Re: OFFICIAL NEW FORUMS DISCUSSION THREAD - drop kicks NOT welcome	Thu, 24 November 2005 02:42

I'd just like to cover a couple of the things put forward by 4dadrift. 1) The "no consultation" claims, made in this thread. In addition to the consultation of our club members, the majority of the changes to the new forum are based around complaints that have been bought up by people in the feedback section of this forum. Take a look around. there is a call for no sign ups during school holiday's as an example, we're not doing this because I think it is unfair to not accept any members just because of the time of year. However we are trying to improve the quality of people joining simply by having them give some details that make them feel more ownership for their actions. We have people asking for minimum post limits before using the classifieds section, we've implemented this with reputation where the members of the forum can make the decisions. We have people asking for a way to differentiate club members from forum members and we have implemented this as well. Actually lets take a bit more of a look at that last one. Why were people asking to have a way to differentiate club members from forum members? The reason is that our club members feel that the image of the club is hurt by the behaviour of a hell of a lot of the members of the forum. Due to this they want people reading the forum to see who is a member of the club so they can get a feel for the quality of people they will be socialising with at official meetings and events. It's sad that this is something that is needed but we live in a changing world where it's not possible to just let everyone do what ever they want. 2) The six month membership drive to give people a taste of what it's like to be a member of the club without as much expense for merchandise. Our meetings are all open to the public completely free of charge. All of our events are also open to the public, unless there is an issue with numbers where members would miss out if we let non members take places. Sure generally at events it is more expensive for non members but this is one of the benefits of joining the club. As you can see we are extremely happy to have people come along and see if they want to be a member of the club before they join. In fact it's very much preffered, we don't want people joining the club and getting something they didn't expect. As to your signature, while I do see how people could be offended by it, I could not be bothered asking for it to be changed. The ignorance and generalisation shown in it really explains a lot and gives people a good understanding of where it is you're coming from. [Report message to a moderator]
