the appearing offline thing
 

this is really annoying :nono:

people only do it to fool people into thinking they have some form of life and its especially annoying when mods do it because what if you have an important query or need to report something when mods appear offline :nono:

i dont actually care about this im just really bored so thought i would start a debate -throws a tomato at niamh-

Why would a mod appearing offline stop you from being able to report? :suspect:

*Continues to appear offline to give the illusion of having a life*

idk like if i wanted to pm you to tell you that your hair looks awful today and i needed a quick reply because it was really important how do i know if your online or not :hmph:

Oh come on Scott, we all know I don't have a life :idc:

:joker:

You at work niamh? :p

Yes, just doing a bit of invoicing in between posts :idc:

:suspect:

:amazed:

you are all mixed up here.

she should spank you

:laugh2:

Use the appeals forum if you have something "urgent" you need to ask a question about.

I won't be changing to appearing online just to keep a handful of members happy, we are entitled to privacy too. :hmph:

I just don't get the point in it.

Spiffing

I dont get how its 'privacy' unless youre trying to find filthy threads and dont wanna come across a HO~HO~HO~ :tongue:

Theres lots of reasons members prefer to appear offline.

I personally do it because a lot of the time i'm working and browsing the forum at the same time, I don't want anyone to see me online and send a message only to think I'm being ignorant and ignoring them when I'm not even at my desk.

She's actually naked right now :shocked:

:joker:

:laugh2:

great way to relax

Can we actually have an 'Appear Naked' option? That would be so cool :amazed:

I'm not sure I'd like to see many of the members naked.


-shudders-

But it says on whose online "last activity" so people can see if you're on the forum or not :suspect:



It's annoying if mods appear offline, if a thread goes way offtopic and there's no specific post to report, how are you meant to get them to close it, you don't know whose online to pm :nono:

just report any post from the thread Smithy :bored:
