Edgware Sub-Forum


Recommended Posts

Wader why has the Edgware 2008 thread been deleted?

 

Nothing was said on this thread by myself that can be said to be OTT and it was a useful way to showcase plans for a club that could well be playing in the SSML next season.

 

Please let me know your reasons behind the removal of the thread, regards Gavin

I have been in Biggleswade at the ground all day and was unaware that the thread had been deleted until Rhodesy brought it to my attention in the Shout Box earlier this evening. Ian has removed The Graveyard for some reason (I have found out now that he did this a little time ago) and so I could not find the thread to recall it.

 

I certainly did not delete the thread. I believe that at least one forum member complained to Ian about some language on the thread from one poster in particular (someone who I don't believe has posted on here more than a few times before if that) and the outcome of it all seems to be that Ian removed the thread himself.

 

I'm disappointed that the forum member did not choose to report this to me as now the whole thread has been lost. And I'm quite concerned that no notificaction of the deletion was apparantly given to the Moderators - in effect making us look daft and our positions practically untenable.

 

On the strength of that being the perceived detail of what happened I am sending Ian a PM tonight asking him to remove me as Moderator of this forum.

Wader - I have to say that's extremely disappointing, will NeutralFan also be resigning as Moderator in support of your actions.It's not very fair on Gavin is it who, as he points out, was trying to showcase his innovative plans for a new Edgware, one without the likes of that Harry character and Mr Gregory who seemingly allowed the old Club to die a death without putting up much, if any, resistence.

TheSpursFan - I agree with that however it won't be an intriguing Forum any longer if all the 'juicy', for want of a better word, threads are either deleted or tampered with by over zealous Moderators and Ian, Ian will actually suffer in the long run as his profits will nose dive if members desert the Forum in their droves as a result. If this practice continues then I will be forced to turn my back on the Forum, the two 'offending' threads relating to Edgware were very tame as far as I could see and I can't believe they cannot be reinstated.

To be honest, I had several PM's and notifications reported to the moderators/admins.

 

I did not have time to go through a thread to decide what was good and bad upon it, hence the reason why it was removed.

 

I am surprised that Wader did not get any Notify messages via email - I certainly got more than one of them.

 

I had to act quickly yesterday as it was getting out of hand.

 

Sorry if people feel offended - but I do my best frown

So in other words you're the culprit then, you should be ashamed of yourself that's all I can say

Ian - I've just seen your post in reply to and1inthetree's, please don't be dictated to as otherwise members will desert the Forum in their droves and I'm sure you don't want that to happen. Many thanks in advance.

A1ITT was joking wink

 

It was not him!

 

That thread descended into a slanging match with vulgar language being used.

 

The member concerned was then banned for 7 days.

 

I have restored the thread after cleaning it up a bit.

 

I do my best here - but when I have around 10 messages inside an hour I have to act.

Well I sent you at least ten PM's within an hour a while ago regarding Football Man's antics on here and never received a reply. I appreciate you do your best as I'm sure do everyone else, it's a shame that there are a handful of mindless members who try to throw a spanner in the works. Keep up the good work.

sometimes I am too ill to go online - hence the reason why I do not always reply quickly. I can go a week between being able to come to this site. frown It is a fine line between letting banter go and cracking down.

 

All I can say is that I try and be fair - whether others see it that way is up to them.

 

However I never delete any posts or threads - sometime I will hide them until I can sort out issues and to let things cool off.

I don't think anybody is particularly interested in that with Mrs Keeps going on about money all the time, anyway it's not football related.
