Topic: Why is George still moderating?

[livo]

My apologies. I retract unreservedly.

[Onions]

As do I livo, I should have been much clearer that i was being ironic about 'mods' if you know what I mean.

Now, lets get back to George's trolling, pictures of beans on toast, curries!!! (joke)

Its embarrassing when I have recommended this site to many people and they message me saying how they wont be joining as there is too much internal arguing and general bad feelings on here, and utter rubbish pointless posts. George's name has been mentioned on occasion too.
Its a shame as this is the best resource for Indian Restaurant cooking on the net, and it could flourish , but at this time it wont.
And for that reason as of midnight tonight I am no longer a member on here

I agree it is a shame that you have come to this point.  I, along with others, have been trying to point to the infighting as a major disruption of the site for many months.  I recently said that it is damaging in amongst other problems and you unfortunately are the proof. Here is what I said only a week or so ago:

"We should all step back and look at this for what it is.
A mistake.
Bad practice. 
Waste of energy.
Petty. 
Unnecessary.
Damaging "

Your contribution will be sorely missed. 

Unfortunately most of this stems back to some people's insistence on the use of bad language.  Look back over the major disputative threads in the last 10 - 12 months and you will see that the majority of moderation conflict has come about when George has had to apply moderation to these posts.  This is not to say that other mistakes haven't been made.

And for perspective: (10 minutes ago)

Hello Everyone!

I made my first BIR style curry last Sunday thanks to this awesome website. 

I followed the instructions for UB's Chicken Pathia (http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php/topic,2526.0.html) and end result was fantastic!  ;D

Cheers,

Ok it's tome for me step in and say a few words.  I maybe should have added these to the other two threads at the time of locking them, but i really did not want to draw any further attention to them.

The question of George continuing on as a moderator is not a matter for us to sort out.  This ultimately is Admin's decision which may or may not be made in consultation with George, who may or may not wish to continue as moderator.
EVERYBODY who cared to has had their say and voiced their opinon in either or both of the locked threads and in some cases elsewhere.
Taking into consideration that Admin has been visible today and on several ocassions recently, he will be fully aware of the tension as well as the high emotions that  have been shown recently.  I am sure his mod screen is far more informative than mine 

From my point of view, the subject is now closed and the outcome of the events of the last couple of weeks will be apparent as time goes on.  Therefore, I plan to try and move things along and I will now delete any post or topic that makes any mention to do with the subject of this thread with the exception of an announcement coming from either Admin or George.  I hope everybody is clear, as my actions will be, should i encounter any such posts.

The content of this thread will be deleted shortly, as will the topic, once people have had the opportunity to read my comments and stance on the matter.  Sorry guys, but i really do have better things to be doing than dealing with this ***** every other day    It really is now time to move on, one way or another
