ah now Ian calm yourself me oul mucker !!
You got some information there but not the full picture. As Ive explained to you already, I cannot comment on the forum about individuals..how can i do that for heavens sake.
There were 10 people excluded the other day and all good people I'm sure, but of course thats not the issue for doverforum. This is our normal practice for non-posters, our policy is no secret and that was the reason for example why I made yet another thread on it all...to keep people fully informed. I cannot comment further but let me just say this, I have lots more information and when you have literally hundreds of logins per individual... times, dates, of these logins, times dates of logoffs etc., and all resulting in no posting showing on the technical information system here, then you get the gist.
This is what we generally base our exclusions on..we dont have anything against any of the individuals personally, but thats how the system works. If your reading shows as zero on the readometer then.. we make way for someone else. Many of the guys now posting were able to do so because we do this system.
It's easy to blame doverforum for everything but surely it is down to the individual in all cases to maintain their membership. We may have an automated system shortly which will automatically exclude, so it is the responsibilty of the individual more than ever to maintain their membership. I used to write to all people before in previous times but it became impossible to do, we just cant manage all the work involved so more than ever its the responsibility of the individual. It is as fair as we can make it.
