| 291905 | 2004-11-15 05:38:00 | Maybe we need more than one mod then, so all sorts of hours are covered not just when one mod is about. often too late, just to clean up the gore apparently. beetle |

| 291906 | 2004-11-15 05:52:00 | Darnit. I had a nice big post typed up about this subject, when I read moderators exhortations to keep answers to a simple yes or no/agree or disagree. Oh well... Ok. I agree that 'moderator' has to be tougher. I disagree highly with the idea of closing the forum down for a while. I, like a lot of others, have found a wealth of information here and I think it would be highly unfair to punish the many, for the transgressions (well-meaning or otherwise) of the few. Catweazle |

| 291907 | 2004-11-15 06:01:00 | A busy Forum I use ( 188 online right now) says this :- "DIYAUDIO GROWING PAINS Recently there has been a lot of discussion regarding diyAudio's growing pains. The thrust of the arguments have been twofold: 1) That the quality level of discussions is being watered down by off topic and garbage posts 2) That the level of peer respect is being worn down by impolite and inconsiderate users. To address these two concerns the rules below have been created to serve the community, and will be enforced by a team of moderators who care deeply about the health and future of diyAudio. FORUM RULES 1) No personal attacks or bullying. If you disagree with what someone is saying, then present a mature and intelligent case to prove otherwise. Malicious intent will not be tolerated. What you do over private email is one thing, what you do on our forum is another. 2) No offensive language. Sure, most of us use four letter words in normal conversation without too much thinking, but this forum is about thinking. Words are the clothes in which thought is dressed. And luckily, these threads are cheap (pun intended) so please choose language that reflects the quality of your ideas. 3) No threadjacking. Threadjacking is the practise of stealing another's thread by posting off-topic replies such that the original topic becomes diluted or lost. Off-topic posts, and even more importantly replies to off-topic posts, are welcome, but should also address the original thread topic. Some of the greatest discussions have come as a result of off-topic replies. If something interesting does arise that warrants further discussion then continue your discussion privately over email, or even better start a new thread and link to it. This rule will of course be used with discretion." Reads well to me. Folk get popped into a Sinbin for a week or so, with the reason posted on the Forum. As a result, no personal abuse of the sort under discussion. Cheers Tony |

| 291908 | 2004-11-15 06:06:00 | Chaps - that seems like a fairly clearcut consensus. A few points. 1] Second user mod will be activated in a very short time. 2] New forum software is being rolled out, hopefully before the end of the year if everything can be organised. It will be Vbulletin (http://www.vbulletin.com/). Anyone familiar with Vbulletin will know it includes post editing (yay), and private messaging (double yay). Once in place users will be expected to use private messaging to conduct ongoing perosnal "debates" that don't need to be in a thread. Especially if a mod asks you to do so. 3] I'm very keen on creating a "general " or "off topic" forum as part of the new set up so that F1 can get back to being more focused. |

| 291910 | 2004-11-15 06:24:00 | Excellent idea, Bruce. I was going to suggest an off-topic board, and perhaps, a complaints board. (For some reason, there is always someone willing to complain about something. This would give them a focal point, as well as being quite -ahem- entertaining to read.) Can't wait to see how the new forum turns out now... :D Catweazle |

| 291911 | 2004-11-15 06:29:00 | For some reason I am addicted to the interface of the current Jive forum, and it will be sad to see it go. But all for the best. Also, has anybody SEEN the home page of this forum lately! The rubbish topics have all but disappeared, to be replaced by actual helpful stuff. It's great, I'm happy. :D George |
