What a load of bollox and arse-licking. You’ve turned into Rikki’s lap dog since becoming a mod here. There was once a time where (like me) you would tell Rikki he was wrong when he was wrong, but now you’ve turned into some wet blanket “yes Rikki, no Rikki, oh yes I quite agree Rikki” just like all the other mods here who used to actually have an opinion of their own prior mod status.
The SOLE reason the “dinosaurs” have abandoned ship is down to Rikki’s terrible administration and inconsistent application of the forum rules. Ever since he was given the job of running this site and the ‘community manager’ title the forums have being going south (from a content perspective). What this site desperately needs is some proper mods that know what they’re doing and have no allegiance to any other members, like Pam Mix for example: firm but fair (and I’ve had my fair share of posts removed/edited by her in the past before someone screams favouritism). The current team is absolutely hopeless and no-one has the bottle to deal with the root cause of the current issues and that is permanently removing half a dozen-or-so members that are here for no other purpose but to troll and get a rise from certain people. Address that issue and given time you will see many of those that abandoned ship climb back onboard and post stuff that is interesting to debate/discuss instead of having the bunch of ‘one line reply’ posters that the site harbours now.
It’s completely pointless posting anything interesting worthy of discussion/debate anyway as all the articulate members of old are no longer here and you just end up with either 3 pages of one line replies from the pre-pubescent troll gang posting members’ personal details and fake Facebook pages. If you’re lucky you might get a reply from Carryfast instead who will initially stay on topic for 5 mins but then quickly steer it towards his usual anti-German and anti-American Southern State racist slants. Or you could be gay like some here and receive endless tirades of homophobic abuse as replies to anything you post. It’s just BS. Nothing ever gets done to the perpetrators so what is the point of even having any moderators? It is there for nothing more than ornamental purposes.
Trolling… racism… homophobia… inconsistent moderation/complete lack of it… and you wonder why all the prolific posters have disappeared, Mark? It’s all here in front of your eyes chap.
I hate to break this to you, but i disagree with most you say !! I’ve very much an opinion of my own, i’m not part of ANY clique and i’m not afraid to say what i think and as a plus i’m able to do this (mostly !!) within the constraints of the rules we have! Hey, i’ve even had my own posts moderated whilst i’ve been a moderator !!
Some of you fellas come along with sweeping generalisations instead of dealing with points to be raised (or raising them) as they come along. Its no good leaving something for a year and then saying its all this and that now and it wasn’t before. I’d say…oh really, if you’ve so much to say on it why didn’t you mention it before. And then you’re gonna say…yeah i told you about this fella and that fella. And i’m gonna say…he never broke a rule at the time. And then we’ll wind back up here !!! It all goes in circles eh !!!
I’ve said it before, 1% of posters give us 99% of the problems !! I nip them in the bud when and where i can
Just to clarify- no one in the admin or moderating team tolerates me in any way- If I am in their view wrong I get told in no uncertain terms - I hate to break a few peoples hearts - but the mod team will tell you I actually do very little on these forums nowadays- I leave it to their very capable hands- TruckNet is probably about 15% of of my job- But i am more than happy for the abuse/slagging to be thrown my way because it is water of a ducks back
I and the mod team will listen to constructive criticism- wanton abuse will get ignored
and the word used wasnt the one in the title of this thread- the one used towards employess of the company started with “C” and ended with “T” and that was never going to accetpable
And because I’m a ■■■■ up, I’ll just point this little fact out…
Look at any of the forums, they’ve all had lots of new posts since this thread started, things may not suit everybody, but quite a lot of people are getting what they want from the forums
Five surgeons are discussing who were the best patients to operate on.
The first surgeon says, ‘I like to see accountants on my operating table because when you open them up, everything inside is numbered.’
The second responds, ‘Yeah, but you should try electricians! Everything inside them is colour-coded.’
The third surgeon says, ‘No, I really think librarians are the best; everything inside them is in alphabetical order.’
The fourth surgeon chimes in, ‘You know I like construction workers. Those guys always understand when you have a few parts left over at the end, and when the job takes longer than you said it would.’
But the fifth surgeon shut them all up when he observed, ‘You’re all wrong. Trucknet Trolls are the easiest to operate on. There are no guts, no heart, no balls, no brains, and no spine, and there are only two moving parts - the mouth and the backside - and they are interchangeable’.
