After yet more censorship of post`s and with threads being deleted,along with threats of being banned to forum regulars, what is the general feeling amongst the contributors to these pages.

     I dont know wether its the rules at fault or wether its just 1 certain mod who seems to see bad in most things! Maybe if they let them out of their box for a while they could visit the real world then maybe they wouldnt be quite so uptight! :)

    The mods are a bit like football referees. No consistency or common sense, too quick to flash yellow and red cards, choose to see what they want......etc.

    That is not a criticism by the way (before I get sent to the tower) ITS A FACT.

    After all it is an Over 18 site. Isn't it?

     The problem is I see a man standing on a cliff and think what a great view he must have they think suicide! I see a little mustache and think Charlie Chaplin they think Holocaust! It all seems to be down to one sad persons rather twisted view on things. So lets show some pity for this poor tortured soul!

     I voted yes ,

     i feel of late we are losing a lot of the more colourful characters

     in this forum .

     saying this i do believe skyrich has a difficult job ,

     but does it excellently well maybe he could pass these skills on to

     his co. worker / co workers .

     experience is after all a valued thing !

    Difficult question to answer as the threads and posts in question are usually removed before I see them !

    But I would hate to lose the brilliant contributions of Emily. Hu and the other comedians.


    Their sideways slant on life always brightens my day.

    I think that SOME of the mods are a little over zealous in their deletions/moving of posts so I voted YES.  I think that as its an adult site then allowances should be made. 

    As someone has said a lot of this happens when Sky_Rich isn't around so maybe he needs to hold a training course for the other mods to bring them up to his standard.

    I voted yes but what you said in your post is just your opinion (and maybe other people's opinion aswell), but it's not a fact.

    England drew 1-1 with USA yesterday. That's a fact.

    And to the OP, aren't the top and bottom options essentially saying the same thing?

    Sorry, I'm in a pedantic mood and needed to let it out. That is all.

    another one of my "Fans" with a contribution that does not come as a great shock. FACT. The opinions of some of us are not permitted on here, Another FACT. A mod on here thinks it is acceptable to allow the portrayal of a coloured man appearing to make Monkey Noises in an image. FACT.

    I voted yes simply because as a couple of others have already mentioned this is an adult site. By all means weed out the threads/posts that are simply abusive but some of the things that have been deleted have (IMO) been for very petty reasons.

    Um, ok. I have no idea what you're talking about now so can't comment on it.

    But I do know I'm not one of your "fans" or otherwise, I don't even know you.

    I would also strongly suggest you look up and understand the definition of the word 'fact' before you use it again. (That's just my opinion of course, not a fact).

    You are a prime example of what is wrong with this site. Always looking to "stir the pot". Start aggro, simmer for 20 minutes, walk away and admire the results. Wannabe mod maybe?

    Wow, somebody got up on the wrong side of bed this morning.

    I agree with you that this site is too strictly monitored and therefore (as I already said in my first post) voted yes on this poll.

    However, I felt your 1st post on this thread was a little unfair on the mods and gave my reason for this in a calm and coherent manner. At no point did I rant, rave, abuse, threaten or insult you in any way. It's the people who do this on a regular basis who are "prime examples" of what is wrong with this site, hence why the mods exist.

    Actually, you were probably right in the first place - Mods are like referees - They have the hardest job on the site and everyone thinks they could do it better. (Which is why I would never want to be one).

    Yawn, sadly you do not have any comprehension of the situation, as you clearly have never been on the receiving end. It is very easy to stir the aforementioned siht-pot as previously said. Opinions are good but please do not spout **** unless you are aware of the facts. That is all.

    Jinglema has posted very reasonably in this thread.
    You appear to be unwilling to accept any other viewpoint than your own - even when it is not directly opposed to your own views.
    By making pettyand childish comments as above, you are not really doing yourself any favours.

    Irrespective of the "facts", it is certainly true that your post contained opinions and not facts.
    I guess that we'll just have to agree to disagree about that. :-)

    no probs vincent....like I say though, it is very easy to be judgemental without being aware of the facts, and maybe easier to sit on the fence with a "friend".

    Voted yes for the simple reason that I had a post deleted last week. 

    I  moaned about my £1.62 refund after the site crashed last week. It seems anyhting negative about Sky gets deleted.

    I thought we lived in a democracy with free speech. That was the first post i have ever mentioned Sky poker in a negative fashion.

    I wouldn,t be on here in the first place if i didn,t like Sky Poker

    i voted yes, but again only because one (or maybe 2) mods seem to have a serious sense of humour failure.
    i also agree that Sky Rich does a great, but difficult, job. this IS an over 18 rated site so a little bit of relaxation should be applied...after all we ARE all adults and sometimes our sense of humour can be a little more adult.


    just a thought...maybe these 1 or 2 mods are used to working in a less than adult site before now. a little rethinking would then be a good idea.
