It is not cloak and dagger at all. When something like this goes off, it's extremely difficult for whichever mod(s) is/are currently online to get on top of it, try and sort it out, get rid of offensive messages, etc etc etc.
I've just got back to my PC about 30 minutes ago and have spent all this time trying to work out what has happened. I've got a mailbox full of messages, a few upset members, people talking to me on MSN, and a full-time real-life job in the background.
I have been speaking to Layla on MSN. I pointed her in the direction of KX's support thread and asked her if it was okay to delete it after she had read it, because I hate for things to go on and on AND ON after there has been a bad situation. Layla was fine with me deleting it after she had read it.
I would have sent you a PM to let you know KX, but as you can see from the above neither my fingers nor my head can work fast enough to get everybody sorted out at the same time. I cannot reply to everybody straight away. My main concern is to get offensive rubbish OFF the forum as soon as possible so we can try to improve the atmosphere a little. My next job is to reply to PMs, and speak to whoever I can on MSN to make sure they're okay.
Sorry if I sound grumpy but I hope the above explains a little about how it all works - it's not an easy job.
Please can today's argument now be kept to PM and MSN only - as I've said in the past, any threads that talk about threads that have been deleted, only get deleted themselves! But I'll leave this one here so you can all see my reply, which hopefully puts anybody's mind at rest that thinks we're all up to something behind the scenes, cos we're not.
