3377 Peace... and quiet

Ahhh how nice & quiet this forum has become!!! I know that some people are on hols, but overall the tone has changed to a more friendly, positive note.

Makes moderating a very pleasant job indeed... :D

Long may the peace last!

Indeed - it has become much like it was at the very beginning - nice and civil with people offering good advice and gentle humour instead of fighting with each other...

shhh..... someone might overhear you and wake up ;-)

it is much better - and sign up rates have jumped at the same time.

All the best,

Ronald

How DID that song go again... "Those were the days my friends, we thought they'd never end, di da di didadidadida......"

Hehehe... how true!!

Sdoj has just pointed out a particular argument on CdC to me asking to keep the peace... hmmm... not sure which side he's supposed to be on! Not sure if he knows the answer to that either...

YES, me too, he's also warning me not to be partisan.......:rolleyes: as if...

... and now there are Iraqi insurgents all around us!!! :eek:

I just hope this stuff doesn't get completely out of control... definitely Two Tribes out there! :(

Until and unless some definite firm action is taken by us under Ronalds direction it WILL get worse with the same bunch of idiots supporting it.
My view, for what it's worth....
Write to Anastasia, Thomas Prozione, Sally Zia inform them that there are suspicions that they are posting for, or on behalf of Aliena, place them on pre moderation, write back to Aliena from the team and advise that she was banned as a result of continuous breaches of the rules, so, unfortunately she should not return to the forum, followed by a private contact from Ronald advising that if she was to return quietly with no special treatment ever in a month under a new login and post in a sensible manner, all would be well, but, she will not be able to post in a non confrontational way her nature is to argue and belittle people, she does have issues, the forum is not the place to either treat them or air them. This time will pass, crikey it's been less than a week, and we all expected trouble....

wise advise george - seems like a good course of action.

George is a sensible man... :)

Though if they were put under pre-moderation all hell would break loose, I think, and they might just return under new names (apart from us being mega-busy with deleting or approving loads of posts)... better the devil you know... ;)

Agree with the rest, though...

OK, so, Witless and anaesthetised alien are still posting and posting rubbish, what's the next move ??? They have been contacted and asked to cease, do we now, if there's proof that they are doing this (and, I beleive there is) cancel the new accounts, then, as WT created aunt sally to avoid pre moderation, suspend him for a period, or keep him on pre moderation with a warning that he will be facing a ban if he tries it again, Point out to Aliena that........ I don't know, my gut feeling is to say, she is banned, and, will remain so ??,
the whole view on the forum, excluding the two new accounts seems to be boredom with the aliena situation, SO, once a decision is made, place a notice on the board telling everyone what has been done, that way they can see what a pair of losers those two are, and, just maybe we can retain some dignity, and, others will know we mean business.

The more I think about this "keep them around sothat we can watch them wreak havoc in the forums, but we'll know where they are" the more understanding I have of Italian politics...;)
