skimpydoo: Somebody was petty enough to complain about it. It seems we can't all be different and have our points if view. I wonder whats next. Its getting ridiculous seeing innocent threads pulled and also innocent people banned.


Very true..no wonder people are leaving,
its not because of all the rudness and bickering..
its also because its fustrating to see inoffensive threads pulled just because one voices their opinion..

Hazella: it was the same with readyornot0's goodbye thread the other day. It just disappeared as I went to post on it. there was nothing offensive at all. I actually had this conversation with jimbo yesterday evening on another thread that was removed. Its obviously petty childish reporting at this stage,

To Jimbo, keep posting and to hell with the begrudgers. Dont let them take over the forums altogether


Its one law for one and another law for the other..

My personal opinion is that the mod who polices the Irish forum is a CS member who posts along with us....this is just my gut feeling and through observing whose threads get pulled and who remain free to continue to cause trouble conversing

SlyIrish: Sorry, I didn't see the thread in question, and I do agree that it is getting harder and harder to post in here.

But what I've also noticed in the past is, the more we ask why, the more we criticize the mods decisions, the more threads get pulled and the more people disappear.

I can not understand people who report threads just because they do not like what is said in them, they don't have to partake, nobody is holding a gun to their heads to do so.

Too many people have gone missing already, and I'm getting more and more frustrated with the forums.

call me paranoid but i think one of the IE members are is either a mod or else is very "in with" the mods. There's no way any moderator could find offence in a lot of the removed threads.
There's a mole I tell you a mole laugh
Moderators are supposed to be impartial but there's little eveidence of that these days dunno

Some forum rules

10. No bashing of this site or the moderators here. This is a free site...if you don't like the way things are handled here, you are as free to leave as you were to join.

11. There are no member-moderators on Connecting Singles. Anyone that pretends to be a moderator or pretends to work for ConnectingSingles.com will be banned.


I think he did have a bit of a dig at the mods but I stand to be corrected dunno maybe this is why the thread was pulled dunno

i agree skimpy,
and whoever was petty enough to complain should hang their heads in shame they really are sad people,
id never complain no matter what was said to me its a part of life,
we all have the choice to leave,
sad little narrow minded people

Crystal and Hazela, I have said this to a few people privately so I'm glad that it's not merely my own personal paranoia at work here.

Does anyone bother to read the rules???
you may find the reason why the thread was pulled there.

Bashing the site and moderators is not allowed.

Why would anyone want to be here if all they do is complain about the way it is managed.
If I get banned today who would notice,no one. At least I hope not, this is not your world, it passes the time and help to make friends,(on line friends)and if you are really lucky you may meet the one.
If I get banned today my life is certainly not over. People who I have met on here have my email and or phone no and I can stay in touch.
My opinion is simply that, just my opinion.
Stop sweating the nonsense, worry when you have something to worry about.
