A-H "I think it's reasonable that an element of human nature is involved in moderation - what one Mod may delete, another may allow - that's simply the nature of moderation. " I agree entirely, but please remember that this is a two-way mechanism and that the perpetrator may not have answered in a way that can be described as rude.....e,g the OP of this thread....

What on earth is wrong with suggesting that people use Google? It can save a lot of time. Google does not provide all the answers, though, hence the need for AB. Other posters with the relevant knowledge can provide instant information, thus saving the time and trouble of ploughing through masses of information on Google. There is a well-known poster on here who appears to be omniscient whilst in reality he just uses Google and relays the answer back. There used to be another poster, a few years back now, who would answer with a screen saying, 'Let me Google that for you. How difficult is that?' Now that IS rude.

There used to be another poster, a few years back now, who would answer with a screen saying, 'Let me Google that for you. How difficult is that?' Now that IS rude.

And he was a mod (not that I was bothered about ''Let me Google that for you'

Dave...unacceptable ...YES.
But "rude".....surely not.

Knew it wasn't in 'The Rules'. Definitely elastic.

Prudie

If we don't like or agree with the rules we can leave .!!

MarkRae wasn't a Mod.
He got suspended a couple of times...

Jackdaw33

If you're thinking of the same person as I am, then I don't think he was a mod. He was very sarcastic and self-opinionated though.

Prudie

^ that's what I remember and he was often harsh (by today's standards) so was surprised. Clever bloke actually.

Jackdaw33

I wasn't going to name names but JTH has no compulsions in doing so.

Sqad

Asquith...thank you for your input.
It is not that one doesn't like or agree with the rules, it is the interpretation of these rules that are often a cause for concern.

Having shown a few people how to use the internet, its my experience that a few folk are nervous about using search engines as they are afraid they may click on a dodgy site. Hence, they tend only to use sites they are familiar with. To be told to google it rather than try and answer makes them feel inadequate. Not every one has been using technology for years. I'm sure you meant no offence Mexican.
