Brumm, to set a rule in a forum as a Mod is NOT to abuse mod powers, it is quite common to warn about a result or keep it hidden so people who can not see it live and have to watch a recording, does not get it spoiled by knowing the result before hand. Someone might want to browse Sports and Hobbies and read threads about other things than a particular game
so it is just common curtesy not to disclose the result in the title and especially if it is a rule set by a mod for that forum.

TBH if you didnt like it i dont care. There are lots of spoilers on the forums and i aint bowing to being told what i cant put in my thread title cause its convenient for you. Id rather get banned.
Dont want to know the score yet you go to a forum topic about football?

GFY TBH   ;)

 Im sorry you feel the need to disregard a request from one of the two moderators of this forum. I dont understand why you deliberately want to spoil the match for me. I have to record the matches because I sleep during the day as I work nights.

Youre right; this forum is not just for me. It?s for everyone. I have made a request which I would like everyone to follow. I am not overly unhappy about the fact that you ignored the request but the way you have gone about ignoring it and your openness to being deliberately spiteful towards another member of these forums.

It is obvious to me that you have a chip on your shoulder which is more suitable for someone on a playground. If you cannot act in a responsible manner on these forums then please dont post. The thing that makes these forums so good is that generally everyone treats each other with respect and it?s usually a nice atmosphere. Sometimes people like to rock the boat. Fine, it?s dealt with.

Other forums arent moderated in such an easy going manner as Tek Forums. The fact that its very rare for me to wear my moderating cap is great. I dont like to see forum members deliberately causing trouble, its not big and doesnt impress anyone. If you are not happy with the rules placed on a forum by the moderators of that forum, the solution is simple, avoid that forum.

If you are unhappy with the actions of a moderator, then feel free to voice your concerns to another member of the moderating team or to an Admin.

I thank the people who are following my request; I really appreciate you doing so. Thank you.

As a moderator he has every right to make the rule for the forum and Im guessing a lot of people wont see the match straight away, so its not hard to post "Argentina vs Italy - Results inside" or "England vs Germany - match spoilers" or anything along those lines.

I dont see why you are taking personal exception to this, its polite courtesy. Did you come out of the cinema screaming "Vader was his dad, Vader was his dad"?

We used to have spoiler tags, but the new forum software doesnt support them, so its not an abuse of power, its actually something that should have been considered at the start of the cup.

A request is one thing, being told what to do is another.
Not personal just some nob jockey telling me they go into a sports forum and not expext to see the score. Like watching BBC1 @ 6pm and not wanting to know the news.

Im not going to relent now am i?  :roll:

Even on the news they tell you to look away or not listen when they are reading the results Brummie.

TBH Ive yet to see a valid reason from you to go against this, all Im seeing is childish throwing of the toys out of the pram. Have you actually got a genuine reason to be offended by this request/ruling or do you just take exception to all authority?

What if I impose the rule?

Is totally the manner in which we was told we had to comply.
A quick mention in one of the threads was all it took.
but making a sticky (which has been edited now) and telling me i had to do it.

I dont care to be honest, im up for the fight now  ;)

Ive just told you hes allowed as a moderator to impose rules ad hoc, beneficial to the forums. In this instance it is exactly that.

So the problem you have is with the authority. Im not going to make it a fight, weve both tried being democratic and if you are set on thinking the rules wont apply without genuine cause to go against them then youre mistaken. I mean if you seriously would rather be banned Id suggest you think carefully about what means more to you: posting here or your pride/ego over something so trivial.

Brummie, I am not sure why you have taken offense.  If you re-read my sticky post, you will see that it was initially a request.  It did depend upon the goodwill of the people that are a member of the Tek Forum community.  

This may surprise you, but not everyone reads every thread in Sports.  The best way to ensure everyone sees my request was to make a sticky.  

Your reaction to my request really baffles me.
