291882 2004-11-15 01:29:00 I agree, get tough.

I also think PF1 may have run it's useful course now, it is not helping many people really these days. Perhaps close it down for 6 months or so.

I mean look at the thread this morning by MattG asking for advice, a shambles.

Then we have this;

>>The only reason I can think of for being a little more strict is the sometimes inane and belittling comments made to newbies.

and this from the same source this morning;
>>C'mon man! It wasn't that bad! I made a bit of a dig, sure - just because I infer that the guy acts like a girl's blouse isn't so offensive.

Jeez.


As Raymondo said, "what the hells happened to PF1?"

291883 2004-11-15 01:29:00 I would say that you're not tough enough. Sure, I've done my share of muck slinging, but only out of frustration. Had I not been abused / attacked in the first place I wouldn't have gotten angry with others. Also I think that you'd only need to be tough in the short term as people learn the behavourial parameters. POTUS (5276)
291884 2004-11-15 01:49:00 Sorry to post twice, but I've only just seen this, MattGs' farewell from his first and last post:

>>I won't be back here again and I won't be buying your mag any more! What a bunch of kids! Goodbye!

All this stupid illiterate behaviour doesn't reflect at all well on PC World. I wonder how many mag sales have been lost because of PF1?

I first posted here the first or second week that PF1 started up in September 1998.
Behaviour has never been so bad as it is now.

291885 2004-11-15 02:19:00 Agree. There is a code of conduct posted by Bruce Buckland. Not everyone respect the C.O.C. Moderators are not able to control the threads nor are they respected by users and as a result I am only visiting this forum occasionally instead of daily.

I am still a subcriber and PC World is still my favorite magazine but I don't find the PF1 forum as useful or as friendly as it used to be.

Then why on earth do you and others lash out ? This is the basis of the problem. Only a few do it but it spoils this Forum.

I have to say Terry, IMO that is starting to sound like a Good idea to me, instead of 6 months make it more like an year ( so some people can get over Press F1), & not to tell any one that the plug was pilled?
