Just a quick post from me to say that I've asked AVFTT to take me off the moderator roster with immediate effect.
I've been doing it for a bit over three years now and whilst it's been a pleasure for most of that time, in the last few months it has become less so as the club's support has become riven by different factions.
It's also clear that my personal style of moderating has become an issue for some people. I've sonly ever tried to represent the interests of the decent (and often silent) majority, but it is obviously a problem for some. I don't want my status to be an inhibiting factor for this new board, so in the interests of the forum as a whole I'm stepping down. As the saying goes, it will allow me more time to spend with my rather marvellous family.  [Post edited 8 Aug 2014 21:31]

BRB,
I hope you didn't take things personal; it's all about opinions and you know the old saying.
Thanks for your troubles and enjoy the extra time you will now have.. | | | |

Its been a long time coming though hasn't it? Lets hope Oyston follows your splendid example of knowing when you're beaten.

 Don't forget to properly log out from your Basbob (member status) username, before attempting to apply your mod skills, as you will need to re-log in using the AVFTT username (mod status) to apply your unique moderation talent!  | |

There you are Robbie, you can now buy all your mates a pint without being accused of favouritism.

I'm trying to avoid posting on here, but I'm afraid this one merits it IMO.
Not a great deal of class being shown on this thread so far as far as I can see.
You don't particularly need my support or probably want it Robbie, but as far as I'm concerned, your efforts to moderate our forum under very trying conditions were very much appreciated.
It's an shame that you have felt the need to make this decision for the benefit of others and as I said on the other forum, I think that shows exactly which way you roll.
Fair play to you mate...A respected poster and a proper Blackpool fan[Thumbs up Smiley] | | | |

Hi Robbie - I don't blame you. I've viewed the recent OTT vitriol with a degree of concern and there seem to be a lot of paranoid conspiracy theorists amongst some of the posters - the idea that you are making millions of bucks from moderating a fans board, seems a little bit fanciful to say the least....I was wondering why anybody would put themselves through this - life is too short.
Anyhow matey - good decision for your own sanity and hope to see you in a pub before the Millwall game. | | | |

Amen.
I barely agree with him on anything, but the personal abuse he receives from people who have been signed up for five minutes is ridiculous. Talking as someone who's flounced himself, I've no idea how he put up with idiots like me for so long.
Long live Bazzle. [Post edited 8 Aug 2014 18:25]

As i said elsewhere it's a thankless task doing the modding and overall Brr got more right than wrong.
So i thank you for that.
Apart from matchdays and fish he posts utter bilge, but hey ho  | |

Enjoy every moment with your family, and well..........meh......I will soon find a new mod to dislike.
Now you are no longer a mod I think I shall enjoy your musings.

Thanks for the time you have spent doing the neigh on impossible - and perhaps only something that should be done by a faceless moderator who just ensures that lines are not stepped over - must be hard to have your own opinion and still try to stay balanced. You may have been at odds with a lot of people but I would say you were always fair.
I've always enjoyed your reports and the thought that goes into what you say and your sense of humour is second to none - something that's hard to get across in the written word. I cannot fault you undying support for the team and I've said it before, I've never met you I don't know you but I would happily sit and nurse a pint or two and listen to your stories Jackanory!
Please continue to contribute from the back benches and voice your opinion, nil illigitimus carborundum! | | | |

Is this an attempt to get the first ton on AVFTT?!
It's a real shame that more haven't followed so far because this is a really excellent website and I'm sure your decision Robbie is partly down to the fact that there doesn't seem much need for moderation.
I have now made the move and having flicked between the two am getting nothing on the other board which has descended in to an unruly mess that posters here aren't supplying. I hope your 'Just got back' posts will continue as they are a highlight of post-match! | |

It's been a very divisive couple of years and I think you've done your best in trying circumstances. It can't be easy to moderate when people are understandably emotive on the subject and therefore don't see what they might post be seen as libellous.
There are a lot of preconceptions that have been regurgitated once again on this thread.
Far too many have got that obsessed with Oyston they've forgotten about the football.
Keep posting as I know many appreciate your insight on the club. | | | |

Rarely agree with anything you say Robbie, we've had one or two spats!
But thanks for doing what is a very difficult job and enjoy your time with the family. | | | |

I suppose having been a poster for many years before becoming a moderator, you were always likely to gain some disapproval. I thought the moderating on the other board was a little harsh at times, but I think you did a decent job. Hope you enjoy your retirement.
Hirstian is exactly right when he pointed out the paranoid conspiracy theories and it's nice to see Realistic at least try to hide his contempt.  [Post edited 8 Aug 2014 19:27]

All the best and thanks for banning me for doing nothing at all whilst letting Phil re register about twenty times. If you had been more fair you would have more respect.
However as one human to another I applaud your decision to spend time with your family as its important.

Your choice robbie. A thankless task in my opinion so enjoy your new formed time.
As I am now back at work full time, it is nice to be able to not check the board out until about 6pm, I was on here far too much.
I will hopefully see you in the POC a week tomorrow | | | |

Could I remind all posters that personal slants on users past or present are uncalled for. Whatever your feelings/views on a particular user they are exactly that (keep them to yourself!).
If you post in a public forum the affected party has every right to follow this up in the real world. I have removed a post tonight to protect all parties both poster and affected user and would hope that users will see the fairness in this approach.
For the benefit of everyone please refrain from personal slants - obviously we can all take some mickey take but its knowing when to stop.
Before anyone says I was not approached by AVFTT to mod I asked to be a mod and like to think that I am neutral in all things BFC. That said I am human and will get things wrong!

Baz, end of an era.
Anytime you need a pint (even if that sh*** you lot drink ) at an away game..it's on me
You have had a tough job on your hands for a long while and I imagine like most things you will be firstly relieved to be rid of the role, then miss it, then realise your first impulse was right!
Enjoy watching the Pool surprise a few this season hopefully....see you about big man x
