Mods on the site

[Rob van der Does]

And indeed: we're all human.
Speaking for myself: I can't stand a problem being posted without any relevant info being given. You know, a posting like 'Help, my box doesn't do XYZ' without even telling what box (let alone what image and what has been tried) .....

Communication is always two-way; on asking a question one has to try to explain oneself, to try to put oneself in the shoes of the one who reads the question. This applies in real live (but at least you can see ones astonishment) and even more so in written communication.
And indeed: in those cases I tend to be a bit curtly; I admit guilt.

lol, i have been a mod and admin for close to 15 years on a number of sites, some long gone and closed up shop, some still around. At one point in time i'll admit i had a reputation as a bad tempered moron who would lash out at the simplest thing, those days are long gone now, but the hulk does show him self from time to time against my better judgement.

Thing is even in real life i cant stand people who blatantly sprout crap when i know better, especially if it's a topic i consider my self to be well versed in, and those are the times when i tend to bite back out of pure frustration, but as i said above if you ever feel any of us has stepped out of line ( my self included ) PM one of the admins and it will be sorted.



Just one more thing to add.

If i ever thought i my self was bringing the forum down i would gladly tender my resignation with sicilian as would most if not all of the staff we have.

I can vouch for that I was a member of a site that pheonix was on a number of years ago that no longer exists that if you posted this you would have had a life time ban lol . Now hes a big soft teddy bear but to be fair he was always a great help and is one of the most active member on here and on there when it was running. Ohh just ban he dude00 lol

Just have to say folks, only for this site & the help of all the mods/members I'd be still scratchin my head, & probably would have flung the reciever at the wall.
"We're all only human" and unfortunately not everyday is better then the previous, so a reply can be absorbed depending on the mood of the receiver.
A big thumbs up to all members who give their time & patience to all new & not so new requests.

just my 2 cents worth, been here around 6 months ish and have asked questions on satellite receiver issues when stuck and have got answers usually in less then 24 hours so cannot fault the site mods on that at all, sometimes when an answer is given especially a written one it can be misinterpreted as a kinda "oh hes an arsy sod" when that probably isnt the case, text is a sod for that!

not sure about any other users, but if you feel theres a piece of advice thats shall we say, a tad iffy, speak your mind on it, everyone is open to learning something new, opinions are like asssholes we all have one

After a couple german forums where you feel isolated and ignored i feel home here.
Vix team images with minimum extentions offer a lot of free space and keep me here

[pooface]

Right, that's it, this thread is being closed, and all members who'd posted in it, give a 2 week ban!!!!!!

As has been said though, sometimes we have bad days, and things are written abruptly. But also, there's also lots of messages where someone says something like "I have a problem, what could it be?!" Well, we don't know, and unable to find out unless you tell us

But nothing is personal, and we do just try to help out, sarcastic comments and all included...

Yes we do allow users to post their views, the fact that you have made this post and its still here shows how lenient we are on this forum, i know many others where a user would have been banned for less, we wont however tolerate pointless rants with no purpose other than to cause trouble.

No i`m not causing trouble, its called putting over one`s point, and the point is........ i have a cartoon avatar that i believe is harmless, and i fail to see why i must remove it, it is not offensive, its not religous, its not vindictive, its a cartoon avatar, nothing more, nothing less, just a cartoon avatar, [ and a pointless rant with no purpose other than to cause trouble ] was never my intension, but i do believe i am entitle to a answer as to why it must be removed.....

So can my post please be put back up on the open forum, and lets have some democratic views on the subject !!

[ronand]

When did democracy have anything to do with the running of a forum? Give the masses a say and anarchy will result.

[Rob van der Does]

Well, I do find your avatar a sign of bad taste. And on a serious forum like ours I even find it offending, simple as that.
And I'm absolutely not interested in where you got it from; it's really quite easy to find all kinds of stuff showing bad taste.

And as you say the avatar means nothing for you, I fail to see why you wouldn't want to change it then when kindly asked to do so. It would be a sign of good taste, and normal, polite behaviour, to do so.
