You guys are just being silly here.
I'm not stopping you have your say, but it is ridiculous when you open General Chat and all you see are threads on one subject created by a handful of people who oppose the idea of community mods.
99% of the community would like this place to not be 100% one subject most people have little interest in when they open up general chat.
If General Chat had 20 threads from Liz talking about how you are all pikies would you be happy? No, you wouldn't. It is not appropriate for a handful of people to take over the entire site to talk about one issue. When that happens it is absolutely appropriate for me to say - stop creating new threads on the same subject - and that is all I am doing.
