I have a cunning plan.....why does the forum not operate a '3 and your out' system.Anyone stepping over the line 3 times gets banned.That way the moderators can moderate without us having to wait ages on a reply and the forum remains healthy and interesting,plus we get to see more of the 'Debs and Jools happy hour' Everyones a winner.

Ian,

Not a bad idea, but cant say that I have seen any racism on here, that does surprise me, just people venting off some steam now and again.

As for happy hour, I'm more selective who i drink with, so I'll not bother..............cheers!

Great idea.. and with 3 moderators checking we should keep things on a more even keel.  In reality, it has been VERY rare that I have ever had to intervene or modify anything, healthy debate keeps the forum alive. Unfortunately, as happened recently, it went off the rails a bit and I wasn't around to see what was going on.  With the new moderators (you're doing a great job guys!) that shouldn't happen.

Oh, and anyone that gets banned, can we have a public stoneing at the summer equinox??

The quotes remind me of "The Life of Brian"  famous phrase "What have the Romans ever done for us?

Just think, moderate not suffocate,don't spoil a good thing which this forum is and can be.

Will this mean that all the decisions for the '3 and out' will be taken by the '3 that are in' ?  Grin

I HAVE BEEN READING THIS FORUM FOR ABOUT 18 MONTHS.  Huh

ONLY UNTIL YOU HAVE PLACED MODERSATORS DO I NOW FEEL READY TO POST. SOME PEOPLE HAVE HAD GENUINE HONEST QUERIES OR EVEN GOOD IDEAS, BUT THEY HAVE BEEN RIPPED TO SHREADS BY OTHER WHO HAVE TOO MUCH TIME ON THERE HANDS AND TOO CRUELER THOUGHTS. I MOVED OUT HERE TO GET AWAY FROM CATTY BRITS WHO FORVER PUT PEOPLE DOWN BUT HOOOO WHAT DO I SEE, HERE THEY ARE. I KNOW WHAT'LL HAPPEN NOW......WAIT FOR IT.......SOMEONE WILL COME BACK WITH SOMETHING SARCASTIC AND IRRELEVANT TO THIS POST!!!
I AM A MEMBER OF OTHER FORUMS WHO ALL HAVE MODERATORS, SOME EVEN HAVE ADMIN ADMINISTRATORS, TECHNICAL ADVICE AND DESIGN,  AND NOTIFICATION ASSISTANTS.  I WISH EVERYONE SHOULD STOP MOANING, THERE SHOULD BE SOME PROTECTION. THESE PEOPLE DO IT FOR FREE, SO AS THE SAYING GOES "IF YOU HAVENT GOT ANYTHING GOOD TO SAY........"  Roll Eyes

I think that everyone will agree that the forum does seem a much nicer place than before the temporary shutdown.
I for one will welcome you and I am far too happy with my life to upset anyone at all. Smiley
And as for irrelevant comments, how do you spell cactusses?

Jaz,
     with respect to your comments as a new member, I think that this Forum is a lively and active place to give and receive comments ,advice and opinions, whether you agree with them, or wish to challenge, which normally you can do, and as they say " if you can't stand the heat stay away from the fire". With one or two exceptions the moderator/ors in my opinion have done a good job to date to keep things going, nothing in this world is perfect.
We're back to the Forum again! "Thumbs up or down?" mine are up!!
                                                  
                                                                Old Nelson.

Hi All and our illustrious leaders,
Do I take it that the '3 and out' is now in operation? If so will the forum rules reflect this or is it a temporary measure?

GOOD POINT ABOUT THE 3 & OUT. IS IT IN PLACE?

I FOR ONE, AM GLAD OUR MODERATORS ARE ABOUT AND THANK THEM FOR GIVING UP THERE TIME!!
OFCOURSE ALL OPINIONS ARE WELCOME AND HOPE THAT THIS SITE WILL NOW BE A PLEASANT AND INTERESTING PLACE RATHER THAN WHO CAN PUT WHO DOWN FIRST!!
