Please list new features that you want. For example, some of you said you want a WWII Video game forum. What else?

If you could post the rank and post that it takes to get there. What privlages go along with them. Dont know if you might want to keep these secret or not. Up to you, I understand if you dont want to post them. Also many have made some recommedations under Site Recommedations. The biggest thing for the moment would be to be able to post your own avatars.

Own avatars is probably what most people want right now. Maybe if you add another topic to the site called "WW2 resources" or something like that. So that we can list good books, movies, internet sites etc.

We have a book forum that in General WW2 Discussion. You started it. Were you wanting a more indepth forum just devoted to books???

That might be cool. Each topic is a book???? Let me know what you think. :)

that would take some research and work, so dont know if anyone is willing to spend the time to do it
we gather as many info for any movies, games and make a review for it, you know, which one is worth to see and which one does not correctly describe the history
and if possible, have some bio for generals in world war 2 (in detail)

and the pm is not working well, most of the time it didnt alert me for new pm

I think i just need to write some opinion of movies you have seen, and grade it
5 stars - great, perfect
4 stars - very good
3 stars - its worth to take a look
2 stars - poor quality
1 stars - garbage

HI everyone,
I am still alive:) I have been out of town again. I noticed that Google now has this site as #1 when you type in "world war 2 pictures". That's great! Lots of people should be joining the site now.

I will be working on some new changes to the site including some new forums that you guys want. Also, I have a new WWII Gaming site that is almost done. I think you all will like it.

I will respond to everyone's PM soon. Thanks for making this a great place.

This would be a good idea maybe we can have a topic on each movie and then the associated poll we can have the vote averaged. So a movie like Saving private ryan would get a 4.8 coz somebody didnt like it. This would be nice. Not sure if the forum can be set up like this.

Would it be possible to rig a system where the allowable avatar size increases with contributions? The simplest way would probably be to tie it in with the rank system. After all, rank and medals are all well and good, but I want a bigger picture! Also, it would be a clear reward that everyone could enjoy (except for those who only have small pictures anyway).

ww2admin just updated to a new version of the board ........ so if you were on the site the other nite im guessing you got a debugging message. My guess is that he was working on things and didnt know it affected the site.

I have noticed a bug with the new update. For example sometimes you will click on a post and it will come up that it does not exist. It is there but it seems that the computer is making an extra page when it doesnt need to. I and FW-190 will look into the matter and hopefully fix it. Please deal with the temporary inconveince.

While I am fully aware that the posting of a PM received from another member is against site rules and hence I abide by them, does the administration not think that perhaps this may not be such a good idea ?

It seems to me that some PMs are sent from one party to another for the sole purpose of winding up or insulting the recipient.

If a member has something to say to another could it not be couched in such terms as are acceptable to the site as a whole ?
To send a PM to someone in the certain knowledge that it must remain hidden from view of the body of the membership smacks of cowardice.

Admittedly there are five members to whom a complaint about a PM one takes umbrage at can be directed, but that too seems to be a case of 'running to the teacher.' :)

I would have thought that our membership, regardless of age, was mature enough to stand by what they write and if they feel they would like to send a PM to another they are also man enough* to see it in open forum.


*Or woman enough, there are a few ladies with an interest in this subject and we must remain politically correct ! :lol:

I do have to agree that cuts does have a point. being abused by PM is not nice and it would be good to see the kind of abuse that some will perpetrate on others. The fact is that right now I can PM anyone about anything and it it not allowed to be posted, rather than encourage better behaviour, it will probably encourage worse.

Anyway I am now going to re-read the forum rules and send the Mods an example of blatant rule breaking.

What about forwarding a PM? Is that allowed?

For example, if a member sends an insulting or otherwise objectionable PM, is is acceptable to forward it on to a Moderator?

How about a message that needs to be forwarded for some other reason?

I am only asking for clarification here as the message in question was patently inflammatory in tone and the sender obviously would not have said these things in the open forum as they would have earned him a warning (at least).

Bluffcove did break the site rules by quoting the message, but, in his defence, he did not say who it was from and the rules on dealing with an offensive message are not entirely clear!

Do not post other members PM's on the site. If you recieve a PM from a member that you feel is offensive please forward it to our current administrators/moderators:ww2admin, Gen. Sandworm ,FW-190 Pilot, South African Military and Dani. We will then discuss it with that person and take action from there.


This is the current rule. Could be found on http://www.ww2incolor.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=2563#2563

Come on Erwin, you can't seriously believe that people are concerned about site 'medals' can you ?
I'm sure Tsolias meant it as a joke.
(You did Tsolias, didn't you ? :shock:)

This is the Internet, it's a virtual world.
No-one firing on all four takes it that seriously.
As long as people can act maturely and stand by their posts it should be an enjoyable experience.

Similarly with the 'ranks' people get for their post count. It's a bit of fun !
I'm sure neither Dani nor SAM believe themselves to be colonels, and I can't imagine that Gen. Sandworm would assume he's a Major General either !

Having said that, we've all seen loads of obsequious brown-noseing, and mutually-congratulating posts where people are busting a gut to increase their count, (and ergo their 'rank',) but one hopes that this will remain the province of the socially and intellectually challenged.

Personally I like Man of Stoat's thread about the Dullard's Posting Checklist in the Off Topic - General forum.
It gives some very good pointers as to how people can post intelligently and generate a higher level of interest and input than, for example, the "What if" type threads.

HOW ABOUT

All messags that you send are public property and are not yours once you ahve sent htem, priovded htey are uneditted you may show them to whomever you like.

It might stop that argentine cunt from sending inflammatroy remarks, such as he did.

DANI read the message that I posted from Erwin Jizzer, it contains the phrase "whne you make this message public" Am I wrong to conculde that he thought i would make htis message public?

If he didnt want it to be public when he knew i would display it why did he send it? Is it because your forum rules purposefully protect him from retribution. I am sure that in any court of Law one cannot send messages and then prevent them being shown publicly you might like to read the case of Hewitt versus the Windsors. Its farly self explanatory if you have opinions in text that you dont want to be seen dont write htem down.

I agree medals should be stripped after second formal warning,

Whilst we are reviewing medals i suggest you look at hte post counts of those that are awarding them!
to whom they are being awarded
under what grounds htey are being awarded - (Wiki cut and paste does not equal - good post)

Who is missing from the medals honours list, and their respective value to the site.

I personally have lodged my medlas across my ring piece because htey are contemptible

You fail to understnad British humour that is your problem the truth is that I am in no way actively offending you, I won, I cna laugh all day long. regardless of your moderator willy waving
windsor vs hewitt???,huh?,what are you talking about?.

your intellectual property?,i buy a book,read it,then,itīs my intellectual property?,bluffcove,you are out of the rules,accept that.

british humour?,sincerely,i comprehend most of it,and it isnīt SOOOO funny,and i speak spanish,so,i think the only funny jokes in english are the graphic jokes.(like your offensive letter,bad but fun i have to say :lol: ).

I put it to you Erwin that you as a Mod have broken more of the rules here than most of the members:

You have

1. Taken sides in discussions that you have been responsible for Modding.

2. Consistently insulted members of the above Forums.

and

3. Sent abusive PM's.

As I said, you need credibility to Mod and so far you have displayed nothing that shows me this credibility. Why cant you take advice from your fellow Mods behaviour.

Erwin, i stand by what I wrote, and its doubly so for you as you are a Mod.

I dont have a clue who Bluff is and he is more than able to defend himself.

I didn think I had an argument with you over the malvinas thread. In fact we were getting along quite nicely agreeing to disagree.

I dont visit Arrse much, as its for the British Army, which I have plainly stated Im not in.

I have not sent you an insulting PM?

I have watched your behaviour as a Mod, and am honestly dismayed by it. Remember you are a Mod.

I do however stand by a lot of what Bluff says, especially the bit about humour.

And finally, I enjoy discussing ww2 and all things military. I dont enjoy posts such as - Why dont the americans allow the Japanese an army. In my opinion they are just purile as was the Macedonia thread, which in my opinion was started with the purpose of bringing something from another forum here and has absolutely nothing to do with the purpose here.

I claimed that I had shat on Eva Peron's grave because, Well I have, I was pissed and it was funny, Honesty is the best policy etc.

However it was in direct response to your cliams that you were going to go to the Islands and Rape my Ex girlfriend, somehow this set my teeth on edge. I suggest that the "new" Malvinas thread has gone the same way as the old one, at your behest due to your reluctance to apply equal logic to both sides of an argument.

I might add that Private messages are a place for individuals to continue a discussion in more depth, not for private amusment. Therefore i presume that you would allow me include a PM regarding the Falklands in my own post on topic. Your message did invite me to make the message public.

Erwin as a mod you are meant to be above the petty squabbles. unfortunatley not only are you involved in them you are the manifest and origin of nearly all the dullard-esque behaviour here.

Open a thread in Off-topic if you want to "debate"!!

In agreement to our admin (FW-190 Pilot), actions will be taken shortly against Erwin and others involved in Falkland topic (with exception of Bluffcove - he already has a warning for posting a PM).

Remember that rules are subject to changes. Until then, are still unbeatable.

A suggestion for the Mods.....
When Users are browsing a forum (where it says which current user is browing a forum) , Why dont we make a instant chat box when you click on their name ?, and of course if the person doesn't want to talk they can block or something like that, but i know you are not intending to make an instant chat room, so why not just an instant chat private message box when you click on the person's name who's currently browsing? :D :D :D

What do you guys think ???? 8)

etc etc..

BDL
08-05-2005, 08:13 AM
Anyway I am now going to re-read the forum rules and send the Mods an example of blatant rule breaking.


Do not post other members PM's on the site. If you recieve a PM from a member that you feel is offensive please forward it to our current administrators/moderators:ww2admin, Gen. Sandworm ,FW-190 Pilot, South African Military and Dani. We will then discuss it with that person and take action from there.


This is the current rule. Could be found on http://www.ww2incolor.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=2563#2563

Meantime I look forward to receive such examples!

In reply to Cuts' suggestion and the reply from Dani above, surely the PM that was posted for all to see was an abuse of the rules? It was personal abuse from someone in a position that should be above sending childish personal messages like that. Is there any 'punishment' for sending that kind of message - is it similar to doing it publically on the forum?

I partially agree with Erwin here - the discussion is not relevant to the thread. However, I think the discussion has merit, in that it is reasoned debate on a suggestion made about improving the site. Unless someone objects, I will shortly (in half an hour or so, maybe) attempt to split the thread so that the suggestions remain, whilst the debate relating to one specific suggestion is preserved in a separate thread. Apologies if I horribly mutilate the post while attempting this.
i know,you are agree with him.
but you are out off topic.
another suggerence,control the mods when they/he does a bad work.

I have a suggestion. To cut down on irrelevant posts, could we have a thread entitled "Simple Smileys". In it we could enter the following...

1. Name of irrelevant post poster.
2. Link to irrelevant post.
3. Quoted copy of entire post showing irrelevant post.

The admins or mods could then deduct 10 posts from the irrelevant post posters account, 20 if the the post is edited, after inclusion on the "Simpel Smileys" thread, to make it less irrelevant.

The type of posts i feel are irrelevant are the ones that merely contain smileys and/or some kind of one or two word phrase such as "Cool", "sweet" or "Thats cool" etc.

And those which may also contain quotes from previous posts with above comments.

These posts serve no purpose other than to boost members post counts, and merely waste peoples time as they check the said forums for new posts that they mistakenly believe may be worth reading!!!

No worries, I'd be happy with that.

Just a couple of points.
I only posted those to lampoon your post-count hunt.
If anyone would care to check on your and my posts they will find that I use them rarely and mainly to underline a particular point to those whose English might make them miss an underlying meaning.
They will also find that you Erwin use them :
a) without informative text
b) in a far greater numbers than I, and possibly more than any other poster.
c) posted them before I did.

Point c) when checked for veracity will show the quoted post to be incorrect, proving once again that ERWIN SCHÄTZER IS A LIAR.

Anyone unclear ?

Further he has not started or 'made' the thread, it was in fact WW2admin.

That would make it a bit pointless for the others to read, so I imagine that WW2admin's reason for starting the thread was so that anyone could make a suggestion.
But maybe I'm wrong, maybe he did only want mods and admins to contribute to it, in which case my suggestion is that the thread should be accessible only to those people.

no.

im saying that admins work with the site and options of it.

and the mods work in moderating and deleting,editing or calming members.

admins can also moderate and that,but it's not the most important thing that an admin can do.

the admin does this when the mod isn't doing his work in the place of the problems.

I think the censor programmes are a double-edged sword.
People will always find a way round the swear-censor, just by altering the usual spelling.
The software will not recognise this but the human eye/brain will read the word as an expletive.

This rule was brought in by Erwin at the height of the time when he was abusing BRITCON via MSN to protect himself from us exposing him and his abuse:

you can't post private conversations as chat,msn or conversations of out of the forum in this forum.

No more complains about copying other people's work in public, if you have any complains in that field, please pm Gen.sandworm or me about it and we will take it seriously

*If anyone does this again, he will be ban without any warning*

If given a broad reading, it means that if one of us posts the source where a plageriser has copied from we get banned, since this could be considered as complaining.

I was appointed admin by ww2admin. When I came to norway I made FW as my replacement. He is actually charge but since i have a bit of time here lately im try to do as much help as possible. So when we get old and gray im sure we will appoint someone new. I dont think ww2admin wants to many admins so at the moment I think FW or I would have to step down. First step would be becoming a mod and seeing how you do from there. We might need a new mod in the near future but just depends how things go. Hope this give you an idea. :wink:

I don't know how the rest of the readership feel about the posting of PMs, but personally I think that it should be permitted.

Particularly as it only came into force as a direct result of whining by a member who had been exposed as having sent an abusive and profane PM.


I realize that if someone feels 'offended' they have the option of contacting the Admins, but does that show the personality of the sender ?

Many of those that post here are younger people and that also brings up the unpalatable but very real possibility of grooming.
Putting a PM into open forum will show others who may have had contact with the said individual how he really is. Similarly the gen from MSN, etc.

Also, as firefly states, the personal messages should be covered by the same rules as the site.

Flame wars on the site can be fanned by PMs, which can not be quoted.

Edit.
As an add on. Surely if you SENT the PM in the first place, you should be allowed to decide to post it later. It could be very informative and usefull to others later on, both to know what has been said and to whom, and it is your intellectual property so to speak.

Even if this rule is not changed fully, the author should be allowed to publish his own PMs at a later date, even if a recipiant is not.

It has come to my attention that all of the threads in the main board appear similair.

We have "favourite * threads" - filth!
Equipment threads.
History threads
Personality threads,
Policy / politics threads
Battle and operations threads
campaign threads

In every one of the subsections of the index. the problem is that these are divided along national lines. If i want to read about WW2 machine guns I have to vist each antional htread and hten find each machine gun post. If I were to have an equipemnt htread this would be simpler and faster.

Equally if i want to compare the thinking behind SeaLion......and say barbarossa or Overlord we would have to visit the UK the US and the German nationally defined threads as opposed to a imple trip to the "campaign" board.

If I want to know about the battles in North Africa or The ardennes I would have to visit the British thread the German thread the French thread and the "other military units" thread. If it was to be based on "theatres" tyhen navigation would be alot simpler and moderating would be more easily facilitated.

We have people that know an awful lot oabout weaponry and equipment - people that specialise in history and econmic patterms, some of the guys here are serving soldeirs and can offer alot of information on campaigns and manouvers However the moderating staff are not able to use hteir expertise because the area they are asked to cover is so broad. In the Russian military thread for instance the MOD requires knowledge of the working parts of a PPSH, an understanding of the Caucasus geography, an awareness of the inner machinations of Stalins Politburo, not to mention an interest in the Red army as a whole!

I think it would be better if Moderators were only involved in their specialist areas of interest: not the larger national level as it is nigh impossible to be a master of so many disciplines.

This is a very good point.
Few people - if any - specialise in countries because there is generally an outside influence in tactics, eqpt, wpns, etc.
Battles, Ops and campaigns normally have more than one nation in them - especially in WWII.

Think it would be a good idea in some cases - for instance where British humour isn't understood by one of the non-British mods and a warning is given for what was (to the British users) clearly a joke.

If we had an appeal process for warnings, the warn-ee could say to the warn-er - "look it's a British joke, it's not an insult" and undeserved warning would not have to be given.

I think we should "internationalize" the forum and most of its posts to be better for the understanding of any visitor/member of this forum,its better to share and we can also adapt most of the messages without lossing the real sense of it.
i think this would be better to improve the comunication between the entire comunity of ww2incolor forums.

We been thinking about that but I really dont want to tell someone their appealrequest has been denied do to article 9 section 28.3.50.6.2 ......... :D More or less dont want the "he got his repealed why cant i have mine repealed. However I do agree with you. We were thinking maybe if you are good for 3 months you can have one removed or something.

Hey mate have you watched "My big fat Greek wedding" film?

There's a scene there were a new married couple is walking its way out of the church after the ceremony.
The Greek crowd (brides family) are spitting on them as they walked by.
This is a Greek tradition.It supposed to keep the jinx away.
The thing is that if i spit you im sure you'll get the wrong idea.

Conclusion (IMHO):
Keep the British humor for the British and it'll be ok.

That's the reason I suggested it, at the time a lot of British posts were being deleted and warnings given because certain Mods just didn't understand what they were saying. I'm sure if a load of Greeks were registered, it would be the same for you lot.

I genuinely think that as long as this forum is in English and a lot of English speaking humour is a play on words that certain people will take things the wrong way.

Im sure its not going to change to another language, so English speaking humour is here to stay Im afraid.

I was talking about British humor-not English speaking humor.

A very lot of it is the same. Culturaly that is.

I once had a fantastic trip to India with the military. Youd be surprised at just how many Indians had a similar sort of humour too.

That's three quarters of the globe out of the equation then :wink:

Anyhow, it was just an idea, if the Mods think it's unworkable, then fair enough.
