Don't Mention The Golf Course

Postby Sheik Yir Erse » Fri Jul 20, 2007 9:11 pm

Anyone seen a Golf Course thread? I'm sure there was one around here earlier :shock:

Anyway just a word of warning - don't mention the new Golf Course

In the words of Basil Fawlty - I might have mentioned it earlier, but I think I got away with it :lol:

wot happened? did it go the way of the thread about the courier wbsite and it's polls?

seems the thread about how to improve the forum forgot to mention that certain local issues might be too local and therefor need to be moved to avoid anyone discussing the topic and horror of horrors, getting a reaction form the subject of the thread

dig that hole deeper mods, i can still see your necks!!!!

Why would the mods need to dig a hole for themselves at all when there are plenty of people on here willing to do it for them? :wink: :lol:

Strange that one of the big topics this week was how to improve the forum, then an excellent discussion ensues regarding the new course, and it disappears.....

Davie from what I recall, other than some people casting doubt on the completion of the there was nothing derogatory about the thread. Worse has been said about the call center, including that it had "gone", but that wasn't pulled.

If the developement company has nothing to hide (and I'm guessing this action was taken after a complaint from someone with a vested interest), why complain about people voicing genuine concerns? And why are those concerns unfit for viewing?

All very curious

I'll be honest here and say I moved it until the Admin have had a chance to look at it. This was following a few complaints about the potential damage the thread could do.

While you may think this is unfair, I don't think it is fair that I personally get the flak for what goes on here. This is around the fifth time in the last nine days I personally have had to take the flak. I have to once again say that this is NOT my forum!!!!

Looking at this thread from an impartial perspective I think most of the stuff said on here is no different than what could be said on the street or in the pub. However, there are people who NEED projects like this to suceed - some of the postings could be damaging in terms of investment etc. The difference is this is on a totally public domain and anyone can read the posting.

Its easy to post from a PC but when you personally have to take the flak then its a fecking scunner!

The thread made very interesting reading, can't understand why anyone would complain about it... :shock:

Look, I'm not on here to answer every frigging action that I take. I decided to move it until others had a chance to look at it. That is all.

Anyway, I've moved it back.
