Are mods 'ban/close thread trigger happy on here?

LighterGuy

Probably been done before. Havent seen a thread about in the after hours tho ... So Dating sites and even other varients (aka certain social networking sites like tagged, netlog etc which are dating sites too *note not facebook :P when I say social networking)

So honestly what do you think about them?
There seems to be two clear seperate opinions. But seems to be influences by gender :P
For example, dare I be blunt and say (:P) if any half decent looking girl was to sign up she would be bombarded by blokes mailing her. Lets be honest. majority looking for sex. So alot of the time you get women saying '.. oh XXX site is brilliant. yeah sure you get weirdos but its awesome" etc etc ...

but if you're a guy, all you get is mailing women who either will not reply to you or do so a few times then stop. That as a male user you are just another bloke in an total one sided gender ratio (what 10 guys to 1 girl?) .. not to mention certain women get stuck up because of all the attention they get. Which ... lets face it. Majority is just some guy trying to get his hole :P


Well, thats my opinion. whats yours?

Im on tagged. Only joined it cos one of the girls I knew asked me to. I chat away to one or two people on it. I'm not looking for a ride outta it. Just chat to like minded people I suppose. Don't use it very often though. Some load of Nutters on it but sure ya get them everywhere. One lunatic of a young one gave me some abuse when I told her I didn't wanna meet up with her.

Whats your opinion on that?

Personally, I think they are. I think that as long as something is constructed in a nice way - what should uit be closed or a user banned?

But do you ever get the impression that mods, now certain mods, like to indulge in their power (haha power) on here?

Aka, I'm in for a big thread deletion and ban right? :P

for the record this isnt spam. its a discussion about boards.ie and its mods. Like most mods are ok. Just regular joes like the rest of us. I guess I am referring to those who take rules one step further.

For an example,
a new person to boards.ie posts something in the wrong section. One mod would close it as well as saying wrong section. Other mods would just move it to the right section. Thats only one example.
