If we locked this topic, then we would get complaints of sweeping it under the carpet, so I would rather it stay open to show that we are not hiding anything and are dealing with things

we have all had stuff taken of by mods,i have also taken what i think are un mod like comments from jimmy white but there you go,at the end of the day the mods are put in place by richard and gemma to police the site, i myself think that the guy should not be a mod [what with the "history" and all of that]but we all have to go with the decisions made,after all we don't have to log on to this site do we?.lots more i would love to say but to be fair the guy is not on site,maybe phoning around?

[NW USA]

I'd like to know who removed my comment from the "HELLO JIMMY WHITE"  thread earlier today?  I think an explanation of this type of censorship is due.

[Guest chrisss]

somehow i have the feeling this one will not go away in a hurry

[pigeondan]

is that what they do in texas sweep it under the carpet, this is a serious thread and the members want to know what's happening as i have heard, of these complaints  also and reported them as the person concerned was  very afraid from the threats

 

Some things never change, I think you are doing the pot kettle black here Bigda, you seem to be doing the same on the site that you are a mod by sweeping it all under the carpet

[Guest bigda]

cant discuss as  said in this, thread, but i  can say, we have no probs moderating  

[blaz]

Do you have a zero tollerance on you site or do you discuss things openly and honestly, I hear the carpet is that high you have to climb over it

[Blue Chequer Pied]

I am losing the will to live with all this rubbish. If you dont like it or the way things are go elsewhere. If all the knockers go away and argue amoungst themselves it will give the decent fanciers amoungst us the chance to talk pigeons without petty annoyance. We may get the opportunity to learn a thing or two  maybe. Also the chance to make some friends along the way and to help each other at every given opportunity without snipers and spoilers trying to screw it up at every opportunity.

 

As I have intimated if you are not happy here you know where the door is, just make sure you close it on the way out.

Some people take themselves and their duties too seriously. A sense of humor goes a long way. If our clubhouse was this dour I doubt many would fly pigeons....good natured ribbing is not a crime.

Chris,

It is not about freedom of speech. I am all for freedom of speech but there are too many agenda's on here. There are people who go out of their way to be contraversial or to cause bother to even up scores in their opinion. I  personally keep pigeons for enjoyment and have returned to this great sport after a long while out due to work and family committments. I come on here for information and contact with genuine pigeon fanciers but there are some who are more interested in spouting crap and trying to take up some unfounded crusade and just end up irritating people. As for my planet it is inhabited by intellegent lifeforms unlike some of the threads on here. I work for an organisation where I have to manage people. One of my biggest frustrations is when people winge about working conditions and say things like ' i hate this place' and 'this place is sh*t' or ' i hate it here'. My answer to that is ' it can't be that bad as you chose to come here every day, nobody forces you, you make the decision to get out of bed every day and come here so you cant hate it that much as you chose to come in every day'. If i didnt like my job as (i have done in the past ) i leave and get another job, simple. It is a bit like that on here if you are not happy go elsewhere but close the door on the way out. There are too many martyrs for my liking. At the end of the day that is only my opinion and as you have stated everyone is entitled to their opinion and freedom of speech is something our fore-fathers fought hard for in order that we can express ourselves.

good post this nice one,you could turn it around and state that if you think there are too many guys here with their own agendas then why don't you go to another site?,but at the end of the day that one could run forever

[just ask me]

i would just like to add as far as i can see this site  is run with excellent mods and also Richard and gemma do a great job its one of busiest pigeon sites out there and is run i think in an excellent manner  and for someone to come on after a few posts and try to say that the site is run wrong (not if we dont know who u are ) shame on u this site the last few months has been running so smoothly  im sure  Richard and gemma will deal with instances of abuse as they see fit which will definitely keep me happy

Chriss it is a bit like selective hearing or so my wife tells me  i.e i am very good at hearing what I am interested in and filtering out the rest. There are a lot of things that get posted on here but at the end of they day i 'rubber ear' them. Yes there are agendas all over the place and most of them pass me by as i cant be bothered with  them. Life is too short to go chasing lost causes. It is a bit like racing pigeons in that you should not worry about the ones that dont make it, only worry about the ones that are in the loft and too many make that mistake about the ones that are lost. Move on. If you dont it will eat you up. i have been fortunate on here as i have got to know and become friends with some top class people. They are the people i will worry about not all the toss*ers. So I will continue to sign on and enjoy the site, that does not mean that I will accept the cra*p that is spouted on here it will get the rubber ear or more appropriatley the glass eye treatment.

As I said anyone not happy close the door on the way out.

Paul.

Very true Paul

 

We all choose to spend our free time on this site, we dont have to there is 100's of pigeon sites in the UK alone and more than another reading material relating to pigeons on the internet to keep us all entertained every single night of the week 365 days a year.

 

 

Chris we are singing from the same sheet mate. I, as i am sure you do, come on here because I enjoy the site and think that this is a tool that we do not appreciate. I have said before some people should take a step back and think about a would-be new starter thinking about starting up and typing pigeon racing into Google and ending up here when it is kicking off. That is right Budgies or Canaries here I come and who could blame them.

i could not agree more, the problem is sometimes the perception of something going wrong can cause damage [as in this case]and Blue Chequer Pied you are of course right,and of course any new starter would be shocked by some of the things said on this or any other site,but what happens when he/she goes to their local club and more than likey would they hear worst or be blanked out altogether

Fair play Chriss I just tell it how I see it and we all have opinions and as they say 'opinions are like belly-buttons...... we all have one'

oh happy days

[sapper756]

May I suggest, that if certain individuals feel strongly about certain things, they claim to be happening on this site, that they do not like, then, why not GO AND JOIN ANOTHER SITE And leave the members who enjoy this site, get on with it
