Hmmm good point there jer.

I agree. Believe me, as a teacher without much power, it doesn't really help to maintain discipline. I know I thought it was a good idea initially but I suspect it would not work.

I don't suppose anyone has the email addresses of have PMd any of the mods to ask them why they're absent?

Could maybe see if they'd allow someone from here to become a mod if they're not going to be active anymore.

I think that has already been tried though not by me.

I, and several others have tried.

That's quite frustrating, really feels like we've been set adrift.

StarWarsSucks, having read all 3 pages of this thread, not a single comment was made about you specifically. This is about having some measure of control over what is posted here and is far bigger than the petty, self pitying mewlings of an immature teenager.

So kindly shut the **** up before I really lose my temper and prove the very point of this thread.

*finally gives in and uses the "ignore poster" button.*

Oh, and if this rant gets me a warning, then at least we'll have proven that the mods are watching - I'll keep you all informed.
