Maybe he has other work to do? Cant expect answers 24/7 thats just silly, once or twice a week is fine with me.

Having seen some of the ill thought out and plain stupid questions on the board who can blame him.

Perhaps he has a job to do at the club which takes priority

I don't think he anticipated having to answer quite so many questions though! Not a job i'd want! He spent his Saturday morning answering questions i think the guy deserves a break and a little bit less criticism, keep up the good work!
:clap:

looking at previous questions he/she has answered them quite quickly normally the same day, so I was just wondering where he/she is?
I am not knocking the service, just asking if everything is still OK.

I thought it was going to be 'fairly heavily moderated' - surely some of the crap on there should be despatched by the mods rather than wasting the valuable time of a club employee?

I have already removed at least 15 threads. Some of the others are on the borderline as frankly are not going to be answered as they are of a speculative or confidential nature. If anyone thinks some more pruning is required please PM me.

Did'nt Bozza say that when a new question is asked it fires off an e-mail to the club straight away?
Would'nt it be best for Mods to moderate (as you are) then YOU click the "e-mail the club" button so they dont get e-mails everytime some donut complains about the standards of Withdean!

Sustainable transport to/from Withdean/Falmer is not an issue to be be joked about!

Maybe there should be screening of questions before they get through to the ask the club forum. There is far too much trivia which will eventually piss the club/insider off and the whole thing will end up abandoned.

I dont understand, what makes the answer to a question
'confidential' ?

It's a bit of a no win situation. I think the forum is an excellent idea and have found some of the replies very useful.

However if we over moderate it then we become accused of being lackeys of the club, which is never intended to be the case.

Some of the questions by (sorry to name them) Rih Suv'nor and The Wookie are not going to generate a response IMO because there is no way the club is going to reveal its hand about future or confidential issues. However I may be wrong about this so am between the devil and the deep blus sea.

All I would ask is that people think before writing.

We even had a very good question from FG last night, which was only removed because it was a repeat of another already on the board.
