Why have numerous relevant threads been moved to discussion time?

So there were tons of complaints about off topic threads on the board? No, didn't think so. Pathetic.

Some posters have been less respectful than yourself.

You have every right to run your forum in the way that you do. Equally, Martin is entitled to run his forum his way.

We learnt the hard way, the previous admin team had been rather dictactorial and the members were leaving in droves, complaint emails were at an all time high and we were generally seen as being little hitlers.

So I changed it once I took over the site, we now have very few complaint emails, our membership grows year on year and we are seen as being very open to suggestions to improve the feel of the site.

But was it Martin's decision to move those threads? I think it was divadee on her own initiative. I don't think Martin is bound by that.

But Martin obviously has VERY VERY VERY little to do with the day to day running of this site unlike our friend Sue.

This has been a SYSTEMIC failure and therefore the response must be above and beyond the ordinary report abuse function.

ADMINs need to be informed and made aware as to the depth of feeling here.



PS - you have been one of the most disrespectful posters in this thread by the way you insulted the general mass of posters!

so a thread about a car park full of new cars unsold is about house prices is it?

A thread about the honda team being up for sale is about house prices is it?

A thread about jeremy clarkson talking about car prices is about house prices is it?

A thread about recession in Germany is about house prices is it?

NO they are not, yes they are about the wider economy but they are not about HOUSE PRICES. Until the mse team change the guidelines and/or the name of this board to house prices and recession and the worlds wider economy I have to follow the guidelines.

Divadee - you've taken a sensible approach. Don't let the HPC mob try to bully you into doing what they want.

Unfortunately, with this action you'll be ruining a few peoples social lives...

If they're not happy with what you've done, tell them to set up their own forum and moderate it themselves.

Hi, Mr & Mrs Moderators

I am one of the offenders who has had their post removed to the Elephants Graveyard.

Where my fellow posters and my posts haven't been 100% about House Prices they do reflect 100% of the issues affecting House Prices. They allow general pasionate discussion on the state of the housing market and give members of the public a valuable insight into where the market is going.:embarasse

I thought this forum was designed to save people money . What better than a sub forum that discusses the issues on the most likely most expensive purchase in someones life. Remember this is one of your most popular and alive sections of the site with a large loyal fan base.

All we want is our posts back and to debate the issues around house prices so we know when to buy.:(

... and I just added her to my ignore list. But not until I read some of her previous posts to confirm that I wouldn't be missing out on something.

Lightbulb moment.

Maybe there should only be ONE forum entitled 'Everything'. Is there anything that cannot be related to House Prices?

How about 'I got a speeding ticket' - and had to pay the fine from my house deposit saving fund.

What a pathetic post! :mad:

What you have now done is suggest that the only people upset here are HPC people. THIS IS NOT TRUE!!!

So you have set the battle lines and you have CREATED a schism and a feud where non existed. You have simply used this mess to have a go at the ideology you dislike. How childish. :mad:
