Well it's not a major either way, but... generally I don't get too peeved with poor ettiquete etc, and usually the bad 'uns get the message sooner or later, or eventually get kicked. But also I've let my tongue slip a few times and have had it overlooked, so I wouldn't want to see folks 'condemned' on an occasional slip. The only reason I can think of for being a little more strict is the sometimes inane and belittling comments made to newbies - in my mind it's insulting and belittling. The mud-slinging between members doesn't worry me at all, apart from showing the world what a bunch of imature people our IT community comprises of. Example... you never see GF get into a name-calling row do you. So I see both sides, but the fact that the forum is currently moderated is basically good enough (for me). |

| 291876 | 2004-11-14 23:45:00 | Agree,with Greg S.But there again I've never been on the receiving end of some of the insults. | Neil McC (178) | ||
| 291877 | 2004-11-15 00:13:00 | Ok Blonde in control here....LOL are we agreeing its strong enuf or or not strong enuf? I think the control is fine, just the moderator is possibly not on PF1 as much as most of us (could be wrong) and so doesnt often pick up these threads as fast as could be, and theve already degenerated beyound control or help. and the perpatrators seem to pick this up. if i have, including others as well, and others know who he is, what else can be done? how much further can a mod go before its shut down time? just my opinion of course. but i dont feel at times this is enuf, we are scaring away newbs, as todays thread showed big time, all because of stupid bickering. beetle |

| 291878 | 2004-11-15 00:27:00 | Hi beetle When I said "agree", I meant "I agree, [the moderators] are not tough enough", and I think that is what was meant by the others who said it too. However, I think you may be making a valid point - some threads that have descended to a silly level of bickering and general stupidity run on longer than I think necessary - maybe the problem is that the moderators don't actually pick them up soon enough, rather than not being tough enough. But I imagine the moderators have a life outside PressF1. |

| 291879 | 2004-11-15 00:50:00 | I originally was going to disagree because I thought the moderators were waiting/hoping for either [1] the posters to soon tire of abusing and return to normal, or [2] waiting for people to email them to advise of what was going on. After reading from your replies that the moderators aren't always around etc, then maybe my above assumptions are wrong [again :D ] So guess you can count me as agreeing they're not tough enough |

| 291880 | 2004-11-15 01:03:00 | I think we need more moderation, in my opinion threads like the recent ones started by Jack about who the moderator is should have been locked the moment jack posted. And the OT threads that people start because a thread is locked and they dont get to voice their opinion along with threads like Stu saying goodbye should be locked or even deleted, all they do is stir ****. The forum is full of too much OT dribble, threads about fridges and goats may not be PC related by are constructive and informative, and in my opinion worth having. Threads about people saying their leaving or people begging others not to leave quickly develop into mug slinging, and should be deleted and ignored. | Pete O'Neil (250) | ||
