BBC Cutbacks - 606 should go.

[frameandfortunereturns]

Moondan,

I was blocked under a username on 606 so I changed it and now have been banned even though I said nothing offensive to anyone on there. It seems the idiots that are 'the boss' and 'seifer' are running the show there mate and the noderators should all get the sack for they are of no use whatsoever.

The comparison between here and 606 is an odd one.

This is a 'forum' where you are free to open a thread on literally whatever you like, whereas the thought behind 606 is as a fans' base (and probably with football as its main vehicle for design etc.) where you are creating 'aarticles' or 'match reports' rather than a simple thread.

This is a difference that was perceived when the old BBC board (which was very much a forum like TSF) was closed and replaced. I recall that one of the reasons published about closure of the old board was that it had become more or less just 'another forum' and they wantetd something different.

However, I am afraid that the powers that be on 606 have not backed that up with relevant moderation over the 14 months that it has been operative, and it has become, almost, just 'another forum' once again.

I think that the strange atmosphere there is then almost inevitable. And without being able to contact each other privately, there is no way to resolve personal issues without creating a thread – sorry, article – about it and that, in my opinion, is a dilution that we could do without.
