As one of the acting moderators, I figured I'd step in and make note of a couple changes you may have noticed.
The following forums have been removed:
- Secret Santa
- Trader comments
- Bombs away
The first one should be pretty obvious why it was done - but a lot of members may wonder why the Trader Comments & Bombs Away forums have disappeared. I sure someone more eliquent and well-spoken then me could say it nicely - but to bottom-line it for you, these forums were being abused. No one would post anything but glowing comments on anyone they traded with and it was getting ot the point where all a newbie had to do was send out a couple of packages and they were considered to be an honest member in good standing by all.
Now, I'm not saying that 95% of all newbies aren't 100% geniune, and sure it's nice to make a public note of a successful trade - but these forums were just starting to get out of hand.
Rod & the moderating team are starting to come up with some good ideas for ways to make CP a better place for everyone. This was just the beginning.
Thanks!
Dave
