New sections

[natalie_1982]

A whinging/ ranting section, and a "How many weight watchers points in a block of lard with butter and cream and a side portion of chips and mayonaise?" section.  Try the freaking WeightWatchers site, or putting your hand in your pocket and becoming a member, or not eating so fricking much and often!

 

Sorry to offend but am sick of these WW questions.  And I'm getting a bit bored of everyone moaning to the Ed about whether questions should be deleted or not.  It's his job and there's nowt we can do!  So s/he may lose a few users, but sure enough others will come along and there'll be plenty of other ABankers.

 

Sorry again, I'm moaning about everyone else moaning.........!

I'm not moaning about whether questions should be deleted or not, simply trying to understand what constitutes a "chatty" question. You'll probably get this posting banned as it's not actually a question, and yes there might be a few users lost and you might not care but i like this site and liked it as it was and would be sorry to go - but unless this random banning stops i will, simply because i won't know how to use the site anymore.

And therein lies the nature of the problem, as I see it. Any one user's idea of what this site 'should be' is likely to be different from anyone else's. (That includes me and any member of the staff here as much as any user.) We try to moderate fairly and according to the principles of the site *as we see it*. Also, I'm trying to be responsive and open. But I lose count of the number of times I have to repeat that the site is not about chat, but about questions and answers, and is moderated as such (or a variation on the above.)

When my and my colleagues' work appears to you to be "random" (or any of the choicer descriptions used in the last few days) I'm afraid you may have to accept it as such. Nobody, not you and not me, can please everyone all the time.

Oh natalie, I just have to agree with you about the WW thing!  (can't stop laughing at your rant).

I could eat a shopfull of cream buns & not gain an ounce! 

There, that'll annoy a few of them a bit!!

natalie_1982 - your post/question really made me laugh. I believe the said cake was a fresh cream vanilla slice, which if put in front of me, would have been devoured regardless of the calories! I don't eat cakes that often, but like noddy would have succumbed to that!

Suddenly I've gone off you Noddy!  There's me struggling to get into my party outfit for a do in only 12 days time!!
