Well Chris if this is what its got to be then thats it, but i think there is more people getting to no one another through the banter section on the main board at the week end rather than going onto chit-chat, and they are enjoying this, there is no fowl lanuage etc, no one getting offended with the banter, its about brininging more people together, and getting to no more pigeon fanciers, this is just my opinion, but if this is what thw Webmaster has set out, its his site at the end of the day, and we are the guys that like this bit of banter.

 

Dougie.

 

I like the banter also Dougie and do participate in times when i take the admin hat off so to speak.

 

Any member can be on the chit chat though so its not like an exclusive board its more out of respect to those that want to talk pigeons and nothing else but pigeons and not have perfectly good threads ruined which is the trend at the minute.

 

Take a look on the notice board or in the portal and look at how many threads are actually pigeon related and those that are having a laugh.

 

I cant speak for all the mods but im sure a good % of them would like to participate in having a good laugh and a joke as well but as with the guidelines they are spending more time having to remove threads, posts and dealing with complaints etc.

 

This site can in my opinion can rightly be regarded as the best pigeon site on the web anywhere in the world - To keep it this way though its important we can seperate the club house style banter and the Pigeons where possible.

 

Hoping my thoughts are coming across in the manner it was intended.

At the end of the day Chris, i doo agree with you on saying this is the best pigeon site, but there is no offence being dealt out to any one through the weekend banter section, there is a lot of guys who doo participate in this after getting help on what they want to no, how many times, if you dont mind me asking, has any-one complained to the MODS/ADMIN about there post being hijacked through any banter, dont think ave read many, why, because they get the answers in a PM because they enjoy the banter and dont wont it to be removed, because they are getting involved in the banter also.

There has been a substantial increase in complaints on members hijacking threads over the last 2-3 months in fairness to what your saying though this has been more so in the week than at weekends - This is something we will certainly have to work on over the coming weeks and months as its putting people off posting new topics and asking questions - Fair enough they may get an anwser in PM to there question but to that end the other members also looking with intrest for responses lose that benefit.

 

The mods and admin are not going to go crazy and pull every thread with a bit of banter on it all we ask is that its kept within reason and if its a serious thread relating to pigeons that it is allowed to run its course freely and sensibly.

 

Quite often when floating around the portal there is a very high % of threads that have gone the way as described above and the original question is lost by not just posts but many pages of banter.

 

At the same time if a thread is removed and the member who posted doesnt agree with the decision the easiest way to deal with it is to either PM a moderator who is online or Fifer or myself and an explanation will be given and in some cases the thread could be reinstated - With the amount of posts the mods have to deal with and the things that need doing behind the scenes it isnt always possible to send a PM to the poster as to why the thread was removed - The mods are obviously members to and they joined for the same reason as the members and thats to enjoy the site - Its a regret of mine that this isnt always possible.
