I don't need to know who the moderators are, nor their backgrounds as long as they don't mess with my smoking habit.

I think Linton just wanted to bring Takeda out of his stealth mode ...

By the way spearfish your blog is not real heavy with bio information.

I thought you were a libarian in the UK, right?

Here's Tak's bio ... I've known of him for nine years in fact he was here
when I got here in 99 waiting for SH II ...

I can tell you one thing I've found about him ... He is very smart and would've made a great officer on submarines.

Takeda Shingen is not a member of any public groups

What is a public group by the way ... Sub Club is the only one I knew of ...

That is one of the highest compliments that I have ever been paid. I thank you.

You can read my bio in my profile and in the bio thread. Also, Kiwi did not want to say so as per ettiquite, which I appreciate, but I will reveal that the quoted text is mine.

More effective than moderator bios would be member bios. After all, new members will spend more time interacting with the general membership than they will the moderators. Thus, the individual could get the name of that guy that flamed them, look up the bio, and decide for themselves whether or not to respond based on personal preference and ideology. It would lighten my work load. :p Of course, then we would have nothing buy 100 pages of member bios, and room for no discussion. Maybe not such a great idea after all.

This aspect is already covered by the sticky at the top of the page and was not what I was suggesting.Interesting information on Hunter has appeared.Who of you knew that Bill Nicholls served on Nautilus?

Anglo-Saxons?!

The Anglo-Saxon traditions ended a few hundred years after the Norman invasion of
1066 and the Anglo-Saxon gene pool is indistinct in England and makes up only a tiny
proportion of the country, the mainly Anglo Saxons areas in 1066 and before being
confined mainly to the South and East of England and acounting for a fraction of the total population.

If it is true that the admins don't like Anglo-Saxons, I demand to know if they also
dislike Jutes, Bemicians, Britons, Celts, Surreymen and all other past peoples.

Anyway, didn't you say they where Pro-German?
Anti Saxon and pro German?

My Nationality is British
My Country is English
My race is white European
My heritage is German, Scottish, Hebrew and English

(is this going in your data base?)

The Vikings and Scots no longer exist and it is almost impossible for the vast majority to claim heritage from the. People travel around and the world has become too much of a small place for a long time for that.

Nah, I'm tired of the Swiss rolls. I'm a Dunkin Donuts fan so I'll have the Boston Cremes or perhaps a jelly donut. It is all part of my comprhensive weight loss plan. Oh, I need a large coffee as well. Thank you

I would try telling Gordon Brown and Alex Salmond that the Scots do not exist and you might be in for a shock!OK I will rephrase it and say I find the moderator is occasionally anti-british and this is the only posture against another countries citizens I have ever seen him take.

My thinking is that if you are a member of Subsim you have agreed to the terms and conditions of this site.

So for me I think its a case that each and everyone of us are moderators, if you see something happening that you believe to be against what this community stands for then you should inform the person/s responsible of their obligation to withdraw comments, pictures or gestures that are against Subsims terms.

If you have no joy then you simply move it up the chain of command - official moderator who has the ability to close posts/threads, keel haul, or in extreme cases ban.

But for me they are a good source of help and information and I have used them on many occasions to help with my account/faults with posting etc.

I think they should remain silent and let their actions do the talking.

well yes, the Scots still exsist as a distinct genetic group, but that is distinct from the Scottish, like Brown, who may or may not also be a Scot.


Can you give quotes for the anti-British thing?
I haven't seen it my self, but if you can provide evidence I will stay open minded.


Talking about modderators, what happend to Wastegate?
