292002 2004-11-18 10:27:00 Going back to the beginning, I agree that the moderators are not tough enough. I also agree with Potus and Winston - new software aint going to do anything. This is a people problem and enforcement by itself will not fix anything.

The idea of a separate OT forum has some merit but if just a few were to breathe deeply and think before they posted a second forum would not be necessary.

As an aside, Post count has always bemused me. The only time I ever see it used is when a thread turns to worms and someone uses a superior post count as a form of "mine is bigger than yours so there." You don't need post count to tell you when you are getting good advice.

You want to define the topic.
(And did indeed - in finitum, it seemed. I applaud your energy)
So after reading fairway's post, my own again & then yours, I think maybe we should've all defined what we meant as "broke."
Seemingly, the details were different. But there was underlying agreement that PF1 is godzgift.
We may differ about technical/moderator tweaks, but obviously would hate to see major changes in the forum's make-up - merely an improvement in good manners.
Have I got it right?

292004 2004-11-18 11:56:00 Talking of Post Count, you'd better start preparing for the big 1000 Laura.

I didn't for my 500 and it was disasterous (pressf1.pcworld.co.nz).

But I'm already planning my 750 and 1000 speech even now :D.

Actually, I'm not quite that crazy. Post count isn't important to me either. Yeah...

292006 2004-11-18 12:01:00 BTW ever six months or so every large forum tends to break down for a week or two.

People saying that the mods are not doing their job.
People saying that the mods are too strict.
People getting banned.
People coming back as aliases.

In the end the people make the forum :)

292007 2004-11-18 13:10:00 Thanks, George
Don't think I'll have a speech. (May not even notice)
But you did give me a chuckle in the small hours...

292011 2004-11-18 20:28:00 Yes Laura, I agree with you completely.

As to the original question? The fact it needed to be asked at all suggests a little more intervention is desirable. But not deleting threads. Editing or removing posts by a Mod is fine with me. Also suspending a member for a week. No harm done and a point is made.
