This isn't a suck up or brown nosing blog - criticism when and where it's due.....
I just wanted to give shout out to Super and congratulate him on this site's moderation of late.
Mate, you've proved me wrong. The moderation on this site has improved out of sight since you've taken over. Phil would be proud.
Just wanted to thank you for allowing the current discourse and debates to continue. The place is regaining its mojo and fast becoming the site we all previously loved. I haven't had a suspension since early last year so youve lighten the grip.
Well done Super, keep it up mate.

Yeah he lets you and I smash it out a little longer now, which has its moments
He's right you know.
Basically this site moderates itself when the side is going well. So I'm not taking credit for that, everyone here has kept it fairly civil since the season returned and made it easy for me. I'm always fine with some passion surrounding team performances and differing opinions there. It's why the site exists.
Only one member has been suspended this season. That is Bert who is having a couple of days in the sin bin after an uncalled personal attack. He's back on Thursday for game day.
Also, on the analytics front because I know some people are curious. Each week visits and member numbers are going up. Match days see the most interaction with up to 4,000 individual visitors dropping in. Interestingly we see the most number of members on immediately following full time, not during the game.
And the most visited page on the site? Blogs. Apparently y'all like scrolling through a list of blogs most of the time.
Well you've made a good point Fong - yes where is Wiz and why isn't he posting??
As for BLM I think you're right - it would disappear quicker than Poppa can say Nursee Nursee...
Wiz is not suspended and he still has an account. So his not posting is a personal decision for him.
So those social blogs themselves are fairly unpopular with users according to the analytics. At their peak they may garner 600-800 views in a day, compared to the 1,500-2,000 views a football blog would get on the same day. Those social blogs have negatively impacted the reputation of the site outside of this community. I intend to continue growing the site. In other words those blogs cost the site more trouble than they're worth. They cause rifts and divisions among members. In fact I'd estimate that 85% of suspensions I've handed out across my time as a moderator have been as a result of those blogs.
Given we are mid season you'll also recall that social blogs generally aren't allowed during season anyway.
Super, I'm just checking if you're expecting facts (even statistical ones) to sway the fans of fhe blogs that run for the far right wing hills?
Kudos for your never ending optimism!
Still, it's interesting to know that those who blather about how the site would die without a forum to sling hate and crap, are actually at odds with viewing data!
Fong, the obvious rebuke to to say there is a Roosters forum if you're desperate for company or just don't like it here.
Another reply is more of an appeal. All of us have our preferences and all of us deal with situations where things are not perfectly as we would like. Most of us accommodate and move on. The simple fact is that the bulk of your contribution to the site consists of insulting people. Honestly, that's what I see. And I'm not alone. That schtick can only go so far. As for political stuff, good for you for being on the political right. But stuff that is so partisan that the opponent has to be a devil is just naturally so divisive as to be war not chat. You may have some golden era of the site in mind where all was roses, but many experience what you're pining for as a clique of malcontents just being nasty. I'm not sure you've stepped outside your own zone to reflect on the general experience.
Of course I am one on here who returns fire, but I will say this: I lost confidence a while back that you had any reasonableness in you. It's no coincidence that while Snake and I trade barbs, many in fact, there are also times where we agree or just simply realize it's all jokes in the end. You're not in that category. I don't think the site as you want it is a good place and maybe think of others a little?
Well that hit the mark Daz
Archie, how did you manage to revive this blog? I see it's from July 2020. It's interesting to see particular individuals who lately cry foul about moderation were big supporters of that same moderation a year ago
Go and dob to Super.
Wow, a name change. Most people have better things to do? I hear that bigots and bullies lose their shorts when they are confronted and start whining about persecution. Have you heard that too?
