General Discussion Of Moderation Procedures 9.0

I do not know much about the background of this argument. But I must say that if I were to be confined to a "special" forum described as a "sandbox" as though I were a child, I would not post here again. Being restricted in that way is humiliating in a real sense. Not humiliating in the practical sense of our lives in the mundane world, but humiliating for the online personae we all adopt on this forum.

​

I agree with Ray that a permanent restriction to the "sandbox" forum is unfair and does not reflect well on the "liberal thinking" of the moderators.

So what's the alternative? either banning or allowing him to rant and disrupt other threads? How would you handle it?

That's a reply about how the world should be - sadly it's not related to how the world is. It's ok saying "no is forced to debate Ray", but if you start a debate and it's dragged off course - at the very least, you get into the "please stop" "will a moderator stop this" etc.

nothing like a bit of reality distortion field - Randman is a liar, he's been a liar since he turned up. He was telling porkies from the start.Edited by CK, : No reason given.

Of course it's about rattling a cage - once you put people in the "special section", you can call it the zoo, the showcase,whatever people soon work out that that a) most of the people in there are not well and b) conversation is a waste of time - so people take the piss. Sadly it's human nature.Edited by CK, : No reason given.

I have no problem with the suspension - I'd already read mod's previous post when I made my comments. I fully expected to be suspended.
