"significant majority" Does that constitute a democracy then?
bozzy said:My reply is isolated to the above statement. It has no reflection on the responses by or about the moderators.
fixitagaintomorrow said:If responses can be kept within the T&C, then all the better. Posts get removed when they get personal, offensive, abusive or (sometimes..) off topic.
Anyone can make a point without launching into abuse, if they wish to.
fixitagaintomorrow said:I fully stand by Steve's comment.
The question which ended with this reply was basically asking "Who the hell are you to moderate my posts".
The answer was correct and honest.
gregit said:2nd time.
First thread was deleted.
So, again I will ask.
Who moderates the moderators?
1st post was deleted. No reason, no explanation.
in who's opinion? a moderator gets/becomes nominated because they have posted some helpful advice.does this then give them powers to be boss over things.?no! or it should not do.to many posts are being removed.i quite agree with personal abuse.but sometimes even this is only light hearted.and it still gets deleted.fixitagaintomorrow said:I fully stand by Steve's comment.

bozzy said:Then who is correct. Steve with his theory that this is not a democracy or Helz statement that "significant majority" is applied. Cant both be right surely.
alainax said:in any system of democracy, the majority is governed by a selcect group of individuals who's job it is to uphold the law or terms of that society, in turn this group is governed by a leader who's purpose is avoid groupthink situtions ( ie nasa space disaster) and make sure the team are functioning correctly, this is exactly what happens in all democtratic countries and exactly what is happeing here. the way it should be.
.
one would not run riots in the street because they dont like there council tax, similary on here ifs theres a problem one would not go bad mouthing to the full community.
if u have a problem in your country u speak to your mp. on here ask a moderator

how am i sounding foolish.ive given an opinion.so have you. whats the problem then?Seraph said:carefully placing your words would help here. It gives them the power to be boss of things, they become moderators, they then have the ability to decide what should not be there, and they aparently decide as a group, and remove as accordingly, this you have already been confirmed. Please stop there, cos you are in danger of sounding like a fool.
well said that man.steve1219 said:Only works if everyone believes they are being listened to!
Poll Tax riots being one case where people had to protest to get the leaders to listen.
There are others in history.
People need to feel that they are being taken seriously.
