@divegeester saidNOT IF IT IS TRUE AS IN YOUR AND FMF'S CASE. Claiming he was deceased during a Pandemic. That is OK???? You are so full of it your eyes must be a dark brown!!!!!
Putting aside for a moment your resolute determination to hold fast to your reputation for pettiness in this matter; would you say that calling another poster a liar is a breach of the forum guidelines?

@divegeester saidI'd be very careful testing the Moderator's Principles if I was in your shoes!
Testing the moderator’s principle.

@very-rusty saidSo it is against the forum guidelines but you are excusing yourself because you think you are right?

So it is against the forum guidelines but you are excusing yourself because you think you are right?
@very-rusty saidNow Rusty, how do you think people with naturally dark brown eyes would feel about a comment like that?

Did you forget to review the TOS and Forum Guidelines this morning?
@kevin-eleven saidKevin,

Probably, the same as I do, know it didn't apply to them.

I've had that post removed again.
It didn't contravene the TOS. It wasn't abusive. It wasn't obscene. It wasn't harassing. It was just a joke. It was in the spirit of the thread and on-topic.
Still, no one has complained about it.
Still, no one has explained what was wrong with it.
Still, no one has actually come out and said they didn't like it.
And yet it's gone.
@fmf saidIt was a good joke but you told it wrong.😑

Even during the last difficult couple of years the forum moderation here has been excellent with an even-handed approach to refereeing these boards. But in recent days and weeks, since the departure of the top-notch moderator Silverstriker, I’ve noticed a distinct albeit intermittent decline in the quality of decision making.
The moderation team, whoever they are these days, would do well to remember that over the last 15 years, the times of most forum strife, the times of most unpleasantness and the times of most intervention from the site ownership, was during periods of poorly applied moderation.
This was when tactical forum interventions were driven by personal opinion and factional leanings rather than objectivity and a desire to let the game flow… as they say in football/soccer when there has been some physicality to the game.
Just a thought.
