Problems in the for sale section.
thermidorthelobster:
There is now a poll. But the point isn't what is most popular, it's what works best for the site. I anticipate the majority will probably vote for back the way it was. But that doesn't take away the issue of abuse of the system and the amount of moderator time that it takes to police that one section.
As I said, however, the feedback IS read and discussed. The issues are typically more complex than they appear. For example, people say - don't penalise everybody for the actions of the few - but if you knew how much hassle and grief we sometimes get from the few, the decision as it was might make more sense.
That's not to say it won't be changed. The idea was introduced on the basis of let's see how it goes. Your feedback is part of that process.

I'm going to guess most people will vote for it back the old way as alot of people dont like change. I am one of them when it comes to forums as I know my way around and then I have to change where I click etc. Im sure if you gave it say 6months this way then most people will have got used to this method and probably wont vote back the way it was.
Yeah it is annoying seeing the only moderators can post here message but hey, say to yourself "doh yup I forgot" click the back button then click pm instead.
Or another suggestion I have is, if you do goback the way it was, how about more moderators just in the for sale bit to help kep on top of things?
Mud Club is the joint best forum I type on. Its the only 4x4 forum I type on!! I ran a forum for over a couple of years and got so much abuse I left it and handed it over to someone else (who couldnt hack it for 6 months!) I am now back on the forum I started but no more than a general member. I congratulate everything Mud Club doesas I have met loads of new friends through here and that to me alone is worth changing my ways to suit the changes the admin guys put in.
Final word from me is,
Thank you to all the mods and admin guys on here, you do a fantastic job and I hope the club keeps going for many more years to come yet. a huge thank you.

Thankyou for the feed back.
That is the reply i would of liked to have received earlier.
If i was a bit ott before then i appologise, but when you get a reply like "you can always go some where else" its not nice.
Its people like your selves putting the time in and people like me that make this site one of the best on the tinternet.
Lets not spoil that, if it wernt for people like your selves and the contributors like my self there wouln`t be a Mud Club.
Its working together that can make a good site in to a dogs danglies site.
Ok L.R.O. is a commercial site, but they are trying to address the problems they have.
Why not have a Complaint forum.
Not just about the site but things in general. Council tax, car tax, wife etc etc. blah blah blah.

Yours is a fair comment - sorry!

There are many many reasons why the for sale section has just gone onto a "Post only" method, I feel I shouldn't need to point them out again but hey ho.
Please note, that Mud-Club takes around three hours a day of my time, and that's on a good day. Not to mention that there is also a financial burden to running the club and organising the limited few events that I organise.
I know that Thrasher and the other moderators put in an equal amount of time and income cases funds to mud-club.
I know that the for-sale section is now not to everyone's taste, but you cannot please all of the people all of the time, and with mud-club becoming one of the busier 4x4 sites on the planet I wanted to be able to start sleeping at night again.
I'm sorry if this meets with disapproval, but I figured that having sacrificed at least one relationship, most of my holidays and a significant chunk of my overdraft to please "some of the people most of the time" I would be selfish and not sacrifice my health as well...
