Re: Follow up

Right guys I don't want this post taken down (either by me now or by another admin later), because I wanted to put out what's happened to yesterdays post and to explain what is going to happen now. But to do that we need to keep the thread within the rules of the board, so let's keep civil and court...

Follow up

For anyone following posts from yesterday and wondering what's going on :roll: The post about a new rule for member behaviour is currently hidden - I have ample responses to ensure that committee can get a flavour of how members here feel when I give them the info and the draft rule. I think it'll b...

Re: Okay, we're done now

We did a couple of demos of proposed replacements, using a couple of different forum packages, but they were all done under the presumption that we were using the same hosting package that we have now. I'm not wanting to stay with that idea now, for reasons above.

Okay, we're done now

That's it, I've finished with this. The board has been down for most of the past day, and we're still waiting for the company to get back to us and explain the last lot of breakdowns from the previous set of cockups. We (that is, Simon and myself) have no faith whatsoever that the board will stay ru...

Re: This'll get me told off....

Oh dear, looks like our dear complainant still isn't happy and says the post is still in General Discussion and not in Off Topic after all. By way of information: https://www.phpbb.com/support/docs/en/3.1/ug/moderatorguide/modtools_move/ Of course, it's easy to accuse the moderators of not doing the...

Re: This'll get me told off....

Just to prove that even the mods get modded, my whisky post has been relegated to the 'off topic' forum, following the inevitable whine (or is that wine?) about it lol. Personally I thought the correct response would be to make is a 'sticky' in every forum, but in deference to our poor directors ear...

This'll get me told off....

Sorry, this isn't a 'normal' post and No, this isn't signifying 'all bets off' but it excites me enough that I'm going to make an exception - if it makes you feel good then by all means send in a report and I'll get told off. Now that that's out of the way, I know that many of my classic car owning ...

Re: What was going on there?

I'm afraid that would probably be seen as worse than having it in the general conversation. Whether you could pull it off or not is another matter, but you could at least attempt to feign innocent ignorance with some 1980s style saloon bar jokes in the 'general chat' forums. Creating a specific area...

Re: What was going on there?

It should be remembered that posts are not moderated for 'causing offence', but instead for having 'the potential to cause offence'. I can only speak for myself of course but there have been very very few instances whe...
