just to be clear to every one im not on any ones side just trying to understand how and why this happend ,so to try not to have it happen again,so i see my idea of elections for mods hasent got a responce yet never mind only an idea thats all  

[Kevin Wood]

my point is why did no one in the mod/admin team as it appears contact jb to give an answer but just let it ride

The answer to that one is that it's not always recorded that a mod / admin has acted on an alert, depending on how any moderation was applied, yet the same alert goes to all of us, so it's commonplace for us to see an alert, and yet see nothing wrong in the thread because it's either already been moderated or no action is truly required. We wouldn't therefore have known that the thread in its' current state was viewed as problematic by jb.

My opinion, and only that, is that jb should have appreciated that banning another mod is an action not to be taken without discussion with the rest of the team, and that, given his relationship with Ljay, he was at risk of not taking an impartial view of the situation. Both reasons to defer to another member of the team, IMHO.

Having said the above, further navel gazing will do no good IMHO. We have to learn from what happened and move on.

thanks for that Kevin your last parragraph is my sentiments exactly, so may be the mods need a system to show that a mod or admin has seen said alert with action taken ect

You could all just get a life. Problem solved. Next one.

The only two people that this spat really affects is Jimbob and Daz, why does it have to affect the rest of us? I stopped caring about this about 2 minutes after it happened...

The admins do a great job IMO, a better, more tolerant bunch would be hard to find anywhere I reckon, especially when you think they do it in their own time. Everybody makes mistakes, and I think every single one of them has admitted this about 50 times each now, so I fail to see what progress we're going to make on this thread until we all just leave it be

Seems a fair view too Jc, but there seems / appears to be some apprehension and concern over the two main meets where, personally, I would hope we can enjoy the usuall antics without any hostile atmosphere or worrys over all this. Numbers are down and apart from anything else, moving on has been tried. But sadly hadn't helped.

Over a bear and possibly "a wee dram" ... I hope to be able to shake the hands of those involved in a field somewhere this year. Fingers crossed.

I'll still be trying to make both the Lakes meet and Newent. I would love it if Daz, James, LJay and the family can make it too as I get on with all of them and as far as I can remember they've been to all of the previous meets, but that's entirely up to them. I don't go to the meets just to see a particular person I go to see everyone and have a laugh, relax and have a few beers with friends and I hope that continues for years to come

If you shake hands over a bear you'd better be a good runner fatty.

Add up all the meat I cooked at a couple of the big meets and it probably equates to a couple of bears dissected into burgers!
