This place has been a much nicer place to be in the last week or so....

No excessive/pointless banter posts full of swear words and unrelated to cars

Dont get me wrong, I dont mind reasonable banter but I do think some
on here go way too far most of the time and probally scare of newbies
and some of the younger members.

Any one got any reasonable opinions on this ?

Would be nice if this could stay on topic for once - But I doubt it !

I agree 100% fella

i agree 100%, some of the banter starts off funny but just goes way off topic etc, deffo better the last few days, have been on here more than the RSBB the last few days

must admit it was getting a bit ott and boring, funny first few times, that sort of 'comedy' soon gets a bit tedious tho.

but end of the day, i dont particularly care as long as this place is lively during an otherwise boring working day

Seems a nice balance now.

Nicer place to be the last week or so................

Banter is fine, as long as it doesn't take the thread off topic.

There is nothing worse than bang in the middle of a thread, someone asks [completely off topic ] someone who has replied.... how their car is or how are they... blah blah blah and it ends up like an MSN conversation in the middle of a thread!

WTF can't they start another thread of their own to ask?

Should we take it that Dave is not up for parole yet then ??

Stu @ M Developments

Because i am sick of this "reepost" bollocks. The webteam will be dealing with this now too. Unless you have some statistic to prove all 25000 members have read teh post you are talking about? And even then, you would need to know that all the NON members reading it have already seen it too.

All its doing is making people scared to post in case its already been done. Ridiculous. People wanting to start new topics on your forum should be praised not ridiculed, or soon we will start a decline in posting and usefull members will strat leaving. Lets nip it in teh bud now eh people?

Just one of my pet hates pal.. sorry to all it pisses off, but tough.

Very fair point mate

Won't happen again.

I agree, half the "reposts" people keep mentioning on here ive NEVER seen before on here.

And im confident due to the nature of my job (online all day) i see a higher % of posts than most people so if i havent seen them im damn sure most members havent.


I think the rule (to make it fair) shold be if you can post a "its a repost" image that is NOT itself a repost then it should be allowed.

But if one more person posts that "ask any poster, any real poster" vin diesel image again i think they should be banned for 99 years for pure hypocracy!

I think he has to finnish knocking the first one off over just the mere sight of my name on the screen before he is calm enough to post

Racey

I have to say, for the last week or so I couldnt be arsed to come on here because I was just so p'd off with how rude some of the members were being lately (and i'm not just talking about dave, i'm talking about alot of others too).

Banter is good, you have a giggle, but you also get those that go just over the top and then anger escalates (sp), I know - i've been there & done it!

Coming on the board today and seeing this may actually get my enthusiasm to come onto PF daily again

Far too many rogue traders still operating on here for my liking........

Sadly cant go in there at work

Its considered impolite if we masturbate around the clients

Stu @ M Developments

Such as?

All traders with a traders badge have paid me by BUSINESS CHEQUE.
No exceptions. What more can i do?

Anyone who buys from a non sanctioned trader does so at their own risk, the same as you do anywhere else in life, be it the local paper or E-bay.

was nice to see a decent reply to my post the other day by dan p.

was a stupid question i admit - but i asked it to put my mind at ease. was half expecting to get the usual piss taking replies but there were none which made i nice change i thought!

Mr S1

I'm all for banter and pisstaking, but of late it's gone far too far...........and Dave is by no means the main culprit and it's jolly unfair to lay the blame entirely at his feet !!! I actually think he's quite funny and good fun to have about, but like many others it can go too far sometimes.................

SPADGE

All i want to say is can we please have 2 gd's as this one is full of muppet driven drivel and i wouldn't mind if it was at least car related

* ROFL *

how about a seperate room for all the banter stuff and give it a name that suits the content.i have an idea, call it the muppet room. might work ROFL

dojj

iTrader: (3)

not wanting to sound arguementative but:

is this another go at the split room scenario?
if it's not then fair enough but it seems that with a more serius forum we mightlose that general jollyness that makes this place a nice place to be
i also understand that a lot of newbies tend to get a lot os flack just because they don't know who's who and how peole post
perhaps there could be something along the lines of a creche room for new members who can only post in, but can view stuff until they have reached a certain amount of posts?
it's going to be loads of work so it probably won't work, but if you could only post in a certain room if you had LESS than, say 100 posts then perhaps the newbies could get to know each other before prgressing up the scale to be able to post everywhere else?

and what have i missed about people getting banned?
i haven't noticed any changes to the way the forum has been run so am i missing something obvious?

sorry if i've jumped into the conversation and not been aware of the full facts

iTrader: (3)

Agreed.........

Was very funny the first few times but once it`s been done to death it gets a bit boring,unless it`s in context and will genuinely give people a laugh.........

Dan gave a perfect example of this earlier on in the week when he posted about the amount of post`s about the cheap buy it now Escos on e-bay........his post was funny and in context without all the usual reeeeeeeeeeeeepppppppppooooooooooosssttttttt rubbish...

I`m up for banter and against over censorship but it must be topical and amusing or it does get tedious.....

~nomad~

iTrader: (4)

I havnt noticed much difference. Bit less swearing banter, but it doesnt really bother me, and lets be honest, this is another post about Dave isn't it?

This forum is a joke,sorry...one minute people are slagging SECS then your kissing his arse...one thing i hate about a person TBH....the geezer is a con man

Dave was a real comic...fucking brilliant to have here..even if he is a cunt ...Chip should be got rid of as he being online 24/7 has brought all his cronys..max power dweebs

Bring back the OG RSBB that was the fun place....no i dont have to use here...but i do cause it fucks you right off by the sounds.

Get rid of SECS,Chip and all the new sad users who hide behind names cause they too weak to actually be themselves..the ultimate example of bullied at school

But whats the use Admin will always be one sided
