Gone But Not Forgotten
ok, I hate doing this type of post, but there you go, sometimes things need saying.
Recently I've noticed quite often when a new member posts a few people will respond with something along the lines of 'hi [insert banned members name here]'. I want this type of post to stop. Simply because sometimes the wrong person is targetted, and TBH any new member reading that will be put off posting anything. If you have concerns about it pm me or one of the moderators.
Personal attacks on other members must stop. This includes the snidey comments I read every now and again aimed at other members, posts picking up on spelling mistakes and stuff like that (apart from the obvious ones).
From now on, anyone getting banned will be banned for good. I do have tools available to stop banned members re-registering, I just haven't used them in the past properly, but I will from now on. Having said that if anyone gets banned it will be a joint decision by the moderators and me, rather than just me (unless theres a reason that can't really be argued with).
Unlike a few years back, I don't have as much free time now, and I honestly don't have enough time to keep coming on and settling stupid squabbles which shouldn't have been started in the first place. If you want an argument with someone, then take it to PM or email please, so that everyone else doesn't have to read it.
I know some of you might think i'm being petty with this type of post, but it's either calm down or I'll close the board. For anyone who doesn't know, the board was set up when Channel 4 closed their forum with about 24 hours notice (about 5 years ago - can anyone remember exactly?). I set it up, initially on a free message board, so that people had somewhere to go when CH4 closed. It has now arrived to where it is now, which I think everyone will agree is much much better. Although it costs me around £100 a year to run, and my time of course, I have never asked for a penny towards the upkeep, and don't have annoying adverts all over the place, pop ups or anything like that to help with the cost. I'm not complaining, nor do I mind paying for it, but I don't think asking people to act as adults rather than 5 year olds is that much to ask in return. If you don't like the few rules we have in place, then go elsewhere.
Anyway thats my moaning post for the year over with
