'Strike' Response

[Dave]

I've said it before in threads and i'll repeat it here for you all to read:
As a site admin/mod i've just been hearing things about strikes and arguments.. exactly what is this about and who is causing it - why?

It seems signatures are causing most problems. I don't see why if we have an option to turn them on/off why you can't just all keep them as they are.

And as mods we do respect all our members opinions.

To clear up this mess, i'll personally respond to all members worries, questions and general comments about the site/forums or anything - please email me dsmith88@ntlworld.com with Touch DS member in the subject and i'll get back to you within 24 hours.

Hope this helps - please guys, keep the site going smoothly

Regards,
Dave

well im mad about the mods trying to 'turn off' our sigs... i say the majority of the MMBER Win so lets have a formal vote... is that alright mods?

[Dave]

I have nothing agaisnt signatures - I think are they are a massive part of the community.

The only reason I brought up restricting their size was because of complaints I had recieved from other members who found it annoying and obtrusive to have such big sigs and such slow loading pages (in some cases).

If the majority of 'active' forum users want the sigs to stay then I guess it would be ignorant to ignore that and take them off but then again, you must understand from my (and other mods position) - when we recieve complaints we try to find a compromise to solve them and make the forums better for everyone.

I thought turning sigs on/off as an option would be that solution. Again, keep your feedback coming and i'll talk with the other mods and Allen until so we can get the site better for all users!

Thanks!

Note - the 'turning off' of sigs was going to be via a optional link to each member. WE never talked about permenantely removing sigs. Just to clear that up![/b]

By turning off sigs "option", this wouldn't affect the current members. The new members could just turn the option off/on.

LOL! Yeah, I have that feeling too.

Yes, exactly.

Which is why I'm confused about why everone is upset. They are being too self-centred and selfish, I guess. Or ignorant for a better term.

[Dave]

Me too. I only just came back from a week away.. and this happened.

Technically the site is out of my control.. shame really, I loved running the site and regret handing over control now. Allen should be sorting out this - but hes never here and never working on the site.

So you're saying Allen is to blame? >_>

[Dave]

Not at all.. but hes never around and not really doing much to the site :( I want it back.
