At least she never asked you to read it last night.<whistle>

I missed the game last night as I had agreed to drive one of our directors to his retirement party so he could have a drink, managed to see the goals on my phone after I had received alerts from BBC. I could not get out of it as I agreed to do it months ago, he is also passing on some of his better connections to me.

My daughter asked me to read through her dissertation to check it reads ok.

What the f*ck do I know about "The Role of TRPM2 Channels in Alzheimers Disease".

Well I will pour myself a port and give it a go!

Just make sure you say it's okay before you've had too many ;)

Business and your future come first GK so you did the right thing.<ok>

I've always felt that the people with the power to ban other users shouldn't take part on the forum themselves. It never worked for the Eaves woman or ja606. Every time an argument broke out, those with the power stopped it by eliminating the competition - that's dictatorship.


One forum I occasionally visit to stay up-to-date on tech news (Slashdot) has the best soft-moderation system I've seen.

Mod points are randomly assigned to users with good karma and that gives them the ability to mod up or down comments. Anything down voted by more than a couple of people disappears from the default view.

Receiving more up votes than down votes puts you in contention for getting mod points the next day.


Wouldn't work somewhere like here, it needs a lot of users to work... But you almost never see too offensive comments because they pretty much better modded down immediately.

I know people moaned about BBC606 but it was one element of it that really worked. Completely impartial moderating on the forum and an impartially moderated complain button - kept the site clean.

I use the BBC football HYS's quite a lot and have clicked on the complain option many times due to references to Hillsborough, Heysel etc, the problem with it is there isn't someone acting as moderator in their office at all times, and the offensive comments are left on the thread for anyone with an internet connection anywhere in the world to see for hours sometimes.
Their system is outdated and could do with an active moderator on hand around the clock, alternatively they could close the comments section overnight.:bandit:

Didn't they used to close 606 at 11p.m.? No good for Diego <laugh>
 
No mate. I'm registered but haven't put pen to paper yet or whatever the internet version of that is. Do you go by your old username on there?

No, I was under my old username but the BBC site wouldn't recognise my password, the "we'll send you an email so you can change your current password" was useless because the email address I used to join the site was from when Telewest cable TV had their own internet email connect to the set top box, Telewest/activemail vanished about 15 years ago.<laugh>
So had to open a new account.:emoticon-0101-sadsm

Ah I forgot Telewest was the name before Virgin. We were one of the first areas in Liverpool to get cable.
