Got 3000 posts or more?

[Darkwood]

1short i assume you get booted out at 3000 posts then lol

 

[Dipzy]

no you'd probably start a new one!

 

[trbod]

I don't see what your all gripping about , not everyone can get in the arms , not everyone can get into the trusted advisors section not everyone can get into the mods and admin section , it's only another section and at 3000 posts , you must have been around a while even if its just saying hi or telling a joke.

if we were all the same it would be boring or the tillers forum

 

[richy3333]

3000 really why ???? Why not 10000, or 1999 ? Where is it written that 3000 posts denotes a significant contribution ? Your own post proves the point pick a number, any number it means nothing other than 'someone' has plucked a completely random number and this number is based on what ? Post quality..no..shear guess work !
J

Shouldn't the number of posts be 2391?

So if you tell 2000 jokes 500 posts of inane drivel and 500 posts of tosh you get in ?
no one can see the folly of this ? I say again, have a special sub forum for outstanding contributors, I have no issue with that, I certainly wouldn't expect an invite, but admission to such a forum should be based on a persons actual contribution to electrical issues, there are blokes on here that have way less than 3000 posts but are outstanding contributors, if no one can see why post count admission is so wrong then I despair I really do, last time I looked this was an electricians forum not the comedy club..

[trbod]

There's more then one way to contribute to a forum then been a spark , in this case

 

[ToysoutofPram]

Oh dear, I just joined after thinking this looks like a good place and already from a few posts i see there are elitist elements here

Bit like the Masons i suppose....

 

[Adam W]

where did I say I had contributed "1000 quality posts" Another curve ball, from you, I got banned once, at least I have a pair and tell people that are ****s that they are ****s, 3000 posts or not you have started a personal attack on me,go grow a pair.
Who the hell are you to be analysing my posts ? Are you a mod ? No, just a Brown noser ...


J

Why are you demanding that I explain myself then? You're the one starting personal attacks here; if you believe the forum is going downhill as much as you claim, why do you keep coming here? The forum would be a much nicer place without poisonous trolls like you bringing down the tone.

Interesting to know what your real identity is lol

The mods have the powers to see and may request you choose your usual or your newly created account

PS Welcome to the forum, it's a great place but don't expect to be happy with EVERYTHING posted on the forums :thumbsup

 

[Adam W]

http://www.electriciansforums.net/groups/3000-posts-group.html

[martinxxxxxx]

Well whether you agree with this or not
It's one less post I'll have to make to get into the Super3000 club:tt1:

Hey Ho

 

[dagrat]

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:

 

[Dan]

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.
YOU GOING TO START A 4000 THREAD?

Where's the coffee !!!!!

[sedgy34]

Can I join if I promise not to post anything, or is it too elitist?

[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.

 

[Dan]

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.

 

[Paul.M]

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.

Biggest thread for the electriciansforum is that!!!!, says a lot I suppose.

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.

Perhaps some will discuss other posters, I don't really know.
Myself no, I do not partake in such practices.

 

[trev]

As paul said that thread is more about the subject matter than anything else and I can't think of any time a regular member has made an appearance on it except for Strima and me and we both put ourselves on there so no big deal is it.

Sorry trev but i disagree the thread is just a baiting pit whereby people are ridiculed for asking basic questions on an open forum, the name of the thread says it all, would it not be easier to make any poster over 3000 a mod if all thats talked about is the moving forward of the forum?

 

[trev]

Well if we're talking about baiting pits, what do you think this thread has turned into since you put up your post at #83?
Maybe some of the guys with over 3000 posts wouldn't want to be mods, maybe we have not been asked, maybe there is no need for any more. All I know is this turning into a very divisive antagonistic thread so as they say on a well known TV programme, I'm out.

So i'll keep my comments and views to myself you mean? and when a poster says I dont behave that way but he clearley does I should keep my mouth shut?, Im struggling with the whole forum disscusion thing it seems.

I disagee, it is more to do with a moan about posters who ask advice, then take umbrage with the advice given.
It probably wouldn't be a good idea to make me a mod, as I'd probably just delete any posts that disagree with mine.

Your free to disagree as am I, not intrested if people dont like my comment it's true, and if anyone does doubt it go and look through the comments.

 

[Deleted member 26818]

Of course I'm free to disagree.
That's my purpose in life.
I just don't understand why there is this antagonism towards the 3000+ section.
For me the forum works as it is.
Yes there's a couple of sections where access has to be requested, so what?
Now there's a section that can only be accessed when X amount of posts have been made, again so what?
To me this whole thing is nothing more than a storm in a tea cup.

TBH I just love to argue.....and this thread was just ripe for the picking, Like I said originally not that intrested in the subject matter but felt I had some valid points to add.

No.

The forum needs input from members to move forward.

The moderators moderate the members.

That is all.

Interesting thread but it's not going to achieve anything we've made the forum, those who it applies to have access to it and now can contribute to it, and those who don't have access to it still have everything exactly the same as they had before.

Simples.
