You may well live in different time zones and i realise you cover it as well as you both can do. I was using it as an example.. same as GC.. its not covered 24/7 because there are not enough people there..
The GC board has a moderator in the US and on in the UK.. but its still not enough..

Fencer.. as much as some of us love being here.. you would need so many moderators for each board to have them covered all of the time.. and as has been said you would need a set of standards set and also have people who will be totally unbiased whetever is going on.. Are there that many people about who would be wiling to take on the task...

The music board is one example.. both moderators are in the same time zone.. so how can that be covered like that..
the general chat.. ok, 2 different time zones.. 2 moderators.. but neither are not always here either.. so its uncovered a lot of the time.. some of them only have one moderator.. so just cannot be covere al the time ..

I personally think it will be a hrd job to find people to do the moderating 24/7

Its great when the moderators are there on line... It would be great to have some of the boards covered 24/7... but we know that is just about impossible... but when neither/all moderator is there who can do anything??? no-one..
(Well fencer if he is here) (Or contact the individual)
Ok A lot of our children here the words in the street and in the home.. It doesn't mean they are going to start using them.. its not that they will turn into bad people if they do..

To me its a matter of respect...and its children/minors I am aiming at here more... If I swear in front of my children.. my fault, my problem.. but I certainly dont expect others to swear in front of them.. And we should respect that here.. Also there are different cultures here too.. and to some of them its a bad thing!! so again It comes down to respect...

Some /a lot of you probably dont agree with me....
But I HAVE RESPECT FOR CHILDREN! If we dont show them respect, they will never learn to have it themselves!

Yes there are times and places.. there are some young children who play on this site.. they dont need to be seeing the words..
Yes they probably here them amongst friends and family... but here we should be showing them respect and not letting them see them..
This is a family site..

And thanks steve for the suggestion.. yes we will still know what the words are.. but at least it will look better untill it can be removed!

I 4th!

the start date is on the game notation bit at the top isnt it???

Or do you mean when a game has finished???

If it was a users choice to turn it on, what if the other player didn't want it?.. I can see mud slinging starting there in that particular case..

i find it annoying sometimes too!!!! when i am in the middle of talking and then get the message about the turn being passed!!!! I certainly would not like to see it here...

This is a great site with so many great features... be thankful for what you have got and the speed fencer works at to get things sorted and also the replies to us all :)

hahahaha!! dat bee wite medik

it went down for me around midnight GMT.. but went to bed... after a few tries...

please stop this buskvibes/taurec, it really is no fun for us to read.. and only causing more problems for yourself...

you talking to yourself steve.. i see 10 messages to read.. get here and only 2!!! hhhmmmmm lol

yes runningwolf, it will starighten out in time.. just play your games and enjoy the site :)

i too think its good to have the different levels too :) that gives people a chance to try it out :) then depending on their playing as to which level to decide to get a membership for :) some of us (like myself ) are very regular players and really do appreciate the rook level .. others the knight is enough :) each to our own...
when i was a pawn, i certainly didn't feel any segregation.. each and every pewrson was as welcoming as the next, whatever level they were!
this is the friendliest sute i have ever played at..and it will never change due to the great people here.

please please don't close the site fencer :( you will have a lot of unhappier people! i personally think you do a great job, there are just the odd few who have their say.. most of us appreciate what you are doing, i wish i could afford to sponsor you!!! as i am sure a lot more of us could too :)

hear hear BlazinBrian, i agree with you :)

i had the (XX) new messages there BBW
