The others and I are free to have a different opinion than yours.
I'm not a moderator, but I guess - and I suppose I'm not the one - that your intervention in that topic is perhaps "polite", but rather indecent and even incongruous.
Who is your next victim ?
I will be glad to read your technical advices always, when they will not be studded with acidic insidious remarks against other users.
moderation please!

Panos,
But if people think I would be suitable for that job, I will accept it and do it to the best of my abilities.
Anyways, I started a poll at http://www.ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?t=4816 .

On one hand, I read every thread of these forums, except the French ones. On the other hand, I never felt I had the moral authority / right to tell anyone what is right or wrong.What about you Hacker? You have the experience, knowledge and ethos; do you also have the time and willingness?

I have read all posts and replied to them regularly at least twice a week during the last few months, usually on Monday/Tuesday and Thursday/Friday. I have also visited the forum between these 'reply days' without logging in, so the threads remained as 'new' for replying. However, you are right that I haven't intervened too much, because I believe in free speech.pdavit wrote:I still haven't seen a feasible suggestion. You practically answer to this forum usually only on Mondays (excluding pre and post beta version release dates).

"Vollquotetrottel" is indeed above the limit, sorry, I must have missed it. I must have read it as "Vollquottel", which is a typical (but also not very friendly) word for people on usenet who quote a huge posting and then write a single sentence as a reply below it (or even above, called TOFU in German).
Yes, the "F" word was the trigger which made "the barrel overflow" for me as we say in German.And it seems to me as if the F word is the trigger in this case.

I'm sorry but this a provocation enough. Who is Clo, that he think, he can dictate the issue of this thread? Because he is a normal user like me, his attempt of dictation is ridiculous, absurd, funny. His behaviour shows immoderate overestimation of his own position. That's all what I said.
2Vansumsen
Do you have any reasons, that you think you have to tell me this? This a problem of Clo: Clos intention of Clos "modest opinion" was to suppress a technical discussion, which Clo is bored and Clo isn't interested in. He wanted to dictate me, that I don't express my proposal. [irony]Yes, this behaviour is really modest.[/irony] Or what?

Pity. Maybe an official warning at the right time would have prevented the provocation of norfie - and the retire of icfu.ghisler(Author) wrote:

I'm not quoting your argument here plus I will pass on developing a reply because you have selectively decided to exclude the polite bit of Clo's phrase. I can only interpret this in the worst way, sorry!

I'm happy to know that you are here!
I'm just fighting not to exclude norfie from this forum or to bring icfu back but for a better future.

I've followed the thread and i do not wish to make any comment on what happened or the people involved.
I have a suggestion though which might make the moderators' and/or admin's life a little easier: you could switch to Invision PowerBoard. Its not open source like phpBB but its free to use (I admin 3 forums on IPB, all 3 were former phpBB). It has a lot more admin and moderating features including a warning system, etc. IPB v2.0 just came out and for both 1.3.x and v2.0 there are conversion scripts from phpBB to IPB.
I don't mean to start another quarrel nor am I an IPB addict but it did offer me easier ways and more features for admining and moderating my boards.
Just my 2 cents
