Hi Ed - some suggestions! Chat ABers serial chatting using AB as a chat community site gives rise to a flurry of divisive opinion. Chatterbank was tried, but 'abused' and therefore withdrawn ..... B&S and old threads are now chatterbank, in all except name....
{B&S deserves better - too many (sensitive/personal)questions have not been given respect - even with apologies afterwards for insensitive replies.}
AB is a community site and friendships are forged .... so, my suggestion is ..... give ABers a means to get in contact with other ABers without having to publicly disclose on this site their email address etc. OR facilitate / provide for chatting on the AB site
{Banter, humour etc when replying is very different and is part of 'community spirit'.}
Rules A number of angst posts during the 'reign' of the last Ed were about Rules and that some were applied / while others were not? ...... I am not advocating rules, just saying that it makes for confusion if AB sets down Rules and then do not apply them?
{Some ABers believe they get banned by other ABers using the 'report 3 times function' mischievously. My suggestion is that the final say on banning should be an editorial one before the banning i.e. not automatically generated by the computer followed by Ed review. (Put the banning requests into a file 'pending editorial review')
Netz and Redbel I never came clean about MUMPING as it was never a secret. The very first time I was banned, I used the name MUMPING but I pointed out I was THECORBYLOON under a different name. I have said I am also MUMPING loads of times and it has never been a secret.
Shows how much I read on here - I wasn't accusing you of anything bad TCL I was just surprised that I hadn't noticed. I think you are one of the most honest and likeable chappies on here. I know you've been getting a lot of stick lately. btw how is Brenda? I've been missing her.
