Competition to find Adam a new avatar

The Aviator · 18-12-2007, 05:22 AM

The impossible has happened. Adam has found an avatar worse than the old one.
He appears to need help. How about a competition to find him one more suitable?

Disappointing reaction to light hearted fun thing with the admin at Christmas. Forget it chaps.

Ok, the thread was started 6 hours ago and you're pulling it because of "lack of interest"? You're not giving people an awful lot of time are you? Leave it go for a while and see what happens. You cant expect lots of responses immediately. These things take time.

Also remember the time difference; six hours ago I was asleep and it was the middle of the night in UK!!!!!

Yeah me too!!! FAST asleep!

It is just in my nature to help something along for someone. Like I did with Christos thread of the quiz on war dogs.
It's a bad feeling when no one helps.

How about this Adam? It's called "The Moderator".

You just need to learn some patience, and remember people have real lives off forum. We've all started plenty of threads to which people have never replied.

Yes I know. Everyone has that happen to them. It is a lot more important to make members feel good than it is to ban them. Too many moderators don't understand that about human nature. They feel that their role is a policeman to parcel out punishments. It isn't. It's to see that punishments are never needed.

You could say I had a private life as well. My granchildren just acted in the nativety play at the cathedral and I was the photographer.
I enjoyed coming home to my forum though.

To OUR forum please, Graeme.
I didn't join in this thread because, Adam is not a person who goes in for "nice" avatars. He's not that kinda guy.

In actual fact he's a complete c...

We're not parcelling out punishments, at least I dont think we are!! We are trying to get you to keep it open and explain our reasons as to why we think it would be more successful. I'm not dissing you.

I would like to think that as moderators we try and encourage people to keep posting and start new threads.

BTW, how did the nativity play go??
