[Manfred Archie Mac Gerbil]

Good afternoon fellow Spireites, this isn’t an attention seeking thread btw, this is my last post on here (which I’m sure most of you are delighted about).

Me and the family are relocating, moving house, changing jobs and I’m gonna be really busy reinventing myself over the next few months and I’m gonna have a break from the internet for a while so I thought I’d take this opportunity to say a fond farewell and to spread some festive cheer.

I’ve really enjoyed this last 6 months chatting with you fellas on here, IMO this is the greatest message board on the World Wide Web and the fun and banter has been highly entertaining and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my exchanges with EVERYONE on here, even those who don’t like me, in fact they’ve been some of the funniest so a very special thank you to the likes of Earl, Spoon, JohnnySpireite, S42blue, Isleaiw1, Town Fan, Fishini, Blue Roan Lilly Spireitetoo and Quake who kept me entertained for hours with their sniping and anger, also big thanks to our favourite mod Moondog for lifting my ban, protecting my identity and assisting me in advocating the right to free speech (PS you can permanently delete my account now pal cheers).

Also thanks everybody for all the PMs I’ve had over the last 6 months especially the ones offering support on the Covid thread, Putin thread and the Remembrance Day thread, in fact massive respect to those people who were actually intelligent enough to understand the message I was conveying rather than treating it as an act of war and apologies to those who sent PMs that I’ve been unable to reply to because mine don’t work, the most recent one was yesterday (cheers Eddie Melt) who I’d barely previously noticed but sent a warm hearted message yesterday (what a nice guy btw) and I’m also sorry I couldn’t reply to the abusive ones either (they had me in stitches) but I won’t embarrass the culprits by naming them although the poster who used asterisks to swear at me via PM was particularly amusing.

My job here’s done now, I returned 6 months ago after seeing what was happening around here to break the Clique mentality that was ruining the place, return the right of free speech and to deliver my message and I’ve completed what I set out to do, fact is barely anyone even used this section until I started using it years ago, then I got banned and then over the years completely took over by a clique that didn’t even allow an alternative viewpoint but now thanks to me and our fair moderators we’ve now restored the right to free speech on Bobs Board where everyone’s views are allowed whatever they are so we’ve got the place exactly back how it should be.

I’ll finally say goodbye to a few other of my favourite posters around here (sorry if I missed anyone, it’s nothing personal, there’s loads on here) but a fond farewell to young Holmes, CPS, Mr Mercury, Goku, Bonnyman, Search and Destroy, Turrhall, Valley Blues, Oldgoat, Warfey, DIFH, Gordon Brittas, Stokey, Azabrown and anybody I’ve missed out I’m so sorry but the ones mentioned I enjoyed all your contributions even if I disagreed with many them.

I may return at some point in the distant future once I’m less busy and more settled so I’ll state now that if I return with a different handle then please don’t think I’m deceiving anybody as it probably won’t be another anagram as nobody got the last 1 (disappointedly) but never mind.

Never be afraid to voice your opinions regardless what they are, no one’s got the right to silence you or belittle you because you have a different viewpoint, we broke the clique, removed the pecking order and returned free speech to Bobs Board and we can all be proud of what we’ve achieved this year.

Not sure I deserve a mention tbh and never replied in anger but I’ll be glad if you don’t post for the promised period of time…

Though I got bored a third of the way through as it’s even longer than one of Earl’s posts.

Merry Christmas

I’m more concerned by a moderator who’s tolerated, nay supported people being called peado supporting nonces saying to a mate ta ta for now! Than any posters ramblings.
M
The Cliques who moderate this board, well happy to sanction a bloke who provides footage of away games, but not someone who slurs ex servicemen- while no doubt observing a minutes silence.



A moderator who fails to sanction someone who blanket branded ex forces as peado supporting nonces should be removed from his role.




HB was removed as a moderator for far less. I guess the “we’re all equal, but moondog is more equal than anyone” is the most appropriate line.



In fact, if this is what you think is impartial moderation delete my account.please

moderating is impossible, you will never please all of the people all of the time.

But on the basis of that request, perhaps after a few too many festive drinks, I'd be moderating your account to meet your request.

The moderation on here is very relaxed in all ways, and I think the team do a decent job within that overall remit. Personally I'd be a bit more targeted at posts that contain insults (and that includes describing a whole section of the voting public as scum) but there perhaps arent enough hours in the day to keep up! Especially when it seems more and more people only post on here on the wind up...

Where do people call a section of the voting population scum? Or are they calling the Tories scum?

I guess that depends if you are actually saying Tory MPs or members of the party... but actually what you probably mean is senior members of the Tory govt... and even then I would say its an over generalisation. I like to assess people on who they are and how they show themselves rather than what badge they wear in terms of job, politics, nationality or whatever...

So yes, calling those who may be referred to as Tory scum is inappropriate to me.

[spireitetoo]

How many mods do we actually have, ?, as far as I'm aware there's valemadness (marcia) and moondog, ( mark) who are actually active (ish) on here, other than that??

So between them 2 they have their work cut out.
