Thanks for your comment.The slow loading of the page is because of the sheer volume of database requests that have to be executed.There are 2 ways that this page could be speeded up. Either by altering it so that it doesn't load up all at once, as you suggest. Or, the page could be cached, held in the memory of the server, then the page would load without referring to the database each time. Either will require me to do some experimentation. This job is probably number one on the 'to do' list.

[PJShannon]

The correct procedure for making a complaint has been outlined many times. Twice previously in this thread. If anyone wants to query a moderation decision they are free to do so, but complaints will not be looked into until a formal complaint is received.

I think this proves my point.

In fact all this proves is that I am not plugged into the internet or this forum 24/7.However as my attention was flagged. To review some recent postings, in post #18:

I have obviously no sympathy from you. Your comment is laden with prejudice. Have you thought why? When you know nothing about the case! Why are you discussing with me when your mind is already made up? Are you trying to 'wind me up'?

Do any of these comments break any of the rules? Rule 6 : "Personal abuse, flaming and trolling will not be tolerated." however in this case I don't think the rule has been broken, borderline at best, though post 18 would seem to be the worst offender.To continue the football analogy, I remind posters to "play the ball, not the person"

[PJShannon]

Comrade, I believe the threads where locked in error. They are now reopen.

[PJShannon]

Comrade,These rules were decided at the EC meeting of November 2011.All moderation is done within the context of the rules and all moderation decisions are open to appeal.

[PJShannon]

'Admin' is 'DJP' is Darren Poynton'Moderator1' is Dave Chesham who for the most part has been assisting in deleting automated spam posts but also has moderation rights.Also the internet department has a total of 5 members, 3 of which do not get involved in moderating directly but have been involved resolving the recent moderation issues. 'Moderating the moderators' so to speak.

[PJShannon]

If you have any further comments regarding layout etc please make to the internet department via email and not through the comments button.

[PJShannon]

That would be a pretty big page!Though I admit it needs some tidying up.

[PJShannon]

That does appear to be an option. And doesn't add any extra drain on resources. Good thinking.

MODERATION NOTICEFollowing a formal complaint to the moderator, user 'Ed' has been suspended for 7 days. Personal abuse or insinuation will not be tolerated.The users account will be re-activated on the 21st October
