I regret that I accidentally deleted 3 to 4 threads when removing spam. I apologise to those posters on those threads.

You are exercising it by asking that question.

An interesting choice of word..........."sanctemonious".

From Webster's dictionary > hypocritcally pious or devout

Where is the hypocracy, piousness or devotion?

Thanks master. I removed them.

In other forums the posting frequency is much higher, with some members posting dozens of times per day. I accept though that if someone only posted once a week that banning them for 24 hours would be ...

I think the nature of the role ( not job ) is such that it's impractical to have anyone do it as an actual job. Essentially it would involve sitting at a computer all reading all day and deleting pos ...

Glasgow is already a Gumtree City, but unlike Edinburgh, we don't have our own Gumtree Forum. I think we should have one.

The issue is not responses nor that people object to references to their family members, but rather, abuse directed towards them.

There's no rule against mentioning another member's family or family members, but there are rules about flaming and abuse. I simply take the view as a mod that someome's family ( presuming they are no ...

I already explained that I check for any posts made ( during my absence ) when I come back.

I can see if they are online on GT at the time of issuing a ban, but if they're not, the chances are th ...

In my experience they've been effective. I don't have to be online for 24 hours to monitor the ban. I'm on here several times a day, and I check to see that no-one has posted during such a ban, if th ...

I'm locking this thread New Howards. I consider it offensive. Don't post a similar one.

Nodignity. You have been warned about such comments. If I see another post from you on any subject, or even ...

Nodignity, there is no new 24 hour ban rule. As mod I have some discretion in how I deal with breaches of the posting rules and how I deal with those who submit such posts. In your case I felt it was ...

You can also buy cheap designer frames on Ebay.

One of the reasons why I wouldn't use an online optician/service to make-up my new specs is partly for the reason you mention, about measurements. ...

These proceedures have been adopted as a result of thousands of rehomed animals being brought back by the new owners and giving reasons such as, the dog barks too much, the cat scratches my furniture, ...

Hehe!

Seriously, I don't know what criterion GT uses in deciding these matters. It could be based on population, or even demand. I dare say ecnomics might come into it too as each city has it's own classifi ...

Limerick was once on the list
but removed and never was missed
so if you want it brought back
for some blarney and craic

Boom boom.

A PM/private message feature would be useful, for all members, but it would particularly benefit mods. Many message board forums have this feature.

You fail to grasp the point here. The challenge was to play the scammer along to make them believe I was a genuine buyer and to tease-out as much information from from them as possible, and to keep t ...

HollyMolly, I've posted many times on the subject of Pet Scammers, both before and after becoming a Mod. Before I became a Mod I exposed one Cameroonian pet scammer, by posing a prospective buyer. I ...

How can someone who only joined this site today write that someone else's posts are monotonous?

I don't think you could have read many of my posts, and I don't think you understand or appreciate ...

I'd say it was a genuine ad from someone who sincerely wants a good home for his dog. It upsets me though that people buy a dog and get rid of it when a baby is expected. People should consider this ...

Around 50,000 dogs are lost or stolen in the UK every year. The law is quite complex on this. Dog theft is not always recorded as a crime by police, not unless one has positive proof of the theft, e. ...
