What's the go on here? :(

[lightningdance]

Are the Labor supporters so desperate on here that they have to report every post they feel is anti Labor. I know this is happening because I have been pm'd & it has also happened to me so it can't be ignored any longer with out someone standing up & telling everybody what's happening on here.

Just what are you all afraid of? we all have a right to post our opinions on here without being attacked by multiple bp'ing then sanctioned for a little trip to PNG.

This kind of activity is destroying this forum, driving posters away & scaring any newbie off.

Freedom to post on political threads without the personal attacks, negative snipes & then the pack attack reporting is what is happening. Being able to reply or defend oneself is now impossible without an attack.

Chin up all, we have 30 days of the election campaign & we should be able to post our opinions & articles without the spamming  partisan hatreds, I think we are all a little bit better than that aren't we?

Also if there were serial reporters, i am sure the mods would take notes of that as well and the ones doing the serial reporting would be dealt with.

NW, did you read what is not allowed ?

[lightningdance]

So it's started already. Nero & cat a goner & only me left. So reporting isn't rife?? the same posters who are always on the pollie threads are going to say "I never report" is ludicrous because the same few posters who disagree with the majority of the left on here are a goner.

Now we get the incredulous assumption that the mods read ALL posts & remove them in a presumptive strike so the others on here can exonerate themselves??

Are they told to edit their post so they can get their post reinstated, I'd like to know if they can reply to us about that.

Then we are assaulted with the c&p scrollers ffom the one who complains about c&p but never takes her own advice.

Nothing said was reportable, did not contravene cs but hey, who cares, you're all still here aren't you.

i can say without doubt the mods are reading the boards and acting on what they see instead of relying on reports as liveworld did.

the proof is in my inbox.

nero, have you asked the mods why? they do reply very quickly.

[izabsmiling]

reading what the moderators may have an issue with may be a good start .

I for one can honestly say that I have no issue with c&p's just because they are c&p's 

[silverfaun]

I have just been a victim of a troll who trolled back to very old posts of mine  & guess what?? 

[izabsmiling]

if the mods send posters messages ...they feel that posts warrant it ...it is the moderators who need to be contacted and they encourage members to do that .I think it helps avoid this sort of thing? They reply which is great.

Talking about it and complaining about the ebay provided moderation,blaming other members, and discussing removal of specific posts may result in further violations and may also be seen as encouraging others to follow suit .
