Posting Reveals

And on top of that, we've got people voting who haven't even made any contribution to the forum in the weeks that it's been online.

So some of the people havent posted on the forum, someone who just reads the forum has as much of a right to how it goes. This is a Boards.ie Forum for Boards.ie users when we start saying some people have more rights than others it starts becoming a load of crap. How about we give people more of a say on it based on join date or post count?

We were asked to put it to the public vote and we did - someone people were bound not to get their way.

Voodoo child, you know and can read who started the threads you have issues with - saying things are stupid and poorly thought out and pretending you are taking to no one in particular wont fly with me.

There was a reason the original request was for a private forum. Somewhere along the line that changed and things will be messy until we sort it out.

Well I was the one who brought it up and it was the first time a forum of this type had ever been requested. I did initially suggest it be private but the majority of people who posted said it should be public. Now that its been made we have people who may never have posted on the request thread asking for it to be one way and the people who asked for it and it was made for asking for it to be another.

You cant please all of the people all of the time.

Yes, as long as Spoiler Tags are used.

Fine, i'll apologise for 'stupid' but not for poorly thought out. It is poorly thought out, that's not a personal attack but an observation and an opinion. The reasoning behind it was explained in the post, if you have an issue with the reasoning feel free to debate it. Spoilers tags and exposure are two different issues.

Thats fine enough. This is all being done in a rush, as soon as it became an issue we started looking at it. As with any new forum there are teething problems.

As it happens I might have a solution which keeps everyone happy. I'll discuss it with r3nu4l and post about it when we get the results of the poll. Please lets just see how this goes.

Agreed, 6th and I are in discussion. The poll itself is not the deciding factor per se, it's just a poll to see how people feel. There are other options but the poll is just there to 'get the lie of the land'!

We'll chat again tomorrow In the meantime there will be no more reveals until the issue is sorted

Yes, as long as Spoiler Tags are used.

*reveals himself*

muhahahaha!

Sherifu

Yes, as long as Spoiler Tags are used.

So now there's a sub-forum, what happens with the poll?

r3nu4l

It closes at Midday and we'll have a look and decide what to do. The feedback thread no doubt attracted people who just voted for the hell of it and never intend to contribute to the forum, however, some voters do have a genuine interest so we need to look carefully and come to a decision.

Sherifu

Yes, as long as Spoiler Tags are used.

Great. Looking forward to getting back to discussing magic soon.

In fairness these are possible the same people who showed support when the forum was suggested. Alot of the names in that thread havent posted here yet and alot of the people posting here didnt post in the suggestion thread.

Nothing stopping people from discussing magic as it is.

So you're here for the reveals? Is this the kind of person the magicians are talking about when they say they dont want tricks posted publically?

I would think so.

6th

Poll closed.

Popinjay

Yes, as long as Spoiler Tags are used.

*Awaits resulting outcome with baited breath.*

Ah, sure I'll still post anyway. They haven't been spoilered (Hey mom, I made a noun!) yet and the forum's doing pretty well I think. So who's going to perform at the next beers then? Bags not it!

horgan_p

why not do what magic bunny do ?

a sub forum where you have to apply for access.
mods dish out the access depending on how much the poster contributes to the forum.

Thats what we have done

humanji

So who do we f*ck to get access then? I already have a hectic schedule trying to sleep my way to being an admin (at least that's how DeVore said I could do it. But it has been 3 years now...).

Mr Magnolia

No, they should never be posted publically

I'm subbed to the M/I forum since it started. I'll be interested to see what can be discussed in the main forum without them. Time will tell though, continued good luck with the forum
