Posted March 13, 201411 yr Moderator I've been away for a week and have come back to people just posting random workshop questions in the Bar and New Members Sections. Given that I keep getting ribbed for being a bit strict on just removing them, I can't be ar5ed to clean them up anymore so my new plan is just to add people who do it to my ignore list forever.
March 13, 201411 yr No ribbing from me DDT, other forums I'm on have people managing to use it correctly. However, I've noticed Cynics been moving and locking threads too so you aren't alone. If I was a mod, I'd happily play boss too, ooooh the power, ha ha!
March 13, 201411 yr No ribbing from me either. There are sections created to make it easier for using. Not exactly astro physics!
March 14, 201411 yr No ribbing from me here, you mods do a great job. How many "active" mods are there? And is it enough to manage the site.
March 14, 201411 yr Moderator would moving the workshop section to the top of the forum not help.. probably would for workshop questions, then we'd get allsorts posted in there too. Having said that, q's about bike fixes are the reason peeps stumble onto this site. its still No1 when I google yam stuff
March 14, 201411 yr Mr N, they say nobody is indispensable, but for what you do to the good of the forum I think that you are. Why, only last week I had "A go" at a new member for his presentation, and bleeding eck did I get it in the neck from the members, even a Mod. Yet other members say a lot worse and no-one even comments.
March 15, 201411 yr Author Moderator Blimey, I didn't want to turn my rant into an appreciation society but thanks for your nice words Mike. I went to Center Parcs in Cumbria. It was very nice for an early break.
March 15, 201411 yr DT, I would say that's a definite thank you for your sterling work in keeping the forum from becoming a complete madhouse, well if you discount Noise - Bippo - Up-yours - Andrew - and not forgetting Foamy who will be along shortly with a completely inappropriate video of some sort !!! All it takes is a few people to ignore the forum rules to turn it into anarchy. From me tho Thanks mate.
March 16, 201411 yr What could be more relevant to this thread than watching a parrot ride a roomba down a hallway whilst saying "bye bye!"...
