But this is a nonsense surely? Every single one of us has responsibilities - which by definition means we should and should not do certain things?


Even to be aware of Administrators terms of use of the forum means we are aware we should do certain things?


as for




Is there another meaning I am overlooking?

I think my point is being missed entirely and I no longer wish to explain it.


No it's not excepting that anyone is in the right over someone else just the moment has past and by pulling something apart as much as this has lost it's original, if slightly confusing (to some), meaning.

Why should a conversation consist of one another being prepared to listen and adapt? OK you have to listen. But if the other person is spouting guff then there is certainly no need to adapt. But of course one person's guff is another person's bible. Who decides which is which?

no not saying that at all karter. Please don't be trying to stir things up ta.


people in general shouldnt have to do anything.


Theres a difference between following rules and respecting the flavour of a place than anyone should have to do anything because others say so - when it comes down to opinion listening and respecting someone elses thoughts is a better approach than being made to do anything unless of course it is against the ethos and code of conduct of somewhere.

There seems to be a nice sort of equilibrium. For every lost Quaywe we might get a new Quids. If marmots man pipes down santerme pipes up. If there isn't enough Huguenot pedantry I can fill the breach.

Not much snorky? Presto blah/whatever coincidentally embittered surly Hibernian misanthrope may appear next.

  • Administrator
I am the Administrator. There are three or four moderators, they have all been on here (almost) since the beginning and fortunately they have not drifted away as their help keeps the forum running like the well oiled machine that it is. Most of the time.

I guess that moderation, like the law, should be applied without a view to the identity or status of the subjects.


Keeping moderation separate from personal issues means that the moderators can act in the best interests of the site without bringing personal baggage with them.


It also protects them from the few loonies out there who may take moderation issues out of proportion and seek retribution.


The fact that there are a few of them provides balancing views and does a good job of keeping tyranny at bay, although in principle Admin isn't really under an obligation to do that. It's privately run as an act of charity ;-)


Why are you so keen to know cate? If you felt you had a particular personal gripe, you should appeal through private messaging perhaps?

    • Maybe if you indicated what you were reviewing, pub, gastro pub, high-end gourmet, local Italian etc. - whatever classifications you wanted, then you need only indicate that your stars referred to overall quality in that category. So it it's pub grub then 5 stars means it's great pub grub, but not the same experience as 5 stars in a high end gourmet category. Your star system could then include implicitly value for money as well. 
    • Does OP know they can sell everything but alcohol even without a license?😄
    • Thanks, it's a real dilemma whether to do star ratings. A few people have asked me to do them but I've tried to resist as they are too reductive - people will look at them and won't read review! and they are difficult too - my last review of Victoria Inn, i'd give it five stars for value for money - how can you knock two courses for £18? – but 2 stars for quality - edible but nothing special. Which I guess is why some sites give star ratings for different things...
    • ok - Jeremy himself is against mandatory vaccines. Is he as extreme as his brother? No? Is it fair to discuss how the overall view of that family would inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic? I would argue very much so
