    I think it would be a good idea to remove the problems and suggestions forum. In its place select a few members of staff or naormal forum members that can deal with and know how to handle certain problems and then let people PM them with problems. Lets face it when there is a problem nowadays all that you get in the replys are people saying PM a Moderator or Admin.

    Make a thread and list all the major problems that a Admin Needs to deal with, a list that a Moderator needs to deal with and then a list that a selected few normal members that know there way around the forum and most problems can deal with

    If we had someone with the energy that could do that whilst remaining sane then we may change the system. Its a good idea in concept, but basically all these people who are going to get PM's are just going to say, pm an admin or whatever.

    New members won't know who to pm so they'll pm everyone. Old members will continue to pm mods and admins so it may as well remain as it is.

    Well i know that i help alot of people out and most people think im a moderator, lol (for the guys reading this who think i am, im not ;) )

    I always reply to the guys who need help, whether it be in here or via a pm, the only time i contact an admin/moderator is when its something that i actually cant deal with.

    I think this is a good idea and it could actually work. :)

    Its more of irony than hypocracy :P

    Anyways, I think it'd be better to just disable forum posts entirly in this forum. Face it, 7/8 response are "PM an Admin/Mod"

    The mass ammounts of PM a mod/admin responses don't mean much as I'm almost sure credit gain is disabled here.
