I want this board to be a place that serves the needs of its members.

Please don't hesitate to make suggestions on how to make Aussie Stock Forums a better and more enjoyable place for all!

Thanks!

Be quick to stomp on trolls!

Slanging matches can really cruel a board. I notice one troll (who has a histroy of making trouble) recently got banned which is good to see.

I agree with you completely.

I do tend to give people a second chance - and very occasionally a third - because sometimes, given the opportunity, people change their attitude and abide by the board rules. I don't want to have to rule these forums with an iron fist.

However, let me assure you that troublemakers like The Mortage Adviser will be shown the door as soon as I establish that they are just going to continue trolling.

G'day Joe,

I think you're doing an excellent job, unfortunately it seems that as you get more members you will inevitably attract a few more "undesirables".

But that's just life.

There's some excellent discussions here, I know it's really made me think more about how I do things.

Rod.

Hi Joe,
You're doing a great job and I think the members are also doing their bit to keep people honest. I especially appreciate Stefan's efforts in the past for keeping a balance.

The main point is you keep an eye on things so it's great to see you being proactive (starting this thread is a great example of your concern).

My only gripe is that sometimes things get personal and name calling starts (or thinly veiled expletives)- I don't think that should be tolerated, no matter whom it comes from or what the status of the offender is. Everyone here respects you so I'm sure anything you say will be considered seriously.

Keep up the good work, it will get tougher as the months go by but we'll support you!

G'day Joe

When you first log onto the site you are shown the most recent posts.

If you select the most recent and then when finished reading it (them) and go to [previous thread] you stay in the same forum (i.e. ASX Stock Chat etc).

I was wondering if when you press [previous thread] you went to the next most recent thread as shown on the initial page (even if it was in another forum).

This would only occur when you first entered the site (otherwise to current system of staying in the same forum).

That way you can read all the most recent posts in all forums - that's what I like doing anyway!!

Hope that all made sense Joe.

Hi Dutchie!

Instead of clicking 'Previous Thread', click 'Home' down the bottom of the page (next to 'Contact Us'). That will take you back to the front page where you can continue to work your way through the newest threads/posts list.

Hope that solves your problem!

I mentioned in this thread (https://www.aussiestockforums.com/forums/showthread.php?p=6740#post6740) at post #23 that may be we could have some basic info on BB tags and editing in the FAQ.

Also, is it possible to have a link from the Tipping comp leader board page back to the forum home page? Thanks.

RichKid,

I must have missed your post.

Info on bbcode can be found here: https://www.aussiestockforums.com/help/bb-codes

I will put a link to the Forum home page up on the Stock Tipping Competition page at some point over the next few days! Promise!

Joe! You're too good, I couldn't find the code help the first time I looked, I must have been in a rush. Thanks also for working on the link. Now if my pick can stay near the top I may end up checking the leaderboard more often...

 

[crocdee]

hi joe
now that the tipping comp has been running for awhile, could we have a continuing board where the winners and runner up are listed.
that way it would be easy to see who has won inthe past and who perhaps our best tippers are.

winner runner up
october fred harry
november etc

just a thought it might be better to keep the thread site free from postings
as it may clutter the site.

regards croc

 

[RichKid]

Yes, great idea Croc, I mentioned earlier that we could do some statistical analysis too but we can leave that for later, I'll see if I can help out over the next few months but we may need someone who knows the coding (Stefan? but he's gone). A closed/locked thread would be good so only Joe can post. Maybe Joe can just paste the table as of the last day of each comp.

 

[RichKid]

Also, about the comp, have we finalised the rules yet about entry deadline (ie midnight on the day before the markets open for the new month) or is it midnight on last day of previous month?

 

[ghotib]

Is it practical / desirable to run more than one competition, maybe over different time periods or with different criteria?

I guess best divvie and the best overall return over 6 months would be too slow for a competition?

Dunno. I guess I'm looking for more ways to test my thinking.

Thanks Joe,

Ghoti (having a vague day)

 

[stefan]

(Stefan? but he's gone).

I'm still here . Just not as active as I would like to be. I've even been thinking about the tipping page and what sort of improvements one could add. The day has 24 hrs and if that's not enough you can always stay up late

Keep posting and I keep reading. Will have a chat with Joe about it later on.

Happy trading

Stefan

Good to see you've still been lurking, Stefan!

Hope everything is going well!

PS I was hoping you'd win last months competiton but you got pipped at the post by Bingo!

D'oh!

 

[money tree]

I have a suggestion

why not have a few moderators instead of one

 

[Joe Blow]

I agree.

Hopefully, we'll have another one shortly.

 

[doctorj]

As the numbers that frequent this forum swells, you're likely to notice an increase in negatives such as spamming, abuse and flames. I'd hope part of the plan to expand the number of moderators is coupled with a willingness to continue to come down hard on people that seek to persue personal differences on these boards.

 

[Joe Blow]

Just thought I'd bump this thread in case anyone had any more suggestions.

I'm always looking for feedback on how to make ASF more enjoyable for everyone, so please feel free to post any suggestions you may have in this thread..

All feedback is greatly appreciated.
