More severe moderation in update threads?

[Insuber]

I vote definitely for a more severe moderation of the update threads. I don't mind about people complaining or criticizing, but I cannot stand the deluge of OTs, the quarrels between the usual 2 or 3 people going on for pages and pages, and the nonsense posts of people having 1000+ posts (of mostly nonsense).

It's evident that someone posts their nonsense in the update thread only because they will get more attention there than in a dedicated nonsensical thread.

Nearmiss, I approve your decision of 1 week ban for OT posters ... go on mate (hopefully you won't mismatch again my nick with another one, posting BS ... ).

Cheers,
Insuber

I approve of this fully, and suggest that more severe moderation be applied elsewhere as well.

Sorry we use a flame thrower not TP
TP is for softie Allieds.

Just reset their post count to Zero



Nearmiss /and other moderators.
I dont envy you
Its a tough job getting the balance of it right, you want to have a flow of topics to have an interesting forum,
but not at the expense of poor quality material and subjects and upsetting others just for the sake of it.


S!

The voting figures say it all.I have given up reading the update threads,i just click on Olegs posts,my browsing has gone from alot of minutes to seconds.
It unfortunately does mean i miss out on the few good posts but you leave the rubbish ones alone.
