You get a gold medal when your thread gets moved to the sandpit.



(Damn, it seems I've missed some action! Where? When? Who? How?)

Maybe we should rename the Main board the Sandpit and visa versa......save time moving all those threads

The way I see forums.
There are several different types of posters.
1) The one who's here to pass on their 2 cents along with everyone else and enjoy the banter
2) The one who's here to shove their opinion down everyone's throat and gets upset if people disagree or get bored with the monotony of the poster
3) the one who's here to read only the ON TOPIC threads.
4) The mods/admins who are here, voluntarily, to try and keep the peace.

Posters in 1) and 3) get tired of posters in 2).

Posters in 4) get tired of posters in 1) and 3) who are then complaining about the posters in 2. (although we are appreciative of their assistance in pointing out problematic posts). It takes the enjoyment and fun out of coming here.

Posters in 2) get tired if posters in 4) telling them that we don't play like that here.

Posters in 4) then cop the wrath of the posters in 2) for trying to do their job, and sometimes from posters in 1) and 3) because posters in 4) don't appear to be doing their job.

Posters in 4) wish there was a poster 5) group so they could cop the abuse, but that doesn't exist.

So to posters in 1), 3) and 4), thank you keep up the good work, and we love you for your contributions.

Posters in 2) lift your game.

To everyone, we've said it before and we'll say it again:
please keep threads mostly on topic.
Please keep personal attacks out of posts, no matter how small, coz people tend to bite back, and that's when things get out of control.

Thanks. (poster 4))
Oh and just for your interest, I'm a mod/admin on several other sites besides RWO, so I think I have a pretty good idea about what goes on in Forums, and I see this behaviour all the time. I prefer to lose people in group 2) than the others, as group 2) cause the most work and headaches for all other groups.
I know too many good contributors to RWO and the others sites I'm on who have walked away due to one or two clowns from group 2)

I think there should be a "Poster 6" for those who don't like being categorised........runs and hides

People in Cat 7 are terribly afflicted by this. I am sadly one of those.

Thanks liz.
That was a big oopsie.
At least I know someone read it and understood it.

So it was a typo??

I thought nothing of it and just assumed you were saying those in type 3) were a PIA because they were forever complaining that threads were going off topic.... lol

So can we take it that you consider yourself as a type 1 RWOer?
