Don't let Mud-Club go the pay <Name Removed> went!

[Wanderer]

Perhaps it's a good enough example of why the other thread was locked (Not deleted.. locked)
The decision to lock it was taken and Mikee (as far as I am aware) didn't complain. So far none of the moderators have been drawn into the reasons behind Mikee's "demotion" mainly because that is betweek Mikee and the moderators/admin.

Suffice to say a lot of thought and discussion went into the decisions.

Perhaps it's time to let this one lie. The decisions were taken with both MC's and Mikee's best interests at heart.

NO one had posts deleted. No one has been kicked out and to be fair to Admin the issue was kept private until Mikee's post.

The admin and mods have slightly more integrity than they are being given credit for in some quarters.

Time to move on methinks.

I dont post that often on MC these days, but guys, as Cherry Bomb said.

 ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! =;

[Budgie]

Well I actually like this site & forum because there is no/little "rude" or non-PC content on here. If I wanted that then I'd go to other sites.

I was a  Mod' on another forum and if a post was edited/deleted then the poster was sent a PM explaining why, it was thought to be the right of the poster to know.

Parental Control is one thing but some people, including myself, view this site while in work and if it starts getting too extream then work will simply add it to the banned list and I wont be able to view it.

I don't want to see Mikee leave the forum, he has a lot of knowledge & experience and has helped me out with information and even went out of his way to get parts for me when I couldn't get them up here. But the site has standards and rules that everyone should stick too.

There, that's my input. Can we get on now please.   :D

[Trooper30]

Well I see that Ed has a grip on parental controll, maybe a few others should follow suit! :D :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  

The web is full of nastys as we well know, but you cant compare any of that to what goes on here at mudclub! Any members who are afraid of what there kids might see should just follow the instructions in Ed's post he seems to have the idea!

It wasnt that long ago that they were trying to hang BushTucker Man for a link to a joke that was seen as sexist! Probably some bra burner read it and got the hump!
Similar situation here.

I do have to agree with the majority it does need to be watched and action must be taken if it goes on for to long. The site is FREE after all and if I was to over step my mark I would not rant and rave about it. I would use my common sence and be quiet and behave. The Forum Moderators have all the right in the world to do what they wish to the site. They built it and they look after it. Sorry but I think if its free RESPECT it.

No offence.

[Thrasher]

I've been onsite all day and missed all this - so I'm just catching up.

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but aren't we over-reacting here? Aren't some of the things we are being compared to services you have to pay for?

I know a lot of you don't know who I am, and I know I don't post as often as I should - but check out my membership number. The basic idea for this club was that it was to be for ALL THE FAMILY - I don't want to have have to watch my children like a hawk when they are on mud-club. I have parental controls in place, but they should *NEVER* be invoked from this site.

I can't beleive people are calling us "PC" - although maybe they are confused and confusing PC with *a* PC?

I want Mikee to stay - he's on my MSN list and we do chat. He's posted a few messages that are inappropriate for the site - been warned, and done it again. Therefore he's been PM'd, and this has occurred.

As for the locking of the thread .... it was locked, not deleted. Another forum I used to be on would have moved the thread in it's entirety, checked it, moderated, and *maybe* it would have popped back into view ... *maybe*. There are also forums that take certain liberties.

Mud-Club was created to be "Fun, Friendly and Free". It was created so Maddy, my wife would enjoy a 4x4 forum, and one my kids could read. Don't lose sight of that. And please don't lose sight of the fact that this forum is just a *small* part of mud-club.

Right, I've babbled enough now, I'm going to lie down in a dark room, count to 50, and come back.

Ditto here

Then they go to school and can go on almost any site they want...  

Not in my school they dont. If a kid finds a way around the filters then their internet is banned. 2nd offense (after they get access back) results in a letter home to parents including a printout of the page they were viewing (edited for pornography so it can be sent through royal mail).

As to the members blathering on about parental controls and such have you considered that we might WANT our kids to be able to read this forum?

My son (aged 10) LOVES going to mud club bashes and does read some of the posts. Should he be excluded so someone can post smutty pictures or tell offensive jokes? If you want to do that sort of thing then I would suggest you do it on the site I mentioned earlier.

Oh and if you are thinking of making it an over 18 site then you can say goodbye to one member I know of that is only 17 and owns (and drives) 2 landies.

You are right, major over-reaction (I don't see Mike complaining on here).


 

Right, I've babbled enough now, I'm going to lie down in a dark room, count to 50, and come back.

Hopefully (if you made it to 50) you can come back safe in the knowledge, that I think this is nearly over........

And another thing err ok  :roll:

[The Fat Controller]

i don't know what mikee's done and i don't want to.all i can say is the threads i've read when mikee assisted with problems have been of great help to me along with the people they're aimed at helping,the moderaters have also helped me when i've have problems due to my lack of cumputer skills.the last help was given by datalass,i say given as it was offered and accepted without a thought on my part as i had tried but failed to do what i wanted,what i had done put everything else out of shape.if the help daz gave is just the tip of the help iceberg then i say
 MODS CARRY ON DOING YOUR JOB

Having sat at the back of the class & watched n listened,

I Now feel that this thread should be locked & no more said about it,ive spoken to most of the mods about my probation & also the impact my "jumped in with both feet poll" made,
it would appear that in the spur of the moment i got slightly carried away with my fuming &  as the kaiser chiefs said "things were getting a bit lairy 8) " towards the end of this post,  

If anyone douts the reasons why this thread was locked,it was at my request as i feel we are all(well most of us) adults & this thread was starting to turn into a bun fight over something silly,

i fully apreciate the work that darren,tim,neil,phill,Eeyore(forgot your name sorry) & all the other moderators do  behind the scenes & please can every one remember that this club is FREE,so can we keep it that way by supporting those who put the time & effort into making things happen & also solving n updating as required
