Or...we could just wait to see whether there will be acceptance of Andy as a new moderator. Ramondo was excellent but seems to have long gone. Bloomer makes sense but has conceded he has other commitments. Can't even remember who the other/s was/were and Rats seems either too stubborn or out of his depth.
If there is no accession to the request for another additional mod - and Andy seems to tick all the boxes - then maybe Romanis' more drastic action may become necessary but let's wait for Rat's reply first.
Ignoring hasn't worked and appears unlikely to, but this whole mess could still be sorted with the appointment of the right person as mod and the correct advice or sanction put in place for those who seek to ruin the forum.
Still love some evidence of those new to the forum who have been forced away by this alleged 'clique'...unless it is, as was maybe hinted at earlier, R4J and DCFCA who are really Rats in disguise.
