whats going on

ern1e · 26-05-2009, 19:15

first of all this is not a dig at anyone in anyway,

there is loads of topics going off and back on subject again which is not a problem but about the ones that do and nothing done about it ie posts being put in the wrong forums that even i can spot that shouldnt be there and post being removed with out being told until we ask

Must agree theres been a fair few posts in the wrong places recently - I've moved a few myself but whilst it shouldn't happen if you spot one, PM one of that sections mods, they're easy enough to change.

If a thread goes completely off topic to the point where it warrants another thread, again its easy enough to split the thread into two. Again just OM the relevant mod.

Deleted posts, as far as I;m aware this was in only one thread that got somewhat out of hand, can't rememeber who deleted te posts but with such a bulk delete, its fairly obvious what has happened and a bit much to expect the mod concerned to PM everyone individually. Perhaps a post within the thread to explain that posts had been deleted and why would have been a good idea, but then that is likely to start a whole new discussion on the same matter so I;m not sure it would help.

Personally,I just look at the new posts and read through those I am interested in. Don't have a clue what Forum the posts are even in and don't care. If I need techie help then I will probably post in the right Forum but so long as the help is there (it always is) I don't much care.

i tend to only use the pub.... because it dont matter what you talk about in there.... and your allowed off topic too

makeitfit · 26-05-2009, 21:21

Off topic pah so what it's just a natural progression as I see it

this is the problem you seem to be online same as for toolbox which is good unlike some other mods that come online and have a moan and disappear for days on end,

i do understand having a family and work can take its toll on this sort of thing so even if we did pm the mod or mods in charge of the section how long would it take to get it sorted so in reality a reshuffle might be a good idea and this is not having a pop its the way i see things now

well its a point of view ernie but I can't seem many people volunteering for what can be a thankless task....given that the new owner has opted for minimal intervention I guess it is the way it is....

Do you believe that can/will last for much longer? seen alot of new & old members go over the last few months..

ern1e · 26-05-2009, 23:24

So do you think or is a need for change for the way we are modded (for a better word) here?
