....The "mkv gti-24bhp" thread is a perfect example of the lack of moderation which sometimes happens on this site.

There's a happy balance but if it gets too much I unsubscribe the thread and don't bother to read - In doing so, further possibly useful contribution is lost.

I have to disagree with you there Red, Hurdy deletes " inappropriate reply s" but doesn't make a song and dance about it iv'e spotted a couple lately, this imho works well instead of locking threads.
there is a huge variety of people on here ranging from people who want to know how a fuel pump work's to people wanting to turn there front end into Kit off Knight rider.Even if i started a thread surely it is not up to me how people answer it.
I am pretty sure over controlling thread's will turn people off more than thread's going off topic.  :sad:





Oi TC!! That better not been aimed at me!!  :grin:

Okay guys and Gals, here's my take on being a moderator.

1. Say what you like, but don't blame me if it goes pear shaped and I have to clear it up.
2. Banter is part of what makes this section (and forums in general) more of a community and as long as the threads don't go off topic for too long, then I'll leave them open.
3. Personal digs - these can be misconstrued by newer members and so generally I will tend to delete, but longer term members having a bit of a dig at each other comes under number 2 and will remain active unless it drops into number 1.
4. Moderators don't have to remain neutral in any given thread - we are members too and entitled to our own opinions.
5. Inappropriate threads will be deleted (or moved if they fit another section)
6. New threads which could go into another section (like chat) can sometimes remain in the MKV section. The moderator can use his own discretion in these cases.
7. Moderating should remain as much in the background as possible and only noticeable to those directly affected where possible
8. Don't FCUK with the moderator - they ultimately win in the long term :wink:

Hope that clears it up from my end :smiley:
