| 291953 | 2004-11-15 22:05:00 | Hmm... I think you have a point Bruce about the potential for many to become pricks, but I too have the "potential" to be one of them..... ;-) Personally I'd say why not give it a shot and nuke it if it doesnt work out..... |

| 291954 | 2004-11-15 22:06:00 | I too like the interface we currently have, i have never been great on change at any level. and as far as reregistering, id stick with beetle, why change for change's sake for me? wouldnt be the same without the name, pf1 wouldnt be the same if some people changed their names. the only thing i think id be disapointed in is, lack of post count, but mine is to remind of how many problems i had, to get this far, to remind me of my years with the lemon, and the woe i had. including to remind me of the amazing help and guidence i have had from you guys here on pf1, and to also reflect the many stuff ups and learning i have had on the way to where i am now, and of course quite a few OT posts, replys. The mods in my opinion should have been here a long time ago, but hindsight is a great thing, and really i was thinking if i had never started training i would never have needed a comp and would never have known most of you guys. scary thought. PF1 will get by, and the regulars and the supporters will stick with it, and the rest may slowly decline, hopefully the change does not lose the original essence of the place and the help, guidence and chuckles we have here. beetle |

| 291956 | 2004-11-15 23:18:00 | I think you'll find POTUS, that we mods have contributed a lot less to problems here than say people who start idiotic threads winding up other users. The ice is thin, and your blades are sharp. | Biggles (121) | ||
| 291957 | 2004-11-16 00:07:00 | I was only concerned about the bad language. This forum is riddled with it! Certainly not PG! If you want to appeal to your full range of readers you'll have to sort that out. You will need more to fix the problems than a couple of volunteer mods and new software. But I'm sure you won't like that cristsism. |

If you want to appeal to your full range of readers you'll have to sort that out. I quite honestly think that the content of what people say can be/is a lot more potent than the occasional 'sh*t'. We are all either mature adults or mature teenagers, so I think one thing that would fix everything is if we could just overlook a post we didn't like, rather than getting angry and abusing the other person. But I guess you do have a point - sort of. Perhaps the mods could think about a swear word filter, but make it mild - I don't think things like "bugger", "screwed", etc should be banned. There are some people that are easily offended, and we don't want to ruin the forum for them. But there are also people who would get offended when their "Oh bugger, my screen exploded!" got censored. I personally have not noticed any overly bad language, but obviously POTUS has, and we want the forum to appeal to him, don't we! > You will need more to fix the problems than a couple of volunteer mods and new software. I personally think getting rid of WTF fixed a lot of our problems. Mods and a 'report bad post' feature will fix all the problems I see today. Except of course for those who should rightly be called 'pricks' - people like p_queen (or whoever that really is). George |

I think that starting a war with me over the use of the word "prick" when I have have to put up with so much ..... annoyance ... from some of you in the past few months is verging on the incredibly petty and NOT very helpful at this point. You yourself, with this ridiculous thread: pressf1.pcworld.co.nz don't exactly have the track record that is going to make me take any criticism from you very positively. Thanks for you very helpful tips on how none of the work several people here are trying to do to help things improve here will do any good. You have no idea how wonderful it is to put in hours of work dealing with this stuff only to have helpful comments like that. You have no idea how great it makes me feel, when I have gone out and advocated a change to new software that will offer us both improved user and moderation features, to hear that it will do no good. It really makes my day. Thanks a bundle. I guess I keep my potty mouth in check next time. |
