tbf, sitting duck is pretty fabulous.
We do like that -for the most part- you lot tend to not argue, bicker or hold grudges. We enjoy that it's a hands-off attitude most of the time.
We are only a very small Mod. team for the number of members, but I like to think we are high quality. Dev does computer nonsense professionally, less active mods (but still whitelisted) do law nonsense professionally, I do airsoft nonsense professionally, also, Monty is here (Love you Monty). In short, we know our shit.
None of us draw an income from this place, we do it out of the goodness of our own hearts.
As such, the less work we have to put in the better, really. But that's not to say we don't put effort in.
We have discussed the issue of post counts for sales thread users previously at length, but decided that the current way is best. After all, as Samurai said, it only encourages spamming and general quality of posts to decrease. We'd rather have quality posts everywhere that we can and have sales open to whoever chooses to use them.
If a user signs up and only uses the sales, then they're losing out on an excellent community, whilst our excellent community benefits from another potential new shiny toy for one of you.
Hopefully, you've all noticed a bit of an effort to keep on top the last few days, but we are a small team.
Rather than posting that a user should have pictures, please REPORT the thread, we can then deal with it much quicker and in an appropriate manner, besides not bumping a rule violator to the top of the page. Reporting allows us to keep an eye on the thread for pictures if required or kill it if not (and I have killed a few threads recently, but you won't tend to see the killed threads as much as the ones we give the benefit of the doubt to)
Most of you are aware of the Dev situation and we do ask that you bear with us whilst we try and sort a bunch of back-end stuff out, but he is currently the only Admin and he's a busy guy.
TL;DR:
We know the problems
Report more infringements rather than 'solve them' yourselves
Keep up quality posting
Forums are only as good as it's members, and I think we have a pretty cushy setup here.
Cheers
Dave
