this is football.some team/player follow the fair-play rules and some other not...
it also happen with the fans...

dont blame the moderator for all this.they just done thier job well over the years.or maybe we can vote u to be a next Football Lounge moderator...

It is not totally depends on maturity to decide whether the flame war start or not.Some people tend to love the club they support more than normal people.That's why they were crying when their clubs were defeated..It is solely depends on forumer whether they want to respect others or carry on with their arrogant attitude of not respecting others.

Oh yeah? I doubt that. Screwing Liverpool's thread considered doing a great job?

I was a mod in Football Lounge before. But because 2-3 forumes against my appointment, with free mind I offer to step down as my intention is to serve everybody (it does not mean to please everyone). If I can't serve everyone and be fair, why should I become a mod?

I don't get it.Are you asking alien2003 to step down?I mean prelude23 was talking about recent case in Liv thread..not the past...

I know whatt prelude23 means (and yours too). Who am I to ask him to step down?

And this is the behaviour of a poster with a VIP tag? i'm speechless.....

Stop using newbie account to post around pls?I mean what you are doing now is against R&R as you are duplicating and registered 2nd accounts..Mod, pls do something?

Well, there's no need to go so far till step down as mod you know? A simple explanation and words of apology to the Liverpool forumers will definitely clear things up but as a mod, he fail to do it. Instead, its Whacker who in the first place had nothing to do with the case came out and said that was a misunderstanding. LOL

actually, what happen?

as far as i know

1) a post by someone in the pool thread got flagged for warning by the mod in question
2) but the staff mistakenly banned the person instead of just warning
3) then when the rest of pool fans found out he got banned, they started to show their anger
4) after much discussion and flame wars, another mod came in and said it was a mistake by staff that mistakenly ban instead of warn..

is this correct?

If I was wrong, please let me know what it is? And if I offended anybody, it's beyond my control as it's only my personal opinion. And I don't think Lowyat.Net prohibited any forumers from giving their personal opinion. I am always thinking myself as a regular forumer like others any always trying my best to make a posting within the rules . If admin thinks that I shouldn't be a VIP, they can always take it back. No harm and no heart feeling to me.


Yes, I 2nd that. Mod's job is not easy and we should be thankful to them for being a volunteer. But, as a human being, we all make mistakes. And, when we did it, no harm if we accept it and make an apology.

Not too sure...but i think is around like that.....but what Bepha and prelude meant is they are not happy for the mistake made by moderator and they din apologize...I think thats what they meant.

5) No apology or whatsoever by the mods to the Liverpool's fans which left many of us in disgust.

It is to my knowledge that alien2003 has apologized and can't we just let it die? Don't see a point in headhunting him unless you have a better candidate as a moderator? I personally would like verx (someone who's BPL neutral) to take up a post and seeing by the way he posts, I am sure we'd get more leeway with the use of profanities. But that is not by any means saying that alien is not doing a good job.

why should the mod apologize for something he didnt do .. ? he just reported the post ... he did not do any banning or warning .. it is up to the staff to do it ...

if what u say they angry abt (the mod never apologize) is true,
from what the LYN system is, its not moderator fault, its staff who mistakenly ban instead of warn..

LYN Mods cant take action, they only flag/identify posts/things that need action to be taken against.. the staff is the one that lays down the punishment..

I think they guys in the pool thread got a little carried away, the mod in question didnt make the mistake, its some1 from the staff.

if they think they feel that the mod was bias in flagging people in the pool thread rather than united thread, calm down and think straight guys.. how sure are u that he never flagged posts in united thread? u cant see this, oni staff/admin can see this..
im sure the mod in question has flagged thousands of posts all over the Football Lounge since its his duty, it just so happens that this time around a liverpool fan's posts got flagged and a mistake by the staff got him banned. ( i believe this has been reversed )

for those who say got united supporters who got away with the Vulgarism, well, how sure are u that the person hasnt been warned?
so please, calm down, think properly before u say anything coz there are people out there just waiting for a reason to start a whole new flame war.

so undilah WHOOPA hahahaha

haha will do bro will do...
maybe we need one moderator each club...

Well, eventhough he did not do the bannings but it was a mistake to ban Jonno. He played a part there and he should come out to apologize as well. Come on, even TheWhacker apologized. I'm not headhunting alien but I just hope he could serve well and bring back the Liverpool community.

I second that!!

I'd like to vote whoopa too
