Wouldn't it actually be better of to have real moderators, who actually read and have the ability to understand the posts that are made so that the need to appeal the ludicrous moderation of posts unnecessary?

Hi Shane,
We wish you all the best after eBay.
You have heen helpfull to lots of the community and have done your best.
Unfortunately there are a lot of long time community members that over the years have been the backbone of the forum community who find the forums and particularly CS no longer attractive to visit.
We are treated like young children and can not even use words thay are printed in our local newspapers and are part of our everyday life. (remember that you have to be over 18 just to be able to join eBay)
Anyway I guess it is eBays bat and ball so I suppose they are allowed to make the rules even to the point that no one wants to play the game with them.
Anyway all the best for the future and enjoy life without eBay.
Cheers
Bob

does this mean the taggers thread wont be locked every month now???

another one bites the dust

'calming voice"

is everyone except me using skype or something???

Good Luck for the future Shane!

You helped me out with appeals a few times and didn't a few times but at least you were fair and took the time to actually read and explain.

There has to be a less stressful job than this one and I hope you have found it or at least find it.

Cheers, Michelle

Bye Shane and thanks for the help you have given.

It must have been a thankless job under preasure from above and trying to do the what you knew was right.

Good luck with what you do from here, it can only get better.

cheers from Oz-tralia mate
