Some absolutely ridiculous mod decisions being made in here over the last while.

did you get notification as to why it was deleted, or was it just a sneaky jab of the delete button ?

Did it definitely post ok, yeah? If so, it makes no sense to me that this would be deleted.

`The mod probably deleted it cause it wasnt posted in the events part (or was it?) and they have rules about promoting and advertising?

Pm the mod and I'm sure it will be explained, poor form regardless really.

Yup was there alright, had a read of it.

Shame on whoever deleted it.

Think it might be time for someone to think about stepping down as Waterford Mod. Maybe focus on other things in their life. Popping in every now and then in a locking and deleting spree is helping nobody.

Awfully sorry, but I didnt delete it. It was removed for advertising and I'm sure the mod who removed it will be in touch with Neill. I assume he thought it was obvious.

The other threads were closed for a valid reason, so do have some level of cop on. We do have a structure and set of way of doing this on boards, and just because a select few want a reason to complain doesn't mean it will change. I'm stunned that you of all people can't see or understand.

I could understand why it would be moved to the events thread, can't understand why it would be deleted.

I'm gonna hold my hands up on this one:

I was on the mobile site late last night and I just saw the title to the thread(which didn't mention suicide awareness) and read the first few lines and put I'd down to advertising and deleted the post till I had a proper look at it this morning and more then likely move it to the events thread I didn't even take notice that it was you who put it up Neill. We get quite a bit of advertising that we delete that nobody sees that we delete straight away.

Had I read the post properly I would not have dreamed of deleting it I'd hope most of you here would know me well enough as a MOD at this stage to know that. I genuinely apologise for the mistake and I'll undelete it now.

I have sadly been effected by suicide on more then one occasion so that makes me feel allot worse about it.

Sully

All is well that ends well. See what a little patience and understanding can bring?

Its not very clear in the thread anyway that its for suicide and to be fair to ziedth, it looks like a lot of spam posts that appear. Easy mistake to happen.

Had a weird experience here myself over the last couple of days. Situation was cleared up and got a kind apology from a higher up mod. Hopefully things will get back to normal now.

That's fair enough.

Out of curiosity, how much of each ticket is being donated to the charity? It wasn't specified whether all the profits were or it's a profit for the organisers?

20 x Podiums ..

If someone has a way of cutting this cost we need 20 pods with perspex front like a podium to be built , Im an electrician myself so i will wire them all . But if anyone has a good carpentry mind and brain and some ideas This is where we need to cuut our costs

My idea is to build from medite sheets spray them black or white . Put a emergency stop button as a light switch on top of each and perspex front with the light inside the podium ..

Should not be a problem to build but gettin this at the right cost is the problem because i want to raise as much as possible .

If anyone has an idea im on 0872828744
