How honourable of you, Scabby, requesting that the privacy of members be invaded by looking into their IP addresses. Once again, I question your character.

The owner of this site logs IP addresses as a means of combatting fraud and other misuses. You agreed to having your IP address recorded when you signed up to the terms and conditions of membership. There is no privacy issue as you waived any such rights when you joined this website.

As this is my 1st post on god knows how many months I will make this brief!. I have been asked my my collegue and fellow moderator to check the findings of the IP report I have done so in the manner requested and also added my own comments. As not to bring this topic off thread I will not be answering questions on "my apapthy" as TS puts it, or "Admins apathy" as people who are aware of the facts will testify, needless to say I am only on S.com when requested these days and anyone who feels that they would be better served or better equiped to take over the forums I am not being allowed to resign from well please go forth and do so!. I will not be giving out my user name and password for all and sundry to moderate my posts and as luck would have it after Christmas I actually have this thing that was missing in my life called spare time! (Working 11 hour days does hamper a social life) I will make an effort to be online more if requested but at this moment in time it is a question of prioritising what spare time I have between my Fiancee and an 11 year old girl and dealing with a message board on the grand scheme of things is not my number one priority (call me shallow if you wish but my family comes 1st!)
I would also like to remind folks as well that every time Neil disagrees with something you say he is a poster as well as a moderator. Please do not fire that at him every time he speaks as quite a few threads have done! We are not an elite group of posters, we are not a super group of posters that spend every waking hour on this board (as some would wish) we are not employees of Scotland.com, virtualcountries.com or any of its licensed companies. We are posters that can edit posts, see IP addresses move threads, report stuff to admin etc, when I took up this post as moderator my lifestyle was massivly different to what it is now and now I am changing it so can be "the auld maddog" but in between that the offer if there for someone to run with the batton also (there is no rule on how many mods you can have in a forum.
That was me being brief!
