Now I'm annoyed...

Well David Bell is the moderator...

2. Once locked, why did Albertw White and Voyager continue to post to that thread?

I'd thought the content of my post was straightforward:

Feedback in the past has been a little thin on the ground when its been asked for. So people, please contribute ideas. Dont worry about the details of implementation of the ideas, that the webmasters job!

As to why? To encourage people to take part, showing that ideas were welcome, and people neednt worry about submitting them even if they dont know how to implement them.

Jeeez what a lousy way to hit my 300th post...

We can delete some and you can try again if you like

Thanks Al. I'd appreciate you responses to the following:

I assume that whoever locked the thread (I think it was Bart) did so in the absence of the designated moderator.

The content of which post was straightforward? Irrespective of that, two further posts were added to the thread after it was locked - whether they were straightforward or not is irrelevent.

I did not receive an answer to question 1. On re-reading some of the previous posts here, it looks like it was locked because the discussion was 'going around in circles'. Am I correct?

Thanks

Dave McD

Dave McD,

I'm currently sending you (and Bart and DaveP) an email on constructivly taking this forward.

Best Wishes,

Myself and Bart are admins of the site, this allows us to handle things when there are no moderators around. You will hardly ever notice this as it involves us reading posts and moving them to more appropriate categories, fixing url or image links in peoples posts etc. The admin in the webmaster, I got appointed by the moderators to help out as I spend a silly amount of time in front of a computer.

The post I quoted was straightforward, and I explained why I posted it.

I did not receive an answer to question 1.

Because I did not lock the thread.

Lets continue this discussion in private...

I'm exceptionally dissapoitned that you, a), think so lowly of me, and b) will refuse to help on anything just because we are not doing everything the way you think it should be done.

The rest of us were disappointed at you Bart for playing a dirty, low card on saying that you were offering your resignation, in retaliation to Dave Powers opinions...

If I am not allowed to make such decisions then you now have my resignation. I cannot be expected to make this place work if I cannot even make the MOST ELEMENTARY of design decisions.

Seanie.
