Topic: CR0.co.uk. We Are Moving....

[Yousef]

Hi All,

I wish everyone on the site a very Merry Xmas and hope 2012 has brought you all closer to cooking a great Indian Takeaway at home.

With 2013 looming I have taken the decision to move the site to a new server and upgrade the forum including some re branding.
Therefore I will be migrating the site over Xmas to the new server and will effectively put the forum into maintenance mode to do this.  It will take 24 hours so when you log back in you will be directed to the new server.

Please note that I have done some testing and you may need to update your profile avatar following the move....so back up your avatar image today to your pc.

I hope to be able to develop the site more in 2013 to try and bring more product offers to our members and some cool competitions.  I have been In talks with a major Indian Beer Company and hope to be able to offer some great prizes linked to Indian cooking in quarter 1 next year.

I would welcome any ideas you guys have for 2013 to make the forum more fun on our quest to cook the perfect curry.

Thanks for all your support this year and let's hoe 2013 bring some spicy dishes to us all

Happy Xmas and best Regards
Stew (site owner and curry addict) ;D

More than one active moderator! 
Oh, and the Tapatalk smartphone app.

Good luck with the move, Stew, many thanks for your initiative and hard work, and a Very Merry Currymas to you.

My suggestion is one that is likely to be echoed by several members: a team of 2-3 fully active moderators. I think that is needed more than anything else. I know several have volunteered in the past, so finding willing members should be quite easy.

Merry Xmas!

Merry Christmas Stew,  and all the best for 2013, And yes another mod or two wouldn't go amiss

Yes agree with others - people who are willing and able to carry out a moderator role - along with clear operational guidance to ensure that it is carried out safely and that moderators don't become objects of derision or a focus for unhappy forum members.

With these safeguards in place I might be prepared to volunteer as long as there are others joining me.

What exactly would 1-2 additional, active moderators be doing? Kicking their heels quite likely, unless you yearn for the days when moderation here was quite heavy-handed and posts were edited and deleted almost as fast as anyone could write. Do yo really want to go back to that?

[Stephen Lindsay]

George I don't think it needs to come to that - with the right infrastructure and people I think moderation could usefully help to keep everything in it's place - as you can admin has already moved a number of threads to their correct sections and it would be good if this could be kept going in real time - if admin has the time to do it then fair play to him. If not then we need a group of moderators to ensure that the responsibility and accountability is shared and the moderation isn't the province of one person, which I think was part of the problem previously.
