Faos Etc

[EcclesCake]

I've lost track of where this discussion has got to but is there any kind of plan to have a category for FAOs. It will almost certainly be abused but it is becoming a little tedious.

There are frequently threads directed to 'the experts' which don't take account of the expertise of others and are therefore self limiting. Particularly when there is a poster with more recent and pertinent experience.

And then there are the FAOs along the lines of 'Thanks Chumbawamba I've fixed it'

Not to mention the 'FAO Eric, are you about?'

Yes, you can avoid them but sometimes it is difficult to especially when they are in a specialist category rather than Chatterbank!

Please either a tightening/reminder of the rules or a 'Calling your Name' category.

Live and let live.

Tut tut, Boxy :-)

[ummmm]

Boxy...I don't think that's an issue either especially when people are using throwaway emails...

[gness]

Isn't it scary how strung up we can get over such little things.

[anneasquith]

[gness]

Did I not reply by text, Anne?....☺

[anneasquith]

[gness]

Okay....just tying a note for you to the pigeon's leg....☺

[anneasquith]

ABed summed it up for me.
There IS a small group who dominate this site and make it difficult for others to participate.
The derailment right above me is good evidence of this.
This is supposed to be an open to all question and answer site, only it isn't open to all.
It feels very closed indeed sometimes.

it has wandered off down several different paths, hasn't it, Mojo-Jo-Jo? Some on private land

[shoota]

You have a point for AB, Mojo, but CB operates under different rules surely? As long as nobody says 'Butt out, this is our thread' then CB is for chattering.

[gness]

Not sure any more, Shoota...says so in the heading but lots seem to want it run their way...x

[anneasquith]

indeed, chattering for everyone :)

[gness]

Sqad hit the nail on the head.

[ummmm]

Butt out...Back off...is their a difference?

Lots seem to want to run it the same as the Ed does...

[anneasquith]

he did G

[baza]

Blackadder put that pigeon down.

[factor-fiction]

Is an FAO thread different to this?
