Guest peekie Posted February 12, 2004 Report Posted February 12, 2004 heard from midnight its been removed until its cleaned up abit,a shame to loose that porthole hopefully its back soon or i will have to keep poping over to another forum to access it and that is a pain.... :wink: :wink:
Guest midnight Posted February 12, 2004 Report Posted February 12, 2004 its quite simple, its a mess, theres zero moderation, and 90% of posts are either flaming msmobiles or are soon turned that way (yes, i know, he does his fair share of flaming aswell), but we think its totally against the feel of MoDaCo, we like to think of this as a nice place with flaming kept to an absolute minimum. This is also a site where any age can participate, and some of the language used on the NG's was getting totally out of hand, something we would not put up with on MoDaCo. By the way, this is a totally unofficial response, this is my feelings to towards the whole NG thing, for an official response you'll have to wait for a reply from Paul.
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted February 12, 2004 Report Posted February 12, 2004 Spot on Midnight... The signal / noise ration in the NG was way out of hand, and it had got to the stage where I felt they were no longer of benefit to the site. I may reconsider this in the future, and perhaps include them in a different way, but for now at least - they won't be returning. P
Guest mcwarre Posted February 12, 2004 Report Posted February 12, 2004 Paul, I don't blame you; why should you let you, the site's and the mod's reputations be possibly 'dragged through the mud' over something you don't control. If you don't control it you can't take responsibility for it; although it won't stop someone apportioning blame. It's not as if the NG is unacessible just any link (URL or otherwise) to MoDaCo. The language and flaming on that NG was getting out of hand, to put it mildly, and I for one won't be sad to see it removed from this site. That's my tuppence worth :wink:
Guest peekie Posted February 12, 2004 Report Posted February 12, 2004 you are right about the bashing it was over the top and not really news worthy and modaco was blamed for a lot , and as you say there is no way to control it as you control this forum, its a shame as in between the rubbish was some interesting stuff ,shame the developing side went as well as this was better than the public version in terms of the language :wink: :wink: :wink:
