This forum has a severe problem of 'power drunk' moderators. They seem intent on channeling every topic into a direction they are comfortable with, instead of letting free speech take its natural course.

This is probably an over compensation for their lack of power/control at home or in the workplace. I have witnessed this quite often throughout my journey in the corporate world, and let me tell you, these people get found out, and their career plateaus.

All I wanted to do was to wish every cricket community that is represented on this forum a Merry Christmas, and I found myself under attack from a moderator that will remain nameless.

Has anyone else encountered similar difficulties throughout their time on this forum??

My avatar got removed 4 times because if someone had it on their computer at work they may get in trouble. Full credit though on the 4th occasion it was removed they finally sent a pm to me.

My avatar has gone too

Maybe they were offensive?

I broke no rules.

Moderating is much better than it used to be when there was 50 moderators.

Also helps when moderators understand the difference between taking the piss and trolling. Some moderators were a bit precious.

Blacky had a similar avatar to you Dogmatic a couple if years ago and it was also not allowed. There has to be some sort of limit to avatars on a public forum

Simple rule with avatars is would you like it to be on your work PC if your boss walked past?

"I don't know why but usually if someone goes through and dumps a piece of irrelevant crap on every thread it gets removed. You've never even posted on this thread so I don't think it was going touch the hearts of too many.
You are probably better off grabbing your vegemite sandwich and sticking to your beloved ATCA thread, unless you have any PDCA discussion.

-Lightning Mcqueen, moderator.


It would have been much appreciated to have had a Private Message from the moderators as to why my posts where taken off, instead of being publicly ridiculed. This to me once again has an unprofessional stench to it.

And by the looks of it, by the stong response, many others have had problems with the strangulation of the forums,

But it is good to see moderators on here answering queries, a small step in the right direction.
