James Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Can something please be done about this OVERUSED WORD filter. It's really getting on my nerves. I know it replaces 'W I N' with 'overused word', but I made a post about Stealth's W-I-n-c-h room and it says overusedwordch room!Gah! Surely warning people for using those words all the time would be simpler than adding it to the filter so even when they're being used in the correct context, they don't get changed?

Tom Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 also the w!nk.gif no longer works because it's replaced with overused wordk.gif... so it can't be found?:PYes James, surely telling us not to say 'w!n or fa!l' or warning is a more appropriate response to this?

I don't mean to be petty but it is slightly irritating for posts that aren't actually there to say FAAAAAIL or WIIN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Then people need to stop saying 'W.in' or Fai.l'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshC. Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Your wish is our command, god you lot are fussy Surely 'god' should have a capital 'G' to be God. Yes, I'm fussy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 If you view the word 'god' as a name, then it should have a capitalised 'G'. However, in the context that Mark used it it was an exclamation, not a name, thus it doesn't necessarily require a capitalised first letter.That said, religious types maintain the word 'God' should always have a capitalised 'G', but speaking in terms of linguistics this isn't always correct.

Theme Park bloke Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 I realise stricter warn guidelines were put in place earlier this year, but can I just ask that is there a time limit that your warn will go down after, if you don't step out of line or have it upped?

Will Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 Well let's just say that I've had warn of 80% for about 6 months and only in March did I get that warn removed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themeparkmad Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 Well let's just say that I've had warn of 80% for about 6 months and only in March did I get that warn removedDon't forget though admin are probably really busy with forums and future developemnts of the site.I am sure admin have more important things to do than remember when our warn needs to be removed! Don't forget - Admin and Moderators do not get paid! They are doing this because they want to!(I have a warn of 20% which had for a few days so I will give it 6 months then after that comment Will! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark9 Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 Juggling a job, education, moderation of the forum and the website as well as all the social things that we do means we do forget about warn stuff. If it's at 20% it really is nothing to be concerned about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theme Park bloke Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 I have a warn and am not concerned about it, all I was just wondering was, if there are rules in place applying a warn, are there any in place from removing it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 I don't know - like the admins say, they are soooooooo busy (which they are genuinely) and something like a warn isn't important. Which evidently would explain why it too so long for me to get mine removed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 Hey guys, any questions regarding warns are best directed to one of the team, instead of posting on here.ThanksMarc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welsh Boy Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 I just wanted to say that I love this forum and how happy I am that I have found a forum where no matter what my opinion is, it is never abused. Thank you all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 This is the first time I've been on here for a while. I have to say this layout is shockingly horrible :-) No offence to the person who made it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamY Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 Any chance the field for 'favourite park' in your profile could be open to type in like 'favourite ride', rather than drop-down?

Steveasaurous Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 I've been here a week now so thought I'd put my (very short) impressions down:Website is ace. It's bright, simple, easy to navigate, in short it does what it says on the tin, and it does it very well.Forums seem to have just about the right level of activity. I would like to see it a tad busier, but I'm sure that will come with open season. I can't say I've found it to be either really friendly or very intimidating, it's in the middle, it doesn't molly cuddle noobs but it doesn't discourage them in any way either, which is fine by me.So yea, keep up the good work!

Ricky Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Is anyone else finding that even though they have read all the new articles in each part of the forum that the 'new' doesnt turn to 'old' and oyu havet o do it manually? It's annoying! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheepie Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 Where has my post gone from a year or so ago about Forbidden Tomb/ Tomb Blaster stuff? I was looking around and wanted to read it for nostalgic value and it seems to have disappeared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
