Contrasting it to a thread on travellers and other such things, one user even only posted to say the thread should be closed. The modding itself as usual piss poor, and rather than stop the debate altogether if they didnt want it to be discussed at all they just hand out bans.

A thread on the death by negligence of a poor 7mo baby girl was closed because some dissenting voices stated the father was to blame for the death... which he was. So many feel for the family, but when attention is drawn to the awful suffering the child endured, (which is the reason I personally am angry at the negligent father) some delicate souls deem it 'too graphic'. What ever happened to differing opinions?

Nuked actually I posted but don't let that stop you, I wrote "close" after that which I've received a warning for spam and fully accept. On mods, haven't they been using "soft modding" recently which has really been good for the site from what I've seen and experienced lately here, they're listening.

Need to increase the revenue to pay for additional staff to redesign the site into something that's infinitely worse than it used to be, driving away a lot of users and thus requiring even more revenue generation to keep it going through loss of subs and ad revenue. I mean 3 devs (from about us page) to do what exactly? Thats a **** load of cash to find.
Thelomen Toblackai wrote: » Its posters like you spamming crap demanding the thread be locked is what turned it into a cluster ****. In typical boards fashion then a mod swans in annoyed at having to do something they signed up to do and locks the thread, bans those they disagree with and ignores those throwing the tantrum because there's too many to deal with. If mods are listening to the likes of you then anyone with an ounce of cop on will be gone from the site pretty quickly.

I've never given feedback to boards so the mods definitely don't listen to me so keep unsubstantiated claims to yourself unless you can back them up!
Thelomen Toblackai wrote: » And you were just spamming. I thought you were a troll first trying to wind up those asking for it to be closed because your posts were just ridiculous like "nuke it nuke it", "close close close" over and over again. Must have been 6/7/8 posts just chanting crap. The only reason it was a cluster **** after it was reopened is because the likes of you trowing a tantrum trying to get it closed. One poster was insulting travellers calling them scum and thieves ffs. And the only one to get banned was someone who wasn't acting like an idiot. And he was banned for upsetting the rest of you. It was absolutely pathetic behavior tbh.

I dont see how that needed to be discussed anywhere, a work colleague started talking to me about it Friday and I told him straight out I dont want to talk about it. So thanks for helping to get that shut down as it contained some of the most psychotic and evil posts i have ever seen on here.
