Show some respect

I dont think I need to point out the Katy French threads got out of hand last night on AH but I have to say this http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=54597038&postcount=145 was in extremely poor taste.

Call me cynical but if the poster wasnt a mod there would have been a lengthy, if not total ban adminstered I would guess.

Yeah. Mordeth being a dick isn't really anything new however.

r3nu4l

Hang on, he was banned from the forum! What's your point?

He was banned by Gordon, an SMod. That thread was heavily moderated last night and many people were banned. More than one mod too!

seamus

Indeed, Mordeth was banned from the forum. I don't see what else you would want us to do?

Sizzler

Just a forum ban eh ....

Can't the comment be deleted

I seem to recall Thaedydal made a remark also but that comment has since been removed.

Gordon

The OP is talking about Afterhours, not Celebrity And Showbiz.

Correct, sorry if there was any confusion?

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

actually, I'm not banned from AH I'm banned from celebrity.
also, what the hell was wrong with that? I didn't insult her, I didn't call her a druggie whore like so many had been doing on the thread, I didn't say 'she deserved it, I don't feel any sympathy for her'. I simply alluded to the fact that it was I who was responsible for her death, and that Karoma was next.

also i'd like it if Myth were banned for personal abuse, .|.

If you can't see whats wrong with that then I'm sorry I bothered my hole even posting here.

so am I, you could have fed a starving child, or laid a wreath at ms french's hospital.

shame on you.

So he is, nevertheless the point still stands that Mordeth was banned from C&S as were a lot of people, so I fail to see how any mod favouritism is being shown towards him and that seems to be the main nature of the complaint.

The post was made in AH.

Inappropriate comment - Check
Banning offence - Check
Is the poster a mod? - Check
Poster Banned - Nope

seamus

After Hours is "looser" than the other forums, in the sense that it's more like pub talk than anything. I can see Mordeth making a comment like that over a few pints and I don't think anyone would be overly offended.

A non-mod making the same comment wouldn't have been banned.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

I'm a mod of the Discworld Forum..... I don't know if you overestimate the power of Pratchett... but I don't have as much sway here as you seem to think.

I can also see Harold Shipman talking about his 'achievements' over a few pints, doesnt mean its not offensive, to be fair.

Anyway, I've made my point.

Gordon

Sizzler, you are incorrect if you are trying to say that mods won't be banned from forums when users will. Let's just nip that in the bud now.

Um ... you have? All I see is a ridiculous attempt to equate a comment by a poster with a serial killer.

Bravo ....

seamus

Well done Mordeth, you're now a convicted serial killer!

Sizzler, that's one of the worst comparisons I've ever read. Just sitting in Harold Shipman's presence would be ultra-offensive to most people. Especially now that he's a rotting corpse.

It was a tasteless comment, that was my point, if you thought not, then BRAVO to you my friend.

JIZZLORD

why is everybody so upset at the death of katy french. yes any death is bad, but the whole thing has been blown out of proportion.

i agree that heavy modding was needed, this is a private site, and the wrong words can land us in a lot of crap.
but it's not as if mordeth was serious.

seamus

Tasteless - offensive to some, humourous to others.

Murder - Offensive to most. Humourous to psychos.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

and inferring that someone you don't know is akin to one of the most prolific serial killers in recent memory *isn't* tasteless?

Good enough for me

Potential-Monke

Don't go there Jizzy! People get right up annoyed at small things, even if they make sense... Ya, it was a terrible comment, but one which was probably funny in the context it was used it. People are too sensitive to be getting annoyed at what an anonymous person types on a forum...

Famous ?

Never heard of the bint until she landed herself in hospital from too much 'partying'.

Nice find Mordyboots.

faceman

I could be mistaken but I think the point the OP is trying to make is that the comments made by the mods who had the hands smacked were totally inappropriate and in some cases, idiotic. Irregardless of bannings, its not really the behaviour that you would expect from individuals who were selected to moderate other forums on boards. Im sure the criteria for their selection didnt include their ability to post ban worthy material.

mods are posters too (and not just for christmas!) but surely there is a line where you have to say cop on lads. Granted they were banned or whatever but really they shouldnt have posted crap like that in the first place.

i myself wouldnt go and say anyhting silly on one of her threads, let the dead have some sort of peace, but i cant understand how people can be so upset over her death. family and friends, yes. random online people, i dont know

STOP TRYING TO OPRESS ME AND MAKE ME CONFORM TO SOME STANDARD YOU HAVE IN YOUR HEAD.

lol @ Mordeth! Brilliant!!!

And, ya, random epople do think they have a connection to celebrities...

Katy was a nice enough lass from interactions with her. Met her a few times and she was always nice and friendly.

Basically OP what i'm saying is that i at least have had some kind of interaction with the lass and am not baying for the blood of Mordeth ( who's blood i imagine tastes like 7up ) and Thae ( who's blood i imagine tastes like Canada Dry ).

In short, get thee over oneself mate.

Nevyn

I'm not sure which I find more disturbing, Dragan talking about 'tasting' me or the fact he think he will find me to be 'dry' ;
ffs I am only in my early 30s and no way near menopause...
are you mixed me up with one of the other PI mods ?

Fair play to you.

How do you know I havent met her? Or any of the other posters for that matter? Irrelevant imho.

I dont need to get over myself chief as it was never that big a deal, I pointed out something that I thought was wrong, isnt that what this forum is for.

If you dont agree, then happy days, the internet is great isnt it

Ronan|Raven

I would like to paste the P.M. that sizzler sent to me relating to my posting in that thread.

Ronan|Raven you and your attempts at lowering the tone of such a decent forum are to say the least dispicable. I hope you end up dead on the side of a road somewhere in the midlands with your hands bound behind your back.

There you have it people. The true side to this monsterous attempt of destroying mine and many others good names.

:mad:

It's from an australian show 'the chasers war on everything' you'll find quite alot of episodes on youtube. or at http://www.abc.net.au/tv/chaser/war/int/vodcast/ which is the official website.

I really cannot be arsed reading this now. Read the How Do You Like AH thread in AH for reasoning and explanation of lock -v- delete and some discussion on the threads.

"The post was made in AH." - So you don't need reminding what AH is like? Good. Effort saved.


"Inappropriate comment - Check" - Agreed; but then most of AH comments are.
"Banning offence - Check" - Says who?! You?!
"Is the poster a mod? - Check" - Not in After Hours.
"Poster Banned - Nope" - See how you switched to the word "poster" here? I do. I see Mordeth as a poster in AH. I'll only consider him a Moderator when I post in Discworld.

Would you go away with the mod conspiracy and the knicker twisting and the what not.


After Hours is a relatively relaxed forum with relatively relaxed rules. We don't ban for "inappropriate comments" unless they're going to incite hatred or there are far too many or it's said in anger. Go play Politically Correct Police in another forum.

He is Andrew Hanson. The show is "the Chasers war on everything" (kind of hinted at in the first bit)

Fair enough, obviously my interpretation was flawed.

As for the PC comment, I couldnt give a hoop about PC bollox mate. I saw something and flagged it, end of.

Karoma

You see something and want to flag it and end it there? Report the post/thread. I understood from the fact that you created a thread in Feedback that you wanted a discussion. Fine. I'll leave it there for now.

For the record, as has been stated across other threads: Mordeth is close to a long ban. We don't ban for small things or one or two small things. He has received the same treatment and will receive the same punishment as any other poster in AH.

If anyone else wants to take swipes at me for being too lenient or too harsh - roll right up (What's one more day of this to me?) but make sure you do a little reading before wasting my time.

How many fucking times do we have to say this: Mods are only mods on their own board. Give us a fucking break - why can't we enjoy this site the way the rest of you (l)Users do?

Some dumb bint took coke and died - it happens! It's a horrible drug and turns people into total arseholes and so if this high profile bull makes people stop doing coke then Katy French has done a lot more in death than she could have ever hoped to accomplish in life.
