Right guys - I am closign this thread off - really not in the best spirits of the forum. The mods are here to look after the best interests of the forum and to uphold the forum rules - they do it for FREE and give up their valuable time to ensure itt runs smoothly. For every one or two posts that escape the mods attention there is the others that are seen to and not known about.

They do - theyhave to verify an email account and human verification techniques, however spammers are becoming more clever. and these automated spammers can be difficualt to stop.

Tim

Thanks guys for reporting it - user has gone for good.

Tim

Sorry all,

We can't condone such methods and I have closed the post.

Hi Guys - is your computer software upto date? Also please do try logging out and back in again - hopefully that should solve the issue.

Tim

Thanks guys - all vaalid comment, however I think this thread has run its nautual course and think of forums as living creatures they have their good weeks and they equally have their bad weeks which is suprisingly true - as said it cycles between tow two!

TIm

Cheers!

Those who deliberately troll the forum looking to upset or flame members will be reomved along with those who go out there way to insult other members.

Please do use the report button if you see this happening - all the mods and me will then beable to look at it!

Thanks all

Tim

Hi All,

I would just like to say a warm welcome to a couple of new mods on PiA. Russell (Tyke) and Jaqui (caoimhe).

Please don't give em too much of a hard time...... until atleast they get to know how to press the right buttons.

Tim

Blinking Heck Tim,Don't tell us you are going back!

Na - Just curious - Me now an pozzie - got the passport and everythingelse including the labotomy - but it is home.

We are going back to the UK and have surrendered our Aussie driving licences and got a refund and this can be done before the last minute as you can drive on your UK licence for that short amount of time until you leave. Friends of ours who have gone back didnt realise this and they left it right until they were about to go, unfortunately they have still to received the refund. Just something that might be helpful !

is the refund the % that you have unused before it expires?

What if you dont really care one way or the other, can't that be an option to *tick* ?

Like all forums on PiA - they'll be those that you have no interets in and those that you do.. Just ignore the ones you don't want to look at! Easy Peasy.

Forum for all those thinking or wanting to return to the Uk - by popular demand.

Hi all,

I have just voted no, the reason i voted this way was because there was not a "I don't care" choice and as people died to give us the chance to vote on forums I thought I should, (I failed my history o level so may be wrong on the last bit).

 

Simon

Voting is compulsory in Australia for citizens - which I think is quite right. Anyway thats a topic for another thread! :jimlad:

The the moment the Ayes - have a 3:1 majoprity over the Naes... Cast your votes... If your in Australia - its compulsory! LOL

In true democratic style, with many differnet opinions on the matter - I've added a poll to this. Give it a week and then we can decide!

Tim

Righty ho flks - I have just tidied this up.. please keep it ontrack.

Thanks!

Tim

HiAll,

The section in question is here on PiO http://www.pomsinoz.com/forum/moving-back-uk/

My intial thoughts would be that becuse it is localised to Adelaide it wouldn't be required, however if there is enough iterestI could look atit- I wouldn't want to spread out the forum too thinly!

Tim

They don't generally and the mods do an excellent job - I was saying that a bit tongue and cheek as your hardly know for a reserverd approach on PiO :-)

There is a difference between a good and healthy debate and those that turn nasty and turn into a slagging match - thats the difference.

Its a forum so of course some arguments will get heated,only natural isnt it?( in the real world anyway.....)its a very emotive subject because of who it was and because of the allegations etc,i think that anyone coming on here and expecting everything to be sweetness and light is extremely optomistic/naive even,btw if anyone wants to send me insulting P.Ms feel free,as long as you dont mind getting them back:biglaugh:

Pablo - have you got your "Sniff Out An Arguement" receptors firmly plugged in mate?

Ahh the peace indeed. remmeber please use the "report' button! I have no hesitation in removing the 0.1% who do not use this forum as intended. 99.9% of members are fantastics - its just the occassional troll or bad apple who spoils it!

Tim

This is the report button.

As Pete says - the Barbieis for off topic chats and general banter. It is still governed by the forum rules which keeps the site fair and enjoyableto all. I have no issue with general dscussion, however I will out rightly ban any mamber who breaks the rules consistently and does not use the forum in a manner which i would constitute in the best interests of its users. That involves insulting members on the forum or via Pms etc.

This I believe is fair. The moderators are here to ensure the forum rules are upheld, not to be insulted.

If you have any questions or complaints feel free to PM me! I don't bite but I have very little tolerance to members who do not use the forumin true spirit for which it was created.

Tim

Perhaps a new thread on the matter is required - wehat was happeening was folk were having a pop at each other , which is not really on on a public forum.

Tim

The thread was closed for a very good reason and that is if it breaks fthe forum rules and gets personal - that is the reason why. It is a very emotive subject no less and has some stong opinions on things, howveer when it get to the point when things get personal and folk are offended - that is not on.
