ab6262 Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 i wonder where those sad over reacting woke mods are now?? maybe they are still on here under different new names ? the forum is much better now for their absence, we all can agree or disagree but i dont seem to see any real malice between people since the change, so is it self moderating now?

trastrick Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Hats off to the mods here. For a week, I was apparently "banned". A simple query to the mods and I was re-instated. How precious is the free flow of ideas and opinions to a society? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last mods were pc fanatics who removed posts that didn't conform to their ultra woke opinions. Not true. Not only was I banned but also my IP was blocked, for making a mild criticism of a moderating decision. And I was what you would doubtless call 'woke'. So you made that up.

pattricia Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Did you know that at one time the SF sold their own tee shirts online. They were white with Sheffield Forum written across the front. My sister sent me one but I gave it away. Wish I had kept it now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foot and Mouth Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Names of past regulars that spring to mind for me are; Manofstrad, Bedrock, Rampent, I always thought they were the same person. Of course Halibut, Planner1 (is he still on), Cyclone, Denlin? Alchresearch, Geoff (owner I think) Pete something; was a fair mod, had his photo as his avatar.

As far as I can remember a person's IP was never blocked under the old SF rules as most people are on roaming IP's so it make it difficult.

Mine was. I couldn't access the site from home (as in, I couldn't even view it, let alone log in!), but I could register a new account from somewhere else (work, for example). Although those accounts never lasted a few days before being terminated. Edited January 2, 2022 by Delbow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
