Hi guys,

I posted this earlier but I think this is the more appropriate forum (apologies):

I am sorry if this suggestion has been proposed earlier..... How about letting the members decide whose input is unnecessary. If members were allowed to "like" or "dislike" someone's comments (similar to Yahoo and Youtube) the website can monitor who's contributions are not appreciated by the masses. If a member accrues more "dislikes" than "likes" temporary posting restrictions can be placed on that member. I don't know if the system could be that simple but at least the concept is worth considering.

We've considered it but the current forum software doesn't allow likes/dislikes unfortunately.

thanks for your patience guys, sorry its been a drama.


Has this now been reinstated? I posted in the Lounge this morning and then was not able to post in Central Coast and Whitsundays thread until the 600s had passed.

Thanks for the heads up Mick and it's good to see the admins taking notice of members comments.

Whats the general felling about the Northern hemisphere Hurricanes/storms in this forum ??

I was under the impression that if the event was not in our AOR it went in the World forum ..

Cheers

maybe the forum could be renamed 'Australian Tropical Lows/Cyclones' or something similar, to prevent further confusion?
