MyGodWeArePoorToWatch 0 Posted November 1, 2007 I know of no other BB where each post has to be moderated before its allowed.This makes it a 9 - 5 board, very boring indeed.I think you should trust the members, give moderator powers to a few trusted long time members, that way we can enjoy this board how it should be.Its a sad world that you feel so insecure that each post must be first approved.Come on guys sort it out for the pinkun comunity.

As my login causes problems [ :o) ] 0 Posted November 1, 2007 As someone who pots more regularly on the official canaries.co.uk board I have to say that it is the moderation on here which sets it apart as somewhere more reasoned lengthy argument can take place.Whilst I will always prefer the banter on there, I do enjoy reading certain threads on here.As for moderation I''ve either got more reserved or they have got more relaxed as I get hardly anything edited these days.A helpful suggestion would be if Pete and Vince could check and correct the spelling and grammar as that would really raise standards!

Graham Humphrey 13 Posted November 1, 2007 I don''t see what''s wrong with having it "unmoderated" - of course, if there''s any trouble then the mods can still step in and sort it out, but it would stop a lot of the multiple threads on the same subject for a start. And it''s not that difficult to moderate a forum in this way.And some option to edit your own posts would be nice, as well as being able to go to the first post in a thread you haven''t read rather than reading it from the start to make sure you haven''t missed any.In short, the forum software is rubbish, certainly compared to some others that I''m on.

Alex Moss 2,165 Posted November 1, 2007 [quote user=""] I have to say that it is the moderation on here which sets it apart as somewhere more reasoned lengthy argument can take place.[/quote]I think that''s why i prefer it. Years ago i use to go on the official canaries board but don''t bother now. The ''unmoderated'' forums can get filled up with boring 1 word arguments reminiscent of an IM conversation!. Because this is moderated the way it is i think posters put more effort into their posts. And talking of arguments...It''s RamsAy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lappinitup 629 Posted November 1, 2007 The sheer fact that this board is moderated is what makes it one of the most successful and popular boards in the country !!They''re still miserable b.............s [:D] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Messiah 0 Posted November 2, 2007 If they allow some of the sensible long-timers that are registered here to be moderators then any rubbish could be removed within a short space of time.We would then have a more "live" board than we currently use.I do however, like this forum. It''s a good suggestion on how it could be better though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Syteanric 1 Posted November 2, 2007 i have seen posts approved to the board at 3am sometimes.. so its hardly a 9-5 board is it? I commend all the moderators for being up in the wee small hours wading through some of the tripe on here and posting it up! Dedication for certain! well done mods!(fivers in the post chaps ok????)jas :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you ever moderated a Forum you''d understand the issues involved with it. I know I''m no angel myself but at least I try to conduct myself with a bit of decorum.I know its cliche but you''ll get treated like adults if we behaved like it, but this is like saying the world will be at peace when everyone can get along, its never going to happen.

ca 1 Posted November 3, 2007 I think its a shame that a couple of people on here can''t be trusted to moderate the site when the mods are busy. Take this weekend, its the ''derby'' weekend and this morning the posts werent updated between 8am ish and 11.15am and Celia has already said they''ll all be out tonight at their Archant due, so presumeably there will be no-one to update anything tonight either.I''m not having a go at the mods either cause I think they do a difficult job and I know they mod posts after 5.30pm in their own time just seems a shame that people are willing to help but can''t..

There is much more to read in the Pinkun than simply how NCFC are getting on....and it''s just the same on here. Allowing any Tom Dick or Harry to sift through the posts would rapidly lead to legal issues for Archant and bias of opinion. Maybe the moderators do update "after hours"...but it is also part of their day job and many of us have to take home with us. It is more than likely an "obligation" that goes with the job....and we all know how employers like to get something "extra" out of their staff for nothing. They are doing just fine in my opinion.There is life outside of this little forum CA....and so when the moderators are unavailable due to real life getting in the way, we should simply switch off and do something else like catching up with the ironing or doing a bit of housework.......
