MartinN,

My only advice for you is :

DO NOT make that dingbat Nicole a moderator !!!

would be a big mistake......:eek:
Dingbat? wtf? I dont even want to be a mod, I am responsible why most threads go off-topic, I dont think it would be clever for me to be a mod, you so know I'd abuse that power :D

Nathell, whats your take on members that dont like juve or football or anything else that involves effort. Only signed up in the first place to stalk a guy, brought her friends here who in turn either pissed so many of they had to leave or got themselves banned for being a cop hating anti-american/jock and is only posting here now to deliberately antaganize members and derail threads or create useless ones? 95% of which are closed within a week.
If they don't like Juve they can go post at some other forum, if they start bashing the team and players I mean. If they don't like football I have no problem with them posting anyway, they could stay in the hangout if they like the forum and its members. It's not like the forum is reserved for football fans only.

To our New Owner, Martin II....welcome my friend.

I think you have been bombarded with enough questions here, and most issues have already been covered, so I will take it easy on you. ;)

It sounds like the forum will be redesigned just a bit, and that's good to hear because the layout we have now is a bit dull IMO. I have not read anything about changing the forums around or creating new ones, so if you have plans to do so please tell us.

It seems like the biggest issue around here at the moment is the moderation "problem," and I concur that something needs to be done about the use of foul language and insulting posts, more so than before.

I also have a BIG problem with some members insulting our own players during matches in the respective match forum. We are all Juventus supporters here (well, most of us) and to think one of our fans would have so much disrespect towards some of our players makes me question who they are really cheering for. Player abuse has been a huge problem in the past and we need to have tough moderation against these supposed "fans" who like to insult our players if they are having a bad match or what have you. There are always many visitors who visit the forum during matchdays, and it's not good publicity to let our members insult our players.

Those are my biggest issues, and hopefully we can resolve this matter; shouldn't be too hard.

But as I was saying I like your responses thus far, and hopefully there will be a bright future ahead of us, as corny as it sounds. :D
Thanks Andy. :)

The forum will have to be redesigned, vBulletin 3 by default looks very different. There might be multiple forum designs for our members to pick from.

I have no plans for adding or removing existing forums.

People who insult our players may get a nice little temp ban so they'll learn to behave. I've noticed this problem a lot during my lurking days, I do not approve.

Like I answered before, I think cursing looks bad at a forum. People who can't opiniate themselves without cursing should grab a dictionary or take some classes.

I'm not sure if you guys have a "Staff Board" but if there isn't, that's a first priority to setup, so the forum team can share ideas.

There will be a transition period before I get to make some changes, from what I recall it will be around the 27th. Until then I'm just a regular member. :)

/me waves to vampireuk :D

Your new to do list.

The current mod system is shit and the mods are rubbish (no offence). Moderation status should be more than a job. Who cares if a moderator never closes a thread, about 2 threads are moved a week and some closed (hardly matters if they aren't and infact I see no reason why any thread should closed in the first place. Can we not govern ourselves? Moderators are for deciding who goes and who stays, what happens to the future of the site and give new ideas etc. Moderator should be something that is rewarded to members who deserve it and moderators should represent the community. Who are the current moderators? See they are so crap I can only think of Graham and Tom who isnt even a mod now but still has the title because Martin starting hating the site so much he couldnt put aside the 4seconds it takes to change his status.

You bought the site, you dont have to have a transition period. Do what you want and do it right away.

Upgrade the fvcking forum from this antique crap. Make the avatars 100x100 immediately, take away the 60second rule (that's just a little status thing Martin had).

Create multple forum templates and give members the option to choose. Why can we not decide the visual style of the forum we view? We could have 10 templates, a choice of colour, a more personal and changable system. The feature is there, use it. Again that was never given because of Martins control kink.

Do not give Muscle a moderator title as a sympathy vote, he hasnt deserved it and is only known because he was so public in trying to buy the site, before that he wasnt noticed.

Unban the members that Martin unfairly banned in the first place. They have not broken the listed rules or your rules.

Remove the hundreds of copyright tags and next time next time a representative from Juventus FC call you up to bitch about it, tell them to go fvck themselves in the ass. If their website wasnt so shit in the first place noone would even come here and noone, not once has claimed this is anything near offical. If they could take competition like its supposed to be taken and thus improve their own site the web would be a better place. The site is whored by corporate Juventus so much it makes me embarassed to post.

Instead of having a bunch of pissy mods that are proper shit and do nothing and were only chosen because Martin can see his boring self in them. Have the following members take immediate control of moderation at Juventuz.

IncuboRossonero.
Shadowfax.
Zlatan.
Jaecole/Nicole
Swag.
Azzurri7.

Thats a representive of each what we have here. Thats a fair and well chosen moderator list. A list that represents the community.

You will lose and already have lost some great members because they have had noone to represent them, to make their issues and concearns known and to do something about it. Again I can only take another shot at the half assed, useless and frankly boring waste of space moderators we currenly have.

Thankyou.
And yet you continue to grace us with your presence and remind us of your class with posts like this one.

Let me walk you to the door so you don't get lost on the way.

    Please take general discussions and cat fights elsewhere, this thread is for asking me questions only.
    Theres not a thread on this forum that has ever stayed on topic... Why would it be any different here... Though having said that, pretty much every post here has either been asking you something or responding to what you've said

    Also a little point... I started this thread, not you

    Very well. But it's difficult trying to answer questions when you have to read through 10 pages. ;)

    I'm not trying to claim this thread as my own, but I'm kind of involved.

    I was just trying to make it a bit easier for me to answer.

    I don't see what you're trying to say. I don't claim I write perfect english all the time, but it's quite understandable and I don't have to curse. ;)

    I wanna ask something, are you going to change the "off-topic" culture of this place, I hate website where as soon as a thread goes off-topic even slightly it is locked...dont change that!

    Thats ok... Im jus pointing it out... You have to learn the way this place tends tobe sometime... It is annoying though.

    I'm not trying to claim this thread as my own, but I'm kind of involved.

    I was just trying to make it a bit easier for me to answer.
    I made the thread to help you, but you had to figure it would go like this... every member is interested in this and wants to have their say , their questions, their responses to your answers and to others answers..... Personally i think your very lucky so far this thread has gone so smoothly... but yes its hard to see where you are
