Here i the U.S. people buy their fair share of cheap junk. After all, we invented the WalMart Super Store and needed to fill it with cheap junk nobody really needs. But the prices are so cheap, you can't stay out of the damn place! |

You didn't stop to consider that it may have been Dave who locked the thread? He's also a moderator. |

It never ends well, the forum eventually dies because slowly they annoy all the regular posters and they give up posting. --- End quote --- You are so wide of the mark that it's offensive. Moderating is a bit of a chore and with comments like yours is fast becoming not worth the hassle as sorting out some petty spats takes so much time and no we are not all seeing so can only do our best with the thread in hand at the time, when the forum is rampant with mud throwing fights and spam you will also be complaining about mods who can't be bothered. Moderating requests are rising as the forum grows and it's more difficult to keep tabs on people and things get pettier or people can't care less about what they say that because they think it does not matter on the internet. You should try moderating yourself, then you would see that it's not so fun and easy. I don't mind being of service to the community but I'm not about to have my time wasted. |

What Simon said! Removing the spam and moving posts around is the easy bit. Keeping threads on track, deleting offending posts, warning users is a thankless but necessary task, necessary to the smooth running of the forum. Occasionally a user will post a complaint about a deleted post or locked thread and gain some sympathy from others who don't get to see the full picture or know what's going on behind the scenes.. Be assured that if Dave thinks moderation is out of hand, he'll step in and correct it, After all, this forum is part of his livelihood. |

It seems like GeoffS gets stuck with most of the OT load, maybe somebody could help lighten that a bit. |
