Been working on that, thanks. The price of an artist's soul.

I think part of the problem here was that Bummer kept posting pretty much the same thing again and again and was on a few occasions probably just as bad as some of those that had a pop at him.

I know as I was one of those that said to chill out and that Bummer would be better advised to start a separate parallel thread to discuss the legalities etc.

Wholehartedly agree with this
textrat, you are a credit to this forum, and it would be a sadder place without you.
Long may you continue

The moderation of the thread in question was absolutely fine - it was made clear by Texrat that the source of the firmware was unclear and installation was discouraged. He did it with good humour too and that is something that this forum is sorely lacking in at times.

Perhaps. I wasn't fully awake to watch the whole thing, and so I don't recall every detail. I just remember thinking "this guy might have a valid point; how nice to see the howler monkeys flinging poo anwyays."

Again, though, if there were more moderators present, then that sort of thing could be counseled against. Sadly, that doesn't appear to have been the case.


Is there a warning points system here? I know vBulletin is capable of same; I'm just not sure if that's set up here (I've yet to piss folks off to the point of needing a warning - perhaps I should work on that if I want more info about moderation processes here? ). Would probably be more effective than "okay, that's it, you crossed the line and you're banned".

I'd love to see a formal, visible escalation method too.
