Nunhead post - removed.

[SeanMacGabhann]

I don't think he is in the "exchanging views" game Declan

[louisiana]

Now he's playing the moanning minnie on the West Dulwich forum... and wondering whether the same people run both :)

[cate]

Are you bored Louisiana?

[SeanMacGabhann]

I dunno cate - louisiana's post is pertinent to this thread whereas your's is just.... impertinent

[cate]

He was very amusing. But now he has been banned then we will all need to head on over to the other forum to get a fix, which is obviously what Louisiana is doing. I think his posting was very badly handled. You have quite a lot of emphatic opinions for a moderator don't you Sean?

[SeanMacGabhann]

And this bothers you?

But if you want to throw your lot in with and defend someone who behaves like that, I'll save you my opinion, as yours speaks volumes

[cate]

I mean in general, for a moderator......not this specifically. I would have thought a moderator should be more subdued.

[SeanMacGabhann]

oooh I dunno cate - you should have seen me in the old days

[Mark]

I'm curious to know how would you have handled the hadenuff situation cate? It would be great to get some constructive direction from you so that Admin and the team can take on board your opinion.

[cate]

Could always PM you Mark.

No Cate. I just happened to be on WDF - a bit of a rarity for me - to post info about an event this week, and saw his post bang at the top of the home page. You couldn't miss it really.

You may have found his posts amusing Cate but I felt quite injured by the various comments he made about me. I'd prefer if he wasn't banned just yet anyway, so I could respond to him and him to me. I don't believe a human being can be really that nasty without a good reason. I'd like to understand what it is.

Just had a look on there and couldn't see anything by him so he must have been banned......

Don't think he posted that until you had deleted his posts three times without an explanation. Or so he said.

You feel injured? Because of the Keltic Mafia crack?

[SeanMacGabhann]

well let's not question THAT source

You seem to be suggesting that people get banned all the time for no reason cate - seems a bit odd to me. I mean, you're still here intcha?

[louisiana]

He was just slagging off EDF. No great loss.

[Narnia]

Actually cate you are less worthy of a reply with that comment than what he wrote. You 'appear' to be a bit dense. It might be wasted.

Really not sure how you have come up with that idea. I haven't suggested any such thing. I can see how he felt aggrieved that his post about his house was deleted three times without an explanation. If I had advertised a house to let in Nunhead and the post kept getting deleted I would have been upset not to get an explanation when there were other properties not in East Dulwich being advertised. Even Keef said he felt sympathetic towards him. I notice that someone has changed the blurb at the top of the bit about Property in East Dulwich following my suggestion.

[binary_star]

Woah they're banned! Cripes, better forget all those admin bashing threads I'd just started writing *replaces 'admin' with 'cyclists' * :D

[Administrator]

Cate, it is the "East Dulwich" forum. It is the Residential Property in "Easy Dulwich" section. We remove posts about Brixton, Herne Hill, Brockley, Kent etc all the time from various parts of the forum (especially the business section) and we do not have time to tell all those people to read the title of the forum/section. The guy believed he was singled out, he was not. When he asked for an explanation he got one.

As a frequent user of the forum, would you be willing to volunteer your time to contact every person and company whose post we remove? We would supply you with their username and their message and you could PM each of them on our behalf, we would be very grateful and I think they would be too.

[Sharon_H]

I think that he/she was talking about the inconsistancy of this forum in general, just to add my little bit, why is the Victoria Inn allowed to advertise on here when it is not in East Dulwich, also the the Montpelier and Hoopers. Just asking.

[Administrator]

Hi Sharon, I would say they are all just on the periphery of East Dulwich. The boundary is a casual affair, it is a fuzzy borderline and there will be some inconsistencies, especially as this is a voluntarily run forum. We don't have the resources to create a defined line and then monitor each and every post to see that they are within those boundaries, oh just think of the workload!

Edited to add: Just to help put it in perspective we get 4,000 people a day on the forum and about 600 messages posted per day, there is no way we can monitor each and every one.

[Sharon_H]

Thank you Admin for your swift reply, couldn't you also say that Nunhead is on the periphery of East Dulwich? Again just asking.

I ask mainly because I haven't advertisd my Husbands business because his trading address is in Peckham.

[DJKillaQueen]

I live on Peckham Rye, and that is technically Nunhead which borders East Dulwich.

I understand the reasons for inconsistency but it can also be understand why those that are affected sometimes get upset by that inconsistency.
