Is the moderator fair?

You can vote on a mobile if you just select desktop site. It'll be at the top of the page.

Love how the vote percentage adds up to over 120%

I call fix Swale

Darn! Got me bang to rights. And if it wasn't for those meddling percentages I'd have gotten away with it too!

Personally I think you should ignore the electorates that are this board, ignore any thread that might have a hint of a question in it and go hide In a fridge untill the votes have been cast.
Not strict enough although that might now have been remedied.

Jampie said he had cast two votes, so I think the percentages are skewed by being allowed to vote for more than one option. I haven't voted, but it allows me to tick all 5 options.

I voted 1 and 4 but Swale please don't take it as criticism. I appreciate that you (somehow?) have the patience to moderate the board. I certainly wouldn't/couldn't do it so if you want to be lenient and give a million warnings, you do you.

There are some great posts here. You make some of them yourself and prevent the rest from being drowned out by zero-value bickering. Just saying, I really appreciate it and don't change a thing if you're not comfortable changing it.

Poll doesn’t show up for me.

I don’t agree with all your decisions, Swale, but I have no doubt that you do your best to be fair and impartial.

Can't see a vote option but Swale has always been fair in the 11 years I've been on here. I've been banned before but you need to take personal responsibility for your actions, they are yours and yours alone whatever provocation you receive. I think people should post what they want but if they go too fair or are ruining the board then Swale has no choice but to act.

[crazyfists]

Far.

Very well put.

I am new around here. I was a mod on a software forum for several years and I am quite active on a motorbike forum here in NZ. The motorbike forum seems somewhat similar in that some of the characters can have valuable input in to some of the on topic topics but seem to lose themselves when they go off topic and show some really negative traits that would result in a kicking if they had that attitude down at the Astoria. There seem to be a handful of those types on NCM.

The forum can be the problem by allowing or even encouraging off topic threads. While great to just chin wag with people they do tend to provide too many opportunities for those people to bring the same arguments in to a new thread and kill it. Options are to ban off topic threads which means we all lose out on banter that can amuse and be a godsend in these times or you just ban those particular users, three month ban first and then permanent. You are too soft on them and as had been said several times of late they are dragging this place down.

I have not voted to see if we can get the figure down to 100%. Isn't that how Boris got in?
