On a separate, more personal note, as a moderator, I tend to be a lazy, surly, asshole of an American. I eat ten cheeseburgers a day and fart George W Bush bumper stickers. I ignore all the problems the forum has, and I never ban anyone that should be banned. I ignore blatant violations of the T&Cs when long-standing members are concerned. I am -- in fact -- a virgin. I'm biased, and I don't care. For all intents and purposes, I am incompetent. Since I was elected, I have done nothing but purposefully hasten the eventual downfall of this forum. I have a stick up my arse, but yet am not tough enough on the bad apples. And, perhaps most importantly, I am in the wrong time zone.

Welcome to the thankless job of forum moderation. Hopefully now you can at least appreciate why I ignore you.

I think Uncle Bruce's original point has just been very successfully proven.

I'm sure that DialUpBorg has already been banned at least twice under his previous usernames including Andre1234 and centralfan345

If people don't give a damn about the presentation of their contributions to the forum, why should anyone pay any attention to what they actually have to say?


Exactly, James. I firmly agree.

I think it's time we asked Uncle Nick to add his view here ...

Nick ...?

The view of an outsider here. I've been lurking here for a few months, and I've never seen a forum with as much bickering and in-fighting as this. Shocked Maybe if people were last confrontational and stopped jumping on people for spelling, grammar and any other attributes they don't like at people, then the forum may be more popular and friendly.

And I think some people take themselves a bit too seriously. Its only a forum. Very Happy

Not a lot of point, Bruce.

The soderators have made it patently clear that they couldn't care a twopenny toss, so why the heck should we?

If Asa really believed in what he said a couple of pages back, he'd have shut the place down, rather than simply ignore the problem. After all, he was quick enough off the mark getting rid of The Lounge when he thought it could have been a problem to him.

I'm coming to the view that they just keep the place going as an extraction of the urine, for their own amusement; not from any, so called, interest in what's being discussed.

Just let it be, mate, just let it be. The odd thread might get closed, the odd user will have their PM service removed as a bit of a laugh, the odd comment might get ignored, the odd idiot might be kept on for their amusement value; but I think it's the "usual suspects" who are now being laughed at by the sad few, so it simply isn't worth the bother.

Well said.

If those in charge can't be bothered then perhaps it's time the management was shaken up somewhat.

I am somewhat annoyed that the moderators and administrators have actually stated that they don't give a crap about what happens on this forum. If they don't do anything, it'll just get worse and worse.

I really don't see why they are moderators if they cannot be bothered to do anything about troublesome posts/users etc.

Perhaps employ some people who DO care!
