The team deal with pre mod posts as quick as they can, all members on pre mod are made aware of why it has happened, some may decide to ignore, pretend not to understand the reasons, just disregard it, but we do not take the action for no reason.
as far as Rob’s comments particlulary about Rog, any sanctions taken are private between members and the admin team,
I will piont out this that a number this week have been taken off pre mod, a number more will be reviewed early next week
Some will remain permantly on pre mod and two people are on permanent read only status
In over 10 years of running this forum only 2 people have had their ability to access this website removed via their ISP blocking them from using it.
Last week this website had over 23,000 unique users , and less than 20 are pre modded as a percentage thats a tiny proportion of people who use this website. most accept the rules and never even come close to atracting the teams attention… the few who decide to ignore the rules are dealt with equally.
One final point, every time something kicks off on here people post that they are leaving- never to return,
most do, but even when popular members leave and dont return the community still grows.
In Feb last year we had
just over 128.000 visits
and 1.5 million page views
In Feb this year
we had close to 200,000 visits
and 2 million page views
One person or even a few doesnt make this community work and if the intentijon is simply to raise a stir, disrupt or troll then we are more than happy to ensure that the huge majority of users are not disrupted.
We have backed of and been more lenient than in the past, however some have seen that as a opportunity , while for most members we now allow more, for those who do troll we come down a lot harder
