there seems to be loads of keyboard warriors, utter fkwits and children on PH of late, ruining perfectly good threads and the whole of General Motorsport forum and basically turning PH into less of a nice place to be?
Now Haymarket actually pays people to look after the site, any chance we could have a few more mods?

Cheers

Can't say I agree. I think they turn up pretty quickly as things take a turn for the worse.

Too quickly sometimes biggrin

Moderators aren't paid. Employees of Haymarket who have admin access to PH are.

Perhaps an email might work as I doubt that a thread in P&P will get much attention from the powers that be.

i just thought perhaps a few more 'paid' mods may help look through the thousands of new topics each day smile

but perhaps im just becoming a grumpy old git!

If someones post pisses you off use the report button. That way a mod can come along to see what gives.

NO it is all volunteer work.


Hence why i get really pissed off when people attack them.
They do a thankless task and don't get paid for it.

Really?
They sound like the message board version of 'Special Constables'.

People who are so power crazed that they give up their time for nothing, simply to be able to boss people about.

Careful with that question, you may find yourself following the same path as Nu Labour...

To be fair, i dont thin k the majority of mods are power crazy and like to boss people about, but as always, you do get some who abuse their position! However, i have yet to see this on this site(admittedly i dont spend all day here, but nonetheless)!

Sorry chaps but i'm moving this for two reasons:

One- it's the place we look for website feedback

Two- I will not allow it to become a thread about PH mods and why they choose to dedicate time to PH. They do a very good job, usually for no thanks whatsoever from PHers for keeping the site in order.

But, that aside. I agree that P&P needs tidying up, in fact PH does in general (forum wise) and I can assure you that it is VERY high on the agenda.

In fact, I do thank you for starting the thread as it shows that it's not just is that thinks it needs a shake up.

Oh, and sorry again for moving the thread but being in here keeps it on topic, useful and relevant and therefore gives us some useful feedback to act upon smile

I'd rather the site was policed correctly as opposed to some of the inanae drivel that goes on.
So if that makes it the specials Message board then so be it, and then perhaps some of the stupidity may just fade away, and bring PH back to the site it was not so long ago.
