What is it with these newbs you are unable to understand what the search function is for and think that they are the fountain of all knowledge?

And the Almighty has deleted my reply but yet the breach of Rule 1 is still there..................no wonder we've lost several decent posters on here recently

I thought we lost "decent" posters here because of the predominance of "non-decent" posters.

And the 'several decent posters' have obviously told us different things to what they've told you!! Their reasons for having a break from the forum may not be what you think.

Typical :frown:

Can you just please let me know why it's ok for you to call BS a brat? Just because he asked for a vulgar comment to be removed you assume he's some sort of child that needs to be talk to in this manner.:confused:

Might I just add, I didn't start this thread to piss anyone off or cause a row....:sneaky:

Hi hun, I'm not sure!:confused:....

I thought it best to ask CO out in the open, maybe not my smartest move but then again, she commented on my thread so that gives me some sort of right!:p

Nooooo - not funny.

MMC? Capn Hook? Steve P? gone?

No way. FK - can you pm me and point me to what sparked it off?

To be fair to butch - there are many posts above that he could do his trick on.

Re: Oh So Quiet.......
 
A lot of people who used to post here now just read threads. Chumley, Startwin???
I think too many posts have been dismissed or deleted on a whim sometimes.
This is just my opinion and nothing I want to get into a fight with Mods over.
I think it is a real shame that some are not still here.
Anyway if anyone wants a chat on FB then please PM me

I miss all the regular posters.....I really do, it's just a pity they feel they can't post they way they did in the past.:(

I'm not talking about abuse, I'm talking about having a laugh in general...:(

I don't understand how all of a sudden something that was funny before is now deleted within seconds, just because it 'might' upset someone, somewhere in cyber space! We never worried about them before, when did we start?:rofl:......

Novo's not been around either for a while.



Novo's spending the summer at his house in Normandy, and doesn't have such good internet connnection - don't worry, he'll be back the end of the month:eek:
I also miss Steve P, he had lots of good advice and I think this was a good place for him to be too, kept his mind off his health problems perhaps.

Too true. I have had my disagreements with Butch (and shared them with him via PM) but overall I prefer freedom of speech to censorship. If something/someone offends me I will let them know... this running to the mods and whining is a bit cowardly and big girl's blousy really.

You have 3 moderators for the Canadian forum, all in different time zones. You also have supermoderators, again in different time zones, so whilst it's true that mods have lives and are not around all the time, your excuse in this instance is not valid - or if it is, someone is not doing their job properly. I would also suggest you also keep site rule 1 in mind., it applies to moderators as well as other members of the forum

Yes it is.

I'll add that I've had plenty of posts deleted and edited for various reasons, sometimes it's a fair cop, others it's wtf was wrong with that? I guess the difference is that I just don't care enough to make a big deal of it.

Novo coming back might turn out to be the highlight of the Summer....:blink::p (even tho the man seems to detest me for some reason, then again... i'm sure I couldn't care less about it):p!

Steve is the person I miss the most...no offence intended to anyone else!:wub:

I don't visit or comment here as much as I used to. Not because of the mods but because in my opinion the content is mainly inane juvenile innuendo full of endless threads about nothing.

There's very little wit about the place, it's sunk to the lowest common denominator.

Blaming the mods for the state of the place is like blaming the police for the crime wave.
