Hi toys out of pram, think you've chosen a very volatile thread to start on, welcome and always wear your helmet, gloves and goggles when posting..:38:

The forum's now back open to those with 3k+ posts.

And of course, you don't have to rush to get in there if you don't want to get in there. There's no need to create 2000 spam posts just to get in there. You'll naturally do it as and when.

But for now those with access can help contribute to the shaping of the forum for the rest of the guys.

There's a thread in the 'news and updates' forum where I'm taking constructive feedback and explaining what it's all about.

you have more chance of losing members with this thread than members wanting to get to that 3000 post count give it up your members have spoken FFS.

[kingeri]

Some people just can't accept defeat, or at least won't listen to the voice of the masses.

i dont think the person will see this as they have already posted they have other forums to look after they are running a business

 

[James Dalby]

You got way to much time on ya hands lol

 

[trev]

not everyone can get into the trusted advisors section

Didn't know there was one

 

[trev]

I say again, have a special sub forum for outstanding contributors, I have no issue with that,
J

Ok so just suppose that was introduced. What would be the entry requirement and who would decide if a particular member satisfied the criteria?

 

[Deleted member 26818]

I hear of a Farmer who got an award.
He was outstanding in his field.

 

[Paul.M]

Instead of post counts why dont we look at the amount of likes and thanks that members have? I think that is a true reflection of that persons contribution to the forum. After all its the members that give the likes and thanks.

YOU GOING TO START A 4000 THREAD?

I'm not trying to get anybody to get a 3k post count lol

And no 4k forum or thread required.

I'm letting people know who it applies to more than anything as they probably wondered where it went so suddenly.

If it doesn't apply to you I wouldn't worry about it too much. Nothing's changed from your point of view.

It's just as easy to 'fake' than posting spammy posts. At least when we see spammy posts we can alter post counts or erase posts. We wouldn't know what a genuine thank or like was based on though so would have to assume they are being thanked genuinely.

The 3k thing will work. Just needs a bit of time for this lot to cool off a bit.

Anybody would think they want to get in there they way they're banging on about it.



****** Hides under cover *******

 

[silverfox1]

Dan why are you so adamant in going ahead with this 3000+ plus thing when there has been so much negativity amongst forum members. It seems you had your mind made up you were going to introduce it and screw who ever disagrees.
Reading through this thread there are many good ideas being presented by forum members but are just being side stepped then you wonder why all the animosity.

 

[AP Electrical]

I've not commented on this yet as its not something I'm that interested in but to put my hat in the ring, the only thing the 3000+ members have to discuss in there room is other posters......, it will just be a place for them to pick post apart ripping people that don't have the knowledge or post count they do. Think about it what else do they have to discuss? Zs readings maybe, look at topics in the arms a few threads come to mind about people's posts, now imagine that's about you!!!! Unless you get to 3000 posts you'll never find out I suppose...

Remember guys it's just an Internet forum and the rooms aren't real............…

kind regards Alex

 

[Paul.M]

Alex, if the 3000 section turns into a slagging off of members I'm out.

Theres nothing of the sort in there at the moment and I dont think ther ever will be. So far all we are doing is suggesting things about the running of the forum and its nothing that I/we haven't said in the main forums anyway.

 

[trev]

I was just about to say the same Paul. I've always said there's nothing I'll ever say that I wouldn't say to someone's face, if the forum did ever degenerate into a bitch fest I'd never come back

With all due respect look at your post in the arms regarding quotes of the day......

 

[silverfox1]

Good idea of Dans to get input from senior/long standing members on how to improve forum , so why not just pm certain members for idea's instead of creating this new forum which has upset many to say the least.
Any good idea's thrashed out could then be aired in the forum then maybe a poll ,
just thinking out loud really would like to hear other members views.

Fair point.

That thread was started at a certain time of the year when we got an influx of a new type of member and it snowballed from there. I believe its the biggest thread in the Arms(or 2nd) and no one has complained about it yet? Besides we are debating the "topic" and not "the person" as such.

Also paul I'm only replying to your comments, I'm sure you ment no harm but my point is things as you say snowball and get out of hand intentionally or not.....and before you know it your singling out members for ridicule.
