Topic: Why is George still moderating?

[Madrasandy]

Why?
By a large majority the polls showed that George is not wanted as a moderator.
George why haven't you just re-signed?
Instead you don't post for a while then come back on as if nothing has happened and instantly begin trolling.
I for one am sick of this and will not be posting until action is taken, any body else in?

No, I'm not "in", and I don't think the question is a fair one.  Yes, by an significant majority those members voting (a tiny fraction of our overall membership) expressed the view that George should resign or be dismissed as moderator.  And George has clearly taken that to heart, and has subsequently kept his finger off the moderation button, for which I give him credit.  But he remains a member, and therefore has the right to post -- there is no connection between the call for him to resign/be dismissed as moderator and his right to post.  Like you, I feel that there are times when George is being deliberately provocative, and I do not think that such posts serve any useful purpose, but calling for George to resign as moderator does not accomplish anything when he has already effectively ceased moderating.

Hey MA,
Technically anyone agreeing to this post will be making there last post, as agreeing to the above no more posting until action is taken could take a long time if ever.

I would find it a disappointment to see anyone stop posting.
 
But I agree with Phil in his above post, I think he makes a fair point above.

[ he has already effectively ceased moderating.

I would be very surprised if that was anything but temporary. He will stop 'moderating' until he thinks people have forgotten and then start again as if nothing has happened. He has already recommenced trolling.

We are the moderators, aren't we Onions?  That would be a collective "we" so, by virtue of his active membership, George cannot be "not a moderator".

Of course there is the other possibility that there are only 2 moderators and the Owner / Administrator of the site is happy for George to stay in his role. In which case this thread is just another trolling episode by the trolls calling George a troll.  Now I'll be accused of trolling.

I'm not trolling livo, I'm seriously pissed with George a posts, they are all pointless and aimed getting a reaction  from those on here.
I for one after today will not be posting on here and will take all my recommendation links to this site off all the chilli, curry and food groups etc that I belong

You are perfectly entitled to do that and if it is your chosen course of action, I'm certain you have given it considerable thought. It is a shame you have reached this conclusion. I meant no personal slight upon you about this new thread but it is just another attempt to pre-empt or influence the administrators actions.

We've been over this and Stu has chosen to do nil. This would suggest he is OK with George. I can accept that.

No we are not. No it would not be. Yes he can be.

Hope tha clears things up!

Quote Onions from locked thread.

We are the mods. We are the mods. We are we are we are the mods.
