The Weekly 'Is TV Forum Down?' Thread

[Gavin Scott]

Jebus H. Crimminy, what is it with this "653208" person?

I know he's dyslexic, but no stretch of my ample imagination can help me understand what he is saying.

Why oh why oh why doesn't one of the moderators have a quiet word with him about his incessant posting?

Very true.

It wouldn't surprise me if Rob and Dunedin are labouring under the misaprehension that they will be given an hour or two on the news channel should another strike come along.

Cos that would pack em' in the aisles, wouldn't it?

I'm going to reproduce what follows here because I just have this very strange feeling that the original thread, over in TVF, might suddenly and mysteriously, disappear.

It is getting to the point that long-standing members are not getting treated very well, compared to the newer members who are practically getting kissed.

This is also my current perception, as may well have been gleaned from some of my recent posts.

The situation on here is now very similar to the "political correctness gone mad" situation out in the real world.

The moderators here appear to be bending over backwards to support the dullards, the dyslexic, the retarded and the ignorant, at the expense of the more intelligent members who now get little or no support, and regular criticism if they so much as dare to make a comment on one of the former category.

That is exactly why I gave up trying to draw attention to the threads started by these lesser mortals, in any other way than simply publishing a picture of a train. My hope in publishing a picture of a mode of transport was that they might just understand that the implied second word was "off".

Gavin mentioned at the top of this thread the matter of cause and effect. It should be obvious to everyone that the idiotic threads from morons are clearly the cause in this argument and the pictures of trains are simply an effect.

To attack the effect, rather than the cause never gets anyone anywhere, in life, or on an internet forum.

The cause of the problem, the moronic idiots, need to be culled if we are to retain any form of intelligent intercourse in this place; that is, of course, unless the administrator and moderators really do want to reduce all discussions here to the lowest common denominator, with no intelligent input and every post badly constructed, mis-spelled and mainly consisting of "txt spk".

Our administrator has made it pretty clear in the past, that he wants this place to be "open to all". In the past, however, we have been lucky enough to have a clear majority who have the power of intelligent discussion, with only a relatively small number of idiots on board.

A decision now needs to be made, and published, so if the current, perceived, policy of supporting the fools, to the detriment of the huge band of loyal members, is to be the future norm for this place, then those of us who delight in intelligent discussion can make our own decisions on a future home.

Why do you think it might "suddenly and mysteriously, disappear"? I've never known the moderation on TVF to be like that of Digital Spy whereby any sort of discussion of the forum on the forum results in a ban or your thread being canned.

Or am I being blonde tonight?

Well knowing TVF at the moment, I wouldn't be surprised.

Charlie Wells:

blah blah blah blah blah I'm a moderator now hahahahaha. Use the Report a Post button, I'm now going to lock this thread and have it off with 653208 8)

[wells]

I like 653208 he makes my spelling in posts look good.

[Adders]

Charlie had a promising start but he's gone rapidly downhill in the quality of his moderating.

[wells]

I like the man but he should have the job on the basis of his surname IMHO. 8)

Though I've had a few ciders so I might not be completely grammatically correct but the intention is there...
