flaming, otherwise inappropriate or hurtful language, harassment, grammar
policing. This also applies to

2. Private messages, along with other private correspondence, are not to be posted on the open forum. If someone is concerned about the content of a PM that they receive, they should report it to the moderators who will consider what action is to be taken. 3. Don't engage in dialogue with a troll or a spammer. Report them to the moderators 4.Moderators' and the administrator's decisions are final. If you are in doubt about a post, please contact a moderator before you submit your post. Moderators reserve the right to delete any questionable posts and/or suspend members. ------------- It takes a wise man a lifetime to grow a tree and a fool five minutes to kill one. |

Hopefully you won't object to "for Pete's sake". One of my favourite sayings when things go wrong. The family all reckon cousin Pete must be the worst person alive! 90% is all negativity toward others occurs in Joffs/General so if anyone does happen to complain furious, it'll be thrown it out as a 'frivolous protest - dismissed'
 Those erring, know exactly what I'm referring to when I repost the OP  |

My heart bleeds for you blokes. Well possibly. Though in truth not for a milli-second. Any more such posts and you're dead set out of the TBV XI for Adelaide: we don't need any self-supposed "victims" in the team.

There are also a number of Premium members can edit stuff for you if you are nice to them. I am not a Premium member so cant edit. You know who they are, when they edit something it says ''edited by''

HarnessGuru - Euripedes is the Mayor, & Jayzaa was a lady stud master of a small stud here in Vic. Probably given Premium status for great contribution back in the day. ------------- https://skiboots.wixsite.com/cats |

| Suggest moderators put a stop to these entirely unhelpful exchanges, which from at least one member appears little more than an excuse to continue his history of personally if irrelevantly directed posts. |

Please explain what the exchange between Plastics and PT will in any way whatsoever assist in relation to Member Rules per se and those authorised to either edit posts or respond to queries.  Come on, anyone???? |

You really don’t get it?😆 Ok, the fact is that a former moderator still has the ability to see what only moderators can. I’m sure that’s ok with you though😜

Ok I'll bite. It does seem occasionally that some members who are not mods are allowed to get away with regularly (monotonously) breaking the rules stated in red above, while also having inside information that only mods should have. Hence the exchange. I'm all for it. 
The only 'inside info' that mods have is seeing hidden posts that another mod has attended to.

An unproven assertion one would have thought. However be that as it may, if your nose is so out of joint on such an alleged issue cordially invite you to let your feet do the talking.

Posted By: stayer
Date Posted: 12 Dec 2025 at 6:52pm
| So Horlicks, is it ok if this thread can include discussion from members re the way the rules above are interpreted and implemented? Pain the arze for the mods, understandably, but I think it's fair that members have a voice? |
Posted By: stayer
Date Posted: 12 Dec 2025 at 6:55pm
| Maybe the Mayor could post his thoughts about it? |

Date Posted: 12 Dec 2025 at 7:06pm

I’d luv to hear from the Mayor. It seems, under that moniker, he never posts. |

Date Posted: 12 Dec 2025 at 7:11pm
| There's a whole website he runs outside of people talking crap about Trump and mushrooms and politics in some corner. |

Date Posted: 12 Dec 2025 at 7:27pm
| So I'm none the wiser about there being more rules than posted already ITT |

Imagine if we all abided by Rule 3 and reported trolls. Mods would probably want to remove the report button

There should only be one rule. DON’T BE A D!CK In that scenario I think any forum here would be a good read.

I think that would have PT banned, FF.

He does seem to walk the trapeze occasionally but from where I’m looking never seems likely to fall off.

You would be describing me right there Plastic letters, and occasionally I step in and USE those functions too. Sorry if that bothers you, but I've been around here a long, long time (not as long as some I might add), and I doubt either the Mayor or I intend to change things on my status anytime soon. ------------- https://skiboots.wixsite.com/cats |

Anyway as Horlicks already requested - that is the end of Mod roles discussion here.

Certainly not directed at you. I’m not aware of you operating like that and using the information for personal gain/benefit In saying that, thanks for being honest and confirming I’m right in what I have said 2nds immediately put his fingers in his ears

I wonder why so many staff and no articles posted on the home page for a month Too busy moderating to post racing news😆 Staff? The Mayor owns & pays for the site, collecting tiny contributions from advertisers.
The UNPAID Mods consist of myself, horlicks & VSP. There are plenty of other groups & forums to contribute to if this one doesn't suit. If you DO enjoy these forums, a lot less whinging wouldn't go astray |

Which part of NO MORE MOD discussion did you guys not get? The next person/s to post on the matter get a little spell until next year. You can call it abuse of power or anything you like but it's happening! Don't go there any further - end of discussion. ------------- https://skiboots.wixsite.com/cats |
