Mmm, i'm surprised not to have seen a "report to moderator" message come in after an ad hominem attack

Follow-up in "Off-topic replies", which is clearly where the above should have appeared.

In an attempt to do my part in keeping all threads on track, I shall respond to all off-topic replies in this thread....

Do try and stop spitting the dummy, Phil. You created the 'Off-Topic Replies' thread for your own purposes as you make clear in your opening statement.

The status quo has changed, and the sooner everyone gets used to that situation, the better for all concerned.

Curry recipes is the name of the game and, as loveitspicy's recent 'Josephine' thread has demonstrated, talking about other food is OK as well. Let's just get on with it and leave the one upmanship behind.

I would look upon my post, as would many, as a gentle hint to use the "report to moderator" button, which you yourself have suggested and were so fond of using regularly

Yes, I made regular use of it when George was moderator, and occasionally received his thanks for so doing. I continued to do so once you became moderator, but it has become increasingly clear that no further thanks will be forthcoming, so there seems little point in continuing as it feels ever more like p1ss1ng in the wind.

QuoteIt is one line in a long post which is on topic unlike your deleted contribution. If it pleases you I will moderate it.

Please do. At least then you will not be guilty of double standards.

I am currently the sole moderator and have been for ONE day. George only quit yesterday!!! Unlike you and many others, i work full time and have a life outside of this forum. If you wanted feedback on my actions to your reports, you only had to ask. I am not a mind reader. I log all actions taken to reports and then close them. Once they are closed i cannot see them anymore so i can't even provide historical data for you.
Given the current situation, i need as much help as possible. Members acting in accordance with the forum rules would considerably help, but currently the dust is still settling and i am having to do far more moderating than i want to . However, I can sense from your tone and your posts no help will be forthcoming from yourself, as you obviously don't approve of now having your off topic posts deleted, as many should have been in the past, but weren't :

I would like a nicely framed certificate and a 5'er every time I use the button please CH. Thank you for your future compliance to this request and payment in AUS$ will be fine so it's actually pretty good after exchange rate.

Oh blast, I've done it again and gone and posted an on-topic reply in the Off-topic Replies thread. This whole Off-topic replies thread has got me on-topic when I don't want to be. It's very confusing and smacks of Catch 22 to me.

No, what I don't approve of is your double standards. It is fine for you to include off-topic material in your replies, but if another member dares to challenge its relevance, then that challenge is deleted whilst your own off-topic material is allowed to remain. It is a sad fact that the great respect in which I once held you has now been completely destroyed -- you may still be a great curry chef, but as a moderator I see only CA re-born.

Moderators messages within any threads are pretty much the norm on other boards I frequent, so I wouldn't really class them as being off topic.

Hear, Hear.

The only one i see complaining currently is you Phil. Obviously you don't like your wings being clipped $:-\$ . All the time you continue to post in here you have no worries, it's only when you stray outside you'll need to make sure you're on topic
Now i'm not even sure whether i'm on topic or off topic.
As for my curry cooking skills, they're no different to the majority of many members on here and probably not as good some
I used to only come here to read and post about curries. Sadly those fond memories are becoming distant Such is a moderator's lot. George certainly now has my sympathy for what he has endured over the years. But i doubt i'll be alone for ever

I've already told you what I don't like, CH -- your double standards. It is as simple as that. You disrupt the bhunao thread by a totally off-topic comment concerning the "Report to moderator" button, then have the confounded impudence not only to object when a member challenges you for being off-topic but to delete that objection and abuse your powers as moderator in so doing. Yes, I am the one challenging you now, because I can already see what shape your despotic rule will take, but others who are prepared to give you the benefit of the doubt for now will soon follow when they realise what a tyrant you really are.

And in your reply, do /please/ try to express yourself without using the ridiculous assortment of emoticons ("~~smileys~~" "snideys") that accompany your every post.

** Phil.

Sadly too true, Noble Ox.

And here may be a big part of the reason.

Hmm, it's terribly disrespectful to disagree with a moderator...
