Title: No more Customs queries on Home page Post by: K K Iyer on May 10, 2018, 08:24:29 PM @anwar sir,
A couple of years back, when the forum was flooded with sales msgs, you agreed to stop such posts from appearing on the main page. Now we are flooded with queries relating to customs and delivery delays. Can we please have these on a separate board that DOES NOT APPEAR ON THE MAIN PAGE? Queries regarding customs, though doubtless important to the poster, can hardly be of interest to the rest of the members. Unless, of course, I’m totally mistaken, and this is what most readers are interested in! I think that nowadays there are barely 3-4 posts relating to the hobby aspects every day. The rest are all about imports stuck in customs. Kindly consider this plea sympathetically. You may have noticed that many of the active modellers have stopped participating.

The forum is being downgraded to one on Customs, not RC Title: Re: No more Customs queries on Home page Post by: Harish Nagisetty on May 11, 2018, 12:34:12 PM I agree too. In addition, most queries can be answered with 2 mins. of searching the internet or the forum.

Then all the non-RC people will get impatient and start posting in the chatter zone. What's the solution to that?
It's a good idea though. We can ask all the new people to provide a reason for joining. They can only join once approved by a senior. They can be asked to view the customs thread (which will be free to view for guests) as a guest instead.

Only two sales posts and ten related to the hobby. What a relief! |
