Errrr, why?

Moderation does seem rather trigger-happy round here of late, if one doesn't mind me saying...

much as I enjoy alex's wit (and I do), he does enjoy winding people up, and ultimately, it catches up on you.

Alex was intelligent and funny which is traditionally the quickest way to a ban.

Having a go at St*ll*n was the other widely acknowledged route but as he is sadly no longer here that is no longer an option.

I feel he throws a spotlight on the stupid.

Behave.

When people threaten that which was threatened, they get banned.

Mentioning the M word will, as you know, probably lead to this thread getting pulled.

Thamks for that.

It struck me that little of interest could be said on the subject and I am actively looking into removing ratings as they serve no useful purpose.

Allowing the thread to run would have been a case of asking the question before shooting...

But Adam, if you do away with the 5 tick rating how am I going to know which threads to avoid reading Big Grin

We all have our methods.

How about a turkey rating system? Seasonal and very useful all year round.

Cheers

Why not a seagull rating system?

I think Seagull might have something to say about that Winker

1 - 5 on the Richter Scale.

Does that equal minus 4 ?

That could work

indeed so.
of course, some would also say it's stupid to continually bad-mouth Naim, elsewhere, if you wish to remain a member of this forum.

*blush* Fame at last.

I'll have to have a word with Mrs S when I get home!

Getting back to the seagull rating system...

Would that mean I would have to read EVERY thread? Eek

Would I have moderation rights so I could pull topics that are just too dull? (e.g. "is a 102 better than a 72?")
