Steve, I know u have spoken to Neil, but can i just say that we dont monitor just for swearing or bad language.We have to make sure that no illegal content is uploaded, no links to inappropiate sites are posted, that no bullying occurs, we check for spam and if any is found it is removed. Over the past few weeks there has been increased spam postings which if hadnt of been removed would have clogged up the boards no end.Some of it is caught as soon as it is posted so a lot of it you dont see, We now recieve messages/pms from newbies needing help from how to make that first post or how to navigate the site, which before may have been posted on the site. We are here to help, and this thread was started to see how we could help you and for you to give us ideas on how we could improve. Yes this site has changed over the past few months and i feel that i have changed over the past few months aswell,i try not to post rubbish on the important threads and keep it to the threads where it belongs.Some may disagree with me but im not perfect.. I know that i was a controversial choice as a mod..but i am doing my utmost to do the job as well and as fair as i can.It is not easy having to edit a members post, or ask them to change an avatar/sig/pic.. I do appologise if Neil has already explained all this to you...and i do understand your frustrations. Marian.
