Think at the moment it is spot on, can't think of anything that I can say is not right. The one thing that I mentioned to you was ppl post invading (non paying members) when I advertise stuff on parts for sale which they dont have access too But you can't do much about that!

Just glad it is all stable and all

In all my time here I only have had 1 bit of mini hassle a post was shut down the other day by Tiff about the gumball as it turned into a slanging match which was Rich_W wanting me hit by a lorry when he has never even met me do I hold a grudge no he is aloud his opinion and me mine and I think tiff did the right thing shutting it down

Bar that never ever had a prob with any mods or decisions and hassle free no one threatening me etc Top Site IMO If people dont want hassle they should think about how they reply to people yes you are aloud your opinion but common sense will tell you when and how to structure a topic or reply

1) The way its run by Admin? Admin Good
2) Its current speed? Speed Good
3) Its Content? Content very varied
4) Its Moderation? Good
5) Its Lack of swear filter? I like to swear im uneducated
6) Any suggestions? Nope I like it here feck It dont feel like home anywhere else

Id like to answer this if i may.
1) I feel its good to keep as much post history as possible as i see it almost like a "Life"..

2) I feel it adds seriouis weight to the search function as the more topics we keep, the more likely an answer will exist..

It would however save on disk space if we deleted it, but were not short on disk space

The database is however over 350Mb so that may breathe a sigh of relief

The other aguement regarding keeping posts for the seach function is that everything you need to know Ford or not Ford related is only a POST away anyhow


Especially with all the Fuggin Know it alls on here!!!

swear filter......


id like an option to have it in my control panel....
my workplace runs a smart filtering system.... if it picks up too many key words relating to NON business needs it blocks the site...

now the odd post or two getting blocked and I cant access fair does... but what really buggs me is swear in the titles of posts - as I cant even access the general forum then to have a look at other posts - and have to wait until the offending post drop to the 2nd page before it lets me back on again.

i also like the back dated posts - just gutted that the power torque one has gone wayward somewhere!

1) The way its run by Admin?___No probs at all...
2) Its current speed?_________No probs at all...
3) Its Content?______________As Till, said, always amusing
4) Its Moderation?___________Think the mods are pretty sensible
5) Its Lack of swear filter?_____Most moderate them selves with this
6) Any suggestions?__________Yeah. Can I have my mens room access back please?

Stu, the BB is fine. Whilst I might find it a pain not being able to post in WANTED or FOR SALE forums, I respect the fact that the paying users have to get something for their money (perks) and that it has been decided this is one of them. Hell, I know if I had spare money I would definitely pay, but I don't

I do wish you hadnb't taken my Mens room access away tho Especially after giving it me back, then taking it away again

Stu,

1-6 : Purrfect.

however, would it be possible to add a "turn off sigs" in our profiles ? Wouldn't need to scroll so much.
Maybe only turn off sigs for non traders, so that traders can use their sig to advertise which is fair in my books.

Just a though, otherwise keep up the good work.
