Sorry, posted the links incorrectly
This is not meant to say that there is anything at all wrong with the questions below and I mean no disrespect to the posters of the questions. It is just an example to show how inconsistent this site has become.

Fakeplastic confirms that s/he is "only human". Respectfully, so am I. I cannot be everywhere at once, for example. This site is quite busy, and the moderation of it time-consuming. I'll try my hardest to be what you want me to be from now on.
In the meantime, 'chatty' questions will be removed because they are not what this site is about.
Your opinions as to what makes the site 'boring' or otherwise are read with interest, and compared with those of other users who email me directly.
AB Ed - I do not wish to get into any slanging matches with you, or anyone else on this site, mainly because I enjoy AB & do realise that you could ban me at the drop of a hat!
However, I did not say the site was boring, I merely expressed that some questions on AB, do encourage a little bit of light hearted, friendly chat.
I just felt the need to clarify that. Cheers, smudge.
Respectfully:
smudge: re your definition of 'boring'. This site is not a chat site. If you or anyone finds that boring, so be it.
splodge24, there are going to be times when you see a question before I do. Please bear this in mind. It means that you might actually see content that hasn't been moderated.
Greedyfly: I find myself writing the same things in emails to the same people. That's one of the reasons I'm having to restrict the amount of emails I send. If that means the same people continue to have the same problems, it does not follow of necessity that the entire site is going to change just for them! The site evolves, and we try to listen to *all* users, not just the ones who use this public forum to discuss things!
This links up with your comments about it looking "unfair on some". There appears to be a sense in a handful of users that they are being picked on. Respectfully, I can confirm that this is not the case.
Now: on with the job of moderating the site.
