Gordon bennett, you turn your back for one moment!
A year or two ago, the amount of threads started and replied to in a single day took up no more than about 3/4 of a page...tops...Now it is usually going over into 2 and a half pages
It is no easy matter to read through everything that is written, plus I also like to put in advice or comments of my own too.
for instance, I never even read the council estate one!
But you guys also share a responsibility for policing the forum, I have not had a single complaint made officially about any of the threads or comments, and yet on every topic there is the 'Report to moderator' button.
There was the one guy who got badly slated for his spelling, the first I really knew about it was when someone started a general thread about the bullying on this guys thread...not one single official complaint.
I dealt with it retrospectively, and I believe he was booted off site for not registering with his real name, a shame that, but after the comments he had I doubt he would have bothered posting again anyway.
Take a look at this thread for instance, it has meandered all over the place, with lots of jokey one liners and some pretty aimless comments.
I agree with you about the nature of some of the spiked comments, I get fed up of constantly deleting swearwords, I delete no end of stupid one liners, if it wasn't for the fact that it highlights exactly what I mean I'd delete half the dross that makes up this thread, or more likely, because it takes so long to do, I'd just lock it.
And of course I also have fair reason to delete the whole thing, as this thread has nothing to do with window cleaning itself, it's just people coming on and bitching about the forum and how it is run.
If you have a problem, report it to the mods or admin, and then if it isn't dealt with, or you don't get a personal reply, then you really do have fair reason to moan.
I'll leave this thread untouched and unlocked, lets see how many more absurd replies and one liners it gets.
Ian
