So, how about you make a signature similiar to the one when a signature/avatar is removed stating the reason he was banned, or even the rule he broke highlighted. Would save all the 'Why was he banned' threads. Also an email to the banned member would be good aswel.
Good idea?

and some of the mods we do have and use the site dont seem to do much , it always seems to be the same few who actually do anything
To many mods on here worring about upsetting mate i would think
Sorry if this sounds harsh but it is my opinion

1) Stop the pointless theads such as 'vote for this girl as she wants to make her father proud by getting her chest out for a living' so shes entered a wannabee competition
2) Close the muppet room.
3) encourage technical and car based discussion rather than 'my mate like a girl' discussions.
4) Have admin and moderators with vision, your car entusiasts you should be able to decide what you think PF should be.
Personally I would like to see a more technical style discussion forum as I like learning.. it seems like Yahoo chat in here sometimes with all the not work safe threads, wanabee models, and relationship issues
What do the moderators and admin want from the forum

All you need is any brother and sister, some candles, a bottle of wine and a bit of Marvin Gaye... and 9 months later.... a new Jay arrives!

Bring back Banchester, place was much more interesting. And the ammount of he people he will ban just to celebrate his return would solve the criticle errors, can 4 members posting at once cause any real problems? I think not.

If you want a radical pruning exercise, then:
Split into two GD sections (one car related, the other everything but cars). Keep the muppet room, as they wouldn't be able to cope in the real world.
But, get rid of:
Music and Car Audio discussion (can be in GD above plus there are dedicated sites for this)
Fitness and weight training (can be in GD above plus there are dedicated sites for this)
Interesting links (can be in GD above)
Computers and IT (can be in GD above plus there are dedicated sites for this)
Games Room (can be in GD plus there are dedicated sites for this)
Mens / Ladies Room (with porn being so easily accessible by the internet, it's hardly necessary that we have a room for the wankers amongst us - although I will REALLY miss JohnnyBs photos)
Contributors (never even looked at it)
TOTB forum (only really needs reinstating from April through to August, so if it is taking up space drastically needed, can be removed - although I try and keep it paired down, so it doesn't take up too much space anyway).

this is fucking the site up aswell, if people come on this site and search for say the above but cant find what they are looking for but know it on here they will 1) put a new topic up asking where the old topic was or 2) put up another topic about the same thing thats been discused using bandwith that doesnt need to be used if the search feature was out back to how it used to be
I know this has been coverd but i just wanted my 2p

).Wy dont all the mods have a mad five mins where you just blits the GD room and move all the threads to relevant rooms
BTW i think the little Moved Tab that you leave behind when you move a topic is a cool move!

Then get rid of them ,,
As said there are loads of mods on here but they dont do anything , or are scared to do anything
I think its time for mew mods myself ,,well change the ones who arnt active users and the ones who do fook all .
