Just because Canadian rugby is not going the way you like it and moderating takes some time that is no reason to quit. No wonder Canadian rugby has issues. This site does not make money and in fact costs money, time and stress. If we can&#39;t maintain a few moderators then the site will have to be shut down as I am not prepared to moderate it 24 hours a day. Despite requests, no one has come forward to volunteer to write articles or post articles on the main site.</p> <p> I do appreciate our current moderators and the time they have put in toward moderating the site. All of you have done an excellent job. </p> http://canadianrugby.ca/forums/topic/fascist-moderators-hiding-behind-cute-little-names-are-no-different-than-posters#post-6752 Mon, 06 Jun 2011 05:21:23 +0000 Juniorcoach 6752@http://canadianrugby.ca/forums/ <p>&quot;it&#39;s been reduced to nattering about women&#39;s rights&quot;...<br /> C&#39;mon mate, that&#39;s a bit offside. </p> http://canadianrugby.ca/forums/topic/fascist-moderators-hiding-behind-cute-little-names-are-no-different-than-posters#post-6748 Mon, 06 Jun 2011 04:40:08 +0000 growapair 6748@http://canadianrugby.ca/forums/ <p>This was a shite thread to begin with but now it seems to have morphed into the most discouraging and disturbing one of recent memory.</p> <p>The whinging and moaning on here has become increasingly unbearable but - and I hope I speak for most - a major positive of this site has been the quality of the moderators.</p> <p>To see Toothless pack it in, and Faust offer to do the same, as well as winger disengaging due to the level of discourse, is very depressing indeed.

I was around when people posted on the Rugby Canada forum that got censored, hence the birth of Canadianrugby.com. (Thank you Moosehead et all.)<br /> I am finally wading in to this discussion as a warning to all rugby fans in Canada.<br /> Deal with the apathy and petty self-preservation at Rugby Canada now or forever be assigned to rugby’s tier two and three nations.<br /> Since the early 90’s rugby has been my favourite sport. I have followed the world game and the game in Canada with great enthusiasm. I played and I supported the game with my dollars as often as I could.<br /> That has changed. The petty bickering on this site and the overall apathy at Rugby Canada has soured me.<br /> Too give you all some context; I would visit this site as well as BC Rugby News and Rugby Canada daily. I watched all games Canada played ( via great sites like myp2p.eu) and watched as many Canadians playing professionally as possible. (DTH and Tbone at Glasgow, Cudmore in France and even Kleeburger in his short stint in Auckland)I also played for many years in three different provinces.<br /> The overall lack of imagination and stagnation of our game in Canada has finally gotten the better of me.<br /> This is the first time in at least two months that I have logged into this site and what do I see. Culloden saying goodbye and Heavy asking why his posts are being deleted. Absolute drivel if you ask me. ( No offence meant to Culloden or Heavy)<br /> Nothing has changed and unfortunately for the game of Rugby in Canada a lot needs to change. The board do nothing but insure their own survival and the CEO increases the amount of staff he supports while the game in this country goes backward.<br /> To those that really care about this game, my thoughts are with you. Although I didn’t agree with all your posts I do know that you cared about the game in Canada.<br /> Culloden – thank you for all you have done for the game. (Even if you do live in bantario ;-))<br /> Heavy – your posts were always a good read<br /> Smellyprop – I have missed your insight<br /> Harry Craig – although you posted too often and were a pain in the a** your heart was in the right place<br /> Faust (aka Sean Fauth) thank you for your contributions to the game even if your mod duties were questionable<br /> Knower – huddy huddy<br /> There are many more that I could comment on especially from the early days of this forum. I wish they were still here but unfortunately this is part of the issue with the sport of rugby in Canada. Too much BS from too few pushing the good ones away.<br /> Hopefully we can all see things turn around, unfortunately I have given up and am not holding my breath.<br /> And finally to the 2011 world cup squad. I know you will all do your best, but please don’t embarrass us. My kiwi friends will never let me hear the end of it.<br /> God help rugby in Canada because the Canadians running the game have no clue.<br /> Let the ripping apart of my post begin as I am done. </p> http://canadianrugby.ca/forums/topic/fascist-moderators-hiding-behind-cute-little-names-are-no-different-than-posters#post-6650 Thu, 02 Jun 2011 20:32:34 +0000 OHBOY 6650@http://canadianrugby.ca/forums/ <p>It seems to me that the wrong people (good people)seem to be moving away from the game, but who can blame them, you get shit on for trying to do the right thing.

You&#39;ve gone over the top a bit here and there (same with ol&#39; winger14)in your posts but because you&#39;ve (obviously) got quite a lot of time on your hands, and you read every post for libelous behaviour, you&#39;re given a pass as a moderator who lords over this here fiefdom like a golden god.</p> <p>You and the other moderators (not to mention the six months the site was down for &#39;refurbishing&#39; last year) have really sucked the life out of these forums. I am all for deleting a post that is slanderous, hurtful or rude, but I know in a past incarnation (see if you can guess who I was!!!) many of my posts were deleted for nothing more than taking the proverbial piss out of Harry Craig&#39;s large feedbag. Enough with the censorship. This site used to be read by hundreds if not thousands of people. Now it is read/posted on by maybe a handful of people because you&#39;ve chased them all away with your unique brand of &#39;web justice&#39;.</p> <p>Hear me out, at least, without deleting the post because someone dares to criticize you or these forums... But it is really sad what has become of what was once the only place for semi-relevant (using the term loosely here) discourse on rugby in this country... </p> http://canadianrugby.ca/forums/topic/fascist-moderators-hiding-behind-cute-little-names-are-no-different-than-posters#post-1018 Mon, 10 Aug 2009 18:44:09 +0000 Faust 1018@http://canadianrugby.ca/forums/ <p>My 2 cents is that you would have been mixed up as being someone who is an owner or admin of this site. Your comments would have been confused as being an official comments of this site and could place the site in jeopardy for slander or objectionable comments. I think the same can be said if I change my name to Gareth Rees and started to say things that could reflect badly on him. He has the right to ask the admin to change the name in order to protect his reputation.</p> <p>That is my opinion. </p> http://canadianrugby.ca/forums/topic/fascist-moderators-hiding-behind-cute-little-names-are-no-different-than-posters#post-1016 Sat, 08 Aug 2009 01:28:13 +0000 Anonymous 1016@http://canadianrugby.ca/forums/ <p>NO LONG NAMES!!! </p> http://canadianrugby.ca/forums/topic/fascist-moderators-hiding-behind-cute-little-names-are-no-different-than-posters#post-1015 Fri, 07 Aug 2009 23:00:54 +0000 admin 1015@http://canadianrugby.ca/forums/ <p>you were sent an email warning you that we do not want you to use the name canadianrugby.ca as a posting name and you were given time to correct your username.
