Come on, Barb and Richard. 7 pages on, 9 months later, and you both have both failed to address the issue at the core of this topic nor even acknowledge this topic. What's your excuse?
As it stands, the poll results are currently:
Yes (54 votes) 71.1%
No (22 votes) 28.9%
That should be MORE than sufficient enough to prove there is strong agreement by the users here we need moderation around here.

Richard is the only vote that counts, and unless he has changed his views in the last 9 years, he is unlikely to implement multiple moderators.
Less than 9 years ago, Richard stated ...
"This board has a very open attidude to freedom of speech, and will always remain so."
Perhaps Richard and Barb are ignoring you because you have no right make demands concerning Queenzone on Richard's website?
FYI ... On some websites, repeated bumping of a topic is considered trolling.
I met Richard briefly at a US Queen convention about 10 years and discussed his adamant views against censorship and moderation. Anything is possible, but my guess is that his views have not changed much.
I also asked him about the official Queenzone t-shirts being sold at the time, and he indicated that he believed that I was the only person to purchase a Queenzone t-shirt.

Regardless whether he expressed that view 9 years ago or not, it's like you yourself said: "and unless he has changed his views in the last 9 years..."
That being said, is it really that much of a hassle to get either him or YV to officially respond to this topic, whether they agree with the poll results or whether they'd rather stay the course of old?? I'm certain I'm not the only one who would like to know where their views currently stand. This board really is a mess...

Perhaps it is too much of a hassle ... and maybe is not worth the aggravation?
This reminds me of the many Queenzone posts (over 10 years ago??) that demanded that John Deacon make an official statement regarding his "retirement" rather than John staying quiet about it and being a "Man in the Shadows".

Still, the plain fact remains that an international court has now set a clear precedent: if a forum has illegal content of any kind, posted by any user, the forum's owner (in this case Richard Orchard) is legally responsible and can be held accountable. By proxy, the web host can also be held accountable, and therefore, they can decide to terminate the hosting contract if illegal content is not moderated. Richard's anti-censorship views were very noble in the early 2000s, but they are no longer fully tenable.

Indeed. And unlike the early 2000's, Richard now lives in the UK as opposed to Australia, which definitely places him within EU jurisdiction.

Ten years or so ago, there was more than one moderator ...
At that time, a Queenzoner (who is currently active on this site) had the audacity to call someone a "cunt". Gasp!!! The vocal majority of Queenzoners were outraged and screamed bloody murder to ban the QZ user who uttered such filth.
... and the moderator heard the plea of the vocal Queenzoners, and succumbed to their demands that this "troll" be permanently banned from Queenzone.
However, there were several level-headed humble Queenzoners that correctly observed that this banning was a cowardly act of censorship. These humble Queenzoners were distraught and beseeched the God of Queenzone to have mercy and reinstate the wrongly banned Queenzoner.
... and the God of Queenzone did heavily sigh and indicated that he would review the matter.
... whence the review was completed the God of Queenzone was confounded and did not understand understand what the big deal was ...
and he did reinstate the unjustly banned Queenzoner, and didst request that Queenzoners no longer get their panties in a bunch over such trivial complaints. [/QUOTE]
Those were good days.

Piss off. This has nothing to do with picking people solely because they're my friends, and close friends at that if this was what you were getting at. If that were the case, on the basis of them being close friends, the list would be very different!
My picks had to do more with their quality of character and integrity from my own observations. Have you noticed I haven't nominated myself either? I feel I have too much bias and also would not be able to dedicate a consistent amount of time on a regular basis to overseeing the forums due to personal situations outside of the website.
Can't believe this shit.[/QUOTE]
The oldest trick in the book, "I don't want to be moderator! I vote for someone else! Not me!"

Simply put, you don't insult, troll and fuck with me anymore. 13 years of dealing with this kind of shit, and after all the extreme crap I've gone through this year alone, it's my turn to bite back this once. Some of you guys have fucked with me for FAR too long, consider this a methodological warning. I simply took advantage of a failure in Trolling 101: Never leave a public trail if you insist on trolling the crap out of people. And I did NOT publish the picture very technically speaking, Gerry has no one but himself to blame for publishing that picture in the first place, on his own -personal- Facebook account to boot, I only merely hotlinked an image embed to the picture. If YourValentine or Richard demand the take down or any further recourse, that's their call and I will accept whatever (and IF they even bother with the website anymore at this stage anyways) reprimands they issue towards me if they deem it to be past crossing the line.
And go ahead, mock me like you always fucking do. Never mind the reasons I am so bitter, negative and perhaps a little bit vengeful these days. I'm your favourite shooting target after all, so who gives a shit how I personally feel these days after putting up with years of you assholes going after me, ridiculing me, often without solid legit basis - even AFTER I've tried to turn myself around over the last few years given my reputation from my first few years here that I have admitted elsewhere could have been handled so much better, and make amends where I could.
I really, really don't give a shit anymore at this stage what certain people like you here think of me, there's no point me reasoning with your stained lot, especially not after the DRF fiasco last year. I know who my friends are, and you are not among them. SO fuck you Holly2003, Panchgani, and Gerry the snobbish asshat.[/QUOTE]
That's the funniest post I've read. Hahahaha!!!

Come back and talk to me when you've yourself walked in my shoes for just as many years being bullied, taken advantage of, and systematically have your soul and dignity torn apart. Until then, you will NEVER understand my anger and why I am the way I am.[/QUOTE]

That would be something I'd be more comfortable discussing in private, preferably over voice chat. Not keen on writing a novel in public about it.

[/QUOTE]
Actually, Britt, I am quite serious and humble about it, I am actually NOT interested in becoming a moderator. And I've outlined the reasons for it quite truthfully above, as you yourself quoted.
I'm just dedicated moreso to lobbying this site to adopt more moderation and to get with the times about it.
