Just been reading Grix's thread that he's leaving, yet he's posting still.

Dude, the only way we can maintain some decency on here is to not up and leave when it seems to be sinking into a quagmire of pointless topics and (sorry for those that aren't), moron posters.

There have been quite a few toeheads recently, but there have also been quite a few decent newbies that offer something valid and interesting.

I would suggest that (mainly) The Notables make it part of their "duty" to guide newbies in the right direction.
I'm not sure how.

May I suggest Moderators?
One person per forum that is able to delete threads and bar postings from certain people?
It would save Ali and Tony etc from wading through utter toilet, there are some of us regulars that are basically "old school" and post all day every day.

I've seen Moderators at work on other boards and it works fine.
Newbies can ask them questions via email (from name), it just gives those that use the forums with alarming regularity a better idea as to what is going on, purely because the staff at SR have better things to do.

I know that Bonus is a tech genius, quite scary really, but he knows his stuff - so if there's a tech forum he'd be the ideal person for that one.
I won't suggest names for who might be per forum, as that will degenerate into the election "Why him? Why not this one?" nonsense.

I would recommend that, if you go with Moderators, the Notables should decide and staff, saving a lot of useless "campaigning".

Just a suggestion though.
And I would e more than willing to "keep an eye"over the movies and DVD forum.
That place is a gem and I'd sob if it went downhill.

I don't care about ranking....

I'd just like my stats put back with my name and not with some hackers!

I think this is my 5th account now on Special Reserve dus to problems and errors (not all SR's fault) and it's bad enough people using my stats to try and prove I've only been here for 170 days when I know I've been here for over a year!

I thought you didn't care about ranking, Edgy? :0)

Hey Tony, when do I get my stats transferred?

I know I've said that it can't be too bad having "Just arrived Today" under ya name...but having it under ya name when you're one of the longest running members is!

Or go to Black and White, check those forums and see moderators that dont appear that often, post helpful messages and discuss any matters or concerns that posters have.

Not mentioning any sites, but I know a particular board where the moderators abuse their privelage and I was banned over 5 times for no decent reason. If you would like to send hate mail to this site, e-mail me at [email protected] and I will give you details.

THE GAME'S ROLEMODEL?!

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr... I bet Ant put you up to it didn't he!

Damn Him...

I try to insult Ant but he's always lost in thought... Probably because it's such unfamiliar territory!

Silly Ant, he's depriving a village somewhere of thier 'idiot'! How inconsiderate!

And this can't be his face in the SR Discount Mag... surely! It looks like his neck threw up!

LOL

Game 3 - 0 Ant!!
