Im sorry to say I know exactly how you feel Alan, if it makes you feel better I have been treated worse in other forums of late and have been thinking the same thing there, sometimes it feels like ...

a, people cant be bothered to research anything when they first get here and ask all the same simple questions over and over again

b, when you give advice they tell you its bullshit because there mate who owns a crummiedoor says so

c,there are more people interested in personal attacks than intelligent well based responses

d, when someone is attacked everyone wants to jump in with thier $2 even if they know nothing about the real issue

if it makes you feel any better, of the 20 or so forums I frequent Toymods is still the best moderated I feel Smile

and hey dude if you dont like what people are saying there is a complaints board.

anyhow dont go..I need someone to bitch about when youre not online Razz which is NEVER Smile

Allan,

Unfortunatly with any public access forum or message board there will always be the small element of imature people who try to ruin it for the rest us.

We are trying hard to keep this a worthwhile forum and the post you mentioned has been edited by myself. If there is a repeat performance we will suspend his user access as it was just not called for.

Regards,

i agree , with you all but believ other forums are way worse

i wreckon the post counter should be scrapped, people just post crap so they can build it up

eg woohoo 100 post threads

thats my 2 cents


honestly who cares how many posts ya do it the quality of the input

I agree with scrapping the post counter too....maybe keep the names of newcommer, regular, forums junkie etc when they hit over a certain mark.

oz_craig mentioned the "100th post" thread which I put my 2 cents worth in, just because....then I got abused.
What I do like is, that thread has now been completely deleted a little while after I unsubscribed from it, definately well moderated!

I agree with getting rid of the counter idea. In fact you could just have the two rankings

regular and newie. So once your past a certian mark then you are a regular even if you had 5,000 posts

My take on it.

Ed,

The board is indeed looking into this very issue and we are working on a set of guidleine to drastically reduce the so called "toolage Factor" in the various sections of the forums especially the Tech section as there really is no need for it to ever be allowed in there. I really can't say much more than that yet other than to ask you to hang in there for a little while longer. The next board meeting is a couple of weeks away and it will most likely be then that we can approve some new guidelines and start making some changes for the better.

In the mean time Danny and the rest of us will be starting to sort things out as best we can. The forums do need to be a fun place but not to the detriment of there content !

Regards,

Rod.

Im a newbie,
i dont find the counter a challenge for getting my posts up.
to me, if someone is ranked higher i respect their opinions and regard them as more mature (in most cases) and i also believe that they are more knowledgable than me.

thats my point of view

Well I think I have the most posts on this forum, but this has nothing to do with me being more knowledgeable, mature or higher ranked than anyone else. Its probably because I have been on here longer than alot of others, and also because I have a lot of smart arse comments and shit to speak.

Just dug this up.

And all I can say is that I hope none of the experienced and knowledgable posters leave because of dickheads posting crap. I've learnt heaps and got lots of help from all the stuff posted on this forum. It would be a real shame to lose a bunch of posters and be left with only the dickheads.

Removing the post counter is a good idea, cos you get to know very quickly who knows what they are on about regardless of number of posts.

Hen

Edit - Ironically I think this post pushed me over into regular.

The fuckin post whoring on this forum is starting to shit me Evil or Very Mad I'm sick of going into a thread and seeing the last post consists of 2 words like "thats funny", "so true" or just a damm smiley.
Its not half obvious that these few people are just trying to drive up their post count.
I know I have a lot of posts on here but at least my posts are either informative, serious questions or I'm putting shit on someone or something.

Re: toolage factor Sun, 29 June 2003 10:36 Go to previous messageGo to next message
the toolage is getting worse! i hate those posts too frank!
some people posting over 30 times aday!! everyday!!!
quality not quantity is what my mum taught me! all just to get a a high post count!
ok mods u say the post counter cant be taken away, for what ever reason, can it be rest everytime u get to like 500 or so ?

it might not be highly advertised like alan did but decent members are leaving cause of this immature BS, and in the long run it will effect us all when we need that valueable info, what i dont understand why you guys act like a keyboard warrior, you all seem reasonable in real,

so in closing spend less time posting verbal Diahrer, if ya wanna talk crap between members use the PM feature in the top right hand corner, or install a 3rd party AIM program such as MSN or ICQ.

Mods is there a feature than can be added to the forums, so that a user can be totally ignored as if they dont exist, and not just
Post by spammer is ignored [reveal post] [reveal all posts by spammer] [stop ignoring this user]???

as you are all aware by now the forum structure has changed and the rules have been formalised

any complaints of 'toolage' should be made to a moderator or emailed to the board

feel free to continue to post up comments or questions here.

thank-you
