To the moderator, enough is enough.

Paddington, you expect us to set up individual admin accounts for every member so they can edit their own threads here? That's silly. If people want to have that much control over what they say on the web, they have no place in a forum like this. They should go here.

The solution is to ban. That's quick and easy.

Or, before it gets to that, for members to keep their stuff in the right threads, recognize that no one here owes anyone else here anything, and enjoy the forum.

The people who enjoy constant flame wars are not the majority.

There is always the "Omega Exception" where Gene makes me moderator of the wing chung forum

I'd clean this place up in no time......

I'd get rid of all the wing chun people

You have to destroy before you can create.

No, I am not suggesting that. I believe there are modules and settings so that the OP of the thread automatically gets mod rights just for his / her thread. With PHPbb, it is the case of enabling a simple script and again, it is not an admin right and only applies to the thread the person started. There is absolutely no maintenance as it is all handled automatically.

Currently the OP is able to delete the thread, which some have done when things do not go their way.
I am not sure how this would go over as the person starting the thread would be able to delete posts from those "they" did not like regardless of content or relevance.
Or making their thread a sticky or locking the thread when things do not go their way.
I have, in the past, un-deleted threads because, while the OP, was no longer happy others had put in "valuable" insight.

To be honest, everyone here already has the option of contacting a moderator and report posts. Unfortunately, very few take advantage of doing so.

I see several potential issues as there is no way everyone will be happy. I can see someone complaining because the OP did something they did not like.

Look at this thread, started by one person who seems to think they are in the right and most others are wrong.

Enough is enough, but others could argue that the OP is guilty of the same thing.........just saying

Heck, here in the WC forum it seems like some people will complain and argue if you tell them the sun provides light.

We had to destroy the wing chun forum in order to save it

I clearly expressed a want for moderation in the thread I started and where I was called a wanker and, to be quite frank, ganged up on and had my thread derailed. The response was along the lines of 'get over it' so from my perspective, expressing concern to a moderator made not one bit of difference. You can set it so the OP can just delete his or her thread and any posts within said thread that they feel need moderating and that is it.

They would not be able to add stickies etc. just the permissions that I state. If the OP acted like a fascist when such permissions were enabled, then they would soon find that no one wants to converse with them in the thread and you would have a better Darwinian state in these sub forums. But anyway, I am forming the opinion that the management do not really want a functioning sub forum where we can increase the output of constructive threads and participation levels. That is fine by me as I can, at the end of the day, put up with all the negativity but it is becoming clear that there are some who have an agenda to derail and it stems from a wider attempt to just bash wing chun more generally online.

You were looking down your nose at anyone that didn't use 7 syllable words............ ill say it again, get over yourself

No, that's not the case. Just because someone doesn't agree with you (and Keith, and Hendrick etc) doesn't mean they are bashing WC.

They're simply disagreeing with you.
So once more, get over yourself.

ps. See, i didnt even call you a wanker this time

I didn't do that GlennR, that is just your imagination fueled by your inferiority complex thinking that. My point of contention in that thread was that people had not read my posts nor read the clarifications I made and that they were contradicting themselves. As I demolished each false criticism people jumped to another one that they thought easier to beat me down with. Failing at each of these people bottomed out and moved to say things such as 'you are being snobbish, looking down your nose' etc. My comment on bashing wing chun was more a general observation and separate from my concerns with the thread I started.

Paddington is correct. Just because you weren't reading closely Glenn and didn't follow what he was saying is no reason to accuse him of "looking down his nose" at others. And at least some of the recent WC bashing took place on the "Way Forward" thread, and you took part in that yourself Glenn. It had nothing to do with having a differing opinion about our WC. But I know what will come next. So go ahead and prove your maturity level by calling us "wankers" and telling us to "get over ourselves" like usual. Oh...and don't forget the wonderful video of Mr. Chopper!

You're missing the point, i never "bashed' WC........... i bashed you and your mate.

Maybe you two should try reading my posts?

Oh, and the Chopper thing, was an attempt at a bit of humour. Sorry i upset you boys

And there you go again, are you the Sigmund Freud of the forum now?

I acknowledged that, ask for clarification, got ignored.

Bwahahah....... shall we now call you "The Demolisher!!!"..... scourge of all internet trolls!

I did clarify several times in that thread when other people asked. I saw little point repeating myself just for you, given that you could not be bothered to keep up with the posts in that thread. You are not that special GlennR and I fail to see why I should have to take special measures in your case. My one year old daughter also goes boo hoo too, when I ignore her.

If you you want to take up your issues with me privately then please feel free to PM me rather than following me from thread to thread like some starved mosquito, looking for yet more blood to consume.

EDIT: There is a film that chronicles Chopper's exploits, it is really good GlennR and full of memes that you could use.

Just replying to you moaning about being told to get over yourself and being called a wanker. I'm obviously special enough to remember my jibes at you, or do other people call you a wanker ad well?
To many to remember?

And I'll pass on the pm, I don't have any issues with, I just think you're a wanker.... Pretty simple really

Oh, and thanks for the chopper advice, but I think you'll find I can source my own material thanks....
