OPEN SLATHER...keep it or not

Following the debate in "Nothing to do with woodworking" forum I ask the following;

Do you think the Forum should keep the OPEN SLATHER or not.

The only point though is if you vote to get rid of it and return to how it is then you agree that the moderators can do what they like, hack away and delete posts as they see fit with no toys being thrown out of the cot:) .

Hi all,

Well I reckon it should go. It does seem a little slow around since it came online.:(

I think the moderation in the past has been good. A little too quick to axe weild when religion/politics comes online IMO.:mad:

I also dont like the fact that members contact the moderator to complain instead of having the stomach to post directly onto the thread so that all can see what is happening. (the moderator can read the posts)

Also think that the use of reddies should be used more to control some of the posts.

IE; if you think a post is out of line then state so in the thread and also say that you are posting a reddie. This lets all see and others can decide as well.

I recently posted a reply that I thought was witty and funny however others didnt. These members had the guts to say so in the thread, I reviewed it and apologised. :)

Anyway my 2c

cheers

My thoughts on the matter are already well known. No need to elaborate here.

Yes and No

With it we can post stuff that is seen as undesireable in the outside world, like the walking stick I finished recently. :o
We can tell dirty jokes and not have them deleted.

I know its a bad job keeping YOU lot in line and I wouldnt want 's job for quids, well mabey lots of quids. :rolleyes:

We need the balance of the outside lively forum, plus the orange room for the smut.

But, sending ALL so called undesireable posts to the orange room doesnt work.
Undesireable is all down to your own perspective on life, very little shocks me. ( really, :rolleyes: )

I didnt vote as there is no " I like it both ways button "

Al :)

I'm quite happy to see open slather for those that wish to get excited in a non-public manner if they see fit.

Personally though I wish to self moderate my opinion in a public manner.

I don't think open slather is about having guts or not.

So for me I think keep open slather but I will never go there. :)

Cheers

Then why are you a regular poster in Open Slather? :confused: :confused:

Keep it, at least it`s somewhere to have a rant without being deleted

It occurred to me to say something to ensure this was sent to the orange zone, but I'm not quite that big a bulstard, cannot believe we're even discussing it, non event for me, I think it has added interest for me in the board.

At least having THAT forum available to us, we can say what we think with out fear of offending the sensiblities of those of us who have a "thinner than normal" skin when it comes to some topics.

so there:p

Even knows I'm no prude the orange room is not a place I care to visit as I feel it not appropriate for this board but having said that I voted to keep it.
I can get that type of stuff elsewhere if I need to but feel we need an area for some to vent without upsetting the status quo (mmmmmmm good band that :D )
Pete

I voted to shut it down. I liked the forum the way it was and I trust and the others to moderate in a fair and just manner.
As most of you will know I don't pull punches and will have a go at one of my online mates in the public view, and I'm not too pig headed to back down and appologise also. I won't go behind anyones back.
For the juniors sake I agree that we should keep it clean, but to those of the skin thickness deprived variety I say "Cant stand the heat then keep away forom the fire you delicate flowers you" https://www.ubeaut.biz/finger2.gif

Is this why you are going to the Sexpo tomorrow?

There is also another reason to keep it.
It should reduce the workload for the moderators.
