Toodles.

yawa-ti-de, why would i get banned. The topic here says Windows Internet Explorer 8: Get The Facts  and the question im asking here is related to this topic which u posted. What type of moderator are u. A simple question brings ban here. I wonder why seun employ certain set of people as moderator that arent polite. I might be a novice in creating a post and that makes me get a ban? I hope speaking my mind wont allow me get a ban, Anyway i wish u best as a moderator

sley: Let's read my post again, shall we?

Now, forget all the other words and zoom in on the bolded one. Get it now?

Yawa, the main word here is BAN not might. This is a democratic society where everyone comes here to make his view & learn from others. As a moderator you lead by example. You shouldnt use the word ban when what im posting might also help others. I felt your thread might get much people reading it and replying me on time. Sometimes i wonder why we blame our govt yet we in the society makes things difficult. Do you know if im an illeterate that dont have an idea to start a new topic? I wish i can meet seun in person to ask some few questions.

There is still some problem with IE8 (it is better than the rest of IE) especially for CSS authors. For best user experience always use FF or Chrome

my last response to sley on the matter:

I wrote the post, so sorry I get to choose what I emphasize, not you. To that effect, I choose to emphasize "Might", not "ban".

Either way, you have been warned and will be watched.

Thanks,

My last response to Yawa is you better learn how to moderate. You cant watch over me because u havent watched over your comment. Its time I meet seun personaly to table issues regarding some moderators on this site. If speaking my mind will make you watch me on webmaster section(which i hardly come) then u can go ahead. I have a copy of what i wrote and will tender it to your Boss(seun) if the need arises if that worths me getting a ban from an assistant moderator.

but, sley, wats the matter? u argue like a woman. A moderator knows whats best for the forum, if not, he/she wuldnt have been appointed to do so, i remember reading something abt this same stuff u posted in abt 2 other threads, just posted to interrupt the ongoing discussions, havnt u wandered why no one answered u?

My broda when two or three ppl tells u that u r not handsome, better check urself well. If u dont know how to create a thread, what stops u from changing ur subject from IE8 messenger to PLEASE HOW CAN I CREATE A THREAD? then later u culd use that info to start ur stuff.

Now u want to meet Seun cos u wanna report someone to him, na wah o, i hope u he pays ur transport back and also hand u a medal of honour or possibly remove YAWA from moderating and put u there.

mmmmcchhheeeeeeeewwww.

bugs, the dude might be right. Some moderators arent friendly. I have just read his post and i realised it concerns IE8 which we are commenting on. Moreover we all paid to have access here and I believe its the duty for the moderators to be polite. I usualy experience such problem with IE8 so i decided i use firefox instead.

Moreover we all paid to have access here

Really? How much?

yawa-ti-de:

Really? How much?

now, thats going off topic.

ie8? they wont tell you it had issues until it's discovered.

webdezzi: of course they won't. In case you don't know, we the user base, are MSFT's (free) quality assurance department. If we don't find it, they won't fix it
