There seems to be some over active moderating on the above site from someone and a lot of threads are being deleted . Is this a better site as regards friendliness and fairness? Any "idiots" posting regularly ?
'Over-moderating' no. Never happens on here You'll still get the same result for asking a question in the sparks section though
I was just looking at the thread regarding thread deletion and excessive moderation. Funny enough we only discussed this a few weeks ago here, that allowing members to moderate others posts would have been a good idea. But I can clearly see that it has failed to work over there. The Mods on here are all Screwfix staff. And for anyone who is interested in the thread: http://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/vanishing-thread-thread-vaniushed-well-locked.476583/
I think the moderating on here should be handed over to Harry and myself. YIPPEEEEEE - NO MORE THREADS!
Peter does a marvellous job under very difficult conditions keeping control of a few idiots on this site who want to always push the barrier a little too far, oh bugger sounds like me!
It is generally a happy place...diy and the like can get quite stuffy at times so nice to keep it a bit up beat! Then there's the sad people who still post when they're on holiday!
