Who is we @ fatman

[313Ghazi]

We is the members of the forum.

Yes "we" don't admin the content, but "we" do have the right to express an opinion.

This current method I find lame.

Others might not.

I think it reminds ME of the old pakdef forum where you could barely see any sign of life.

I suspect the volume of posts have likely reduced due to this format, I have certainly reduced my engagement because it is difficult to see any new content I want to engage in.

In other forums I frequent THEY add threadmarks to the top of the list which act like bookmarks signposting to significant news.

I don't know why YOU are so offended.

Don't you use the Latest Posts feature?

 

[Jango]

Just the kind of content I need on my day off.

I use mobile and see a latest post feed, so I know exactly where people are engaged in and hot topics.

Look im not complaining and I might be the only one...

But if I see latest posts on something with 100+ pages, I wonder...

1. Is it 2 guys randomly arguing about something off topic or insulting each other

2. Is there an actual update worth reading about?

I'll give you an example... I clicked on the army one and saw a new mobile mortar system in a tweet. That was cool, that I want to see.

I clicked on PTI news and it's just guys bickering. No actual news.

When we used to create new topics for all new news, it would be easier for me to tell what was bickering and what was news.

Although I see why you don't always want a new topic for everything, but sometimes it warrants it right?

Biggest example I can think of is when ISPR did a press conference and announced all these new amazing hi tech weapons systems.

It was buried in one of the big threads. Unless you click on them to see - you don't know it happened.

Again @Fatman17 brother it's nothing personal and idk why you came across so trigger happy on my other one in the suggestions thread but it was NEVER my intention to offend.

As someone who moderated a previous version of PDF I know it's thankless unpaid work.

I understand what you mean, some important topics may need new threads and people do create them. I created AJK elections thread, not many people are interested and soon it will disappear but demand is also needed, GB elections was the same.

What I normally do is follow my favourite topics, I keep going to submarines, J35, Rocket force, Iran war etc threads then follow up the updates, creating new threads for every news will end up with 1000s of different threads.

I just came from JF-17 Thunder forum where there were 4 pages of no JF-17 content... Can't say it wasn't entertaining but it wasn't JF17

 

[Waz]

We are meeting about this bro.

We have no updates on Jf17, J10Cs, J35s so people are speculating, discussing etc, if we stop this then forum will go dead, we need occasional debates and kickoffs, unless its completely off topic, the best way is report off topic posts and moderators when free will delete them.

@Fatman17 has and is totally ruining this forum hour-after-hour and day-after-day, sorry buddy.

The forum has become a personalised catalogue of news items for @ghazi52 and @Fatman17.

It's ridiculous.

All you see is a long list of threads titled, "News & Discussion". You can't tell whether a breaking news has been added to one of threads or just some people posting gibberish nonsense or personal attacks against each other. You will only find out after you have visited the thread. This is such a waste of time reading nonsensical stuff that I have no interest in.

It's really pathetic and something must be done please.

I mean scores of members have complained for nearly a year about the process that has become so rigid when starting new threads that it's really annoying, irritating and damn stupid.

It's supposed to be a message board, a defence forum not Kanban, Scrum or Agile. I have enough of that at work that I don't need to spend more time on those types of workflows in my spare time.

Once again, sorry brother @Fatman17.
