I have locked 35+ threads, not one of them has been disputed
I have moved 29 threads, not one of them has been disputed
I have split 9 threads, not one of them has been disputed
I have banned 6 people, 1 of them has been disputed and overturned, the other 5 have stayed
I have deleted countless duplicate posts and spam posts, to give a rough estimate I'd say it's easily up above 50.
There's alot of other things I could go into (i.e sorting out the guy who made 9 threads all over the forum advertising his forum, getting rid of the guy ruining Filip's rap patch thread when Andrew and Andreas had previously been unable to, numerous IP checks and subsequent investigating to catch duplicate accounts, deleting polls/posts etc in peoples dynasties, the LankyMan fiasco etc etc) and you make this thread based on a few insults?

Spamming is against the rules. Most of the ones I listed there were either smiley posts, or things like "I agree". It's got everything to do with this, if you're going to try and make us look bad by bringing up some random threads, maybe you should try following the rules somewhat first.

That's only what you consider to be spammed, not nesecarry what the Andrew or anyone else consider to be spammed, and even if it was spam it's still not an excuse.
But the most important thing is what you missed: you're still calling people assholes. Is that what you're calling "set an good example"?

An excuse for what?

So right now, I'm clearly and publically acknowledging that there's concern about the moderating. Now I'd like to hear some specific complaints/points of concern and suggestions rather than "this site is fucked", "the mods are fucked", "the admin is fucked" and "the choice of mods is fucked". Let's be civil about this, that's all I ask.
There's going to be some give and take on both sides. Everyone's going to have to hear each other out in a calm and civil manner. I will take action if necessary, but I think we should talk about this and get everything straightened out before I take any action against anyone for whatever. The full story, everyone's side of the story, before the final decision. I can't make it much fairer than that.
So with that in mind, let's have it. I don't enjoy coming home to this, but something needs to be done and I'd like a resolution, one that satisfies everyone. If everyone could help me out on that, it would be much appreciated

good to hear this andrew. but how come we hear weavers side when he is knocked out before the bout? give him a day to come here and state his point. that IMO is the best out there to end this rucuss. he and jackal could talk out in the open so many can also set aside our differences
