I see the forum rules on off topic are being used selectively on the Corbyn thread. Has there been a meeting exchange of emails of the IC? Or is Mod1 acting on his own?

Nonetheless, I'm always selective when issuing warnings, I have to be.So the answer to your question is no there's been no exchange of emails between me and the IC in this instance.
Just a suggestion but when so many people are off topic why not just issue a general warning at first.
This is a discussion forum not a Socialist version of "Just A Minute". A certain amount of deviation, hesitation and repetition is necessary and should be tolerated. I'm in favour of more low key moderation in respect to this. Some people will complain no matter what…
I am about to be suspended by mod despite the new protocol. Most comrades have gone off topic on numerous occasions but have not recieved warning. I feel as if I am being targeted perhaps because of my 'previous'Shouldn't the users that responded to my off topic be warned too?Am I alone in believing this?Is a suspension warranted?in a couple of minutes I have found that Posts #588 586 573 552 555 556 558 560 546 are off topic and received no warning. There are many more. Which is why I started this thread How mod rules can be used

Rule enforcement is the responsibility of the moderators, not of the contributors. If you believe a post or private message violates a rule, report it to the moderators. Do not take it upon yourself to chastise others for perceived violations of the rules.

So I was suspended for simply questioning a moderator's decision? Apart from being despotic, an EC member has since done the same thing without even a warning.
No one answered this question. So I assume most SPGB members believed it is ok to censor opinions that question the moderators decision. If you are ok with that then you have no right to refer to yourself as a socialist

A socialist follows a structure which embeddes certain rules, procedures, processes and protocols. You decided to ignore these to your own detriment. You were not suspended for questioning my decision but for not following party procedures appertaining to this forum.In short comrade you were out of order, nothing more and nothing less. If you have decided to continue down this path that is your decision. Nonetheless I will continue to enforce the guidelines and rules.

Out of order, so you are silenced me. You can give as much mumbo jumbo as you want, you shut me up because of an opinion you don't like. I know t the moment you have the support of the majority but so did hitler but it doesnt mean you are right. In fact I know posterity will prove you wrong,wrong wrong Stalin made people and opinions disappear because he did not want them public. He was a cunt, i am sure you are not. so stop silencing me, deal with my argument
How is it that some users are permitted to 'cross-post' on multiple threads, thereby infringing a forum rule, without receiving any apparent warning or sanction?http://www.worldsocialism.org/spgb/forum/general-discussion/reforming-capitalism-supporters-about-money-and-what-it-meanshttp://www.worldsocialism.org/spgb/forum/general-discussion/participatory-delegate-democracy-practical-without-internet-access?page=1#comment-35566http://www.worldsocialism.org/spgb/forum/general-discussion/imagine-you-could-pass-any-law-or-regulation-capitalist-society-order-make-?page=1#comment-35633http://www.worldsocialism.org/spgb/forum/world-socialist-movement/internet-democracy#comment-35683http://www.worldsocialism.org/spgb/forum/website-technical/spgb-website-upgrade-project#comment-35721http://www.worldsocialism.org/spgb/forum/general-discussion/socialism-will-fail-if-sex-not-used-group-cohesion?page=8#comment-35745

I see third waning has been issued. So it is 4 warnings before suspension?
