Congrats Gnomey and Njaco!

 

[Wurger]

I echo all nice wishes here lads.Glad to welcome you both as Mods. Congrats Gents !!!!!!!

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

let me make following simple suggestion:

- restrict this forum to aviation matters only
- no political discussions
- discourage use of slang language inasmuch as many members do not use English as their mother tongue and find difficulties in grasping sense
- discourage the use of vulgar words or idioms
- encourage discussion about serious thematics and discourage useless banter
- no discussions about race or creed superiority
- encourage the use of polite talks

If you think the above is reasonable....
Enjoy your moderation gentlemen!

Shall we call you Mao or Stalin???



Just kidding, while I agree that discussions should be polite, the rest is not going to happen.

Why?

1. This is free world.

2. Freedom of Speech (we do not restrict that where I come from).

3. This is an internet forum, if all those things are restricted the place would be boring!

No smiley faces from me on that post Chris.... If Mr. Pacifist wants a Board like that, he's gonna have to make his own Website and go from there, cause there aint a single oeon the net like what he described....

Unrealistic is an understatement...

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

I agree Dan.

 

[imalko]

List of unrealistic wishes becouse you can't restrict creative thinking and freedom of speech. All you can do is to remain polite and respectful when discussing about something...

You've hit the nail on the head, my friend.

- restrict this forum to aviation matters only

There goes the Off-Topic forum...

- discourage use of slang language inasmuch as many members do not use English as their mother tongue and find difficulties in grasping sense
- discourage the use of vulgar words or idioms

There goes any insight for non-English speaking members into everyday English from ALL nations of the English-speaking world - how do you know they don't want to hear that kind of stuff? Does this legislation extend to the Multilingual Corner?

- encourage discussion about serious thematics and discourage useless banter

There goes my Viper vs X-Wing thread...

 

[lesofprimus]

Piss on him Colin, if he dont like this place he can go somewhere else.... We like it just the way it is....

 

[Marcel]

Congrats Chris and Hugh for a well deserved promotion

 

[Lucky13]

1. Are they gonna flash their "stripes" every five minutes from now on?
2. Do we have to be nice to them now....?

 

[Gnomey]

1) Yes, to you in particular
2) Yes, beer is a good way.

 

[Lucky13]

Oh cr*p!

 

[Njaco]

Funny thing is, I would expect all those points to be common sense and mostly upheld as best as everyone can. As far as the english, which one? I know slang from them redcoats and diggers even gets me once in awhile. Al lgreat points but like life, ain't gonna happen all the time.

Pleasing news -Congratulations Chris and Hugh!

Well damn...

For a second there I thought we were gonna loose our smokin' and drinkin' privileges and, God forbid, the BREAKING NEWS thread too!

 

[Airframes]

Lose the Breaking News thread and I take up crochet! And as for losing the drinkin' privileges, that would be Lucky totally stuffed!

 

[Doughboy]

There goes the sports section.

That already has happened

- discourage the use of vulgar words

I agree.
