I have just read this thread and to be honest I feel there is a decline in the quality of the content. I don't understand why there is a need for people to post unrelated and meaningless comments?
In the past as a Mod we were always looking for slanderous comments about manufacturers/suppliers etc....and the odd person who overstepped the mark.
Nowadays, I find myself reading a thread where to be honest I could cut the input down by 40% as the post is not related or going off topic.
We have a section that people can use for talking about whatever they want but on this section it should be relevant to window cleaning ONLY!
Perhaps instead of people asking for more mods, stating a decline in the forum maybe the next time a post is written the author would ask himself: is this relevant (REALLY!) and am I going Off topic? At least this way we can try to rebuild the forum back to its best and get rid of the meaningless posting I often find.
If people looked closer to home then both Ian and myself would find moderating as it was before, a whole lot easier!
