How can someone who threatened a forum member with violence (that was reported) now be made up to a moderator????


Unbelievable.

If your phone rings while I am playing with you, your work will be interrupted while you get rushed to hospital to have my sand wedge removed."

How can you interpret that as anything other than Ethan showing his opinion about mobile phones
Of course he isn't going to attack him with his sand wedge , it's just a turn of phrase ,

This was discussed at the time by the mods and it was decided that there was no case to answer

Now lets start afresh

Just curious.

Your right Dodger splashback can be rather embarrassing!

Clear threat of violence. Where's the doubt?

Fragger, best to start fresh but if mods and members do not learn what's created all this then it's in vain.

For me it needs a bit of transparency from the mods, ie editing and leaving posts rather than deleting them. Chris suggested you guys would look at it and I hope you do decide to go with it.

I like most have no issues with any of the rules,,if they need enforcing do it but at least tell people why.
 
I intend to be both transparant and consistant, thats why i posted the actual content of the post Craw was referring to and also the decision making process that happened, a decision I feel was correct.

What needs to happen now is to draw a line under all that has happened before, we have a new set of rules, & some new mods who are finding their feet , Yes, We will tell you if you do something wrong, and explain what it was and why we cannot allow it.

We need your help to improve the forum and the recent Mod Bashing is unhelpful,

Thankyou for your messages of support, lets talk about Golf

I wish you well however in my opinion the credibility of this place has now gone.

Its also clear now why the contents of the lurkers thread were removed.
 
Another load of nonsense - I'd just clear this thread.

Come on Craw you're clutching at straws with this one, there is no way a "real" threat of violence was made and I know we all read posts in our own way but your no shrinking violet when it comes to wording a post.
 
Craw, that post is not a threat of violence. Just a turn of phrase.

I suggest you chill out a bit and move on. Your supporting cast too.
 
Only been on the forum a couple of months. Has it always been this pathetic? I thought this was a group of mainly grown men (and women) that would talk about all things golf. Just seems like a playground argument. Takes me back to my primary school days.

Whilst we are on the subject of questions, I've got a brilliant one to ask.
It won't be abusive, I won't mention names (well, one name but that wouldn't hurt).....it won't be threatening.
But I think I have a valid point.
Will I be able to post it if it doesn't break any forum rules regarding threatening/abusive/racial language without it being pulled?????

I'd say if in doubt PM a mod for advice
