ewerk 26546 Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Big Tom was issuing major slap downs even back then. Quote This was not a premeditated discussion on behalf of the moderators & admins so it doesn't speak for us all. Especially as the instigator talks about rules & potential changes then goes on to edit peoples posts - this is not what we had in mind & we wont see this in future from our new moderators who were brought in to help us - not hinder us 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 13883 Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Looking at that thread it’s strange looking at the “new” members who’ve now been here a DECADE. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 4964 Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 That's interesting to read through tbh - I honestly think in the end that most good people can police themselves in a socially acceptable way 99% of the time without rules and moderation. When they fall over, you have a discussion with them to bring them back around. It does leave things open to abuse a bit from some of the trolls out there, but it's not really been that disruptive to the place over the years from what I've seen. Tbh I sometimes regret that I missed the Leazes era, it sounds hysterical in some ways that a single poster was able to wind up this much of the forum for such a period of time.

Tom 13883 Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Tbh I think it was very much the opposite with Leazes. The bloke went loopy from spending time on here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 4964 Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 What I don't get about him though, is that he was anti-Ashley, right? Like, that was his whole thing? I'm struggling to imagine he had a hard time getting people to agree with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 26546 Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 He wasn't so much Anti-Ashley as pro-Shepherd. Even if Abramovich had bought us he wouldn't have been good enough for Leazes compared to the former owners. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone, during the brief invasion of NO, said that it turned out LM, and his various alias, was actually related to fat Freddy, which explained a lot. His Mohamed bacon shed will be burning under the current owners. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 13883 Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 I watched Mohammed Bacon Shed supporting Maximo Park at the cluny a few years back. Canny. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m positive we met him when we were in the Strawberry pre-game in 2009 and he was 2J’s mate. But that was donkey’s ago, so probably was Bawan. He knew how to get Leaze wound up though.
