I didnt say i disareed.. as such.

I said i couldnt see the point, and that other things have been tried before and looked at.. (although granted, turning guest rights off one day a week hasn't)..


I do think though that the potential gain (and i'm not convinced there is any), just isn't worth the extra admin time either.


Im all for everyone continuing the debate though... its obvious that some people have strong opinions.

And others, like myself, havent.

True enough. The proposal itself has little merit, altho' it did have some and could have increased the participating member base a little. I really don't have a strong opinion about it either, truth be told.


I was mainly concerned about the team's decision making process. You'll know all about the devil's advocate position from you occasionally taking it up in t'drawing room, RF

[RealitY]

Well it seems youve made your point and I have as well. I really dont have anything to add to this as I dont see any point continuing this with you. I think Ive well made my point as to the time and energy that has been put in here to have the best of both and not need to lock additional sections of the board which as Ive stated I think would be unproductive. The topic starter I think as of yesterday had requesteed this to be closed. The fact of the matter is and still remains that you chose to throw the first insult...

Reality is NOT a minor Team member. He has spent a LOT of time working to improve this forum, to increase google hits and to draw new members over the past couple months (all the time i've been able to see what's going on).

Since working on this we've seeing an increase in registrations and guests viewing the forum. It's a good balance of opened/closed sections on the board in my opinion and I don't really see any reason to change what we've spent to much time tweaking.

EDIT: Also for your info RealitY has Admin and FTP on the site as well...

I agree on this.

I'd say Reality has outdone what I have done to FST as a
moderator.

[manker]

Okay then.

RealitY > Cornerpocket.

Seriously tho' - any statement coming from a team member means little if it's not backed up by the weight of reasoning behind a team decision and, as such, it is minor.

However, I can see the ambiguity in my prose that may have caused confusion - it might have looked like a slight on RealitY's moderatorship.

Perish the thought

[brotherdoobie]

I would also like to echo the sentiment,that Reality has done excellent work as a mod on our board (besides the deleting of post... mods censure far to often in my opinion. However, our forum is more lenient, then most.) Reality should be commended on the work he had done,regarding NZB files (I see you looked into them.. ) and NewsGroups in general. Not bad...for a respective newcomer to Usenet.

I however, took umbrage to this reply by Reality...as manker did.

what good would come from hiding pages from guests and google?

None so it will stay as is...

It reeks of contemptuousness and pomposity.There are members
here who like to think for ourselves. Everyone likes to feel respected
and when were not...we react (sometimes with a little to much bile...)

So, please try and remember respect is a two way street...the emphasis
is on the mods (position of authority...and all) and, not on the poster.
Aloofness is not a quality desired in a mod.

Peace bd

I thought that Afronaut = Guitar Slinger.
I'm confused now.

And no this isn't off-topic.

Couldn't he have done that notbeing a Mod, just wondering cause his section was suposed to be Newsgroups and as far as i know the only change has been an NZB posted designed by Rossco.

Drawing new members include seeding stuff with our URl name and seeding stuff we have done on sites, last time i checked you don't need to be a mod to do that.

Not trying to be harsh towards him just asking what he's done that he couldn't have done if he was just a normal member who had the ftp axx and the ability to seed,.

He wasnt only added to the team because we needed someone for the NG section

We dont need to post everything he has done so far. believe me he does a lot.
