Did something happen last night, i'd forgotten all about it.

That's because I got you drunk first ::)
Whatever I was drinking last night gave me a sore bum this morning :o

Did you find the five incher I slipped in your back door? ;D
:o

I wouldn't have even felt that ::)

Where's me change? :(

I hear what you are all saying.....
But.
The Admins have done something to stop all this Madness that is happening of late.

I for one love a laugh and a joke and have spent hours on here since joining over 2 years ago, meeting some lovely people and hopefully some more. I have made friends with people as yet I have not met.
It really comes down to us as Members, if we can't behave like grown ups it will ruin this Once Brilliant Forum, then we will all be at a loss.

Hotel21 is one of the nicest Blokes I have ever come across (I am not arse licking in anyway) and that would be a great loss to lose him too.

I am sure none of us want this Forum to close or finish so lets pull together and let it carry on like it has been doing for the last two and a half years :y

Cheers
Daz :)

As usual Daz you have managed to put into words what I was thinking.   Brown nosing aside it is very easy to underestimate that huge amount of time that administering the forum must involve, aside from the burden of judgmental issues when things get close to the knuckle.  (not that I have a clue who or what this particular thing was about).

Lets not take it for granted hey :) :y

I do feel that drastic measures would only be taken if necessary - and it appears that in this case it was. I read it that only "certain" peoples PM's were being monitored so most should have nothing to be concerned about, surely?
I am a firm believer that when someone provides a service/resource, as the Admins do this forum, they hold the right to run it as they see fit and I do not believe that we are in a position to dispute that, whether the decisions appear to be well though out or not.

I have never run a forum but can imagine that it takes some doing, and for that alone I think the Admins deserve a large medal  :y

Am I barking up the wrong tree?  :-/

You may be one of the "certain people" yourself Platty.So may any forum member. :-/

As I have no friends, my inbox is always empty. My out box is always full, but no-one replies.

The PM facility is an adjunct of the forum. The forum is "owned" and run by the admins. By extrapolation, they also own the PM system and thus have every right to view the boxes. Common sense would dictate that such actions would only take place if something was being said which would bring the forum into disrepute (for example, if someone was sending obscene or abusive messages to other members).  The main purpose of the PM facility is to enable members to exchange information which would otherwise clog up the boards. If you want to send intimate and private details to another member, you should use email.

I don't think the Admins have enough time to be looking at loads of PM's do you? they were talking about the people that were involved in the trouble. As not nice PM's were sent as well as on the open forum.
I certainly am not getting into an arguement about anything but an old saying comes to mind. "If people don't like it they know where the door is" that really is top and tail of it in my view.  :y

I disagree. If folks start using/abusing the "Personal message" system the Admins have every right to monitor, delete, and ban.. if required.. as they see fit. It is "Their" site .. NOT "ours" ... there is no such thing as a "Private message".

What you should be thinking is very simple .......  just why do some idiots make the Admins have to go to such extremes ???. Don't have a go at the Admins.. support them as they are the ones that keep the forum going ... and they have enough to do without having to monitor PM's

Some folks seem to think that the forum is a place they can do what they want, others that it is some sort of democracy. It is neither.

And IMHO the majority like it that way.

Thank you to every Admin.

In Utopia perhaps..............but in reality Nickbat ................good old human nature means that people do all sorts of things ..............for all sorts of reasons..............sometimes because they can. :'( :'( :y
