The Central Scrutinizer

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Unofficial Newcastle United Football Club BBS : One Thread

All,

Hopefully you've read my comment following from that 'Freedom of Speech Newacastle style' thread. However, perhaps I should clear a couple of things up regarding the control I have over postings here.

If anyone regrets a personal posting they made in a thread and wants that posting or group of postings pulled, but leaving the rest of the thread in tact then please tell me. I can remove stuff on a message by message basis.

Occasionally I'll get asked to remove a thread altogether, and in that circumstance, I'll go an re-read the thread and if I think the entire thread needs pulling then I will pull it. However, if I don't think it merits that then I'll have a chat via email with the folks in question so we can reach a reasonable consensus.

Don't anyone insult me with the 'coming running to Duncan' nonesense posted on the earlier thread; I will not and have never removed a full thread purely because someone has asked me to coz they don't like it. I *always* check through request thoroughly and make sure I make the best decision in the circumstances. Whilst I'm in the (very short) moment of taking myself seriously, it's my job here to keep this BBS running, and also do my best to keep folk happy when the need arises. We have frankly the best discussion forum around and it's the self-censorship we all almost always exercise that keeps us at the top of the tree for constructive football debate.

The golden rule of these things is 'think before you post', and don't say anything online that you wouldn't say to someone's face...the downside of the BBS is that the off-the-cuff remark you made sticks around in the archives.

I'm quite happy to release the admin function of this BBS to any of our regulars (including LR) on a rotation basis, so we all get to wear the benign dictator hat; comments?

Cheers

Duncan

I'm quite offended that you've taken that "running to duncan" comment as an insult to you....that's EXACTLY what she was implying!

Fair dos

I still reckon we should organise a decent punch up in order to satisfy ego / honour all round.

My money's on Dougal, I hear she's been in training ;-))

Hahaha....that's what the diet has really been for :))

In the red corner we have LR......and in the black and white corner we have Dougal...

Sorry...it tickled me :))

Duncan,
With the likes of me and Clarky running the board, there'd be a mass exodus to the RTG site -)

As far as I'm concerned you're doing an excellent job, and I have no problems whatsoever with you having final say on anything that appears on here.

Sorry Gav...sometimes it's got a life of its own

Thanks for your ongoing efforts for the bbs. Very much agree with you re: not posting things you wouldn't say to someone's face. There are people that find it so easy to hide behind their keyboards and online personas to post all kinds of personal abuse and insults towards others. It's something that makes most bbs' very unpleasant, unreadable, and downright boring. Fortunately that is rarely the case on this(and the old hms communicata)bbs. It's why I, and probably many others, are here. Keep up the good work, Dunx! :-)

Ditto, ditto, ditto, ditto.....heartily concur with the four last postings, Dunx.

Thanks especially from the many expats who love the quality and content and people of this bbs.
