The way the mods run this site determines the overall atmosphere on this site. The atmosphere is a long term deal, as certainly problems arise from time to time. Overall I like this site which is why I have stayed on. This is largely down to the way the mods run the site. Ideally the people that didn't like the Nutter should have simply ignored him. Over time he would have changed or simply moved on because it was clear from his posts he was looking for reactions. People didn't ignore though so the mods made a decision they deemed best for the site. Now it is up to Nut.

If his 'one trick' was to slag off Megson, he'd still be posting

But, I don't think it's fair to publicly question the modding

If folk don't like modding policy, there's other sites
I was just asking what the difference is between 8000+ posters being abusive and then Sir Nut being annoying.. Other than being 'liked'

I think perhaps if your face fits then a blind eye is turned, whereas if it doesn't then it isn't.

you also asked if you needed to go on - the answer was "no" - it still is.

the mods have made a decision - this forum is not a democracy - it generally runs quite well because the mods act in the interests of the forum as a whole.

Theres the money shot for you Nut.

This is true, though I suspect that were it a democracy the outcome would have been similar.

If it ever graduates to anarchy it'll probably close down. Sir Nut got a ban (half over now) not a life sentence in jail.
