Important News!!

What's putting me & I suspect others off, apart from the carrier billing, is the "Days Left" on the Keep Boards Alive.

There's no hint as to what happens after it expires. It's portrayed as a deadline & as others have said, people will stop subscribing when it's clear that the target won't be reached

I've no idea what the difference is between a mod and a cmod (and I'm here twenty years) but expecting people who already volunteer their time for a website to pay extra for the privilege is taking the piss

You want to give subscriber status to all mods regardless of their performance even when some mods are partly or

wholly responsible for the current situation. What a great idea.

Yeah, give free subscriber / paid member status to mods that remove adverts and revenue from the few members who practically live on here and make their goal even more likely to be not met. That's boards ie thinking right there 😂

If you genuinely think the issues with boards lies with mods and not the cack-handed management of the site and the ill-fated decision to move to Vanilla then I don't know…

I am finding it sort of hilarious that the rules in current affairs appear to be all over the place. I see a post has been edited in the immigration thread(by Mike, no less) cause Tommy Robinson was called a racist grifter(it also mentions his assaults and the fact he was associated with a paedophile but all of this is factual) ... So the rules have opened up but then that's classified as unacceptable? 😂 It's almost as if there's a level of pandering going on.

If that's the direction the site wants to go, fair enough. But honestly it's an odd direction. Being really racist all good but don't you dare highlight how the racists behave.

Why can't it be both.

The inconsistent moderation has IMO also driven people from the site. Not that the migration wasn't a disaster. Ironically recent changes even the full screen adds seems to improved the usability, for me anyway.
