Topic: Is the cr0 forum dying?

[ziggycat]

Hello ex-bir chaps..  Although I don't post much on here I do use this forum more than the other. I'd not been on there for a couple of weeks, I logged on yesterday to find you lot have all been bitch slapped.. Lol

Good to see you all here though

And as you know this is untrue. Healthy debate is encouraged as long as you can back up any arguments with reasonable intelligence. If you just "go off on one" you will not be welcome. Why does anybody have a problem with this?

The problem is he allows himself to criticise openly and insult
When you challenge or defend the posts are removed by his ever watching hench- men or him
very cowardly behaviour indeed and you defend that!

This is very well said Noble Ox, some people are happy to just follow his ways! I was not one of them as I believe in equal freedom of speech! Also as you say posts are deleted or altered and can make u look in the wrong while members only see what he wants!
I also suffered questions turned in to new topics posted under my name by a certain Pearson !

Precisely the behaviour as a mod on this forum no less that eventually led to him running off with his tail between his legs to open his own forum representing his own little world view when he didn't get his way here. Coward describes him perfectly.

We recently had a 75 page thread started by H4ppy Chris, virtually promoting his own base recipe in a very roundabout way

I'm keen to understand the point you're making here. I don't see much wrong with the navigation or ease of finding any specific recipe. Are you suggesting something like pre-approval of posts which will only make it on to the forum if they are considered 'worthy' or, conversely, should be deleted by the moderator acting as a dictator to delete anything which isn't 'good enough' in the moderator's opinion? Are you suggesting that specific members present here, but not on CA's forum, are creating all the rubbish you allege clogs up this forum?

There can't have been a thread created recently by h4c because he hasn't been a member for several months. So how did his old thread get to 75 pages? It must be because many members are interested in the recipe and want to discuss it, together with closely related issues like whether there will ever be a book. What's wrong with that? Should any posts which are slightly off topic be ruthlessly deleted, like I assume CA must do, from what you say?

Comrades! Forward, to the Lubyanka of Curry forums!!!

I think you are misunderstanding Mick, George.  (a), He wrote "(tongue firmly in cheek)" in re "ton[ne]s of <moderated>", and (b), I think you will find that "we" in "We recently had a 75-page thread" referred not to CR0 but to <the place that shall not be named>.

I'm intrigued. What subject elicited a 75 page thread?

...an ebook, by any chance....?!

From my recall it was something like

Anyone up for making a BIR curries base

Absolutely crazy feeding fest! I seem to remember that the thread was closed down & re-opened several times at the moderators & CA's whim
