    I was thinking this...

    I'm a beginner and I'm sure the more senior posters don't want to trawl through my inane ramblings ;)

    Nah, I don't mind! But sorely needs this section. That is why many new people came to WMB. It was easy to approach, and friendly. Now it looks a bit sinister!

    "Stop posting inanely then "

    Superb reaction from a mod there...
    Really showing your maturity and demonstrating that you can moderate this forum well... :?

    I mean; my posts may *appear* inane to those who do know more about bikes than I - this in itself does not make them inane. Remember, you yourself were a beginner once...

    CLEAR?

    very few post are inane but a lot of replies are. Inane posts should be placed in either the sandbox (or the arms). as that is where most of the inane replies hang out looking for posts to attach themselves to.

    How come nick you can be civil as a mod and yet others, just seem to think its big & clever to put others down.

    surely the BEGINNERS forum should be easy to find?

    surely crucial to get BEGINNERS to post on this forum?

    Maybe BEGINNERS ain't welcome?

    Any answers Mods?

    can i have the stroppy Mod please?
    He's kinda cute :oops:
  • We, at MBUK used to have sarc tags, [sarc] [/sarc] but they seem to be missing from the Bikeradar jobbie.

    And when you have met and ridden with all the mods, as I have done, then you realise that they are actually normal people :D

    Yep Nuts, I posted that, looked back and thought "Oh, Sh1t, can I edit, cant be bothered"
    Looks like SS has some catching up to do as well.

    SS had to get ill and spend his days on the PC to get his count up.

    What leads you to waste so much time on here?

    "Nuts postcount is like Jordan's boobs."

    Fake? ;)
  • There was a glitch in the universal post counting gnome on MBUK for a while, and everybody's posts got doubled and added to my post count. I actualy had more posts than were made on the WHOLE forum for quite a while :D

    My screen name was Nuts4fsr.
    Then it got a 'tm' added in superscipt because someone tried to copy me.
    Then it had Super added because I caught a street robber/mugger single handed recently.
    Plus, I am a bit of a legend :wink:
