This is a massive forum with tons of posts per day. I absolutely hate (I jest, of course...) what the moderators do at times, but, mostly, the poor dears, they do nothing at all. Because they can't. They have day jobs, etc., and there are far too many of us wankers posting complete shite for them to get on top of. The whole bloody shebang is a voluntary effort. Stop telling the moderators what they should or shouldn't do. Yes SRS et al. have made some daft decisions. Especially SRS. But this forum isn't yours. It's theirs. If they delete your posts or give you a bollocking, tuff titty. If you let that get to you, then get a bloody life why don't you. You have grass to cut, a missus to make love with and a supermarket to buy wine in, and you can always watch Argentina slaughter the Krauts on Sunday. If you're lucky. And, if you're not, ask yourself why not.

No guest posts. Real names only. You're not signed in? You don't post! No self-important pseudonyms, as if you're someone really important ("exercising your right to anonymity," you pompous twat), which you are not. Angst-ridden problem solved, mods, at a stroke. Stop bloody whingeing at us and just do it.

As has been mentioned before there are a half-dozen moderators behind the scenes watching over the BS threads. Your speculation about who makes what decisions, and why, is just that: speculation. Stop worrying about who does what moderation-wise and worry about how you're behaving in the forums. --mudelf
