Gary Glitter Released

[lankeela]

after serving 8 of his 16 year sentence - do you think he could resurrect his music career? I still enjoy his records and would probably go to a gig if he did one locally. Or do you think he should be permanently outcast?

Phew, Zacs.. Appealing had me wondering about your mental health. ;-)
I’ll be cross if it’s closed. That is usually a decision made anonymously by a mod who doesn’t think we are adults.

//I pretty sure the topic has been well and truly ‘done’. //
And who are you to say when a topic has been done or not?
If ABers are still commentating on it, who the hell are you to moderate on wether or not it has been done?

[jno]

are they commenting on it or on each other?

[Barsel]

jno Lankeela asked a question and it seems only Andy agreed with her and this then turned into something where people were attacking Andy for his views.
He has his views, he's told us what they are and the majority don't agree so it turns into a nasty thread and is just going round and round in circles.

Gness // I’ll be cross if it’s closed. That is usually a decision made anonymously by a mod who doesn’t think we are adults.//

I am not such a Mod, but please (everyone) note -

16. The AnswerBank reserves the right to remove any post that does not relate to the topic being discussed... (that has not been done) -

& that nothing has been on topic since my previous post. Discussion about who is or isn't a Mod is not relevant to the subject under discussion.

[gness]

Barsel. From where I stand on this and what I went through which was awful I will attack anyone with the views of Andy til my dying day. He posts his views. I will comment on them.

[jno]

I agree, Barsel, but in the event no mod wants to close it down I'm suggesting a bloodless alternative...

[elliemay1]

Mod/Anon can you please go through the Jokes section and zap those which do not comply with Rule 10. I reported one tonight which was posted on Thursday and it is still there. Thank you

[gness]

Maybe the mods don't look at jokes, Ellie?

[jno]

elliemay, I don't think mods see reports, so it would have to wait till an Ed shows up.

[elliemay1]

But as you gness and jno have said it's probably the first section that under 18's will go to

[elliemay1]

Ok thanks jno

[gness]

Mods don’t have to see reports. They are on the site to monitor it. That must mean looking at as many posts as they can when they have logged in and when they see them in latest posts.
They should not be just removing posts from threads they are involved in because that’s all they see.

[ModAnon]

elliemay - despite doing what I've asked others not to do (by posting this), I've removed what I presume was the joke you meant (16 year old girl, older man etc?).

[jno]

mods are just ordinary ABers, gness, they don't go looking for trouble, at least I hope they don't, they just deal with anything they happen on. The Eds are the ones you want.

[Barsel]

Gness, I understand where you are coming from, but I also understand people have views that won't change whatever you say to them and we know that is what Andy is like, he won't change his mind so it's like flogging a dead horse. People start to get nasty and insulting and posts start to get removed. I don't think anything will change on this thread and although we are adults, some don't act like they are, and I don't mean you. x

[ModAnon]

Thank you jno, although the phrase "flogging a dead horse" has just sprung to mind.

[gness]

Jno, I know mods are ordinary folk and don’t go looking for trouble. But they are there to monitor the site. They should do so with impartiality. Some don’t.
