Very well put, Lisa, I agree with you! It's great to be able to finally get these things out of our systems, isn't it? It got to the point where I didn't feel comfortable posting at much beyond the counting thread! So glad we aren't having to deal with that kind of problem, over here! Merry

About censorship on the pm.com : It exsist very much. I have seen lots of mine thread that I have been postin in the broadcast forum (article on Mike McCartneys''s sex case, was delet very quicky by Martin , and there is more articles that I have been posting delet, photos of little Bea, the links of theme, I did get warnings via pms by the mods with very ugly language on it. That makes you very sad. You can't post anything about that little girl anymore, (but for how long, I now ask????) There is a douoble standard because if you go and see teh Linda photo thread you can see lots of pictures of Paul and Linda and their kids, who are now all grown ups. So they don't needs protection. Protection for Bea I can understand, but for how long ???? |

I used to thoroughly enjoy your posts Fea. You gave us an awful lot of information over there. I found the mods on Paul's board to be very tunnel visioned & at times completely pathetic. They policed things they didn't need to but there was one memeber in particular who got away with sheer murder. many a time I have ranted at my comp over what she ( big clue ) used to post. |

I never had many run-ins with the mods there, but I do think they were quick to pull the trigger to keep the board "PC". I think they made some good decisions at times, but also made some incredibly poor decisions other times. It is good to see a board that won't get so bent out of shape over some things, but will still keep some semblance of respect here. Now, who knows Shannon's e-mail addy?? Get 'er over here now! Also, I hope some more of the PM.com righties (Beatnut, LCH, MikeMC, etc.) will eventually show up here.

I wish I knew how to contact Shannon, she was a victim of an unfair system over there! I believe she just gave up and voluntarily asked to have her membership removed, she got tired of fighting it all. But I miss her alot, she's a very intelligent and articulate lady. I'd love to see her join us! Merry |

I would also love to see LCH, suedobbins, Mark Baker (unless he's going as another name here) and of couse someone get Shannon back. I'd love to see some left out though, but we won't name names. |

There are some people who if I see them here, I will cringe. I don't want them here. One is probably the same person you are referring to, Sue.
Rolling eyes drive me wild. I would love to see Shannon, LCH and Beatnut here. Others, too, but some I can live without. There were some real bigots on that board who continually made racial or homophobic posts. They are on my computer before the mods edited them, so I know what they said. Those particular people should have had at least 20 warnings by now and been banned. But, no, it was Shannon who got banned. They can ban me if they'd like. I don't really care. I was only comfortable posting in games because anything else got my hands slapped. They kept saying you agreed to the rules when you joined, but the friends of the mods had one set of rules and the rest of us had another set of rules. |

One time the mods delete a thread where I posted an innocent :rolleyes: animated gif... And they gave my a warning because I put in my signature their red message they use to put at every message they edited: "Moderator edited" was??? Other time they gave me a warning because of a "backseat moderation" or something like that... But...I don't care! :lol: |

I know it's very difficult to keep the "riff-raff" out of any forum, but one good thing about Andy and Fiona's rules around here...trouble makers will not be tolerated, and I'm very happy about that!

I am of the belief that I am going to enjoy the people that are here that I am happy to see, as well as the lovely board Jeff has provided for us. Lets hope this place stays nice, friendly and civil without the bickering, backstabbing and gossip that sadly often occurs on the internet. Glad to see everyone! Have a great day!

Heartily agree with all that. This is a really nioce place to be at the moment. I rarely posted on Paul's board in the last 18 months because TBH I was a bit apprehensive to do it. I used to just cringe at some of it. I often wondered what Paul must have thought.

Par for the course! Let's stop beating about the bush here. If two or three people were given the disciplining they so richly deserve, then everythng else in TMT would bet tickety-boo. But because they never had the balls to pull a few pig-headed New Yorkers into line, it was allowed to spiral out of control for months and finaly wreck the forum altogether. What a pathetic joke! We don't have any moderation on the World Party board and everyone gets along just fine. Troublemakers and hotheads soon work out that they're not welcome and they don't come back. It's so easy when you don't make excuses for arseholes. |

Sarah is a good egg but that post was a prelude to a self-fulfilling prophecy. Rather than deal with the troublemakers the way they should have years ago, they want the board to bland out so that all the interesting people find somewhere else to go (kerching!) and then tell themselves that we were the troublemakers. Lauren, you're a great example. You got disciplined. Mikemc publically slandered me and NOTHING happened. Incompetence is the only word for it. |

Very true, Tony...I came to feel the same. Debating got out of hand when name-calling and insults came into play. Some people could get away with that, while the majority got called on the carpet for trying to defend themselves. I saw it time and time again! I was trying to interpret Sarah's message...is she saying they are going to "deal" with those that they feel were the worst over there? It took this long just for them to come to THAT decision? It should've been happening all along, what's the matter with those people? I wonder if I'm on their "Hit List"! :lol: You know, I got so sick and tired of feeling I had to prove myself when it was so illogical that after all that crap, I don't know if I even care to go back there. Let the oddballs have it all to themselves! We are being "punished" now...well I'm an adult, all of us are, and we don't need to be treated like we are children...! I figured that this is what they'd been up to...discussing our fate! I like it here much better, too! Merry

No the TMT section was where people could TALK to each other. Now it's just a f*cking restrictive piece of sh*t, IMHO. And I told one of the mods that (well not in those words). As someone said, F*ck them. If they're going to treat the members like dimwits go f*ck off. :angry: |

Well I for one will be happier to post on this board. It has a really good feel to it. I also feel that Andy & Fiona have gone to an awful lot of trouble to set this up & i would feel bad at just leaving them now. I don't believe I ever participated in the TMT part of Paul's board. TBH I was so disgusted at the way I & some others were traeted when we met Paul at the booksigning in December I didn't bother very much with it. TBH I felt afraid to post as I never knew what I was going to get back & whether I was going to be slapped over the head by the mods. Much nicer her & I for one will be staying. |

It's like slapping someone like Ted Bundy or Jeffrey Dahmer on the wrist and saying "Yes, OK, we realise that you killed X amount of people and ruined the lives of countless others, but we're just going to warn you and say don't do it again. Now off you go." Also, I feel like I was being watched. Paging Dr Freud...... |

Andy, I just ready your post in one of the threads and why would anyone want to be part of group that is such restrictive place? I sure won't go back there anytime soon, except to check my PMs. I'm sorry, this is the place to be. |

Yeah, not much to report Jayne. I'm thoroughly fed up with the Nazis who seem to control the Macca board - and by that I mean the Admin, not the Mods. I just posted some new Beatles Cartoons in my thread, enjoy! |

I just read Andy's post, but I don't see much of interest on pm.com. The interesting threads to me were in TMT. And, yes, the lunatics are definitely running the asylum from what I saw. I'm staying here where it's much more fun. Too bad the way Admin let things get out of hand led to this. They were given plenty of evidence of what was really going on and chose to ignore it. And I'm sure we are all being watching. |

Don't apologise if you're saying that this is the place to be - it's not a bad endorsement! For the benefit of everyone who hasn't read it, this is what I posted on the Macca board;
The intention of this message board isn't to poach everyone from the Macca board, but to provide an additional place to go where people are free to speak their minds about anything. They have a certain ethos at the official Paul McCartney forum which, it's obvious, a lot of people don't care for and, I hope, that's where 'Strawberry Fields' comes in... somewhere to cut loose and be amongst friends, comfortable that you're not going to be chastised for something you deem petty. What I don't want is for the people who run the Paul board to see myself, Fiona and all the people who come here as 'the enemy'. They do things their way, we do things ours. I'm still going to post at the Paul board occasionally about music & vegetarian issues and I hope to see SF members there too. I'll get off my soap box now.

Some of the people I see posting there a few minutes ago are the ones I don't ever want to see. I will go there to check PMs, to discuss a tour if there is one and that's about it. It appears to me the thread about the tabloid stories about Paul and Heather is gone. I am free at last and it feels so good. Thanks, Andy and Fiona. I'm sure I'm being watched. I'm not even going to post in the games threads there. I'm sure they will be glad I'm not posting, but that's fine with me. Until Admin figures out how to run a board, I don't have a reason to go there. |

Oh, and I thought you liked me.....I was just posting there!!!! I noticed on the seal hunt thread in Broadcast, it didn't take long for Newfie Maiden to seek Nellie Apple out for what looked like an attack in the offing. Tori, FemaleAnimal, and I caught it but I don't think we will see the end of that. I'm just surprised to see some people that I thought may have been banned, and some of you know whom I'm talking about that lead a charmed life there, still on. The very same people who I feel are responsible for the TMT forum closing. :angry: :angry: |

They are very quick to point out that they do not play favorites and act on the orders of admin and do everything by a prescribed set of rules and guidelines that aren`t supposed to favor anyone. It doesn`t take a rocket scientist to see that that is bunk. Admin doesn`t even take notice of things unless the mods call it to there attention and while they may all work as a team and share everything, they also share a lot of friends in common, many of which never seem to have the long arm of admin stretch out and slap them down. |

I think they need all new mods over there. A fresh start. That is the only hope for that board. Some are personal friends with members and they have favored them greatly. I have pointed out all kinds of racist comments and nothing happened except the posts got edited. Betsy, you're right. As long as you are friends with a mod, you have a free pass. Why didn't any of my friends ever become a mod? |

I don't think that works for everyone. I thought one of the mods was a friend of mine and I tried to talk to him about my problems in his mod guise, but even he never bothered to get back with me. So, I guess it goes even deeper, maybe you have to be a brown nose to get anywhere. I'm not that way....I try to be straight-forward and honest about things, I don't play little games. I think overall Admin is pleased with the way things have been handled, case closed. Merry

Hey he called me a gang ho
He thinks I'm just joing in with the crowd, but I was upset, but I should have freaking kept my mouth shut. I really don't want to leave the Macca board.
Hate me those of you who are never going back. I guess I just betrayed some of you. *sigh*

Each to their own Molly. I don't like to hear of conflict and competition between two communities, and I'm pretty sure that Andy and Fi didn't set this board up as a big "up yours" to PM.com However, I won't be going back. For me, too stifling, restrictive and full of sh*t. |

I don't want to see a "them versus us" thing going, either! I would still like to maintain my membership over at Paul's, but they've taken away our ability to discuss things with the removal of the TMT forum, so for the time being, I'll post over here where we are allowed to. I still don't get why they decided to remove that entire topic, or what it solves. I don't recall seeing anyone run rampant over there flagrantly disregarding any rules. What was the problem? The political forums were always controversial, but they were allowed to continue for a long time, so what else could it have been? Who wasn't "behaving themselves"? Merry

Well, I have to leave for work shortly, but when I come back I'm going to write a long message to one of the mods at Paul's, I would like to get a few issues cleared over there. They encourage us to talk to them via PM, so that's what I'm going to do. Maybe I hadn't taken it to the right people, I dunno. But since I seem to be one of the people in the middle of this tempest in a teapot, I think I should bring up my side of things and see how they fly. I'd tried, just never gotton any answers, and I'm not a mindreader. As I've said, some people have taken this whole message board business much too seriously. I have a real life outside of the net with issues here too, problems, as well as good things. Believe it or not, being online doesn't take up my every waking moment. I have people to face, things to do and a timeline to meet, too. I figure it's worth a try, anyway. Merry |

I've had no problems getting on & when I went on it made me realise why I would prefer to stay here & my reasons for not wnating to post on that board any more at the moment. I think its just awful the bitching & backbiting that is going on & THE LANGUAGE. I'm no prude but is it really necessary to F& blind at people like this ? The only time I ever really psot on there anyway is when Paul tours the UK. I have met some smashing people through his board & have no regrets about that but some of what goes on is just horrible. |
