    I am new to this and it's been a bit of a learning curve, please understand that my intent was to give back to the forum not to create more angst.

    If there are issues then fellow members should feel comfortable to reach out and discuss these with me and I understand my manor has made me less than approachable.

    I am big enough to admit my short fall and will endeavour to do better.

    This is a difficult role to get your head around and I am learning that at times I have to take the passionate and emotive Danny hat off and extend a bit more courtesy and respect towards my fellow Forumites.

    I can work on me and I will.

    I'm not going anywhere this is a small but very tight knit community and we should all be on the same side.

    Thanks to the rest of the Mod team for your support and advice.
    Hang in there Dannyb you are only trying to do your best for us

    Don't apologise, keep up the good work!

    Modding is a thankless task, we're lucky that the modding standard here, is good.

    In all aspects of life we are beginners at some stage (whether it be hunting, driving a car or whatever). The important thing is to accept that, and operate within your skill/experience level. If you do that, your efforts will be appreciated and as your experience grows so will your abilities. Keep it up.

    To err is human. Don't sweat it.
    I wonder if AI would ever admit it's wrong?
    Keep up the good work dannyb

    Not sure what you are specifically issuing an apology for, but I didn't see anything dramatic.
    Anyway - thanks to you and any other mods for the work you do.

    Apology accepted but I'm not sure it is required. When we join this forum we are asked to read the rules which are pretty straight forward. If these rules were broken there were warnings about potential consequences. If you break the rules accept the consequences and don't complain about it ! If you'd rather play by different rules play somewhere else !

    @dannyb. Mate, I've only been here a couple of years, but what I've read you and the rest of the mods are doing a first class job. I'm with the Duck, a spades a spade, call it if you need to. No need to apologize for doing your job.

    As per RugerM77's comment above, you guys do a bloody great job, and while it may not be appreciated by some, it certainly is by most. I couldn't bloody do it! You already had my respect for the effort I've seen you put in DB, and you just got a lot more from this post. The art of admitting wrongdoing (whether a wrong was done or not, which is debatable) is a dying one.

    Easy for people to get out of shape from behind the keyboard, and not be aware of bigger pictures. Rules are rules, and I for one (a relatively new one) am thankful that you and the smurf-blue admin/mod team enforce them. 99% of posts/threads seem to get on just fine without having to breach the rules.

    So given its a thankless task, a massive thank to you and all the mods/admins. Bunji would be proud.

    I don't think you have anything to apologize for Danny. You're only human too, don't forget.

    It's a thankless task that I don't think I could do, without firing up at some stage.

    You're better off to just call it as you see it, and don't over think things I reckon.

    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Yeah, like others have said, I think you being harsh to yourself.

    I'm a fairly new member and I think this forum is pretty well run and organised,
    I think you have done a great job and you did what you saw fit,
    it is what it is, no apology is needed.

    THANK YOU to you and all the mods, admins, contributors and whoever was involved in the forum.

    Dan - have never had an issue with your moderation. Not once. As Snap says above - no apology needed.

    You provide a very useful service - carry on with the good wishes of all.

    Cheers Mike
