Changes to the forum

[VLS]

- We are getting rid of personal sections, everybody is a regular poster and uses the regular sections, including myself.

- No more times for a "wendel comeback" or any other poorly-perceived member which has been already banned.

- Albalaha gets on "probation stage". All his posts are going to be moderated until further notice (i.e. I must read what he posts before it hits the forum's pages).

That's it for the moment.

Thanks Victor, I do agree!!  Ken

Hmmmm...

We are getting rid of personal sections, everybody is a regular poster and uses the regular sections, including myself.

One of things that made this forum different was the personal sections.
Kept things neat and tidy.
And we could post our point of view in our own section.
Then if people wanted to.
They could go and visit that personal section.
See what they had to say.

So your saying all personal sections going?

[Bayes]

Good move Victor, let's have a level playing field. 

[Illuzionn]

I think it's a good choice, I never understood why some people got a personal subforum

@Thomas

Yes Tom, too much fuzz kicking about them.

We are all leveled now and use regular sections. Heat over.



I'll try relocating all the topics in proper places, beside some topics (specially at albalaha's section) simply won't make it throough the cleanup (i.e. steve you are great, celticcasino fraud, sold system promotion...).

I think it originally started out as a subforum for members to post there rants in there own section.
Where you could be identified with your own views.
In your very own section.

Ahh the privileged class. ROFL...

Only wish more people would have there own sections.

Members...
Speak up...
We can't hear you.

In England we would call him a Wanker.

[ThomasGrant]

It's a shame...
But I understand.

Keep a level playing field.
No one person has a personal section.
Hmmm...
Bugger...
Cant even rant and rave in my own room now.
Will have to resort to blogs.

All for the best I suppose.

Victor has the overall right to do as he wishes.
It is his forum after all.

We are all just along for the ride.

I at least would like to take this opportunity to say thank you
for letting me rant and rave in my own section.

Even though I at times go on a bit.

[VLS]

We still have a "General Section" Tom

Quite a way to ask for account activation!

I'm kind of divided on the personal sections.

As originally envisioned, they made perfect sense.  An area for a specific writer to collect and run with his ideas.  Thomas was a good example of that.

However, some times things just don't go as planned and it was a pretty good experiment.

I can see it possibly coming back in the future, but perhaps with a bit more guidelines for the authors of thier own sections.

Although I have the choice to read anyone's section as I see fit, if there was a bad section leader, there was no point in reading it.   That doesn't solve the immediate problem of a bad section running wild and causing more damage to the forum as a whole.

So, for the time being, I'll tend to lean toward's Victor's current plan to shut down the personal areas, but I'd leave the option to reopen them in the future if some better ground rules can be worked out.
