| 235624 | 2004-05-11 03:02:00 | So be it. If the moderators insist that the answer to the Aroc and crew situation is for me to leave rather then for them to do the job they take responsibility for then I shall move on. I have to admit I had a heap of fun and enjoyed the sharing of ideas, knowledge, questions, answers and the personalities that make up PressF1. Enjoyed ruffling many a feather along the way as well....LMAO. PressF1 I salute you all. Meh…..the melodrama is killing me. |

| 235625 | 2004-05-11 03:23:00 | sorry to see you leave..... /rant waring! I usally dont get involved in threads about abuse and such like but in this case I do think that Metla has a point. in the other thread he says "In that case moderate the place better,and no its irrelivent if you cant read em all,get more people if need be." from where I am sitting BB has over looked htis part of his post and simply defendeds himself with the "we cant read them all....." with all due respect BB that is crap and you know it!!. Metla himself has pointed out that you should "get more people if need be", this has been brought up many times before, I know that you dont get paid to look after this forum but sevral times it has come up that we could have more moderators selected form the users themselves. I feel that the way this board is run makes PCworld look bad and it makes IDG look bad. lets get more moderators and lets get then now!. /end rant |

That is not what I said. Aroc has been banned by me, twice. Others have been banned too. |

| 235628 | 2004-05-11 05:16:00 | Bye bye metla, it was nice having you around :) Another person (Number 3) bits the dust & left due to abuse or other reasons I wonder how many other regulars will leave? |

| 235629 | 2004-05-11 05:20:00 | This has never been a moderated site . It has been run on the, perhaps excessively hopeful, idea that people could be trusted to behave in a reasonably mature way . My personal view is that children should learn some minimum rules of social behaviour, if not at home, then at kindergartens, or schools . The complaint here seems to be "we can't be trusted to behave ourselves, so it's IDG's fault because they haven't stopped us" . It's not . It's not Bruce's or Robo's fault . It's the fault of a small number of people who hide behind pseudonyms and abuse others . This is inane, immature behaviour . Some of them are so-called "grown-ups" . :O I object to abuse, tantrums, more abuse, then page after page of "you started it", "didn't", "did so", "waah, waah" ad nauseum, which is infantile . It's not entertaining . It is stupid . It's a total waste of time . "IDG should employ full-time moderators"? Rubbish . They've got magazines to produce . This behaviour does not reflect badly on PC World . It reflects badly on those who behave badly . |

| 235630 | 2004-05-11 05:30:00 | I agree that the site seems to need more moderation . Which as robsonde points out, raises the issues of appointing mods from within the PressF1 group . We have looked at this in the past and been reluctant to go down that path because it raises the whole behaviour bar and the needs for hard rules to a new level . Anyone appointed mod then has to justify their behaviour that much more, and well, things do get messy as anyone who has frequented other forums will know . You end up with massive arguments where users keep holding various mods to account for decisions made . But, if that is what is needed then we can do it . I've investigated the means for it and hopefully worked out how it's to be done . I would propose a trial of this, with 2 or 3 moderators . I have some views on who they should be but if anyone has strong views on the subject - speak now . |

| 235631 | 2004-05-11 05:42:00 | > PressF1 I salute you all. Jeez I hope I haven't started a chain reaction or something. Next Graham will be leaving when he reaches 5000posts :^O What me and metla are trying to say is that we made a killing off our broken glass business (pressf1.pcworld.co.nz) and are now retiring on the profits (several million to be exact). We're off to the bahamas to avoid the IRD. Now hurry up and pack your bags metla, the secrets out!! |

| 235632 | 2004-05-11 05:44:00 | I would like to put foward Graham L for the job as he always thinks before acting and spends alot of time online. | robsonde (120) | ||
| 235633 | 2004-05-11 06:01:00 | Personally I don’t think the site needs any more moderators . There are only the few ill-mannered, smart Aleck, brats that I’m sure Bruce and Robbo are perfectly capable of handling . It’s just a matter of one warning and your out if you don’t behave . I also endorse Graham L’s post 100% . |
