It was civil, and still is! What I don’t understand is there are certain posts being left and others deleted which just confuses the matter.

 

Would be really, really easy for whoever the admin is to explain why some posts are deleted and others are left on there. (Neither are offensive in any way, just good debate) 

I totally get that people have different views but that's usually the best part of the forum. That we can be on here and 99% of the time have a decent discussion with debating views and still go about our day. Yes we have disagreements and perhaps polarising views but I don't think it gets personal these days, at least not to the extent it perhaps used to.

I remember the back and forths a decade ago. What happens today is small beer by comparison.

I don't see the need for posts being deleted or thread bans unless people are actively inciting hate or violence or are being genuinely offensive.

 

There's a lot to be learned from each other as nobody is 100% right on any subject. I disagree with certain parts of people's posts but have the respect for their views and the humbleness to admit that they probably know more on the subject than I do. There's the odd bit of name calling and labelling of others but in general it seems like healthy debate

Nope, I can't say I even saw it. But @Mark has his view of what is acceptable and it's not always just down to the usual racial, offensive stuff. It's often to stop threads drifting off in certain directions or becoming repetitive for example.

 

You have to remember it's his forum, he pays for it and  it is primarily an LCFC forum everything else is a bonus that he tolerates and could  probably do without considering he never posts in these threads that I can see.

 

Plus it's all subjective and naturally inconsistent because none of the mods are on it full time and even if they were aren't going to view every post.

 

You'll all just have to accept what it is.

 

This is my view of it and apologies to Mark if I've misrepresented him

I accept all of that, always have done. Had conversations about it and I've got no qualms with how the forum is managed generally, always appreciated it. 

 

It'd be nice to know how long a ban is for and for what it was for . I think that'd be fair at the very least? 

 

You say 'usual racist offensive stuff'. I personally don't see that these days to such a level? And if those posts are getting deleted then again I've got no qualms with that. Or maybe they're quick to be deleted! 

 

Just seemed a bit odd this time round as it came out of the blue and seems to be the case for a few other posters as well...

I  wasn't suggesting the was any just that stuff like that would be automatically removed and probably the poster banned and no one would likely protest.

 

As for more detail you need to remember that this is a sideline for @Mark and his does have a full time job and a life outside of the forum so I'm sure time is important to him.

Of course, again I totally get that and appreciate that. I don't want to dismiss that. 

 

I think if there's time to ban someone, it's only going to take a few seconds, or at most a minute or two to say why and what for.

I got banned after saying that anyone who votes reform is thick (I think) so I’m not entirely sure what the agenda is

At least you know!

I'm just guessing to be fair, I could have been banned for posting all manner of nonsense on here lmao
