Ryan 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. Well I know Seb had a massive clear-out deleting posts before..

Tom Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 That would've been nice to be re-posted in that awesome new topic that popped up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheepie Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 I know Tommy! I'm disappointed. I see no reason why it was deleted. I would understand if there was a specific reason why it was deleted but it took me absolutely ages to write up the behind the scenes stuff and personal experiences of the Terror Tomb. I would at least like it back so I could re-read it. It sounds pathetic but Chessington was a huge part of my childhood. Tom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted Users Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 Having a minimum post count to access chat might be a good idea considering the amount of trolls. Luke_A and Mer 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamY Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Why am I invisible to the forum today? I've posted quite a few times yet am nowhere to be seen on the 'Today's top 20 posters' list!Edit: I now exist, but have only posted twice allegedly!

Tom Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Posting only counts if it's in the on-topic sections I thought? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deleted Users Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 I know this was being discussed on chat last week at some point but I think a Banter section of the forums would be a good idea. It would provide a clearer definition of what mods think is acceptable in each part of the forums and should halt complaints about the forums becoming too dull, strict, etc right now. A post limitation to get in might be a good idea as well.Of course, this isn't an excuse for personal insults but rather jokes about rides, in-jokes and off the wall topics.

pluk Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 I really like this idea maybe a 100 post minimum to get inAlthough that could create its own problem, with people making B.S. posts in the main forum to get their count up to gain access!!So maybe a minimum rep would be better?

Deleted Users Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 I am not sure how complex the coding is but I am pretty sure you can make that forum section invisible to those who don't meet the requirements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 Can someone get rid of that stupid image amount restrictions please... It's bloody annoying when you have to triple post one section of your trip report... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicky Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 100 posts is quite high. For example, I've been around since December and I am not at 100 yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 And pluk - A rep count is a bad idea seeing as some members who post well don't get repped, whilst I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pluk Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 And pluk - A rep count is a bad idea seeing as some members who post well don't get repped, whiTrue that, not a fan of the whole idea tbh, all feels a bit clique to me.

Pickles Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 You may feel like that but for some members they get warned a lot for stuff like banter. So this is simply a solution to the problem so rather than saying that think about how its would improve relations on the forum and how much tidier the forum would be.

Pickles Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 The point is there's a point where banter become insulting and the mod's are trying to find a way to stop the insulting one's so just letting the banter happens reduces the atmosphere because some people make it insulting.

Yet all of it is being deleted regardless, and that does reduce the atmosphere... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themeparkaddict Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 Just a quicckieeeee.I haven't been on here in approximately 29642912 years, but when I came back GOSH IT'S AMAZING. The little notification blob thing and the chat - oh and the statusey and comment boxes. Hello Facebook, minus the spammy ads, add in some amazing people.Good job, well done (now read the last four words without the patronisation that seems to be there, but genuinely isn't).I'm now off to enjoy the site some more.

Pickles Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 It might be a thing to think about the forum rules in relation to threats. Someone is racist in chat and gets banned, someone threatens someone isn't banned comes back a little bit later and then gets banned because it's publicised on the forum. Maybe do a perm ban for threats as they are quite serious and I do feel let down with how that situation was handled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark9 Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 My main thought on this is whilst Sheepie is on holiday we trial two new moderators a week. This will give them a chance to mod the forum and us the chance to see how they go about it. obviously, I think the forum should decide on who takes these positions. I'm sure us on the mod team have ideas who we want, but we'd like to hear you guys views first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidders Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 Mark's suggestion seems like a fair one, so at the discretion of whoever's in charge (Admin?) I think a Moderator trial would be a worthwhile investment of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 Right, I'm contiuning this from chat earlier as apparently serious discussions about the forums seem to be frowned upon by other members...There are VARIOUS issues on the forum which need to be addressed in order to create a much more stable and happier environment, indeed, let's take the case of Kevvy K recently...So a new member comes in, and when other members try to correct the constant errors and actual breaking of the rules, they are actually told to leave them be and of course, it results in even MORE friction because nothing has been done about it... Indeed, a lot of arguements on here could easily be prevented before they even started if mods got involved earlier in these things as they got more heated up...So it all culminated on the evening of this with an eventual banning which should have happened a lot earlier considering how often the rules (that we are ALL meant to follow, be with 12, 20, or with any personal issues) were broken... Of course some exceptions can be made for dodgy spelling, but constant flagrancy of rules without just reason should be looked at in a lot much depth...So I look to the mod team page and am actually surprised that we only have 4 mods and 2 admins on here... Surely this is too small a number for a forum of this size which hopes to develop further over the years into something different and more elegant?What happened in chat was when some members wanted to take this discussion, the other members (including mod/admins) wanted the discussion to go to less serious topics... Constantly... This is saddening to see when the mods do need to listen to members and indeed vice versa... There seems to be a massive gap between the mods and members in regards to involvement which is something that was promised recently but seems to have not happened...Respect should be earned... Not given... This applies to EVERYONE and perhaps the newer 'nicely nicely' approach should become much more middle ground... Constant rule breaking equals a warn... If this is ignored, a 3 day ban... And so on and so forth... Again exceptions can be incorporated depending on the situation...So really, a lack of mods who will get involved in the nitty gritty seems to be lacking (by their own admission), so perhaps introducing 2/3 more mods who will get involved and not sit back and move on from serious discussions and the like would help ease the workload of the mods... In the end then, more mods and respect needs to be addressed by everyone on the site... Nipping potential problems in the bud is an absolute MUST for all mods (and indeed other members) so that these situations stop and everyone can actually at least TRY to get along...Mark's idea is fab btw... Make it happen... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickles Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 Would have to make the selection process fair though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
