Forum is too fragmented

[Guest mikhd002]

I'm here ... but have a fulltime job too. All mods get notified of reports, so please feel free to use them.

Paul is on off boarding at the moment.

Great post Arr Too :D

Indeed, I'm happy to moderate any posts ... BUT please help me to help you. If it's mentioned elsewhere, I'll close the thread and link to the primary thread. Then it can sink. Ideally, in the Report, please link to the primary so I don't have to search. An alternative is to post in the thread saying "Mentioned here : <link>" ... but there might be more replies by the time I get to close it.

All SPAM and "For Sale" threads will be closed with a warning.

Healthy discussion can from time to time get a little heated, and generally I'll let that continue. However if it gets abusive or full of swearing then I will interject. However everyone needs to realise that it is the internet, opinions vary and people do use stronger language than your grandmother might use in church!

Oh lastly I'm not sure that Paul would be open to further sub-forums ... but it's worth asking him I guess. I can see a value in having certain sub-forums such as "FAQs" or "ROMs" etc. But I still think most posts would end up in "General" ... or just be in the wrong section.

On another thread I suggested that some knowledgeable souls create a "FAQ", and then add to it as appropriate, with a rapid succession of reserved posts, so that they can edit the reserved posts when they run out of space. This keeps everything on the front page too. I'm happy to sticky that kind of helpful post too.

Cheers

Thanks for this reply, I think also, with the FAQ all replies to it should be deleted, and when it is finished it should be locked, so that it does not get cluttered. Again, I refer to to the link I posted earlier in the thread.

And we need to find a way that users use the search better. This is what i saw 5 Minutes ago:

Are you kidding me?
