Only input from me on this forum from now on will be silent.
I'll authorise users and moderate without posting.
If anyone wants advice about Discovery modifications I'll be in the live chat or you can PM me.
Seems the best solution - that way I can't let my personal feelings interfere with the running of the forum.
-
Oh come on Neil.
Reconsider
-
Have I missed something??? :-s :-s :-s :-s
-
Well that's just bloomin daft Neil
I am surprised that you are letting one posters comments get to you so much that you will even consider this
Noli nothis permittere te terere - and all that ! :wink:
-
It was with a great deal of surprise and an equal amount of sadness that I found this post on here Thrasher. :(
I am sure I am not the only member who has delighted in reading past posts and topics, within all areas of the forum, made all the more interesting, captivating and amusing by your own brand of wit and wealth of knowledge....and I'm sure I can say with great certainty you will be greatly missed by your absence if you refrain from posting because of the infantile mentality reflected by two particular members. Perhaps this isn't the only reason behind your decision, but I'm darn sure it's contributed towards it.
My only reservation is that they may be prompted into baiting you further, in order for you to go back on your word (...I'm sure they are of the same ilk that taunt the guards at Buckingham Palace)...so please don't give them the satisfaction of even trying....
-
that one posters comments get to me too
-
neil, suerly not :cry: :cry:
have i missed something matt ?
-
Many of us would be much happier if you abused your admin rights and banned a few folk. Go on, just this once! :D
Dont run away. I dont know you, never met you. I do know who would be more of a loss to the forum though.
-
Neil... don't get browbeaten and hacked off with certain people... You don't post and there will be a couple of smug people about...
Personal attacks are a good reason to ban people..., do that rather than stop posting...
-
just want to say ive never met you,dont know you but
dont go away mate,your input and advice will be soley missed bye a fer few people,
hope you reconsider mate :(

I've missed it as well, but as far as i am aware, Neil, Mud Club was your idea, you put it together and you developed it, mainly because of the idiots on "other" forums.
If someone has annoyed you to such an extent that you are concidering this silent roll, then its time to put your foot down and ban them.
Remember that old adage "dont get mad, get even".
regards
wizard :twisted:

Well here is another member sad to see your post. I have never had the pleasure of meeting you but had a few laughs with you and some more of the admin team in live chat........... maybe I shall have to visit that section more often now :(
-
Same at this end mate-never met you but always read your sound comments and suggestions,always given freely and without prejudice. Exercise your rights as founder/moderator as i'm sure their is a few HUNDRED if not THOUSAND that will stand/support you,cheers Andy.

I've been trying not to get drawn into this fight since that would lead to accusations of favoritism, however here is the definitive word from me ..
I arrived this morning having not had much sleep to find a forum full of arguments and accusations, this is not what I signed up for, this is also not an enjoyable thing for me to wake up and experience.
I tried to stem the argument last night by telling all concerned to shut up, however this notice was ignored by a person who has been repeatedly warned that "having the last word" is not always the best policy. He was then placed on probation not for the attack against another member but by failing to take a polite hint that he should refrain from getting further involved.
This hint was further ignored and the member continued to post argumentative posts, these were by and large moderated by a third party moderator (i.e. not the two who had been previously dealing with the subject).
This third party received a noticed this morning that the member in question was intending on leaving the club.
Having issued numerous (countless) warnings and having tried to be as patient as possible I have this morning honoured that intention and removed his account. Note, only his account the posts remain as do everyone elses.
-
Its a new morning Nelly and gone beer-o-clock. Dont let one person get you down, and as pointed out, problem solved anyways.
-
Com on Neil, your input is vital on this site.
-
Neil dont give in to the few when many value your input please think again
simon :cry:
-
Ditto what Simon said.
Cheers
:(
Eeyore
-
Don't let anyone get you down mate. Like all of us you are who you are and if they don't like it tough. :wink:
But said that I think 99.9 % of us do like you and your advice and humour. :D
Rich
-
Get that Babel fish back in your lug 'ole, and stay.
Your posts aways make me smile (apart from the technical ones, and I tend to stay off that forum, as it always gives me a headache!)
Don't let the thoughtless words and actions of a few put you off. As a Mod, you will always get chumps trying to have a go, the vast majority of us support the mods, as you are there as an impartial adjudicator in most cases.
You'll be missed if you go! :(
-
Thrasher - don't give up please!
For one idiot who offends you, there are 1000's of others who view these forums who appreciate what you do.....
-
Ditto
-
don't give up or give in, sometimes its jealousy that makes people act the way they do! i work in a school and the amount of grief i i get over the holidays they get well i wish i had a pound for every one we could retire!
especially when ofsted put the school into special measures!
don't give in or stop posting

Sorry to hear that, I only heard second-hand what's been going on.
I dissinvolved myself from the SEOC comittee because I wasn't enjoying it anymore. This is supposed to be our hobbie isn't it? what we do to relax from all the people making our working lives harder.
But if you feel it's time to take a break it's your decision, I just hope you stick around :wink:
All the best.
-
Speaking from experience:
Don't let the persons of questionable parentage drag you down. :wink:
-
For an argument to take place there has to be more than one involved so lets not just juge to much, and let all get on with life in the real world.
Just my open view...............
-
You've got to make your own decisions, there's no point in you getting involved if it's going to ruin your day.
However, at the end of the day this is YOUR forum and imho the admins have every right to get emotionally involved in the running of it. Otherwise isn't it like squatters moving into your front room and making your life miserable enough that you go and live in the shed?
I've known you from Internet forums since well before the days of mud-club and it would be a real shame not to have your input.
-
Thrasher,
I just read the thread in question and couln't believe what I was reading, some people just go out looking for trouble and they look for a scapegoat (no, not an eilduck!) unfortuantly, it looks like you were that scapegoat, don't listen to a word that was said, I don't think you are any of the comments mentioned and i've 'known' you from both here and the DOC.
Well done datalas for dealing with the offender, maybe we can get back to the peaceful forum that we knew and loved before.

Ahem, less of the Scape GOAT please. :wink:

-
I've been off line too long, whats been going on???
/me go's of to find the offencive thread
:?
-
i haven't the faintest what has happened on here but Thrasher please know that we all have a hell of a lot of respect for you and your comments, please don't go.
-
If you don't start posting again, I'le come around and force feed you more chicken tikka.... :wink: :shock:
Until you beg to post...
-
I found and read the thread.
Wow!
That got *slightly* off topic :shock:
Without bringing old news back up..but, why do people keep on judging books by their covers?
Once you get past the suit of armour, Neil's a nice guy.
He had our family over for a BBQ and drinks whilst we were at Billing last year, Let SWMBO drive his brand new car (at big speeds too :lol: ), always buys a round of drinks at the bar and is very generous in life
Make your own opinions on people you've met, not just heard about.
Mad :roll:
-
Look, Neil, I've never met you in person, and god knows we've had a couple of virtual run-ins. Nevertheless, since day 1 you've struck me as someone with his head properly screwed on (albeit the quality of the screws is questionable). If someone cannot or will not behave other than like a total moron, I very much doubt that it is any of your doing.If you stop posting, as someone said, they'll feel vindicated. Someone quite wise said once:
Take off your pants, and slide in the ice.
On top of that, we all need a Range Rover driver to take the mickey off :D
-
Having seen the thread and the status of the other protagonist ie on probation, how come was it allowed to get so far out of joint as to lead to a forum primary leaving?
-
Why is it so many forums are still in cabin fever melt down at the end of this summer (and not only here....)
Thrasher..take a tip what evers been posted...look on yer drive man...smiling yet?..post where you want to and enjoy life :wink: 8)
-
Neil
On behalf of all the West Midlands crew, we are 110% behind you and all the nice people (Mods included :wink: ) who make MC "The Club" to be in.......
You'll always have sad little pooh's wanting to have a go......., they need to get a life, the nice people on here already do.......
Chris & Wendy

i have never had the pleasure of meeting you
I have, not a pretty sight :wink: :lol: but even so would be sadly missed if he doesn't pop his head up again.
Neil (Thrasher) was the chairman of the DOC when I first met him and was a pleasure to work alongside. So come on Neil, we've been through this before and come out the other side to fight another day. Life's too short!!!! :wink:
-
Well, thankyou for all your comments, and PM's. I was happily moderating the forum and spotted a want I could fulfill. Posted... then thought ....
So it just goes to show, that I've not got the will power to resist posting :roll:
{removes chicken tikka from ears}
-
No we new you hadn't :lol: resistance is futile or something like that. :roll:
-
Well, it's been a while since I've had an opportunity to check out MC (been starting my own new business AND working nights). Another fight.
Neil, you prat! I HAVE had the fortune to meet you (albeit a long time ago, probably before MC existed), and you're a top bloke.
However, I'm going to stick my neck out and call you childish. :D <- BIG SMILEY
You're missed on "that mailing list" (certainly by me), and MC certainly won't be the same without your ramblings. Don't let the [avoid expletive filter :) ]s grind you down. Just ignore them, for my/our own selfish benefit.
-
What the hell has gone on in here But I could guess what and who....
Neil
Reconsider have a few days away....come back refreshed...
Darren
-
i guessed who first time :roll:
-
Hey , do you remember that Thrasher bloke,used to post on here now and again. he was alright.
wizard :twisted:
-
Neil
You've got to fight for what you want
For all that you believe
It's right to fight for what we want
To live the way we please
------------
As long as we have done our best
Then no one can do more
Don't let the [!Expletive Deleted!] grind you down but most of all don't sweat the small stuff.

Did someone mention Chicken Tikka? :lol: :lol:
