            Hmm.

            I have read through the unpleasantness on the original site and I do have to say that the moderation could have been handled much better.

            But that's not really any of my business. Holidays on the other hand are my business so we'll see if my account gets approved.

              It had been a long-running sustained campaign against one particular moderator - there was a thread on mumsnet where the harpies were gunning for the same person.

              Do accounts need to be approved now? They weren't on Friday

                  Fair enough. I didn't go back to find out if there was any "history" with all this which by the sound of it there was.

                  It looks like the mods on that site are regular posters too which I think is an unwise combination.

                      Me too. I only made one post.
                      How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.
