I thought this was one of the better forums and actually do believe all in all the guys behind the scene do quite a good job.

Just to add, if you have a problem with a post then hit the report button or don't bring yourself down to their level and suck it up princess haha.

Hey muzzy, I've been on the pajero forum since 2002, looks like we have similar interest in cars. I think the pajero forum is the exception, not sure why but everyone there gets on very well. This forum is no worse than all the others I frequent but like the others isn't perfect but you get that, could be a lot worse though.

Somehow Skapinad has survived after all these years, corruption is good for some!

 

Report button usually works pretty good when the egos are flying

[tinkers]

First up, just remember we volunteer for this and we all have lives away from the forum and don't like to have to baby sit people who are supposedly adults.

 

Skap has had many holidays and if I had my way he would never return! But he likes to sook like a spoilt brat and others let him back in.

 

Since I have nothing better to do today I might do a clean out where needed, those that are not playing nice, be warned, there will be no warning since you don't want to play by the rules, neither will I.

 

If there is a complaint or a thread I need to look over please PM me or use the report button.

I agree

People need to pull their heads in

The keyboard warriors are happy to spout their tripe here but would be very quiet if they were actually face to face with the person

 

Now as far as speed of moderating

If you report the post... we see it... if you don't... since we don't read everything posted here every day we might not

I also work 10 hrs a day and have a life so can't be here during the day so only get a look in at night... I'm also on the West coast... so takes alittle longer to get to reading the forums than the east coast mods

 

Moral of the story... see a problem... report it !!

[tinkers]

Don't flatter yourself Skap, you're not the only member on the watch list. 

[Shiney005]

Nobody's allowed to like the mods. There's no button.

[Potta]

FWIW I think the mods do a great job for what they get paid.

 

I don't feel like there is a lot of bad behaviour on the forum either.

 

A lot of guys know each other away from the forum or through the forum, and sometimes the 'personal attacks' are actually playful banter, but those not directly involved may not realise.

 

Other times people just don't like each other, you get that when you have members from such a vast area of the country with different interests.

 

Other times guys really do like each other but don't like the other guys opinion, and because they feel they are mates can they can have a crack and say what they really feel.

 

In some ways that makes this a better forum than others I have been a part of, its more like a family than just an information source, and personally I spend a lot of time on here and have a lot of laughs.

DJ you might need to use the full version to report. PM me here or FB but I may have already hidden the post you want to report

Firstly, no one gets paid to look after the forum. Secondly, it's a loveless job because someone will always feel like they have been hard done by.

Constantly I am accussed of having no sense of humour, it doesn't phase me one bit because when I am moderating I have to take emotion and favouritism out of what I do, thats part of being a moderator. My 25 years in defence probably contributes to how my posts come across, I make no appoligy for it because I deal with facts. Baron Von Dark constantly lets me know I have no sense of humour, but I know him personally and he knows if I had a real problem with it I would tell him.

J.A.W. I'm sure your comment of favouritism is aimed at me because you copped a warning, but the fact is it was you people were complainiing about. I also read through a bunch of your posts, and all in all they are niggling and borderline.

Adam knows he is always skating on thin ice, as are some others, and if it comes down to breaking the rules, no matter who is is, do the crime, do the time.

Theres nothing wrong with a bit of banter, but sometimes it crosses the line. Once upon a time we had common sense, self control and responsibility for ones own actions, now they are super powers, hence the need for people to sometimes step in.

[REDA9X]

Wait, so the 3 reports you just lodged isn't you doing exactly the same thing?? Seriously

So its now gonna be a dobbers paradise, jeeze - checking on all that bitchin'.. 

..will really make the mods feel worth what they are paid..

Ok, I'll ignore the whingers, including the 3 reports you just lodged

& Reddo, I can take it on my chin, no worries, but just kindly, don't be like a biased ref, who listens to the whingers..

..or get the shits with being hassled by them,& pings on reflex, rather than applying the rules fairly,& without fear or favour..

[REDA9X]

Ok, lets just settle this right now. When you come onto the forum and male posts that upset a group of people, and that group of people complain, is that the same as then crying foul and saying everyone is picking on me and lodging 3 singular complaints? I think not.

Equity isn't about everyone being the same by the way.
