Ok then...here's a question for you.

Why don't I have a post button that will enable me to post questions/issues in Feedback?

I end up asking/raising said questions/issues anyway...usually in Chat...or in here. Just seems weird.

You should have a reply button for every Thread unless it has been locked.  (It is only found at the end of each page, not after each post.)

Hey Aussie,  good to see you around.

I have a reply button to access every forum except Feedback.

Like I said earlier, I end up posting about any issues/questions anyway, but they end up in the Chat section or here in Relationships.

Only today,  I canvassed all this with FD in the Freedom of Speech topic up top.

No direct response.  Funny guy hey.

God I miss Muso heaps. He was able to answer queries...always.

Then someone has banned you from posting on that Feedback Board, and you will have to take that up with freediver.

Yep. Agree with you totally.

Little wonder this site has gone to seed.  When Muso was around, the place was alive and fun to be in.

Now? Just tumbleweed everywhere. Hard to know where to post...or if it's even worth it.

I feel the same way myself at times Lisa. To avoid being banned or upsetting someone you have to remain bland and neutral at all times. Eventually it seems it's hardly worth posting.

I'm surprised Aussie was banned. I didn't see him abuse anyone, although it could have been his off topic posts in Feedback.

As tempting as it is to respond to a bait there, it's better to stay well away unless you have a problem with the actual board itself.

It's kind of ironic given the ideas put forward in "Cheese eating Surrender Monkeys" topic when you consider it.

Apparently when it comes to publishing a cartoon there is a different standard expected to posting on this board...

Oh and ducking questions is a common practice on most political discussion boards, it's how politics gets done.

Mantra, the underlying issue is this : THIS FORUM HAS NO REAL GLOBAL MODS ATM.

And that is why we're seeing nothing but passive aggressive abuse BY those with the title of GM.

In addition, we're seeing these same GMs ban victims of baiting & trolling, whilst those responsible for out of control baiting...are rewarded with immunity.

Hence why so many of us miss Muso & Mozza. These 2 knew how to Global Mod in a mature, sensible and respectable manner. What we have now is a sad & sorry mess.

FD is a fool to let things get to this state.

I know people can get passionate about this issue, but...there are Rules here, and even FD is entitled to the protection of them.  Please leave the direct abuse out of your comments.

Life_goes_on changed his posts with no edit marks even AFTER others posted after him. Just caught him out in my Global Mods Roll Call topic. Only GM's have this power.

I think we have sniffed out a sniper GM working in stealth mode using AA keys.

Maybe not.  You can do a test yourself with one of your own posts.  If you edit it quickly enough, there is no edit notice.  Try it.....you will see.

It's probably prudent to actually understand the technology before you start throwing around stupid accusations.

Get someone to quote your post and then go ahead and try and change it.

Lisa - Aussie's warning appears to indicate that you need to show some deference to the global moderators. It seems even Aussie has been subjugated. I could be wrong though.

I'm not sure where you can go now for free speech now - PA maybe?

There is no free speech at PA Mantra..there are victims and bullies and the place is adminned by a bully--

The only reason I was given for being banned from there was I "badmouthed " a very bad forum in other places-- how is that freedom of speech?  Lisa has already been warned by nefarti, of a ban coming her way if she continues to talk in Monks sandpit about strawberries?

  I think that is so oppressive and is consistent with what I know of the current setup. He is trying to rule with fear. Your the one who has been subjugated !

Yep. PA.  See you over there Mantra.

I still can't believe what has happened.

And the pathetic cover up.... sheesh.

We need new Global Mods. They need to be fair, be seen to be fair and function at arms length.

Corruption, GM keys being used inappropriately and retrospectively in order to try and cover for someone. .. is not on.

After I caught life_goes_on in a lie, lo and behold his post changed with no edit marks even after 2 people posted after him.

Lol. Tell you what, shows how low people are prepared to stoop ie to pervert the rules and their authority.

Not at all.  My warning was to gently alert people that the Forum  Rules apply even in the Member Run Boards like this one.  What sort of hypocrite would I be if I allowed/tolerated or condoned breaches here while I made relevant remarks, in....say Feedback.

Aussie, check your PM box.

If you change your post within that 4 minute window, regardless of whether someone posts after you, it doesn't leave edit marks. I did it this morning.

It might be a little over 4 minutes allowed for editing, but it's definitely less than 5.

It doesn't matter what board we post on AG, we still have to walk on eggshells.

There is no place to post where everyone's free speech is welcomed. We have to go by the standards of the admin and moderators and when they change, so do the rules.

I doubt changing the rules to make them less "sloppy" - Phem's words, would help. FD would have to become a dictator and demand that all the moderators strictly adhere to his rules and enforce punishment accordingly. Every member would hate it.

I agree with you Mantra- and I think of the most part this is the most free of the 2 boards and you wont agree with me I expect.

If we all just heed mod urgings/warnings then we have to be responsible for our own behaviour. I know when I am locked out it was something I did and mostly I know what I did wrong. A lot come back all indignant, either they are totally unaware of how their behaviour effects others or they don't care and just want to kick up a stink.

I think FD should spend a bit of times and talk to us in Feedback about a few things, just to clarify for us and mods. Communication is key.

The members used to get told, but Ozpolitic was a lot smaller back then. Some people genuinely don't know why they got a suspension. A few simple words would be enough, but now bans are enveloped in secrecy, aside from the privileged few who get told why.

Lisa may have thought that once another posts follows your response, then your editing will show up. On some forums it does, but not here if you post within the required editing period.

Ozpolitic mostly has allowed me free speech, but I have always tried to adhere to the rules. You know that I have complained at times  that free speech on PA only exists to certain members. When you're abused - then your free speech is severely restricted.

At the moment PA is allowing me the freedom to speak without a constant barrage of insults and of course I'm happy with that. Unfortunately it doesn't suit everyone - the same way that the restrictions here don't suit everyone.

I'm sorry that you, Aussie and George were banned. I would like it if the three of you could post there, but I have no influence over the admin and mods, even though some people might think otherwise.

Thank you,^  it was totally unwarranted!

I am glad you point out "at the moment" because it will all revert to type sooner rather than later. A change of admin probably will never be brave enough to do whats needs to be done. Unless it's me of course ;) :D

the trouble with banning it can get personal and thats not right...now the banning mode seems to have caught on here...which is sad....maybe the mods get swamped with complaints especially when they trivial...and think banning people will give them a break..  ::) ::).. I dont know I dont think I would like to deal with some of these people.. I can imagine the abuse on PM...however I would think their load would lighten if we got some kind of feed back...i mean at the end of the day ABUSE is just a word...some folks use swearing as part of their every day conversation...they dont think its abuse.... others think idiot is abuse.. :D

Lisa, mantra I have no desire to go back to PA. Nothing there, which is why Naffy, skip,AiA are here so much and IQ just had to spew some filth on my board.

The thought of reporting you didn't even occur to me. It takes some pretty rough language for me to bother the mods. The last time I did a while back, a member had used some foul language that was definitely against the rules, but their post still remains today uncensored. There seems no point reporting anyone now. It's just wasting everyone's time.

There was never even a hint that I said you reported me despite the fact I may have been banned over that post where I referenced you-- I received a ban due to my own actions-I am happy wear it when I know I am at fault. Ban's occur at the discretion's of mods- if  was a fave- then I would not have been banned, that's how I see it-- too bad what some of you might think of that btw.  Nef has been banned too , she doesnt whine when she comes back from a ban either, if we are misbehaving we usually know we are.

The only difference is I don't see why mods have to be given grief for doing their job, they cannot please everyone and your never going to be able too please everyone- they are working within the same vague framework that we are in this place- FD needs to face up more often and support his mods, and explain to the rest of us what is what. He is Mr Big around these parts after all. Meantime I think we need to use our own reasoning a bit more-  I include myself in that as well..

You're right - we shouldn't give them grief, because no matter what they do they'll never please everyone. Still unless you can say that you yourself treat all moderators with respect regardless of their actions, then feel free to tell others how they should treat them.

I treat mods here with respect, because they respect me thank you very much!

Respect works both ways.. and if this is poke in the eye about PA, then don't waste your time, not interested.

The owner of the board decides whether the members are entitled to clarity. Those of us who have a basic understanding of the regulations could always point out bits and pieces to the GM's, but would they appreciate it? I don't think so.

It's up to FD and he has obviously decided that we have to take what we get. He owes us nothing.

In the past you haven't always treated FD with respect. You might like a couple of the GM's at the moment - so it suits you to lecture others on how to treat them.

[b]FD and I are at peace with each other..and I am at peace with most pp here- if you don't like that then what can I say--I don't "lecture" anyone-- if it seems that way to you, then maybe you see yourself as a child Mantra..and I'm sorry about that.

Look after your own affair's and continue on with your campaign to stand up for the abusers of violence  toward women, and you have again bought that rubbish here, although  I have no idea why you would bring it here - no one is interested-  !

  I suggest you go back over there and train them to be better people, the same way you do with monkeys, with peanuts and bananas..tell them to resist the urge to defecate on the rug every time they come here- to stop screeching at each other like animals and abusing anyone who ventures there with the worst abuse they can lay their tongues too, the worst abuse they will ever hear or read.. we are just dribbling bleeding c***s to most of them.

Your getting a small reprieve from the abuse now because they are making a concerted effort to be"good"  but we both know what they are really like- they send you out to speak on their behalf and next month they will be hating on you, they are using you right now--lol its a vicious cycle and you feel like SOMEONE  now, but only as long as Kim Jong-un ( skippy ) is in charge! it wont last long.

You need a real life Mantra- away from your computer.  Plan a trip over seas get out and see the world..

I've got no idea why you would threaten me with a ban. It seems that people have gone ban crazy around here, but it's a quick way to empty the board. FD's rules don't cover a member's attitude - only personal abuse.

I really would try to get that overseas trip organised, mantra, something you have long wanted to do. There really is nothing stopping you AFAIK (that may not be far) and an overseas trip, even only to kiwi for a week is very worthwhile.

why would you have to do that mantra... you are doing fine hey you havent been banned have you??.. unlike naughty cods...

I got whatever it was I got I think 24

for doing whatever it was I was doing.... ::) ::)..havent a clue.

but it was nice really I got on with some sewing.. or at least looked at it...a start......geo has his cooking or bottling I get the urge to sew every now and then..

at the moment have sore fingers bought a new knife and its attacked me 4 times I am a bit over it to be honest as I cant use about 3 fingers with out pain...

but I will be bwave and carry on....you do the same mantra and when you feel like it stick the BIG FINGER up its amazing how much better that can make you feel.

No I haven't been banned Cods. George and AG seem to think I'm some sort of stressed out nutcase, which is quite possible, and the best solution for a cure is to go on an overseas trip. I couldn't think of anything worse than fighting my way through busy streets in another country. It's bad enough in my little seaside town with the holiday makers.

I couldn't even guess why Cods, but I was shocked that you and Aussie were both suspended. I suspected when you didn't post for a few hours, that it might have happened.

This has been the longest, hottest summer I've noticed for many years. The humidity is knocking a lot of people around. We had a few drops last night, but it didn't dampen the ground or cool anything off. Today is predicted to be even hotter unfortunately.

Cods I'm sure a few people missed you. Regardless of some of the hurtful words that are thrown at you, you are part of this forum and are entitled to feel as comfortable and welcome here as anyone else.

Lovely cool weather in Adelaide lately. 23°C max today, heating up again slowly from the middle of the week.

Actually—last week it was humid and nasty and that weather is now around Canberra.

haha you just miss my cooking tips....

yes the weather is weird its very draining I find...its a good excuse for doing as little as possible I find.. ;)

Yes, yes, I hang off your cooking tips cods and they are all that is keeping Fermentations going. . .cut up another kilo of plums, having brekky and then the next lot.

For a change of pace I might then cut up peaches, start them on their transformation into peach butter.

I know how good the final product is cods, that is where the energy comes from. Need frequent rest breaks—my stainless steel hip hurts when I stand for any period of time. Going to make sure kitchen in Tassie house has room for a sturdy wooden table, doesn’t need to be huge, where I can knead bread and sit preparing food, reducing load on my hip.

A house built on footings of old car types should have nice resilient floors. Cement slab floors NOT WANTED!

As most have now worked out, Aussie is not himself. He has now doubt been left permanently traumatised by his recent ban.

He just needs time to recover. And, as such, we need to be patient with him.

Hopefully the REAL Aussie will be back on deck soon, not this frightened rabbit that's scared to make any move.




Note to Aussie : Wake up & stop your nonsense. It's pathetic seeing you like this. Post with conviction, confidence and pride.  Whatever corrupt, Stalinist type regime is in place on Oz Pol atm, it won't last.

Aussie- just go about your business in your own way-- how ever way you choose to cope with any situation is your way and in that case, the right way! If you are upset with anything  that has happened or you are unduly upset you then start your own PA-the biggest and best.

When I "took over" modding the Relationships Board, I was already a Member here posting under the 'Aussie' Tag.  I thought I'd experiment using an anonymous tag to do the modding, so created 'Mod.'  When I did that, I made a private commitment to be honest with my reply to any question as to whether 'Mod.' was 'Aussie.'  Sure enough, it was not long before someone asked, so I outed my self as explained.

I am not, and never have been, a GMod.  I moderate here and at the Palmer United Party Board way down below beneath The Tool Shed.

May I ask "why do you ask?"

No real reason just wondered if you were some sort of  MOD across the main boards. I have seen other boards that have a MOD user that allows the moderators to remain anonymous by logging in as MOD. Used to give warnings especially to stop all the whinging about a particular mod.

I dont know whats wrong with whingeing...I think its good to get stuff off your chest.. and not in some secret board either.....men from what I have read dont whinge enough...they drown their sorrows.. ::)or attempt to.. this leads to many other things of course..

talking about things that cause you distress is nothing to be ashamed of some times sharing a problem can solve it...sometimes it just lifts the spirits...

most people that commit suicide do not share their pain why who knows.. maybe its a sign of FAIL...but from failing comes lessons...you remember that pain and do your level best not to go there again......

well some of us do.

I believe in encouraging whingeing...I call it sharing.

I have no idea what that is supposed to mean.  I am complying precisely with the Rules in the matter as you know.  I am waiting for the response the Rule obliviously implies I will get, one every Member would get in accordance with that Rule.

So Aussie you have an alter ego MOD but are not a Global Mod, Do you mod all boards? When I "took over" modding the Relationships Board, I was already a Member here posting under the 'Aussie' Tag.  I thought I'd experiment using an anonymous tag to do the modding, so created 'Mod.'  When I did that, I made a private commitment to be honest with my reply to any question as to whether 'Mod.' was 'Aussie.'  Sure enough, it was not long before someone asked, so I outed my self as explained. I am not, and never have been, a GMod.  I moderate here and at the Palmer United Party Board way down below beneath The Tool Shed. May I ask "why do you ask?" No real reason just wondered if you were some sort of  MOD across the main boards. I have seen other boards that have a MOD user that allows the moderators to remain anonymous by logging in as MOD. Used to give warnings especially to stop all the whinging about a particular mod. Slightly modified cods

why is whingeing about a mod off limits??.. is that because you have reached dizzy heights???...

woowooo whats it like up there??>..is the air fresher

lol...

in this free world that many have died for.. nothing should be off limits....its called FREEDOM OF SPEECH..

btw red are the gm allowed to read the mens shed???>...remembering one is female....

I am just the messenger cods dont shoot me, was just commenting on what I have seen in other forums

I can't even see the Mens Shed.is 'sposed to be?

Go and start an argument with someone else, I am not interested

Phew and yes I am a girl-- cods is a girl too and therefore  lovely and a bit feisty in my eyes.
Us girls need more like her in this male dominated world we live in.   :P

Just go to your profile, click change profile, set sex to “male” have a perv in the Shed Board, then change your sex back to female.

You know I did that the other day..but I didn't save the right setting- lol. Its just what I thought it might be actually..

This one was directed at me:

......why don't you tell us how you first ****** your mum behind the shed? we could give it its own thread, "My First Time" and everyone could share their first sexual experience.

No ban issued to AiA, but Redneck took the only action he could, and deleted it.

That is disgusting Aussie--it says far more about him and than you -just a shame really that he has to sink that low. Bringing PA into disrepute yet again.

Oh....I am quite sure they are all very well aware of it, A.G.

Probably not a bad idea for everyone to move on now.

why? is there a rule against this topic?

You'll need to explain that.  Far too oblique for Members, yet disturbing.  You also have not responded to my request that you make sense about that 'build a bridge' post you made up there.

Andrei.....I am a tad worried about you coming along and posting sinister double speak when you could just as easily use open, clear language and post without black, menacing ambiguity.  Just say what you mean.

It leads to a question Andrei does not want to answer.

It's just tedious and goes around in circles.

Andrei.Hicks wrote on Jan 25^th, 2015 at 5:31pm:

Only because you speak in garble.  Please, man up and say exactly what you mean, instead of the menacing waffle.

I'll let you carry on.
This is nothing to do with me.
if you want to bitch and moan it's up to you.

But it's kinda boring in my opinion.

You'll 'let me', will you?  How ever so generous of you.  Thanks.

So.....you come along here, make ambiguous but clearly sinisterly threatening (given you are a GMod)  posts, and when asked to explain, you refuse.

What is that?  Trolling the Board, or what, Andrei?  Is is 'baiting,' Andrei?

How about YOU move on...right OUT of here.

Don't EVER barge into a Member Run Forum and assume YOU can take over the job of modding it.

I can assure you, if you try such a stunt again, your days of baiting and trolling around with the GM title will be numbered.

And that isn't a threat, it's a promise.

Outta here. I'm too disgusted to post even in here...my own topic.

Hey Aussie,  good to see you around. I have a reply button to access every forum except Feedback. Like I said earlier, I end up posting about any issues/questions anyway, but they end up in the Chat section or here in Relationships. Only today,  I canvassed all this with FD in the Freedom of Speech topic up top. No direct response.  Funny guy hey. God I miss Muso heaps. He was able to answer queries...always.

Up! Just to bring the topic back on track.

Wish Muso was around....best GM this forum ever had.

Lisa, your keyboard is writing cheques you cannot pay on.  That sort of outrageous hyperbole is just silly, at best.  I'm sure Andrei will not be shaking in his boots.

I know Andrei....and he knows me (off these boards).  We go back a looooong way. That is why I scold him like a little school boy. He is most probably laughing his head off.

Just wish Muso was here damn it.

Anyway, who the hell recommended Andrei anyway?

Muso was an awesome GMod- that I do agree with.

Some things are axiomatic AG.

I miss reading Muso's posts. He always had something new & interestng... worthwhile to post.

These days, I'm left wondering if he lurks about from time to time...just reading our posts.

Well if Muso is lurking about .. I wish he would drop by and say hello.

I'm probably asking too much.. :-[

No they are not! They are NOTHING at all like the every day people I associate with.

Some trolls are funny.
post modern trendoid and karmal do a lot of what I would call "cheeky trolling"

some are annoying in a "mosquito buzzing round your ear" sort of way. peccary and his Illegals is a bit like that.

its only the really nasty trolls who should be given their marching orders , and I actually find the place, quite good humoured.

Nahhh,  those 2 are larrakins. Trolls are very different. They troll you online and even threaten to troll offline by coming to your home. They see nothing wrong with the latter in their headspace. It's all normal, every day stuff.

There is a huge difference between someone who has their own personal fun online and someone who goes looking for someone else actively. Some threaten it and I have seen one person threaten it many times ( on the other board) and some I know have actually had these stalkers turn up outside their house. Once you troll/stalk someone offline, then that enters a whole world of reality they dont want to know about. Police/charges and jail...or worse.

OMFG,  anyone who takes the interweb that seriously should be lobotomised

Tell me about it. I have had it with such idiots. And yes, they seem to frequent that other board for some strange reason.....sigh.

Tis a pity that some long term regulars, some who even mod several Ozpolitic forums do not feel able to PM FD about forum security issues which affect them.

As a result, they can only be heard by raising topics which ultimately get out of control.

I've come to the conclusion that many people love to come to this website just so they can have a whinge, a vent, a fight or just an almighty war.

It must be some type of therapy for them..

It is good to see some introspection Lisa ~ now to work on that !

They're just pesky cyber ghosts, you should get your husband to exorcise them from your computer before they do serious damage to your inner psyche.
