I have decided to keep the forum private for another while.
It will be reviewed at a later date.
Regards,

Can you explain why? Also can you explain why the poll was set up in the first place? If it was to piss off a lot of members of this forum then well done...you've succeeded.

and 8 very pissed off voters at that... ... the reason this site was set up was because of the censorhsip on the KCC site... looks like this site is going the same way.........................................
There may be only 8 voters and 274 members - on any one day there are about 30 sign on's to view the forum and read our postings....

But local, can u not see that the more you censor and lock members threads the less this forum appeals to us. Please don't lock this thread and let us express our opinions. I'm not trying cause trouble by this post,but it just so frustrating when moderators can block a thread just cos they don't agree with it!

I didn't censor or lock anything. Honest. I gave my opinion in the other thread and that still stands. Giving an opinion is not causing trouble miami.. 6 of the voters will be pissed off because 2 voted no.. I'm a little bit puzzled myself, but I think it would have helped had more people voted, it means that of the average 30 lookers a day 22 of them could not be bothered to vote, never mind the other couple of hundred..

Maybe a suggestion would be to take the thread out of "help" section and into "pick n mix" instead? Not many people go into the HELP section...I only saw the poll by accident! That's my two cents anyway!

I've just gone through the list of users in the past 24 hours and 8 have never posted, 1 has only posted once. As with everything, committees, volunteers etc all over the land, people all talk but only a few really care or do anything.

i have to say miami that i have always found both localy and joe p to be excellent moderators and do their jobs extremely well.... it wasn't localy who locked the threads.... and i agree with her comment when it comes to volunteers etc......
bottom line is the poll should never have been posted if the result wasn't going to be followed through... no matter who voted what way, how many voted, we are all members and have a voting right... like with everything as localy says some people just don't bother and leave it up to everyone else......

SNooze alert. . . . Seriously! Is it a big deal if we open the forum or not? It's not a big deal. It's a public forum no matter what way ye look at it.
We had 8 voters and tbh (no offence meant to anyone) but we have alot of very regular users who, at the end of the day, signed into the forum since the poll started and just were not arsed voting.
The forum is here for you lot. I don't get anything out of doing this job apart from a shÃte load of abuse! I consistently receive PM's moaning and groaning etc but what am I supposed to do? Please each and everyone of you individually? impossible.
I went against the poll that I started and am now keeping the forum closed. I (or campbells) will decide when to re-open it. Untill then, if you are not happy signing in then I am sorry for the inconvenience but untill such a time as we the admins feel it might be appropriate to open the forum, we will.
If anybody has an issue with that please feel free to add a PM to the rest of the pile. I shall reply in due course.
