Forums have been dropped?

[ka3jjz]

I was trying to post something that wouldn't fit in the usual places (having to do with an ad from the FCC for repacking) only to find all of them appear to be gone. I mean some of the ones like the computer forum. Deliberate or was that a booboo with the most recent release of the software?

Tavern Changes

As you may have noticed, the Tavern forums are back online with a few forums missing. The most significant difference is the Politics forum is missing. Unfortunately it seemed to bring out the worst in people and the time spent moderating it became excessive for our volunteer moderators...

If I'm not logged on, I can see the Tavern forums.
If I am logged on, I cannot.

+1. But you'll notice the "politics" and "rants" sections aren't there anymore

Along with the "Everything Else" section.

The forums team is making some changes to the Tavern... they may need to tweak some permissions, however we are discontinuing some of the tavern forums to clean up how some members act around here.

And that is VERY much appreciated.

Now the mods will have to work work work and stick like glue to the rest of the forums to police everything and get to go hog wild on infractions and such cause they cant point to the tavern and say go there now. Have fun with that yo.

The mods were already having to "work work work" in those tavern forums to maintain some level of civility. The tavern has never been a total free for all, it's not as if you were permitted to post anything without the mods ever having to clean things up. So maybe now some of the members who can't seem to act appropriately will be shown the door for good. Seems we had a few members who made 99% of their posts in the tavern forums, leading some of us to wonder why they were members of a scanner/radio hobby website in the first place.

And with that I think we're done here.
