over Zealous Mods!

Post by thompsoc »

[quote="Tannin"]I don't know why we can't have a teams thread that lives for more than 30 damn seconds on the board before some over-zealous mod goes button-crazy and merges it into the match thread where, as always, it's impossible to find any damn thing or carry on a sensible discussion because it's just too long and crowded. Merge later if you must, but this merge-everything-instantly drives me spare.Same as it does most other members. It's not needed and it's not wanted. Just don't do it, OK?

Sigh.


I am with Tannin on this!
Can the Mods make a post about why they keep doing this!
we don't eat our own at collingwood we just allow them to foul our nest.

yeh it gets a bit hard to follow,

i rarely venture into the pre game and post game thread because its such a large mess with 50 convos happening at once, not easy to follow a discussion.

would definately prefer things like team line ups having their own threads

p.s. i appreciate the job mods do, you'll never make everyone happy and they're doing it for nothing. so this is not a knock, just a suggestion for improevement.

it wouldn't go astray to show a bit of respect, thompsock

I also should have been more respectful in my original post. I spoke in anger. The way the mods manage to keep order in this madhouse - it isn't simply a great job, it's a damn miracle!

But this merge-thread mania doesn't have anything to do with keeping order - indeed, it doubtless makes it more difficult because, as Kingswood more-or-less says above, you could drop the Queen Mary into one of those huge, chaotic match threads and never even notice.

argh, beat me to it. :lol:

Tannin has a point. It's good to be able to find team selection immediately. Perhaps even a separate sticky from Thursday night until game day would work?

man, i wasnt joking, tannin was the reason for my yellow, (remember the old folks gag tannin lol) the mods are currently reviewing the footage as we speak, although it has been 8 weeks now, but hal tells me tannin will be offered a yellow, but if he fights it its a str8 red, if found guilty of course.

i may not be around as much for a couple of weeks, im currently deep under cover on LU, and loving it.

Not me, Defender. I confess that it never really occurred to me to try to help you get into trouble here - not when you were doing so well all by yourself. :)

I prefer the Vic Park Tavern, at least you can get a drink there whilst reading all the drivel.
