Well I tried!
Please let me know if any users of this forum are interested in having a quality forum by keeping to a few simple standards. i.e. When starting a new thread giving it a subject title that relates to the topic!

I like and use freeola for their web hosting and broadband service and would like to be able to use a forum that doesn’t seem to be exclusively run by children.

Most half-decent forums that are in place to support a user community have some level of standards – it is a shame that freeola aren’t able to professionally moderate this one.

Could be my last post as Mod!

what will you do once all topics are names correctly, you'll have so much time on you hands ... there's always the Ninty forum which needs tidying up.

I agree: this forum IS better when people have a decent name for their topic and are prepared to give more information than 'my pc is broke'. It's fair enough for first time posters to do that, but to come back time and again and do the same thing just makes it less likely that people will want or be able to help.

And don't worry Mod!, once you've sorted out vague titles perhaps you can start eliminating spelling mistakes. Eh? Eh?

This from the person that wants to control who can and can't have babies?

I have to admit I agree with what Mod! was trying to do. Seeing the forum full of "help me!" etc. is no good to anyone.

There are plenty of other forums for general chat and messing around for those that are looking for that.

But nobody comes in here to mess around.

This is probably the most serious forum on the site.

I like the fact that sometimes I haven't got a clue what the posters problem is going to be, it lets you think on your feet.

Ah, and although your cause has been noble Mod, I don't think may people liked it.

Ok then.

Give another example. Because that's the only one I've ever seen you mention.
