It is my view that 'we' the community are upset about how threads DISCUSSING the incident have been locked or removced so we are unable to DISCUSS the incident.

And that isn't going to be helped when, in addition, a non-offensive post by Bluecat, another long-term respected member and contributer, is locked, simply because it asked where another post went.

"do I trust the mods/admin folk on HoP?".
Written by georgemc
Sometimes each of us makes mistakes - we are only human after all, but there are a number of mods on HoP for the reason that one single person may make a mistake but the others will help straighten out any mistakes so that overall, in general, things are fine.

It seems that the closure of the thread was the higher ups saying 'we dont want you talking about this anymore' and we are expected to just agree with the decision.
As Dave put it we are a community, communities talk when things change.

NYC got banned.. who cares, he did wrong... MCP is a stirrer... who cares again?.. do you need so much Drama in your life?.
Do you really give a damn?...
Of course it will be a world against Pele if the rest of the Mods and Admins do not step up publicly... isn't that why you all give her such a hard time because she is the only one that steps up and tells you how it is?...
This forum is pathetic in so many ways.
And this is why I don't bother any more.

Somebody said something about pm's...
Did the offences happen in PM format? And if so is that really a reason for banning? I thought things that happen in private should remain there, and in the final analysis, you can block somebody. But well, since we don't know anything about what happened... what can we think? Apart from what the mods tell us to think.Written by
Yes, if somebody does some thing in a pm that is continually inappropriate then they should be banned. It is misusing Hop resources and tools that should not be used for those purposes and it is stated in the rules.
Saying that somebody should not get in trouble because it happened in a private message is like saying that I should not get fired if I send inappropriate emails to people in my office.I {Heart} hand me downs and spinning in the snow.<br /><br />

I, for one, wish this would stop.
Have you ever done something you aren't proud of? Would you appreciate it if someone put your shortcomings and transgressions up for the world to judge?
.........................That's why the mods aren't going to let details fly about this, either. The fact of the matter was that he must have exhibited behavior severe enough to make a bunch of people who I trust and appreciate feel unsafe enough him to take such a drastic action. This decision must have cost several of the mods many, many nights of sleep. NYC was a trusted, respected member of the board.

No-ones demanding that the mods disclose any kind of personal details about it.
Some of us are clearly concerned primarily by the locking or removal of threads that contain no problematic posts and the fact that there seemed to be some kind of attempt to enforce a hushing-up of the entire matter.

The fact that we're not saying anything bad about him has nothing to do with it. He is entitled to privacy regardless of content of the information that people want.

I don't think this is the place to be discussing if Pele should be a mod, I think that would be a fast way to get this thread locked/deleted so lets not go there.
If people have any issues with mod's take it up with them or the big boss, via PM it would seem

OWD - did you read MCP's post?
But that aside, I understand the rationale behind thinking that thread locking = hush it up. But that wasn't the intent. As I said, it was felt that a one sided discussion wasn't going to be a useful discussion.

But, as all these posts would suggest, something ain't right. There's a general tide of unhappiness about this whole business.
Pele's been a mod for ages, and her "unpopularity" has maybe mirrored this, but this is a community - and if it's meant to be a fair community, wouldn't it be fair to have moderators accepted/respected by the masses?
