Only on run-outs and stumpings, not on some more subtle stuff like LBW or caught behind, where there is equally good review technology like "snickometer" and "hawkeye". It's important in all these things to remove as much possible personal bias as possible

Knock the personal bias will kill the fun. That is what we are having tonight right...? right?

EZZY, yes thanks. Billy with a crooked finger.

The whole problem will be resolved if he approached me first. It is a simple manner that should have written in the moderator's code.

If he has problem with that I don't mind to take to him.

I am not mad that what he has done, but how and the way he is going about it.
taka - when a moderator see's something he/she believes to be against forum rules then it gets deleted or edited. in some cases like Ezzy's avatar or someone's sig we may ask the person to correct it first. but for the most part the edit is just done. this happens all the time. When that person started spamming in the PM's i did not ask them to stop i simply got rid of them.

It would have been a simple matter for you to contact the mod or an admin to discuss the situation. Instead you decided to bash ther person publicly and others joined in. that is not tolerated.

Also, how was it advertising Its not like YOU taka were gonna profit from it.
if you see soemthign that you think should not be tolerated on the forum such as rude comments then use the report button. the mod of the section and the admisn get the report and will deal with the offender.

timbo made a comment like this too. the moderator in question has been here a very long time and has been doing moderating for us for a long time. even if it was a brand new mod they do not have to consult with you before editing a post.

it has never been the policy of this forum that moderators consult each otehr on every action. on larger issues wher esoemone has been given a warnign we make a note that all mods can see. just editing a post this is never done. this is not directed at Hyme per se but timbo and taka et al thatr made a similar comment.

Crikey, this seems to have gotten out of hand. A bit of a storm in a tea cup.

Cheers,
Hymee.

some are yours and will be taken care of very soon. if you or any one else see something they consider "serious" then use the report button- that is what it is there for.

yes it has hymee. instead of just ripping a fit and cursing the moderation taka and timbo and revolver could have just contacted Tim or You or any admin about the issue to have it resolved . Instead they wish to bash and curse him and claim some form of disrespect. i will not tolerate it.

For the record:

1. I deleted the thread to avoid debate.
2. I did not name the person (although I forgot his name)
3. I am sure I can be contacted anytime (seeing the amount of time I am spending here).
4. Yes we should have spoken to Hymee first.

Sorry about that.

I just used the report button now ...

OK please. Can we call an end to this? As the moderator of this patch, I don't want to see this going on here.

Cheers,
Hymee.
