that only LG went off the rails, she cried to NB Lola who promptly banned me for someone else's potty mouth rage. They have been kissed and cosseted and are hidng in a dark cave somewhere along with the other miscreants! I am sulking into my morning coffee which is being cooled by bitter tears! Thankfully I have TB to console me. Trento, since you are now here I can reply to your last post on cwdf, it wasnt only LG's "genuine error" that led to mtb's flounce, mod usurpation had already begun yet again and so it was beginning to look the same pattern as The Great Cull, LG and NB Lola conspired to remove me from cwdf and continued with yet another round of culls, points, and indiscriminate mod editing, even giving MJG a ridiculous amount of 200 negative points, none of that is obvious now because it's all been sanitised away, and I believe done so that cwdf looks good to potential buyers of the forum. Thank you sir for that which I think is generally correct. I think that some of the mods have been asked to stay quiet for a while until the dust settles. Not quite sure why LG hasn't been asked to do the same but what she is posting now is all light and jolly stuff I think so perhaps that is her route forwards. Liam is now suddenly stepping forward to get notifications on the thread so perhaps he has decided or been asked to step in to a more visible role as I haven't noticed him modding much for a while. Roger

For all the credit Athy gets he negates it all by posting this which shows he either has scales on his eyes or is as bad as the rest of them.

Athy is full of shit. A better crowd pleaser I have yet to encounter. Rabies has felt the urge, in need of some attention seeking.
A bit like the iwa, cwdf has become the tool of a few nutjobs whom feel the need to be noticed. Retirement, age, and dementia are a bad mix.

It's sad that analworlds members come second to the forum being a saleable commodity when denial decides he's had enough. I always thought it suspect that your not allowed to delete your account, so artificial increasing the number of forum members.

Maybe a few quid is all it's worth now. Any credibility the forum had died a long time ago. Its not even something you could build on, because Facebook is the mainstay of social media, especially where boating is concerned.

I fairness he often uses humour or gentle firmness to try and mod and, often, is the only mod visible. Roger Athy has been one of the best mods cwdf has, not perfect since as somebody pointed out, nobody is... he does provide a reason when he edits a post, LG does not and quietly edits friends posts leaving no explanation at all. Thinking about it, although MtB gets a fair bit of stick, he might have made a good mod given the chance. I don’t read it often enough to be an authority but the bits I do see I’m not so sure - the post I quoted were Athy stated there are no Mad Mods among their number shows him up to be not trustworthy in my book. Telemachus was very subtle when he replied to Athy stating his sense of humour was an asset. Athy appeared to be deliberately attempting to present the facts in a distorted way. nicknorman Member 2576 16528 posts Gender:Male Location:Aberdeen Boat Name:Telemachus Report post #309 Posted 57 minutes ago 1 hour ago, Athy said: You are correct. How fortunate, then, that we have no such moddies on here, at the moment. Your sense of humour is one of your greatest assets! I think Lord Charles is closer to the mark tbh. Anyone who thinks someone transgressing the woolly and ridiculous rules they have is a miscreant is a bit of a pudding I’m afraid.

When we hide a post (which we do far more often than actually deleting it) we are supposed to add a note giving our reason. Trouble is of course, the post is hidden, so the miscreant can't see the reason! But we generally send an explanatory message to the member too.

Sadly I made quite a sizeable donation just before I got banned for holding my ground against a couple of baiters over there (and who are still there in their full sanctimonious glory). Denial still owes me an apology (I’ll let him off the money)

You would be surprised, it's the traffic flow that advertisers look for rather than the content. I was rather surprised to see how much piston heads was valued at. Okay the second hand car market is a lot larger than the boat market, but still it's surprising what has value.
