OK here goes SOME RULES FIRST:

1) This thread is not meant for people to say badd stuff about each other, but to give complaints about relevant things that bother you - and if possible to make a suggestion what could be done to improve on that.
2) It's not the purpose of this thread to start a fight, so keep it civilized!
3) Since the topic is serious enough, please restrain yourselves from making jokes.

Complaints so far:

Until now I noticed a few complaints that came up and here they are:

-the admins are changing member titles to their own liking (this one started a real uproar a few days ago). My suggestion - there is a list of titles people get and so far it worked OK. The list changed, but that's no big deal. If people complain we might have a poll about it. But names of people shouldn't be changed simply because mods/admins feel like playing around (it's a part of the profile after all). Some people were really upset about that.

-the warn meter also caused some debates. It's not the meter that's the problem it's the lack of clear rules. So one suggestion is to have a subforum, where your post wouldn't count (apearently people are conserned that spamers would get to high on the overall poster's list). Puffin made this suggestion, I agree with her. If people are making ridicilous posts only to have more of them, that should be stoped. I also suggest that some clear rules are pinned somwhere in the forum to show what exactly is spamming. Also there should be a way of complaining and setteling things if two people are in disagreement - some sort of a higher authority who would decide on case to case basis (since the general rules always have exeptions).

-and now a little complaint of my very own! Some threats are getting closed and reopened. Obviously admins/mods aren't always of the same opinion (it's only natural), but such things aren't setting good examples. There's much talk about admin wars,... I know it's only a joke, but it's not very constructive. So there should be some rules when a thread should be closed and how or why should it be reopened.

-some people have been complaining about sigs and avatars (mostly sigs) of some members. I think neither should be offensive, but it's difficoult to say what is and what isn't offensive. But I think that bloody images are a bit inapropriate... But I don't mind them myself, so I'm nearly bringing up a point made some time ago...

A suggestion next: The person who starts the thread should be able to have some control over it. After all that's the only person who knows why the thread was opened and what is still connected to the topic and what's not.

EDIT: And just a question at the end - it says at each subforum who it's led by. What exactly does that mean? Shouldn't that person be resposible for the intire containt of the subforum? That person should have the mod/admin status, right?
