A thankless task at best. Since it went a bit sideways on a day when I was not posting because I was busy, do I assume that the mods would prefer I posted on controversial things much more often to avoid it going wrong again? Reply to this message | Report message

>> Lucky you, these days I mostly just verbally thank SWMBO if the meal was good!! :-) For a minute there I thought you had replied in the wrong thread. Then the penny dropped. I blame it on lack of sleep. I don't get many zzzz's as it is, but for some reason last night I got even fewer zzzz's. Not helped by the neighbour's dog also waking me up at 5am! Which reminds me, I must discover a way to make his dogs bark before I go to bed and see how he likes it ;) Reply to this message | Report message

I thought that too but then I fell in! I have the same trouble with phone calls in, what is other people's evening, but after our bedtime. Even though they know our start times they still ring at around 7.30pm and I always tell them I can't talk now but will call them back in the morning. I only have to call back at 01.30 once and they never do it again:) Pat Last edited by: Pat on Fri 9 Nov 18 at 16:12 Reply to this message | Report message

To quieten the dogs do what a few of the thieving scroats have begun doing in my part of the world...according to my police contacts. When stealing quads and other farm machinery, they liberally lace meat with drugs, use a catapult to get the food into the farmyard where the dogs are, then once incapacitated carry on with the thieving.

>> That's a step too far for moderators Quite. The grumpy git next door has already accused me of poisoning and killing his last dog. Poisoning him on the other hand might not be such a bad idea ;) Reply to this message | Report message

Well done mods. Sometimes tough actions are required to deliver a strong message. Please keep up the good work. I visit C4Play to have some fun and forget stress in real life.

When you think about it friendship with someone you dont know and who posts under an alias is a pretty doubtful concept. I think we're perhaps being a little hypocritical if we pretend we don't enjoy the occasional spat between members. The number of posts always rises significantly when the usual suspects get going. Bit like the crowd around a pub fight I suppose. Reply to this message | Report message

>> The number of posts always rises significantly when the usual suspects >> get going. Bit like the crowd around a pub fight I suppose. >> I've always likened a good forum to a noisy pub, and the participants to actors in a soap opera. No one is real - everyone is playing a part, having selected the character they would like to be. So I've never taken spats and flounces seriously - people are just following the script - my character is going to be provocative now, or throw a tantrum, or be rude about X or Y. It's a bit like MPs in the Commons, except that we can't be buddies afterwards because we don't exist. Reply to this message | Report message

I think you are right. Just like a soap a forum needs baddies, characters we love to hate. It needs to be a bit of a melodrama or otherwise it’s likely to descend into a discussion on Yorkshire puddings. Reply to this message | Report message

I assume that it was to do with the Brexit thread. I became so fed up with the sniping I gave up reading it at around Page 50. However the three that I most suspected are still here but I am sure that we will suss out who has gone fairly soon....not that many left to choose from . Reply to this message | Report message

Bathtub Tom (and anyone else) Firstly can I say there has been no data breach of our system. The email that has been sent to you, and some other forum members has come from rtj70. All I can guess is that he has had some previous correspondence with you, for him to have your details, or your details are visible in your profile settings. rtj70 is no longer an active member of this forum, as of last Thursday evening. I won't bore you with all the details, other than to say that he wanted to return tonight with a new username to post what he has subsequently emailed some of you. At 21:04 Sunday evening, he emailed the moderators asking permission to post it. At 21:33 he emailed us again saying "I’ll just email the members then" It would seem he couldn't wait longer than 29 minutes for one of us to reply to him. I for one am not attached to my phone or pc 24/7, and neither are the other 2 moderators. We do have lives away from here. I'll end by saying that we accept no responsibility for any emails that he, or anyone else sends to you. We would only ever pass on your details following your permission.

I've had one too but my email address is in my profile and open to anyone. He has emailed me in the past and this last one has been filed where the others are....in the deleted items folder. The only thing I would like to echo from the email is that >>I hope Movilogo is not offended<< and hope we see him around soon. Pat Reply to this message | Report message

I have received same email from armtice address. But I received in an address which is not registered to C4P but to HJ site! IIRC, the banned member was a moderator in HJ site. So he must have kept a copy of all members emails from there. This is professional misconduct and breach of trust. Reply to this message | Report message
