Yeah fair enough if it cannot be applied to the forum and it's a technical thing.

I'm curious though : Why do you think swear words cheapen the forum, and not the dozens of under sixteen members who pay absoloutely no attention at all to where their fingers are going on the keyboard, do nothing but pick on others and pass stupid comments, and get away with it all?

We are not all stuck in your 1950's mentality towards the word 'shit'. We are, however, sick of kids squabbles driving the place into the muck. Everyone seems to agree on this yet nothing is ever done about it. I thought the majority was meant to win or something.

Just seems like really strange double standards. This forum looks cheap as hell, but swear words are certainly not whats causing that.

I never thought I would say this but the forums become to much of an easy ride. There is virtually nothing to fear from spending the day going from thread to thread derailing everything in sight. You might get an infraction point every now and then and - golly - a day or two of being banned from posting.

Heck, in the interest of fairness here I should have been banned a lot when I was at my worst but I wasn't really in retrospect.

I don't even know where the rules are. I was looking through the forums and couldn't find them?

Okay so basically these are our only rules..

1. Treat other forum members with respect, no insults. *Important*
2. Type posts properly and don't use text speech.
3. Don't post anything offensive.

"Offensive"? That should be elaborated on more.

And there is absolutely no respect on here.

Because you're part of the reason why this forum is knee deep in sh!te? I dunno. Guess. Don't try starting an argument in here.

Same side every morning. Hmmm, maybe that's why I'm always cranky.

MeMyselfAndI · 27-05-2010, 08:24 PM

Cranky?

Shasown · 27-05-2010, 08:27 PM

MM&I top tip of the day if you want to have a battle of wits with someone at least come armed.

andybigbro · 28-05-2010, 08:06 PM

I agree with those rules.

I do think we have good mods and admin. This forum does get out a hand quite alot though. Mods do have lifes and cannot moderate the site 24 hours.
For those that said Vicky isnt suited to be a mod, I disagree. I think she is one of the best moderators we have had in ages.

I must say though i do miss they days when it was the likes of Mike, Di2001, Amy etc.

bump

Braden · 22-06-2010, 07:38 PM

why did you just bump? :P

Smithy · 22-06-2010, 07:39 PM

Because of some of the idiot members who are getting away with everything recently, and I think someone said it should be bumped until it's in forced too

Erm, excuse me. I stated clearly that I was a major mod for last summer, whearas this year I would be travelling, so getting on here would be hard. The same with Marc and Sia. We did our jobs well last year, and yes we are not on often, it's because we have other things to do also. If you do not like the situation, how about talking to Mark or james without coming across as stroppy or bitchy, and see if they can sort out the issue you guys are having.
