Bigging it up for the Marge

*Agrees with tooth fairy's post*    (Approx 7 posts back on page 3 of the thread..........)

Glad you bumped this Margey otherwise I may have missed it.

I view it pretty much the same way as Tooth Fairy's last post.  And much as their post was funny and made me laugh , it's not really that funny when you're trying to get your head around the inconsistancies.

It's ok if some permanently banned members sneak back but not others?  Why is that?

Let everyone back - an amnesty plus a Sin Bin for cooling off periods.

Quite frankly the wind-up merchants and trolls are no worse than the mood hoovers, the pious and the baiters.  There's room for everyone on here.

Considering what gagajoy appear to write on Twitter the moderation seems a little strict?

Good post.  Well said Cosmo

what'dtheysay

It's on there? (Twitter) 

i go looksee

In the absence of any great pearls of wisdom from those who Twitter and Tweet can we ask that those who moderate in here give some consideration to the concerns of both the OP and those who have helped to make this a sensible discussion?

Know nothing about Twitter   - any chance of a link for those of us who are total numpties? Please and thank you.

My thoughts exactly. With BB an option on C5 this year and very few posters on here i think moderation needs to be looked into. DS seems to have the market as far as forums go with loads of others going down. What ever happened to the US contingency we were suposed to get on here? Non existent. Controll members but dont ban em for life else this will end up in the same place as all the other BB forums, the graveyard.

Just google Twitter and then sign up. Good luck.

But it's all a load of promo's for threads here..?   I guess you have to register to get the full 'benefit' and I'm not sure that I want to right now.

Jonesy, why have you quoted yourself and answered yourself?

Correction: why have you answered the same question differently?

*confuzzled*

How's your good self missus?,hope you all your's are all well.

I goggled Twitter gagajoy and let's just say some seem to be very fond of the C word.

That's not the real one apparently.  Well it was but just promo discussion stuff, as you said.

This is one of 'em. Under the real name, oddly enough.

Quite

that cant be real surely

The thing is I dare say if I were to post what's been said there I'd be banned for doing so,

Which would be a delicious irony. 

True,a real case of do as I say not as I do.

Well that's a whole different ballgame 

I ain't copy and pasting nuffink!

Comical

That looks just like a spoof Twitter account.  A bit like the shaky spoof forum that was started last year

Perhaps the same persons are involved? 

Gypsie~ Member Yesterday at 5:00 PM that cant be real surely

Best joke of the year so far Gypsie

Brilliant.  But not real in any sense.

Given how difficult it is to find anything of any consequence on Twitter who was the Sherlock who actually found it? 

Ahhhhhh,I don't have a Twitter account tbh so know bog all about it,spoof Twitter,spoof forum's,me thinks some folk have too much time on their hands.

Right, well after that amusing little diversion, I feel obliged to bump Marge's original post.

but i wasnt making a joke. i was saying i didnt think it was real

I think it should be a moderator discretion type situation.  The C4 mods, were good in that they used their discretion on who was banned for good after the three strikes had been used up.

Whilst I think a ban for life is a bit harsh for just mucking about the threat of it can work well. I know peeps who were banned 5 times

Temps Member Today at 6:32 AM I think it should be a moderator discretion type situation.  The C4 mods, were good in that they used their discretion on who was banned for good after the three strikes had been used up. Whilst I think a ban for life is a bit harsh for just mucking about the threat of it can work well. I know peeps who were banned 5 times

Indeed some peeps were Temps but their principal failing was that there was only one of them (C4 Mods) who listened, the other buggers never did.  Some would tantalize you with promises of freedom from the confining chains in the dark dungeons under mods towers then they would go off shift and one of the deaf 'uns would come on and chuck the key back into the moat.  And the three strikes were pretty arbitrary as well.  Depends who was on and who said what when boppings were administered

I never liked them because they would not listen to reason.  I am therefore anxious that the same tendencies don't develop here.  Which is why the post by Marge needs to start a dialogue between the Proletariat and the Plebians, not just the Proles speaking to each other for the sake of making noise.  Perhaps it could involve the Patricians as well.

lol Tooth Fairy, I was bopped 3 times and never got to know the mods or what their particular style was 

It very much depended on who said what and whether it was just a one off from a particular FM.  From my memory it worked:

1 Strike 1 = 3 or so days
2 Strike 2 = 5 or so days
3 Strike 3 = till they felt you've suffered enough
5 Strike 4 = gone.

They always seemed pretty standard, but there were exceptions and as long as you pleaded and pleaded and left plenty of sausages

I pleaded and pleaded and found out where the Mods sat and went to their building Temps , it was near to the River in London, just off the Embankment as I recall.

If your face fitted you were back in and if you had the stupidity nerve  to  piss them off, or even to plead on behalf of some other poor sod you were rattling the chains for a long time.  Some people could say rudies and survive, some people could not even slip in a double entendre and they had their head stuck on a spike.  In today's modern trendy forum world where the mods are not looking over their shoulder in case C4 got sued for our attempts at humour I think that there could be a more generous approach by the mods.

Oh yes....it's coming back to me now Toothy, particularly about some being able to say things others couldn't   *takes off rose coloured spectacles*

BUMP   would like to know other people who have opinions about this's opinions

I just googled Twitter and searched for GaGaJoyJoy and it came up with no results? So how did you come up with your link?

Seems it was a spoof link by a well known spoofer Jonesy!!!!!

Yeah, but who is the spoofer?

A well known poster with a predilection for using the C word I would think Jonesy

(but not in these well-moderated forums obviously)
