On a serious not I truly think this thread has accomplished what it was set out to do which was to get a feel for how this affects the board overall. At least Ive been able to draw some conclusions from it. Think its also opened a fair debate regarding it as long as your read betwen the other. May have even lightened up the tension a bit I hope anyway...
You could un-moderate JP, that would lighten up the tension. That or comedy-sack Lynx. :naughty:Quote:

This apllies even if once as its a step backwards. If that element isnt present all is fine I think. Would think the regulars would want some new mates anyway.
Think we should step in on occasions in the Lounge (as free as it is) or other when this takes place and post within those threads on a thread to thread basis. Im sure the regulars can see when the line is drawn also and know why this is....
I wasn't confused, I said that you were talking pish from the very start.Quote:

Especially since we'd already had one incidence of a Team member saying that even tho' instruction to a member via PM said one thing, the team actually meant something entirely different.
I'm sure you see my point :smilie4:
Yeah right, the fact that most of the noobs just post five times in order to gain access to the bittorent invites section and never come back again is our fault completely.Quote:

You're a bit harsh to The, now and again :dabs:Quote:

It can't be a fair debate if the noobs in question refuse to come in here to pass comment. All it has done is publicly slapped wrists, without giving any particular reasons for doing so.
I personally think this laughable attempt of a thread has done nothing but increased tension in here. Not between the knobends and regulars, but by lowering what little respect there ever was for Mods.
You want a realistic view of how appealing this section is?
Do your own homework. Check the wonderful stats you guys keep posting of how popular this place is becoming.
While you're at it, bear in mind all the regs you're complaining about keep this place from gathering dust. If they stopped posting you would be left with lol threads, and introductions that turn to lol threads.
Why does everything have to be about luring in new posters, when you guys can't control the ones you already have here without asking for help? I've gotta admit Rossco has done great things for the board, but the majority of mods just seem to crave authority they will never receive in their own feeble life. Get a job as a security guard ffs, or just get laid. :ermm:
This thread sucks big gay al's jock strap, imo. :mellow:
Nice one, missie :)
