Jean is acting the idiot, not only hypocritically censoring what people say, but changing what people say by interpolating her own bloody stupid comments.
I cannot see this board lasting much longer if such stupidity persists.
Perhaps that is her aim?

Well, she is doing exactly the same as her protegée Little Green Gerda did when SHE was elevated to mod status and to the same victims - us! They're consistent, if nothing else - consistently hypocritical and self-righteous.
On the Beeb they can catpee and censor in secret. But not here, not without actually getting the board closed, that is. Maybe they have a "capture it or close it" strategy? I know the climate blog gets up their nose, even though they decry it as a backwater.
Jean will regret this revelation of what has previously been veiled via private messaging. I bet she already has! There will be no more links from HER directing her WoM fans to the Nutters thread - she has too much amour propre to publicise this faux pas abroad. That's her weakness. That and protecting the defenseless and helpless like, lil and spesh and Gerda - or “my gels”, as another monstrous pedagogue called them!
People who seek power to control others are always the last who should get it. Sermon over.

And who would you like to do the modding,Marchesa?
I think you've been asked in the past on various boards but always declined.

I don't think modding is necessary, actually, amongst adults, sin.
This board has managed well without it, since Gerda's demotion, until Jean revived EXACTLY the same tricks in defence of her own partiality.

And what is this high-heeled slipper etc that has appeared?
Is this Jean's introduction? I don't recall seeing it before. What a little bureaucrat she is, making it uber-easy to appeal to a putative board "authority" when you're miffed. Pathetic cakeboard mentality.

i certainly don't want to participate on a board that has biased moderation.
it's my feeling that our old board, the one that got nuked (most likely because underhand modding from earlier times was finally exposed for what it was, the same as we have witnessed on the WOM nutters thread - just before it got bombed into oblivion ) chugged along perfectly well. the mod we had when gerda got the sack was bets, who seemed a fair minded, non partisan, non interfering individual. i also think quantum , aka octopus, was not a puppet and did ok for us. until of course was verbally abused no end, by guess who, for not shutting Joe's mouth. sadly quantum felt the squeeze and banned him. sense was finally restored and Joe reinstated.
i really dont want to be feeling there is any control freakery, or ego driven meglomaniacs whose judgement i may feel is dubious, breathing down our neck. i have spotted both types on other boards. this board, until Jean, who can hardly be called non partisan, began to interfere, was thankfully free of censorship.
i've lived in countries were you have to keep it zipped so there is no way i'm going to hang around if there is threat of my mouth being forcefully shut.
threatening Marchesa's climate blog with oblivion was one step too far, afaic, let alone other examples we've witnessed recently on the WOM discussion. please , please dont tell me there are others here who feel that sort of behaviour is ok.

This board has managed well without it, since Gerda's demotion, until Jean revived EXACTLY the same tricks in defence of her own partiality. Well whether modding is necessary or not is another question,but every board has got at least one. Whoever sets the board up,the admin,had moderating powers. If I'm right then that is Bets. I'm sure you're right about modding.....in an ideal world. But this isn't an ideal world and we do need someone to watch out for any verbal tomfoolery that might lead to the board getting shut down. If Bets(?) can't spend time here and several of you don't want Jean doing the job I can see the life of the board being short. Is that what we want?

I'm pretty sure that heel thing has been here a long time. I don't know who stuck it there though. I much prefer the bongo playing native on the MCL.

Just a couple of points..... Bets isn't here and as board admin she should be,especially when there are disputes like this. Jean hasn't taken power....she's been given it. Take it from one who knows....only the board admin has the power to create moderators. Given that fact I think we can assume that Bets wanted Jean to do the job. I suggest that if there is so much unease with how Jean is doing the job then someone had better get in contact with Bets and see what her feelings are about the situation. Then may I further suggest that if you are successful in getting Jean ousted you give due consideration to which of you takes over should Bets wish to remain absent. If I remember my Irish history correctly.....absentee landlords are never a good idea.

I already contacted bets, she said sort it out yourselves. I contacted Goddess - no reply. So Jean has either taken advantage of a vacuum or else bets told her to get on with it!
I have no idea where the complain to a mod link came from. I'm not very observant but I think its new.

yes, marchesa, i think the 'report to mod' button is new but think it may have been introduced to all proboards recently.
i noticed the high heel a while ago and wondered why it was there.
it's a shame bets so carelessly left our back door open like that. i must admit i was concerned about it a while ago and voiced something to that effect.

Jean will regret this revelation of what has previously been veiled via private messaging. I'm only posting this as Jean's declared she's away now. Let's have a party! (MR, as I'm the only one who's been specifically accused of being in Jean's gang, and of being called to arms by her via PMs, I have to say that you're way off track. In our PM exchanges, she tries to interest me in Wayne Rooney's inner-thigh tattoo, and I her in Christopher Marlowe's. What could be more innocent?)

I have no idea where the complain to a mod link came from. I'm not very observant but I think its new. New indeed,Marchesa. The following,dated June 23rd,is from the Proboards admin site. (I always knew it would come in useful one day) Report to Moderator
We are happy to announce the release of our new fully featured Report to Moderator system. This new feature allows any registered user to report a post to moderators with ease and allows moderators to quickly take action on reports.
You’ll notice at the bottom right of all posts there is a new “Report to Mod” link which you can click to report the post. This gives you a quick and easy way to report any issue without needing to message a moderator. You will be prompted to enter a reason for your report, after which it will be submitted off for the forum moderators to handle.
All moderators will have a message display on their screen with any active reports for boards they moderate. They will be able to view all reports that need to be handled, discuss them with other moderators, and easily take action if needed. For instance, moderators can easily move threads, lock threads, delete posts, delete threads, warn members, or ban members.
