YAAAAY

Nice one Dave


I agree with Gel ... I think some of the behaviour has been disrespectful to the lovely GaGa people who gave us this lovely new home

Problem is some people think they have a 'right' to post on any given forumm when they don't.

The management reserve the right etc.....

With some people it's a case of "give them an inch etc"

The moderation is so much more relaxed and uncensored here, most of us are enjoying the freedom to be more expressive and be adult in humour ... a few have abused this IMO and taken it too far with the freedom they have in here compared with the old place and just abused it

Agreed Pepsi, and its a shame that they have had to post this little reminder to a forum full of .... well.....adults???

Hi Dave and other Mods too, I will never forget what you have done putting this together for us and so quickly too. Not only that but you Mod us like we are adults and an actual someone to talk to when we need to question somthing or comment on what you have done. I also for one enjoy it when you individualy turn up in threads and join in, nice personal touch.
I hope it continues and you never end up thinking we are worth it!

Back on thread, i think you put the rules very eloquently and they are handy to have for newbies and as a reminder for who have been here and should no better.

Moin xx I think that most of the baggage came from something ancillary to C4.

Dave is spot on. It's thier job to moderate the forum not any of ours. IMO a lot of the trouble would never have escalated to the level it did if people had not risen to the bait. Also if people would just chill out and stop going looking for whoever they think is the troublemaker this week.

It doesn't happen very often for me

It does annoy me though when a newbie posts and someone will come in and post a
Not everyone is reincarnated and should be given a chance.

I'm glad to be here and welcome these wise words

Thank you Dave and Co for a great forum and your very wise advise.
Let's hope all FM read your post and understand that this is a friendly forum and Peeps need to move on and have a fresh start

Well said Dave and good on you all for putting up with us. But please, where can I buy some asbestos pants??

Thank you Dave for reminding us who the Moderators are ...

Personally I think all arguments should be sent to the chatroom so:-

A) They can slug it out in real time.

B) The jibes are not left in threads for everyone to read.

Go Dave! I hope folk take heed. I love the more relaxed moderation here, but think some people do take advantage. Now where are my asbestos knickers.....

Hi Dave, tried to reply but your thread is locked. The day we moved over to the fabulous GaGa, I never had no baggage, still don't. Loving the forum. I also know your American FM's pay for the 'Privilege' we got this for free, I'm very grateful.

Thank You.

We all knew that already.

Dave might have been unsure

Well said Dave, but where can I buy asbestos knickers?

Here you go everyone.

What's that meant to be?

I think it's very sad that having kindly given a new home childish behaviour is spoiling it for the many.

I have to say that this is one of the most relaxed forums in terms of moderation that I'm on

fankoo Mods

Great post Dave , thanks Mods for this forum. Just a shame some of this stuff has been brought on to here, as it does spoil the fun of the forums but hopefully now people will be more aware.

Great post, should have happened weeks ago.

*is glad to be totally oblivious to the forum hoohaa*

this is a brilliant forum and we're lucky to be here. there are plenty of other forums to air any dirty laundry on without spoiling this one.
