For example VBulletin (whether or not you personally have a problem with them, Jess). You don't have to ban me Jess - I'm gone. I'll just have to live without all this good stuff. Would it be possible for you to post some screenshots of what it is you think would make this forum look or act better? For example what should a Modern bulletin board look or act like,that this one isn't? Just asking for more clarification.Also what if Jess did change a few things,wouldn't it just turn into some liking it ,while others not so? Again,just asking for some examples from you that could show us some samples,if you will. Thanks Tim |

As for over-moderation, just yesterday you were confused about what the differences between ScooterBBS and Modern Vespa were, and here you are repeating the well-worn rubric that Modern Vespa is "over-moderated". Yes, this is a moderated forum. That's what makes it different from ScooterBBS. Deal with it, don't deal with it, whatever. But please, stop whining. In light of the last couple of PMs you've sent me, and your ridiculous accusations here, I'd like to invite you to leave, Colin. You're not welcome here anymore. ⚠️ Last edited by jess on UTC; edited 1 time

The gray is fine with me, very easy to read. The color is supposed to come from the members.
If we need something small to complain about, how about shoelaces. They used to stay tied. Now, using these modern new fangled textiles, I have to tie and retie them all day |

Seriously though, the things which are "moderated" always seem to have been plain and simple breaches of the posting guidelines. Rather than fighting with the enforcement of posted guidelines after signing up "in acceptance" of them, why not just not sign up? I'm sure many of the breaches are unintentional anyway, so unless one were intentionally trying to go against the grain, why would one get terribly angry? ⚠️ Last edited by xantufrog on UTC; edited 2 times

MY complaint with this forum? Well, I'm glad you asked...
My complaint is that I didn't get a single "welcome gift" for signing up for this forum! Not 1!!! No Free Scoot. No free t-shirt, no sticker. Not even a bowl of guacamole! Can you believe that!! I mean, how "MODERN" is that? In today's modern society where everyone wants something for nothing, and you take on the Modern label, and don't fulfill your duty?!!! Seriously Jess! You're totally slacking here! I've sent you AT LEAST 0 PMs about this issue, and you haven't answered a single one! Whatever man! I want my freaking bowl of guac already! |

Anyway, being a good australian company, all Mitre 10 had to do to film that ad was to pop down to Bondi - more Kiwis there than on the North Island. And don't forget, if it wasn't for Australia - you JAFA's would not have any trains running (well sort of)! Aren't you proud of how benevalant your regional Cuz is? |
