A special red toolbox (In the words of free_electron) labelled "Widlarization toolkit" ;) That's essential :-+ |

It also must include a 14lb sledge hammer as well, to do it properly. A steam anvil works for anything that fits in the jaws, but is a little non portable. |

I've been lurking around here for a while, checking things out, deciding if I should get involved. I see a few repeat offenders who are just plain rude and it makes me wonder. You all know who I'm talking about. I guess it's the same everywhere. :-\ These rude people often have valuable opinions, however my feeling is that the atmosphere they create is far more negative than the positive they might create. It seems to me it would be easy enough to put these people on moderation, and any rude postings could just be deleted. This would cause them to change their ways or just go away, and the burden would not be so great because it's likely less than a half dozen that are like this. Anyway just wanted to clear the air, I think I'll go back to lurking for a bit longer. |

yes there are a few "difficult" people and you are welcome to highlight any problem posts you see. A number of posts have been removed in the past. The object of this thread was to explain that anything other than abuse cannot be removed as otherwise we'd end up deleting alot of the forum and I created this thread because I was getting a lot of petty reports after we cracked down on abusive posts because when people realized we were taking stronger views they started reporting anything and everything just because they did't like it personally. The troublesome people have not posted too many directly abusive posts and they will dealt with swiftly if reported, we don't have the time to moderate people on a post by post basis. I've seen forums go wrong before when on a "certain other forum" that I left because it was the moderators that were running their own little regimes and are the villains. On here that will not happen, I am no expert and won't be using my moderator status to shove my view on how electronics works I was made a moderator because I took a fair view and tried to see both sides not for any technical expertise, and I'm sure the same goes for other moderators. |
| GeoffS:
SPAM of course is the other reason to remove a post. We get surprisingly little of this considering. I agree with simon, there are a lot of annoying people posting here butas long as they are within the rules Dave sets, they're post are acceptable. |
