As I have said many times I like Benedict, I also asked recently has he been given the third degree ? I am now asking myself, has he lost the plot, has he been taking too many Bennies ? *
Take a recent incidence, a well respected forum member was banned. Her friends came out in support and complained loudly, an injustice had been done. Benedict the administrator stated.
“Yes, Defren I believe it was heavy handed. I also unintentionally took a post out of context which was certainly bad on my part. I'm sorry for this.” and also handed out some waffle. Defren was reinstated, justice had been done. What of her loyal and steadfast advocates, BANNED for a month.!
"A forum of this size cannot function without the support of the moderators and so when members club together to belittle tough decisions the moderators have made, we'd rather be rid of those members"
Well they heeded your advice Ben and set up a great forum. Welcome to the crazy world of diabetes. Ben why don't you join a good forum ? You know it makes sense why fight it ?

- Benzedrine is the trade name of the racemic mixture of amphetamine (dl-
amphetamine). The drug was often referred to as "bennies" by users and in literature.

“We stand for organized terror - this should be frankly admitted. Terror is an absolute necessity during times of revolution. Our aim is to fight against the enemies of the Soviet Government and of the new order of life. We judge quickly. In most cases only a day passes between the apprehension of the criminal and his sentence. When confronted with evidence criminals in almost every case confess; and what argument can have greater weight than a criminal's own confession?”
― Felix Dzerzhinsky

"As far as I am aware, it has not been resolved.
it appears that it is going to be taken no further.
the suffering Paul1976 and I had during that time does not seem sufficiently important to taken seriously."
Just what have they got to hide, why the cover up, just how many of the admin and mods team are complicit in this?

They are looking for more mods at DCUK.
The criteria.
"‣ Active forum member
‣ Willing to help out others in a courteous manner
‣ Approachable
‣ Able to keep a calm and level head at all times
‣ Not afraid to make decisions
‣ Non-biased
‣ Patient with themselves and others"
They should have added honesty and integrity to list, seeing the admin lack the those qualities it's not going happen.
Ray, your comment "“I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.” — Voltaire" is so true, and is what our new forum stands for. People are adults, people have voices, we need to hear those voices, not stifle them.

DCUK forum may as well merge with the DUK one, there's not going to be much difference the way things are turning out.

Well,if you look at the majority of the people still left on there,DCUK,if they are made mods then you won't be able to use the word 'Fart' without one of them bursting into tears and locking and removing threads.
The place is just a 'Land of fairies and pixies' now!
