If you looked, the starter of that thread, and some of the others who were the most active in wanting a new St Mawgan/Newquay section were still active contributors to this forum and are not members of a new forum set up specifically for the South West, so that sentence really makes little sense.Dunk wrote:A lot of noise from some of those that have started their own little gang, and refuse to post here, but remain vociferous about wanting St Mawgan added....

BouncyT - you have indeed written extensively in threads as you have pointed out. And, as i pointed out to you via PM only a couple of weeks ago we responded directly too you with out reasons as to why we didn't feel your suggestions would work. This was in November and you thanks us for the response and would get back to us after you had considered them. Have we heard from you? Well, yes, but other than calling us children, no response or attempt to be constructive or even a comment on what was sent previously.bouncyt wrote:Well said Dave and thank you EGCC for pointing out where you think we should be posting suggestions.
Since as stated they are looking to make changes, I looked in vain for an admin lead thread with their suggestions and an invitation for discussion. I can't find that.
For a start there needs to be profiles of typical users and an understanding of how they use the forum.
Each of the sections needs to be designed so they can be user friendly for the profile of user that they are designed for.
I get the feeling that any changes that will be made will be arrived as a result of a pub discussion and unless one meets the profile of the admins ones needs will not be taken into consideration.
I have written extensively in previous threads of how I used FC and why heads up/OTT did not work for me. Those posts were deleted when a thread was deleted because of the actions of an individual impersonating a moderator.
Guys do your brain storm, put up your findings, and then invite comments. You can go back to the deleted threads as admin and find my remarks.
PS if you want to apply non existent rules retrospectively to the south west at at least have the good grace to apply the rules that do exist to all other sections.

I understand why many threads in this section were considered to be in the wrong section, and I agreed for a lot of them, but as Dave has stated, the whole section is up for people's interpretation. There were (at the time) no set rules for the type of posts allowed in this section, and indeed, it wasn't just the SW section posting things that woluld now be outside the of the section's description.

In the OTT section because that's where they go ! With PP I'm interested in activity all over the UK and to check every section is ridiculous when they should all be in one place.
Can you boys stop giving us SW members a bad name and just post in the right place.

That's an interesting post Kyle, can you explain who that "certain individual" was please?KyleG wrote:Well for me at least, it wasn't about whether the posts were in the right section or not (and in many occasions I'd agree they weren't), but more about the attitude displayed towards some of the most active contributors to this section by a certain individual.
I'm bored of trying to mediate between grown adults. Location of people posting is irrelevant as this is, by its nature, a location diverse hobby. How about we all develop a sense of humiliation? Constant sniping between parties does not help nor benefit.15 - Respect the decisions of the ADMINISTRATION TEAM.
