NuBeginnings Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 This has been bugging me for a while so I shall vent my frustration.First post.When we first moved to France I joined Total France. I wrote a long post on moving to France why we moved to France and what we were intending to do.Second post was the trials and tribulations of opening a new business in France.Third post out lining the works to restore the building and other drivel !Most of my post were tampered with by the over zealous moderators moderators, I was not spamming nor was a trying to advertise simply relaying what it was like to move to France.I have been with this forum well over a year never an issue and enjoy contributing ;-)So thank you completefrance !

JSKS Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Mind you, there are several psychos, nutters, idiots and general ne'er-do-wells on TF along with a hard-core of poltical ''experts'' who never fail to turn even the most inoccuous thread into a class war.Much nicer on here!

Bugsy Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 If you want to experience real mindless moderating there is another forum that you should try.I cannot mention the name as discussing other forums is taboo, suffice to say that Artificial Intelligence is a clue.

NormanH Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 I was banned from the French petrol site because I commented that a user name which combines 'horn' and 'porn' was injudicious and might lead to ribaldry[6] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Google searches with a french computer will often throw up results relating to Quebec or Belgium. Tears of mirth in reply to a question ostensibly about winter shelter for a vehicule; the reply quoted the rules for a place called Laval. But his Laval was situated on the south side of the St Laurence river. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gardian Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Well, some of you needed to have been around 5 yrs or so ago! ('Suein56' clearly was, so she'll remember).At times there was open warfare on here, which whilst it occasionally made for entertaining reading, it was difficult not to get 'sucked in' to some of the more contentious debates. Very time consuming - and that was just for me, let alone those who were at it hammer & tongs all the time! Don't know how they found the time.Classic threads: the Pierre-Yves Saga, the Romanian Trampoulinist(e), and that Troll (?) who was seeking the woman he met on Minehead Pier (or was it Ilfracombe?)

Patf Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 I remember those days - always a bit of drama. The layout of the threads was such that you could reply direct to a post (not quoting), and your post would appear just after it. So you could have several arguments going on within one thread.But I don't envy the moderators their job in the other place, or here for that matter. I wouldn't do it if you paid me. Not that I could as I don't understand the technical side.I think one of the reasons for tightening up has been that there have been court cases about libel on the internet.

woolybanana Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Which is probably why the Chatterbox section has gone behind bars.I think that TF is now very over-moderated, compared to our own little bit heaven where the mods keep a light hand on the tiller!
