Use the other forum then, he's quite active on it (being a Mod on it, I suppose he would have to be)

I miss TheFaQQer.

I just recall that threads were deleted and warnings given for disagreeing with mods' decision - but it was a long time ago.

[BrilloPad]

That said, I think the moderation balance on here is better

Don't give them any praise! You could have lied....

It used to be you weren't allowed to argue with mods over there. Is that still the case? You could try it and see what happens.

You can argue if you want. You just have to be very sure of your facts. The moderation has been fairly low key anyway, and AFAICR only one person has ever been banned, many years ago. The Ts&Cs are very clear on what is unacceptable behaviour.

That said, I think the moderation balance on here is better, but the two are not really comparable environments.

Don't think so, plenty of warnings/points given tho so doubt it would be long...

Ah yes. That'll be when I came back on here then.

I bow to your expert opinion on quality of advice....

[northernladyuk]

Which also explains his absence form here. Older members may recall I vanished for a while in 2008 for the same reason.
