Forum changes - your views please

That reminds me ... may we have TPD back yet pretty please?

Yes, but only if you start posting that endless tulip in a thread that I created...

Rep works well on other forums. You can't give rep until you've made a number of contributions in serious subforums. And the amount you can give or take away is limited according to how much you have, and a daily quota. Tit-for-tat repping would be against the T&Cs.

There's also groan and thank buttons, which can be limited to subforums. Where both systems are used, you tend to find the rep system is less abused. And a groan from someone you don't like is taken as a badge of honour!

Good point. Nothing ever gets posted on CUK that is against the T&Cs. Ever. I've not seen any profanity or obscenity (I mean, that's what the "Report Post" button is for - so that if it occurs the crack team of moderators can swoop in and immediately leave it there if the poster is someone they like). I've never seen any personal attacks on other users. I've never seen any defamatory, obscene, indecent, lewd, pornographic, violent, abusive, insulting, threatening or harassing comments. I've never seen anyone stray from the discussion topic.

Thank goodness for the T&Cs - they'll save the board!

Good point. Sorry, the new T&Cs being worked out, with the new subforums, when everything has settled down, and we're one big happy family again.

With the likes of AtW, SB, MF and Churchy in the mix, that's likely to make the Adams family look like the Osmonds.

Someone in a different thread had suggested that having a title structure that starts with newbies being "Not worth listening to" didn't necessarily endear the site to new posters.

When this version of the board was first being set up, there were a few suggestions about what they should be, for example:

Couldn't we just mark ATW as 'single, no mates and sitting in his bedroom'. A status which will never change!

Thanks. Here are some ideals:

1) Using esteemed (sp?) members nicks to build the ladder, starting form the lowest forms of life and working its way up, ie (remember lowest first):

I'd suggest something like

• Not allowed to swear
• Can say ******
• Can call MF a ****
• Can call anyone a ****
• Bulletproof

would give a clear indication of where we stand.
