The big stick.....
« on: 29 August 2008, 00:07:30 »

Following some very public as well as out of public earshot discussion, it may well be that 'the big stick' may have to come out to play as there are more than a few who appear to be simply extracting the urine....

Play nicely, or more than one or two will need to be on the naughty step for a while.

b) losing post count

Just an opinion but it seems people are hell bent on gaining the next name...lord...barron..demi god....constant poster.... ::)

Maybe either simply not include welcome posts too there post number or just do away with titles.

Seems bizare that admin are having too get stressed over this. :o

As you guys have the stats that we don't ... is this a "star chase" across the board .. or just peeps trying to get to 250 so they can use the sales/wanted ???

If the latter then the 250 limit becomes pointless unless "welcome" posts are treated like "test" posts and don't count. Same treatment would also stop the "Star chase".

Absolutely no problems welcoming new members.   Just check the date lines and ensure you do not a) dredge up or b) sheepishly follow on a thread thats dustier than that Toot And Come In mummy person....     ;)

I don't often go in this section either, you can't tell from looking if it is new or old, till you open it. Look how many times peeps get caught out in General chat with a post that has been brought up from years ago, i know cos I did it once :-[

Its not hard to scroll back the previous posts on any particular thread - to see the persons name, perchance? - and see WHEN they were posted surely?

I generally say hi to the newbies as they arrive. I think the complaint is the people playing catch up.

A suggestion was made tonight to make it a gain free area, all I can say to that is I am all for it.  Those that do it for will stop saying hi and those that dont will cary on

Have said it before and will say it again, I talk alot, my phone bill this month proves it.  Total duration  0024:58:08

Mike, there is nothing wrong with upsetting the admin, it proves they are human......

do us a small favour Mike, pop down to page 300 in general chat and dig up an old thread, then we can all see how understanding they are  ;D ;D

Given some of the off forum comments by some admins, perhaps not the best choice you may make at the moment....   ;D
