Don't really see that as a counter argument to be honest. Just because some people don't report something doesn't mean they automatically agree with the content of what was said.

Ok I so what you are saying now. No what i mean is, members may complain about a comment yet others will also complain when it's removed. This is what i mean about the perception.. How one comment may be seen differently. It's not always black and white.

Ah, that makes much more sense.

I see the problem. Yours says hotmail.com, but mine says hotmail.co.uk.

Embarrassing

Gilly is a real person - honest

A post-it about your naughty bits. Really nothing to worry about.

It also details things like name changes and the like.

Basically any time a mod takes an action on an account more serious than a minor edit, or moving a thread we are likely to make a note of it (or try to).

The reason is it lets all the mods track what is going on at a glance, and how often we've had to deal with them.
For example if someone has had 3 name changes (at their request) in a year I may refuse to do another one for 6 months.
Or if someone keeps getting suspended for the same thing we can deal with it differently (IE a longer suspension and a specific warning).

I got a two week suspension for calling someone homosexual (not serious), but Justin got nothing for calling me gay.

Apologies to the Mods because I didn't mean this to turn into Mod bashing because I think you do a great job.

And I still don't know why the NHS thread got deleted.

It was also a good job you closed the Big man thread because my index finger was getting sore from pressing F5.
Probably the best thread we've ever had on here.

I've asked for it to be amended, needs an admin touch.

Tummy · 19 Dec 2011 at 16:53

I emailed you Gilly -_-

The not so all powerful Gilly, the worlds going to end at this revelation.

How do you mean?

God complex?

Also, I'll resend.

*Note, God complex was said in an attempt at humour, don't ban me.

Probably referring to the fact that you used to have the power to correct problems such as that, but not anymore.

Or probably not.

Well, the last of your seventeen user notes was me, in November, where you were given a week off. A ban note would have been left on your account telling you why you were suspended and the offending post would have been modified with yellow mod text too, or deleted with a note.

I can assure you I wasn't in the wrong

Oh behave. Are you seriously saying that you are never too busy to reply to a thread, ever?

Many reported posts are time-dependant. They need swift response. They usually get it, and don't always allow for someone to leave a note. Get over it!

Medical threads aren't allowed. This is covered in the FAQ.

If I'd be able to go into a thread, read it, lock it, then no, I'd not be too busy.

I was not asking for direct medical advice so that excuse you gave does not count, also not to mention I've seen plenty of threads with "medical" stuff in it that do not get closed.

The speed mods seem to act on things on this forum means it is HIGHLY unlikely this thread: http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18353627 has not being spotted by a mod, it's got 22 replies, and you've not locked it.
