I nominate Sir Hamsters mother or Sir Furry's other furry thing.

Well I support the authorities, they are doing a splendid job, and have my support 110%, I'm sure they have never done anything wrong or underhand at any time at all, and they are all splendid chaps doing a sterling job under less than ideal conditions.

Ok, so we're getting back on topic here... Rolling Eyes

Perhaps this post can be taken as a good example on how things generally turn out.
Someone makes a post intended to bring on some change on the forum.
There are a few posts from some other people who feels the same way, and then it generally starts getting off topic and silly, and then the thread is forgotten.
The result is no change.

What's wrong here?
Reading the original post I realize that the problem is probably that I just pointed out the problem.
You probably need to provide a suggestion for a solution too, otherwise there will never be a result.
By providing a solution you force others to take action, even if only to explain why they are against the solution, right?

Here goes then:
I suggest that JerWa is allowed some administration rights. If not made a full admin, at least he should be given the mandate to add smileys, add color themes, and whatever else is needed for the visual interface of the forum.

Jonnyv's suggestion that one person is made a contact person for the admins seems a bit awkward. Wouldn't it be better if one admin was selected the contact person for the members instead? That way the contact person could implement changes immediately instead of just telling an admin to do it. I may be Swedish, but bureaucracy has never been a favourite of mine.

Clarity in what we want, eh?

As I recall, the #ni-2

and

emoticons were added without any special discussion or vote, so I still say there is a measure of personal admin interest in there.

Anyway, if a member representative is what we need, then a representative we shall have!

I will set up a vote for this, but I need candidates. JerWA? Sir Hamster? Furry? Me? Those interested enough to still be reading this post can just add candidates here, and I'll set up the vote in about a week or so.

And this does not solve the issue of the new forum category Razz

I can understand the admin's reluctance to give anyone else rights to do anything on the forum, before you now it everyone will have admin rights and the forum will get broken.

However I don't understand what appears to be indifference (percieved on my part, please correct me if I am wrong - it is early here (5:45 AM)) on the part of the admins to some suggestions that were obviously not silly (as this "loonie/loony/loonie" forum tends to get), and that a poll should be set up to see what people might want. Sorry, but it does seem like a "go away, you're bothering me" move.

If the admins are serious about having a point person for forum recommendations, they should appoint one and let that person start taking suggestions and sort them out. Then when the serious suggestions are brought to the admins, action should be taken on their part.

If he is up to the task I will recommend JerWa to the position of Point Person.

I will also set up a poll now, to see what people think about changes.

Uncracked head on for a minute:-

I would support the bunny for a contact point between the users and the admins, although personally speaking any time I've contacted anybody about something serious on the forum I've always got a response in fairly quick time.

Done: on with the dance

There's nothing like a pressed man for the job.

This looks like this conversation is taking a turn to the serious (and I am not the one responsible for that Rolling Eyes

).

Now here is the story about evil penguins taking over the world, radioactive aardvarks trying to find a job. The delights of fermented herring, weird Portugese dishes that make people sick (like the national dish of Portugal). Also everyone knows the only correct way to spell LOONEY is LOONIEYTYDSN (rest of the letters are silent).

Ahh! the lesser wornott tribe tradional spelling. although just to the North of them is the kan-na-doo-iit tribe who subtitute the second "y" for a "z" and can only use the word to describe a woman in her thirties with a lemon stuck up her left nostril.
