Who Is Sick Of All The Bitching

[Abo Bob]

It seems the more chat there is the more fighting there is.

I'm not sure if you all realise this or not but behind the scenes at SAU there are discussions about getting rid of every single whore thread. If the online social side of things is not pleasant then it may just disappear altogether.

Please think before you post.

I clearly warned all of those who frequent the whore threads that if there was any repeat of the bitching, that the whore threads would go, permanently.

I was not kidding, and it seems too many people simply don't listen.

Unfortunately, actions speak louder than words so the whore threads of NSW will now be closed indefinately.

Those of you whose actions have brought this on know who you are, so perhaps you can explain to the other more mature members why the chat threads are no longer.

I'd like to know why people from places like the central coast, newcastle, south coast, hornsby etc are being punished for sh!t that goes on in other threads??? Nothing to do with us.....

Hardly fair....

Yeap thats true! I apologise for my childishness! Some things just bring out the worst and stupid in me!! I have already decided that my last comments will be just that.. the last! I am here to enjoy my car and meet new enthusiasts and to generally have a good time! I don't want all the crap going around to affect any of this.

that is all

[Sl!m]

I think that the argument that came around thismorning was resolved by the people that started it and everyone shouldnt be punished for it. The fact that it was resolved shows alot more matturity than what has been around as of late.

just my 2 cents.

this all very well to close them down, but i know from experience its mainly happening in the whoretown thread not all the whore thread like central coast and such. but i think this will settle it down.

The bottom line is the whore threads have caused problems from the start, are a waste of space, and are nothing but pages of worthless crap.

I agree with Sam and others, it is unfair, especially on those who haven't acted like complete tools, but everyone was warned and those involved were told that if they didn't cut it out once and for all, the threads would go, thereby affecting many others.

Personally, I think that while its all good and well to want to talk to your friends all day, there are more appropriate chat mediums around to facilitate this, a forum isn't one of them.

Lifes not fair Tinks =(

Hopefully this will be a temporary thing and soon we can get our forums back, but if its permanent its kind of removing the reason I joined SAU, to chat with and organise meets with others from Newcastle (and the surrounding areas).

i to agree with this to, and i think that having this privilage removed will wake everybody up, and that those who have lead to this will now hopefully have more respect for the forum and its users

I agree, there are far more appropriate methods of talking to friends all day long, but in my experience (which is mainly the Newcastle thread) the members using it were more using it as a bulletin board rather than pages and pages of random chatter.

Will there be any system implemented to replace these threads? Perhaps a "one post per time limit" sort of deal (i know it would be a pain in the butt to implement, but it would be nice to get the community feel back).

And I do understand why they were banned and can accept and support the decision to stop them for the reasons the admins have mentioned above, but as Tinks said...what about the rest of us who werent abusing the service or others?

there is already a event section that if people are organising events, even only for certain nsw regions, they should be using that

[DRD-00F]

i go out to get a haircut and all shit breaks loose?

come on guys... i wasn't even gone that long

on a more mature note: im not so sure losing the area threads is a great idea... i met pretty much everyone through those threads, heard about pretty much every event i went to, and was almost literally my doorway to SAU...

i introduced myself and was welcome with open arms... it made me stay, and now i am a paying member, have helped at several events and am always putting my name down to help on more events...

what about other new people? where do they go? do we have a new member make a thread about themselves every time?

anyway, moderating a forum is hard enough (I should know)... moderating this one would be impossible... doing a great job guys, making the tough calls

I second that.. Being on the SAU forums as a big time reader, not much of a poster, starting hanging around the central cost thread and got welcomed by some really friendly people and also starting chatting with members

[hanyou]

ahhhhhhhh i seee now it was all in the whore threads, no wonder i never saw no fighting

Maybe I didnt communicate what I meant very well, but the above two posters have done so.

Removing the local threads removes the "community" feel of the boards.

Will there be any thought into providing a similar feature on SAU itself, or should we just kiss it goodbye?

As a side note: If you're from Newcastle - hit me with a PM so i can add you to friends

[mass_iv]

That is true, and I don't disagree. I just wanted to add though that most chat/IM programs are blocked at workplaces - even SAU is blocked at my school (along with most URLs with the word /forum/ in it). Therefore hence the ease of accessing a webpage (forum) and communicating on all that.

Im just gonna leave it at that. Just wanted to add my 2c

+1

I don't visit the whore threads, and didn't know anyone is fighting.
