@shooj can this be investigated please. I have private messaged you as well.
The reasons for the public post is that other users were expressing legitimate concerns with me and the individual who closed the discussion was one of the individuals that had, on many occasions in the thread (among others) was seeking to misrepresent the discussion and shut down ‘dissenting’ voices.
I think that in this case the discussion was throwing up some fundamental issues about Zwift so the closing down was aimed more at shutting that down than any personal abuse.
i’m with you. i just got out of a zwift ride with with a ZHQ member in (i wont name him just in case he misspoke and i dont want him to get in trouble for chatting in a group ride) and he said they are allowed to talk about sauce so there’s no reason a staff member can’t at least clarify their policy for you
that’s why i didn’t name him. nah i’m just messing with you. i was only half paying attention but the convo was about zam, sauce etc and from what i understand it’s generally zwift policy to not comment on third party apps. which sounds reasonable to me. i dont use any so i dont have a horse in the race
I might add James that I’ve observed you to always be great on these forums. Polite, curtious and apologetic if you feel you have misunderstood somebody. I always appreciate your contribution.
It does if you seemingly close down a discussion you don’t wish to be happening. I suggest that you have overstepped your responsibilities as a moderator as there were many people that wanted that discussion.
I’m not going to get into a tit-for-tat with you, nor explain myself any further. You’ve already taken it up with Shuji, so I’ll await the outcome of that.
@Tim_White I think that you’ve been pretty combative the last few days on the forums with your Sauce thread and arguing with Sarah about her group ride hostility thread. Easy for me to see why you are being shut down by the moderators.
Perception is reality when it comes to these types of issues. If a moderator perceives someone as being inappropriate, making personal attacks, breaking the rules of the forums, etc. then it is their responsibility to act.
