We used to have people posting on ETC. every minute and it was fun. Now 15 minutes or more go between posts. People are afraid to post and unhappy with the direction that this site is taking.

I for one am neither wholly unhappy, nor afraid to post... I am simply disgruntled and my interest is waning - I have no interest to post to a site that is becoming more and more politically correct in the interests of the few while ignoring the concerns of a majority of it's oldest-standing, active members.

But I like conversation and it's a great alternative to work, so here I am. I guess I'm contributing to the problem, I suppose.

I enjoy the site Rob and never think anything needs to change really. I would repeat I think it is improtant that memebers never be under age and be reported asap as policy suggests

How about the option that when a person posts in a thread that his or her favored formatting "style" [font type, font color, justification ect] is applied by default?
My favored style is blue verdana and bold, centered, for example

It was just a random thought, you may now return to your regularly scheduled cup of coffee. :biggrin1:

Nah that's just because of some fakes on the site. People are afraid now to get banned after all the drama since December, Even still we have to speak out about what's right and fakes and aliases are not!!1! People PM all the time about this. I don't say alot that I want to because obv I don't want to get banned too but there are dome weird folks here disrupting things! IMHO.

I agree with Mem, when are the mods going to astutely deal with the unpleasant characters that stalk this site unsolicited? When will the mods understand just how important this is to a healthy and productive forum?
Take note please guys.

I was chided for posting several times in a short span of time. I have been on boards which have a timer of some soort which requires a space of a minute or 2 between posts. I don't know if that's a possibility or not for this board, it seems it might be useful.

Please forgive if this has been requested, as I haven't the time to read through all 21 pages of this thread.
I'm thrilled we now have the option to remove photo attachments we've added to posts we've made. I'd like to also request (if possible) the ability to delete entire posts we've made in the past. I'm sure I'm not the only one who occasionally goes back and reads things said way back when that aren't particularly something we'd say today...

Starting or responding to several threads within a short amount of time isn't a problem in itself, assuming you've allowed time to think your post through before posing.
What is a problem is when somebody posts the same thing in more than one place, as that will be viewed as flooding.

:redface:

It is not possible to delete older posts due to the fact that it would make it next to impossible for other members to read the thread the post was written in.
Exceptions are sometimes made by the moderating team if there have been no responses by other members made to the thread in question.

Don't know if this has been posted before (apologies if it has, there are a LOT of posts to read through) I think it would be cool to have a lpsg instant messenger (like the one on aff) so we could chat one on one on the site without having to be logged into group chat. I've met some cool people that way on aff, and think it would be a nice feature. All I can think of at the moment...

Some sort of term limits for moderators and administrators.


Let's say 9 months, with a year between terms, a total of 4 terms for a moderator (3 years total). 18 months with a year between terms and a total of 3 terms for an administrator (4.5 years total).

To become an admin, a required term as a moderator would be needed(the mod can go directly to admin.) Other than a moderator becoming an admin immediately after a term as moderator, there must be a year interim before decisional voting level service (and the mod to admin.level immediate transition can only be done once, their choice when, either after first, second, third or fourth term as admin.) During that time, they may serve (if they choose) as an advisor to the replacement crew. An admin, may not become a moderator without the 1 year space of time.

Lastly no future admin/mod should serve more than 6 years total, assembled in combined service (space between terms, not included).

I think it would be good to have a change of Administrators and Moderators at set intervals. Have them serve terms of 1-2 years, then they rotate off like a board, and have them staggered so there are always old and new working together.

Ooops-:redface: I should have read that before my post.

Can non gold members not post new threads now ?
In stead of bringing a dead thread back to life after 10 years.
Wouldn't it have been easier and more resourceful posting a question in the " SUPPORT" forum? "OR" Even better!?!?! Messaging the Admin/Owner @Mr. LPSG directly?

or perhaps if I could I would have put it in a NEW thread if I had been able.
