Hey listen I'm not saying you guys don't have valid points. I'm just trying to figure out a solution. I just know personally when the mods were here daily, there wasn't a consistency either. So, if anyone else has a solution to making this site run smoother, I'm sure your suggestions are welcomed. But who am I?

Quoting teaschip: But I guess there is this thing called 'tact'. Some people aren't accustomed to. |
I probably appear as the less tolerant person here. Believe me, I m more petient that you can imagine. Actually I m trying to be even more patient, since the beginning of summer when all this mess started. Im not entitled to save TC, I know. But I ve mentioned many times that I ve had too many good moments to remember from this site and so I would like it to continue. I tried many solutions. I stayed away for long. I ignored the forums except from one or two threads. Then I opened a thread, writing my complaints. Then again I shut my mouth up. And now, Im afraid I can't sut up anymore, or sit back and watch all this nonsense.
Read the posts in this page http://www.turkishclass.com/forumTitle_22_7547_8 and tell me what the heck they have to do with turkish movies! I have hundreds of similar examples to put here. And for heavens sake, I m not against fun. I looove fun. But let it be fun. Not a boring conversation that could be easily made in the chatroom. We have a chatroom after all, don't we??
A few months ago, I think it was last winter, Erdinc had blocked all members from writing in the cultural forums. We were protesting for months, begging him to give the forums back to us and we would use them as they deserved. I really wish Erdinc had never fulfilled our wish. At least they would be safe now...

Again, Sophie I'm not at all disputing your frustrations or concerns. I also agree this site has become less structured. How about we suggest incorporating an application process to all new members. They must fill out an application and pass a background & personality check. Also, you must be at least 18 years of age to join.  Not sure how to handle the exsisting members though. Maybe a renewal application every 6 months. What ever the solution is, I don't know or have. Hopefully, however things do change because I would hate to see some of you leave.

Ok,i have an idea,but it won't work unless we all stick to it,
First,we do as Erdiç done before,and post a sticky in each Forum about this,and we may use tough accent as well for it,
We announce that,we won't contribute or share at any thread which is not in its right place,
And for any member who is new or old to stick to that,or else we won't contribute or share in anyone thread which doesn't follow the rules.
We just will shut our mouthes up,not answer,untill this member take the time and the effort,and post the request or the thread in its right place ..
How about that ?
But we must make announcement by this,and make a sticky too in each Forum
So can at least one of the Mods,help us with this ?
Or that too we will have to do ?!
What do you all think ?

If the site would allow a few more moderators, the posts that are in the wrong place could be just moved couldn't they. I'm sure several of you loyal ones here would do that, become moderators.

In an ideal world this would work. But I don't want to be a pessimist and disregard it either. You put alot of thought into this Canli and I am willing to give this a try. I'm not sure how long it will last, but what the heck. Since, this was your idea why don't you send the admin a request here. If it would help even a petition you could start as a topic, then send it to the admin backing up the cause.

Well teaschip,i hope it work,because i don't think we have much to do really,specially Modes are a bit busy,and they are the one who have the authority to set things up,
İ already sent to admin this thread link,so he can read that we are helpless here,but trying,
İ hope he would help .
İ guess,or i don't know,but shouldn't admin,and Modes know what is going on here,that we don't need to gather things up to send to them ?
İ guess they follow things here too,but maybe a little busy to take an action right away,hoping they will do in a bit .
Btw,is it ok to discuss this on this thread ?
All those thought for 2 pennies only ??lol 
Seriously now,i will open a new thread at here,called TC ,and we can discuss everything about the site there .
İ will copy and past that idea,so people can see it too,maybe it will work out.
You cross your fingers,and i will raise my 2 hands for doa'praying' ..lol

That's exactly what I was thinking when Teaschip asked for solutions. I know that it will be a hell of a job for the one who will offer to do it, but it would be the most useful thing for now. We have to "clean" all the forums except from the off topic and a maid  is needed urgently!

Canli this is a great idea, although I have doubts that it will work. However, I m ready to give it a try. We ll never know unless we try it, right?
Sooooo I won't be mean again, when I ll see a stupid post in the wrong thread, or a stupid thread in the wrong forum. I promise to be a saint with the mouth SHUT!

Is the real issue just that some posts are in the wrong place - or is it more the content of those posts???

It's both. And the worst of all, is the wrong threads in the forums that are supposed to be about Turkia and it's culture. Nobody complains about the off topics. There is our playground. But let's keep the fun there.
