hey moggster.. I'm always reading you guys in there, some classic banter. My point was that awesome title and then all the fun. Could do with a lot more like that in other areas of the site.

The DVB forum is rife with off-topic nonsense. Here's my take on it. Off-topic comments are ok as long as those posts actually give help/info too, but what we have instead are endless pages of "hi mate how are you" etc etc etc..

/rant over, need to get off the pc as lurking on such DVB threads takes too much time that could be better spent elsewhere.
/will only tolerate the crap in those threads for a little longer..

It's like i said, there's being friendly/having fun along with helping in posts, and then there's just wasting pages of threads with idle banter. The only place it seems to go too far is in DVB. Bans aren't what i'm hinting at, but if threads keep being abused they'll get closed.
I certainly don't like the spare time i put aside for forums being taken up with pages of "alright, mate".

That's all i'm saying. Today I spent literally about 90mins cleaning up after about 2dozen spammers that had escaped capture and the last thing i wanted to do after that was go thru other emails that were, well, pointless.

The point creaky is trying to get across mogg is that there other places for the chat, such as IRC and MSN etc. Did you know that AD has an IRC channel?

Now this is where this always goes, people who feel they're entitled to post unnecessary stuff start moaning, then i feel that i'm wasting my time as the time i spend here is (mostly) to keep the place clean.
No-one is forced to post, and by the same token neither am i. It's just that i don't feel entitled to post crap just because i spend quite a bit of time here.

Asking people to not abuse the place is not nit-picking, it's all about balance.
And on that note it's midnight here so i'm off to do some other stuff for a bit.

Had you considered i/we already turn a blind eye, and far too often as it is ??..

And there's nothing else i can add. I too come here to relax but we can't please all of the people all of the time so i will cease my boring comments :)
