Stu - *I* would say that once you resolve the infractions issue and address the number of active moderaters you would break the back of the problems on the site.

What does ticking a box pink do? Apart from make you feel self-righteous? If a thread deviates too much, RTM it, let the mods decide.
Ok but it seems that the original conversation was getting lost
I am unable to tick any boxes btw as I am a freeloader

I don't pay either, you just need 1,000 posts or something. But anyway.


I think a new webmaster will solve many of the issues in here. No two people do it the same so let's see what you've got, Stu.

Not wanting to sound arsey, but if its not talking the thread off topic then scroll past it? No harm done, there's just as must effort neg'ing the post or more effort for that matter infracting it.

Anyway. I would like to see Karl227 get his account back. This conversation cropped up earlier in this thread. People do get attached to their names and are associated by it. It may not seem the be all and end all to some, but I would not like to lose my naffy name.

If this could be looked at for the genuine, long standing posters. I would be a happy bunny

I'm being inane and serious. Would you like everyone to have a serious hat while in this topic / forum?

It seems to me that we are simply debating a serious issue but keeping people and the topic 'light' by the odd bit of inanity. Which I always think as what people do when a group discuss something

We'll have to agree to disagree on that matter, maybe I'm too easy going? I don't see a problem in scrolling past a couple of off topic posts, i certainly wouldn't neg or infract a post if i didn't like it or it offended me, I'd be more inclined to report it to a mod.

DD is a more mellow version who has seen things very differently from this side of the fence.

I have a very, very small ***** you see and it grows by 1mm with every infraction - yet I am strangely unfulfilled, maybe I need to get a life too?

Well, there was me thinking the masses were all up in arms and had hundreds of things to complain about when in fact all you want are a few bug fixes, a handful of new moderators and a revised infraction system.

The new administrator should be well pleased that he was worrying over nothing. I hear he was last seen purchasing stab vests on eBay and investigating sources for various forms of weaponry that quite frankly have normally been reserved for Range Rover driving men in Hollywood films! LOL

Yes, that's about the size of it, Stu. People keep asking us complainers "If you hate the place so much, why do you keep coming back?" and it's simply because we remember how excellent it used to be before the "improvements".

Ive come to realise that IB werent the villains. That said; we dont want a revised infraction system, we want shut of it, but with re-empowered moderators and a decent admin that wont be an issue.

That's ok then.

You did sound rude, and like you were telling someone off. The site is about banter and 99.99% of threads that go over a page or so tend to go off the main thread.

I would have thought your 5 years of lurking would have taught you that....
