| 235654 | 2004-05-11 09:49:00 | I check into here every day, as most of us regular ones do, even if I don't post a lot, I help where I can, and ask questions about things I need help with. I am of the same opinion as someone else said, if something is said that is flaming someone, what is wrong with just ignoring that post. Usually with no body biting, that person gives up as without being answered, what is the sense of arguing. Just my .2c. I see for's and against for moderators, but it doesn't worry me as I don't think it concerns me, as long as F1 stays here, I am quite happy. You wouldnt believe how much I rely on F1, and I can honestly say, regardless of what you do Bruce, please just keep f1 up and running, as I for one would surely be lost without it. Any time I want to know something, or have a problem this is the first place I come, and I am not made to feel stupid about asking a question that maybe I should know. I know it has ups and downs, but would of thought that is normal procedure with any type of message board. Thanks everyone for helping me when I need it. Now I will put my head back under my wing, and leave this thread to more experienced people. Cheers |

| 235656 | 2004-05-11 10:26:00 | well graham L has summed it up nicly tho i wouldn't have been so nice ]:) this forum as so few flames (real flames not those midly warm dicussions you call flames) that i wouldn't even bother with any more mods. this forum is so placid which is kinda nice. most of the flamers tend to get bored and go else where. |

| 235657 | 2004-05-11 10:40:00 | Yeah, want to view a real flamewar? Go visit Centerpub (www.centerpub.com) well known for about 100 flames a day. | KingWave (5517) | ||
| 235658 | 2004-05-11 10:51:00 | thanks for the link kingwave... although all this voting got me wondering... to quote Jesus Jones... Include me out. I also have zero votes for anyone as mods. What I'd like to see is the resident writers for pc world NZ, ie Juha,Geoff etc spend a little time in the forum. It might make me subscribe! instead of buying my copy of the best new zealand IT based mag in NZ. God I'm sad enough to quote some of the "jokes" that are printed in the mag. :) |

| 235659 | 2004-05-11 14:02:00 | What an interesting thread! It's a damn shame that it comes to this, that the Moderators we have have to be put to ransom, so to speak . It's a crying bloody shame that an international audience that PressF1 is exposed to can see us (us, World champs in so many areas, behaving like a bunch of spoilt pratts . <dig begins here> Persons like WTF, with It's bluddie ridiculous username is one that needs to have been drowned at birth rather than let It have access to a computer . It's somewhat full of knowledge, but far fuller in itself which It displays by constantly adding to threads It so-calls despises . The meaningless drivel from 'persons' like that is what degenerates this forum . <dig ends here> If it came to a vote, I'd go with someone like Chilly - his young years belie his experience, cool calm manner and insight . As much as I love Suzie Bee, I think she's too much of a mother figure - no vote . Jen C - too harsh for this puppy GF - Too analytical, no person within Greg s - far too beyond this realm LOL :D |

| 235662 | 2004-05-11 16:52:00 | I've been away from Press F1 for 6 weeks (travelling & stuff) I come back to find fights. Normal fights here are normal arguments between the same people.They're pretty harmless & we're used to them. But now it seems there's a bunch of new people ( started in April ) who have a slagging-off agenda which doesn't relate to asking or answering computer problems but merely making smartass or sarcastic comments. Fortunately, Bruce has now banned the obvious major offenders. I suggest their re-incarnations also get reported, as it's pretty easy to recognise the same garbage from the same people. That's up to the PF1 people to do so. Bruce has other stuff to do. WE GET THE WEBSITE WE WISH TO HAVE Yes, it's fine to say just ignore snakey & mean comments about long-term posters who don't deserve them. Or to others who might. That's easier said than done...when it doesn't affect you... I'd suggest we all wake up & report the snakey stuff when it first occurs, instead of sitting back & waiting until it gets worse. Yes, it sounds like school prefects. Well, so be it... Emotions come into this, of course. And here I put my pitch for metla Metla, you are impulsive & explosive & at times OTT. Sometimes you type before you think long-term. That can be obvious.... You also give an amazing amount of good information. And you have a wonderful sense of humour which at times makes me laught out loud. Obviously, you can't leave. What would we do without you to keep us awake & laughing.? |

| 235663 | 2004-05-11 19:29:00 | As one who has of recent spend considerably LESS time here than I did before largely due to the unpleasantness of a *certain* poster ..........I can say that the advice to 'ignore' unpleasant posts is kinda hard to follow .......one tries but its human nature to want to hit whatever bites you, well you may ignore it initially but hey thoughts of ........well the *Grrrr* kind keep rolling around in your head and sooner or later you will succumb to wanting to respond to the *W$@ker*............anyway.......moderation....... .everyone seems to be focusing on some particular *moderator* sitting in judgement etc........difficult.........is it possible to do it another way........for example have a login page where each user can go to vote on another user, thus after some time/number of votes against that user the *bad* person gets removed ?.......of course who logged in and the number of votes cast by each coudl be recorded and perhaps even limited to one vote per user......... some more thinking along this line maybe productive.......in this way no single person gets pressured to make the right moderator decisions and everyone gets their say....... |
