    Just looking at the How did you score thread...
    Any point having 2 of these threads?
    One for good golfers and one for the rest of us :D

    Nothing worse than jumping on the thread to say how delighted you are with today's 89 only for someone to put up a post 2 mins later about their disaster of a 72.....:D:o

    Only messing with this post by the way!

    For the good golfers out there, please show some consideration for the rest of us :D

    Would it be better to have some kind of a score card template where everybody would use it to post their scores and a seperate thread for lads to gloat/moan on their rounds,conditions of courses and whatnot and general banter?
    Would stop having to sift through the whole lot of garbage(myself included) posted in that thread and see at first glance fellow posters' scores.

    Just a bit of a joke , was a long one :P

    All joking aside - I did not know that the thread was just scores - so worth a reminder - I had a thread for my scores , long story that :o

    But, if that is what people want - worth reminding them, as I was just seeing long details by some others.

    So just score then (if that is what people want?)

    I don't want to nip the good vibe in the bud over there at all, just wondering would a seperate banter thread for the scores be even better.

    It may have been last years thread but people were asked to post:

    Course
    Handicap
    Comp/Casual
    Gross Score/Stableford etc
    FW'S
    GREEN'S
    PUTTS
    Other relevant stats

    Something like this, would need to do some digging.........

    +1 there myself, it was only suggested that way to make things easier for people to read. TBH some of the crap is completely irrelevant to the round in some cases but tis grand.

    Yes, but the conditions , how the person was feeling , their general demeanor, how they are going with their game. It is not captured anywhere else.

    I guess that is taste , and some people just want numbers. Not flowery bull****.

    My personal preference would be to allow the original poster to post a bit more than just the bare stats.
    Where I think it starts to lose something is when others start to ask questions and the thread goes of on a bit of a solo run for a while.

    Perhaps a second thread to talk about the scores?
    A bit like they do with a lot of the Photo threads in AH.

    How about a thread like - How Is Your Game ? (scores or anything about your game)

    It will help us build up the story of the poster ?

    The European tour is always going to be the poor cousin of the PGA.

    Also I notice you didnt bother to make a new thread yourself...

    Fair enough I'll start a thread in a few days about the World Golf Championships in Firestone.

    To me it just feels that the quality of players/posters on the golf forum has gone down in the past year however maybe stats have gone up. If you looked back three years ago you had the likes of lads listed below (i'm sure there's others too) who offered great advice and experience but they dont seem to post much or not at all these days. While other knowledgeable golf posters dont seems to be on here as much.

    Graeme1982

    Liskey
    LOFT

    Before I get shouted at this isnt aimed at any moderator! Just my 2cent.

    Moved from unrelated thread.


    Graeme1982 = Mister Sifter banned for persistent trolling
    Mag = 15 posts in the last 2 weeks, pretty darn active!
    Lisky = Phillip Marlowe, seems to be pretty much taking a break from posting on boards.ie in general
    LOFT = Dunno where LOFT has gone tbh.
    Shrieking Sheet = Posting in the forum over the last few weeks

    Besides the above, Im not sure what feedback you are trying to give....why do you think posters have gone away?
    surely not because of the Epic European thread?

    Personally speaking - I've stopped posting here and browsing the forum in general because I don't like Greebo's moderation.

    Any opinion that differs from his in relation to the forum is "wrong" and as such the forum will only ever be set in the way that he wants it to be.

    Honest answer to a question on the feedback thread - so I would expect that this post is not deleted.

    (Unlike others in the past that queried the same topic).

    I was posting here a lot a few months ago after I was firmly bitten by the golf bug but as said above the moderation by GreeBo is ruining any enjoyment I used to get from the forum.
    Any thread he posts in automatically changes to what he wants from it and on occasion that can include dragging it wildly off topic or descending into childish snipes. But God forbid someone else do the same.
    Look at the Shane Lowrey thread during the Irish open where a poster was yellow carded for saying he had a bet on Shane. It was crazy stuff. And before people think I'm having a pop because I got a weeks ban for some posts in that thread, my ban was justified but I felt what I said needed to be said at the time.
    I've pm'd another mod of this forum regarding my concerns about what should be a very active forum dying off because of one person but have received no response said yet.
    I know that this shouldn't turn into a witch hunt against GeeBo who I'm sure is a sound lad but surely if it benefits the forum his moderation rights should be taken away

    A bit weird that you noticed an update to the Feedback thread within a couple of days for a forum you no longer browse?

    Please PM me (or any mod) if you have concerns about posts being deleted.

    A poster was warned for a breach of the charter.
    Whats the point in having a charter if we just ignore it?

    I've said this before, but a lot of the newer members havent witnessed what this forum had deteriorated to before the moderation became a bit more strict.

    All we do now is follow the charter and there is a reason for this; if you dont stick pretty rigidly to it people, being people, will push the boundaries and you end up having to infract someone and not someone else, without anything to back up the difference in decision.

    Overall, this is a fun threat, with some great threads on it.
    But if i could recommend a new sticky thread it would be Beginners thread.
    I myself have and will be asking stupid beginner questions in the past. So instead of beginners asking a question that has been answered several times before. If it was all in same thread would be of great help and knowledge to others.
    On a seperate note, i too am not impressed with Greebos moderation. I find him very quick to have a smart ass answer for members.

    I dont think GreeBo has been very active as mod much lately.

    Overall it is a tough job and he does a great Job. Dont know how he stays at it.

    I think people get a bit tired of the forum and leave. New people come along. It is like the way people went from Bebo to fb to whatsapp to PIE to boards to twitter. Such is the internet. I wouldnt be reading too much into some people leaving.

    The internet does not have the type of moderation that is on here, but the internet is a mess. So when people come on ,they are not use to and some dont like the control exerted here.

    But, that is what makes this forum different to the normal freedom of the net.

    YouTube comments are hilarious in their sheer ridiculousness though, Pitch... Was looking at Bruno Mars' Michael Jackson-esque video for his song 'Treasure' the other day, and the latest comment underneath was "please don't let this one turn white" !! :D:D:D

    If GreeBo was mod on YouTube the web or interweb or beam me up scotty (whatever it is now called) would crash.

    The point I'm making is , the internet is full of just acting the bollox. This forum tries to be an honest debate with room for a bit of a joke.

    But 90% on here , are here for very serious talk about golf and their golf. I'm one of the 10 % , GreeBo is right to try keep the tone for the 90 %. He will upset me and others in his style. But, people if they are around here enough understand his goals.

    He debates to the death too much, but we know that too.

    But fair ****s to him, if i was a mod the place would be like the Dail with a late night bar. Oh **** - that does happen in real life.........

    Not really sure what peoples problem is here. I think this forum runs fine and is pretty well moded.
    A mod arguing a point strongly seems to get peoples backs up though (in golf and other forums), but that seems unreasonable to me. If an ordinary poster were making the same posts they wouldnt get half the stick. Nor can I say I have seen any change to the forum in recent time, and have been following here for about 7 years. (I would have different comments for a few other boards forums btw....).

    ^^^^
    That was pretty much my view about 12 months ago.

    I've gone to the dark/Greebos side now...It'll always be the dark side but I'm here now, I'm a fan ;)

    Re The Irish Open/Shane Lowry point....someone posted just towards the end of The Open something like "Can't wait till all the Crazies have gone" and this is so true around busy periods (Majors, Irish Open, Some big golfing scandal etc) .
    The forum is flooded with lads the aren't aware of how the forum is run, and by and large, Crazies is a good term for a lot of them.
    Mod's must dread these busy periods, they need to be on the ball to keep things in order, and if it means cracking down a bit more and quicker than they usually do, then that's absolutely fine with me.

    I think its been suggested before, and there are similar threads in other sports/fitness sections of the boards community, but is there any room for a "Training Log" of sorts. Where individual posters can have their own thread talking about what they're practicing, what those results are, and how its impacting on their own game.

    I know we have a few separate threads like Tin_Cups, which i enjoy his blog and i think FixedPitchmark had one for a while, but if there was a way to have all these in their own sub forum, i think it would be of benefit.

    On one hand it'd be a kick up the ass for the thread owner, "i haven't updated it in ages", "i better practice a little harder", and on the other hand it would save users of the forum having to sift through threads that they don't generally want to see. I'd imagine people with the same abilities or goals would gravitate together and share ideas.

    It's just a way to have a blog, without having to open a blog and worry about finding readers. And hey, if no one reads your own training log, at least its a good for yourself to get it down on paper/d'interweb.

    The feedback is much appreciated.

    Regarding making a few more stickies - unfortunately we are not allowed to have too many of them as they have an impact when the site is viewed in mobile version (I.e on an mobile phone or tablet) so we have to restrict them to 4 or 5. Popular threads will always tend to be near the top but like all forums if something is not discussed in a day or two its not long before its on the second or third page.

    I think its been suggested before, and there are similar threads in other sports/fitness sections of the boards community, but is there any room for a "Training Log" of sorts. Where individual posters can have their own thread talking about what they're practicing, what those results are, and how its impacting on their own game.

    I know we have a few separate threads like Tin_Cups, which i enjoy his blog and i think FixedPitchmark had one for a while, but if there was a way to have all these in their own sub forum, i think it would be of benefit.

    On one hand it'd be a kick up the ass for the thread owner, "i haven't updated it in ages", "i better practice a little harder", and on the other hand it would save users of the forum having to sift through threads that they don't generally want to see. I'd imagine people with the same abilities or goals would gravitate together and share ideas.

    It's just a way to have a blog, without having to open a blog and worry about finding readers. And hey, if no one reads your own training log, at least its a good for yourself to get it down on paper/d'interweb.


    There is a sub-forum request already outstanding here so if you like this idea, please comment on thread and it might get approved.

    This isnt something the mods have control over, its an admin level decision, so support it if you want it!

    On the Greebo question - one thing people need to do IMHO opinion is separate Greebo the moderator from Greebo the avg Joe poster.

    As a poster he is entitled to his opinion just like everyone else. The fact that he is a moderator should be irrelevant here and if he breaches the charter he should be dealt with just like everyone else

    As a moderator his job is to enforce the charter without fear or favour.

    I bring up this point as sometimes I think the distinction is lost. People disagree with his opinions and the way he expresses them and that is their right. But his opinion is not more or less important than anyone elses.

    if a decision is made based on an opinion (subjective call in other words) in his role as a mod and you disagree then there are channels to handle that

    This post is not making judgement calls on him in either guise, just pointing out that they need to be separated to make a coherent argument

    So was mentioned to me yesterday that every week you have someone else coming on the forum and putting up a new thread about a different rules question where more often than not the question has already been covered in a another thread.

    What would peoples opinions on a rules thread be? Whereby any rules questions would be within this thread that could be stickied or more than likely will be at the top of the listings anyway?
