Firstly I thought the whole idea of having secret names like secretmod, ravingmod,modster etc etc was explained by the editorial team so they could calmy explain why a post etc has been removed or someone needs a gently warning to watch what they're saying. If that's not happening then why do they even exist? (it's been fun to guess who is who, I know some of...

it is not against against the Site Rules to post something "contentious" jackthehat. this is exactly the problem - you can obey the rules to the letter and get modded to hell and back anyway!

Question Author

It is also not against the Site Rules to be "annoying" i might add.

It is against Site Rules to be deliberate annoying with the intent of provoking a response from another ABer.

Considering this is a free site and not a private members' club, there is a whole lot of sniping and demanding going on!

I agree with TTT this is a typical Naomi moderated thread.S/M is just trying to protect her.

Question Author

you agree then that it is not against the rules to post things that are "contentious"?

Question Author

i think naomi would own up to it gulliver

i didn't know you had been writing to the editor peter. did you get a reply?

I think I have been pretty contentious my whole time here.....but within boundaries.

If everyone applied a 'self-edit' before they posted, fewer comments would be removed and there would be less bad-feeling (she says hopefully) in general.

And what has Ed replied to you, PP?

N needs protection ? no I need protection !

you agree then that it is not against the rules to post things that are "contentious"?

two lists - contentious allowed and contentious verboten - - Even the Ed was dumbfounded to see that verboten ( Hun see?) had been added to the forbidden word list - ( along with Gaza, and PP )

god I wish they wd realised that I wd rather  read Unittled any day ( with his often shocking and iriginal theses) any day than the great big squodges of Good British COmmon Sense they serve us up with

PP, I sense you might need a lot of things but protection is not one of them.

Question Author

bless you peter

And what has Ed replied to you, PP?

hahahahah Barry the post where I mention I email the editor has been deleted by one of your more sensitive colleagues

haw haw haw

surely surely I cannot have touched a nerve ?

Dear Ed..If there is one any longer. Think it's time to start a  petition amongst us abers ...To stop the cloak and dagger modsters who choose to remain anonymous, and make them use  their user name like Naomi has the courage to do so.   I expect this answer will be removed by a cowardly Mod hiding behind his mask.

Question Author

i do agree that it makes no sense for moderators to be anonymous

I think I have been pretty contentious my whole time here.....but within boundaries.

I wd say - pussy - or rhymes wiv fussy, but wivva 'P'

jesus - moderation - bit of  a snake pit innit?

Its not naomi that removes my postings,it is TCL.Probably because i take the pee out of the Scottish nationalists on this site.

The worst thing this site did was to give every Tom, Dick, and Sally a modship.

The second worst was giving them a pseudonym.
