I remember in the old days this topic would have been locked in a heartbeat because mod discussion was not allowed.

I also remember a time when the thread even deviated slightly from the OP it was
bloody well locked.

This board has gone bananna's several times and come out with new mods. Some who stayed, some who actually did their job well but were left on their own and left out of annoyance, some who were forever martyrs, and some like myself who eventually went by the wayside and never lost their mod status.

If this is a burning issue for people, then use this thread constructively and either suggest new rules, volunteer for mod status, and state what level of relaxation/moderation ye actually want.

We had a discussion for a flame thread before... cause when things are too tightly moderated tensions build among the regulars (hoo boy there were some serious/yet brillant! fights on here in our time )

Turn the gripes into suggestions and maybe something might be accomplished.

If hes not here what makes you think hes there?

I agree with Chiefy.

And if thats a return to the old days, let us know.

Constructive criticism is the way forward; whining, bitching, whinging etc is just not going to help the problem it will make it worse.

If you have a problem air but then try and work with the community here to solve it....

i just want to see a punch up, ...preferably a cat fight please

I am DEEPLY disturbed....


Not by this thread though, I was pretty much messed right up before I read this one....


Just like anything else in life, nothing is perfect (apart from my dog, she is the best).

I know that it is really easy to criticise the actions of the mods in general, but why not try doing something constructive about it?

Just a suggestion, but if someone has a thread locked and they consider it unfair, then why not just PM the person who locked it and ask why?

If I lock a thread and someone disagrees with it, then just PM me and explain why it should not have been locked, and if there is a good reason, then it will be unlocked, easy as that.

(Even though if I lock something, there is usually an OBVIOUS reason why).

The reason for the tidying up of the forum of the last week is because of 'feedback' from a user, which has been taken on board.

It is easy to send a PM to any mod here, we all know how to do it, so there is no excuse for saying that it won't be listened to, cos it will be SO much more welcome than open criticism on the boards.

If you are unhappy with the response from that, then you can always take it up with God himself, cos that is what he is there for. (as well as other lesser important things like creating the universe and stuff)

suggestions for new rules?

on another forum i've been on the mods could move threads to the appropriate section which was useful as here threads just seem to get locked if they aren't in the right section

and i would volunteer for mod status but i would probably just go mad with power

we can pm the mods ? really ? ....ok i'll do that ...


When was the last time xqueenofscotsx was on here ? id like to know her breast size in detail

Groan...

In honesty, i have the contact details of the few people on this site that have actually taken an interest in, and if the forums become any more strict, and threads continue to be locked because of a few swear words here and there, or a difference in opinion now and again, then what is the point?
