I'll start:
I would like for everyone to be acknowledged by the OP if they have taken time to reply to their threads. Even if you don't know the FM, a little smiley to say their participation has been recognised is a nice gesture.

Anyone have anything to add?

Thanks Liverpoollass! It is nice for FMs to be afforded the decency of a response from the OP. I know it is not always possible but it is something we should endeavour to do.

Nice thought, but impossible unless you sit glued to the forum 24/7

It is obvious within 5 minutes sometimes that your post is being ignored. When the OP cartwheels over a reply to answer another. I do agree that it is probably impossible to acknowledge everyone but we can try.

Sorry, I don't agree. I don't acknowledge everyone who replies to a thread, not because I'm ignoring them, but usually because I have nothing to add. Can't see the point of posting a smiley just for the sake of it either...

Can't understand why people get their knickers in a twist about it really

Hi, hey why dont you devise a proper code of conduct when you have received a few more ideas. It could be used as a 'sticky' permanently, like a erm 'OUR COMMUNITY CODE OF CONDUCT' sort of thing.

I like that idea Lainy, I really do. It would be unifying for us FMs in our new house!

They wanna try Digital Spy for heavy moderation.

Thign is, forums like this (and C4 forums) are massive, the memberships go well into thousands (this one will grow) Mods can only do so much, mostly they act on reported posts/threads. If the listened and responded to every single little gripe there would be no real moderating done.. It is up to the individual how they conduct themselves, they feck up, then get suspended or banned.

Nothing is perfect.

It might take some doing Triggers but I reckon that the majority would go for it, however I dont think it should be as strict as C4 as Trollop said, but we dont want trolls in our new house F'ing off every other word.
