Am I the only one getting pissed off with DA? Nothing to do with TCS, just his forums behaviour. I seem to have my final read fo the forums after him and tend to find that he has felt sufficiently verbose to post a reply to *every* single bloody thread on the entire forums. :angry: Now if I recall we already had to warn him about his continuous stupid bleeding replies.
Now please tell me if I'm wrong, but permission to fire one across the bows fellow Admins.......
TL.
I had actually the same thought last night when I did my "before bedtime reading". You are the master ... show him the way. :)
Hmmm, perhaps a suitable warning might be the removal of his Reply button for 24 hours?

and the quote button ...
Right, I have restricted his posting for 24 hours and will now send him a PM.

You may also like to point out the 'preview' button where he can read what he's written back to himself to see if it resembles any form of coherent English.
PM sent to DA.

QuoteYou will recall that earlier this year we spoke about your developing tendency to post a reply on the forums to anything that moved, often with short and inconsequential answers. Overnight three Admins have made reports about your posting again. A quick search on your posting history demonstrates a worrying trend.
The forums are the beating heart of the community and whilst we welcome active participation in the forums, we also have to guard against too many inconsequential posts clogging up the arteries. For example, a quick check of the stats for last night showed that you had posted a reply to just about every thread on the forums between the hours of 00:00 and 02:00 hours.
The forums currently average about 100 posts per day.
In the last 24 hours you posted 25 replies. :blink:
Many of these replies were unnecessary. If every user did this then we would all have to read about 6500 posts every day. That level of posting is equivalent to major coronary level - the forums would die.
As a temporary reminder, we have withdrawn your ability to post any replies for 24 hours. So we should only have about 75 posts to read today ;)
Please, think carefully before you reply. The occassional funny retort or inconsequential comment is expected from everyone, but it should not be habitual. Post quality, not quantity. When you do post, make use of the preview button - it helps make sure that what you have written actually resembles coherent English.
You have 24 hours to mull it over before your posting rights are returned.
TL.
On behalf of the Admins.
His reply, received at 19:20 today.

Fair enough maybe i do post some that dont really need to. :( Ill take what you have told me and ill become controlled sorry tl ill watch myself to make sure what i post in the future is nessasary, involes the topic and using less smilies.
He's a good lad really.
I like DA but we have to remember he is just young and needs the odd slap every now and again (I think he likes it really).
But i think we need to do the same and yes us admins..... a topic went a bit aray ending up on Atari's and for the life of me i cant remember how the topic started.
Yes we as Admins should be a wee bit better behaved than the average, but then you are not posting Atari-like threads by the gross every evening, are you?

He's a good lad but badly in need of the attentions of a large, overbearing older woman, or alternatively a gimp to sort him out lol. Sorry for deviating from the conversation, or was I. :D In fact we could set one on Tox as well, that should sort two birds out with one, gimp. Smite can you place the order from your usual supplier for the next lan.
