If I have a problem with a poster because they're abusing someone -- say, like trying to instigate a "Ban Janna" campaign in their signature -- that's between me, that person, and just maybe some of the other mods. It really is none of your business.

And that's true whether that person is a "normal" poster or a moderator. This is not about putting everyone's transgressions or personal concerns on a public wall on a need-to-know basis. Because the fact is, it isn't your business. You aren't that person. So what I discussed with Burke really isn't your business, and you have to accept that. Because you're not Burke.

I'd rather not adopt a policy where I must post your private messages to me on a public wall here.
You're bringing up the same excuse with different wording Gregg. As i said, i expected this sort of favoritism from the other mods, not you. You were always the voice of reason. You can't honestly tell me you didn't know about the Marcello saga & now you lot are taking moral high ground because you messed up.

Great mod work there. I've never been one to bitch & bitch about these things but it's clear to me that you're fine Burke's misogynistic behaviour towards Fabi & Preet.

The icing on the cake is how Badass & Janna's trial was made public, remind me how it's nobody's business again?


Let's be real, B. This isn't about Burke at all. You're applying the tired old trope of "I'm upset that I/Alen/someone-I-like has repercussions for his actions, so my defense is to point someone else out whom I feel had no repercussions for their actions -- even if the two have nothing to do with each other."

Or: the "OJ Simpson got off for murder, so murder should be legal for everyone" defense.

I don't think so. But cheers anyway. :pint:
Of course it is. Why should Alen be held to a certain set standard of rules & Burke shouldn't? Hell you lot should have made an example of him the minute he crossed the line, he's there to maintain order & he abused his position of power & got away with it.

You can sugar coat it all you like but the simple truth remains you guys gave Burke lots of room for error.

A public poll? This forum is going too democracy route? Damn how things have changed.

And byrone, what's your beaf with burke calling that girl a bitch? You her relative, family, boyfriend?
No beef with him personally, i like Burke. My point is the mods feel Alen's ban was justified because he humiliated Badass with the due account. Burke, humiliated Fabi on numerous occasions in the past calling her a dumb spic bitch. If that's not humiliating & degrading then i give up.

Double standards of epic proportions is what i'm pointing out.

How long have you been here? No need to pick Burke as an example there are loads of examples of this, so much of them actualy that it's not an example anymore but a norm.

What does that have to do with anything? Alen created the fake account ages ago & he was made to pay for it. Clearly it doesn't matter when you've stepped over the line. You should be punished if caught regardless of date. That's the message being sent here.

I picked Burke as an example because his behaviour was far, far worse & he's a mod FFS.

I got banned for stuff I said and how I did it a year ago so? It's a forum, no need to take it too much to heart.

And his behaviour in my opinion wasn't worse, far from it.

If you don't see a problem with his interaction with female posters then you probably have issues with women yourself.
