Oh right well I am not far off twice your age, I guessed cause you'd been in the army, you were older was it the one year national service in Israel then 😄

it was 2.5 years....in the army....and my son was born about 6 months ago

Hey thats cool, So your getting a lot of sleepless nights at the mo😄. Was it the national service thing they do in israel, I had a pal who went out there young on a kibutz (is that how its spelt) he married a girl there and had to do national service.

it wasent exaclty national service...i was stationed in south lebanon with the air force....and me and the girl split up....so she has the kid...in israel....the ***** got full custody....just becasue she is 28

Thats shit man, really sad, I had been with my partner eight years fortunately no kids, so I don't have that to upset me. Do you see your son much

yeah it does, i dont see my son....much, becasue she didnt tell me she was pregnent when i left to the US....and when she gave birth, she put father unknown....and eliminated any rights i have as a father... 🙁

Thats horrible, sadly its an all to familiar story, some girls really don't realise that fathers should have rights to. The world is very unfair to men as regards to custody rights. I hope she will alloww him to know you as he gets older.

thanx, man i hope so 2....

Take care C17 I'm going go offline for a while, speak soon mate

thanx man, take care of ur self 2, bye

I'm actually incredibly new on this forum, however not new to forums in general. been a member of a few message boards since 2002, www.wizards.com being one of them, member of another forum www.dykal.net basically since it began in the end of 2003, been a moderator on those boards as well for a time, have been a ROOT Admin on two separate forums, etc. etc.
I've seen dozens of flame wars, hundreds of troll posts, and literally thousands of spam posts. And i can tell you most of that stuff can only lead to harm for the forum as a whole. However, when a member is new to a forum, he/she will generally want to make him/herself known to the others. The way they go about this is either the civil way, by making qualitative posts, or the nice ol' spammy way.
Trying to prove their worth and aching for some acceptance some of these new posters are not willing to wait till people know them. However, i have to disagree with some of the points made on this thread.
There is a chance that a new poster CAN make quality threads in a large quantity. Though i haven't seen that here yet, you SHOULDN'T judge a guy by the number of threads/posts he's made in the x amount of time, since you can't really have seen them all. But yeah, if he's made 100 threads intwo days and you've read 50 of them and seen they're full of crap, you have a point.

the first suggestion i saw that caught my eye was the one involving the script that would allow only about 1 thread per 50 or so posts. However, that's not very fair and can lead to either people spamming in order to get the needed post count, or simply create alts (new screen names) which he/she would use only to create threads.

the only acceptable sollution i see are indeed sub-mods. Now all that's needed is for Paola or Tron to chose a few.

ps: i'm not sure if i'm salted/unsalted (see lord, i remembered 😉 ). All i know is that even though i might lose my temper from time to time, or even post incomprehensible garbage, i respect the forum and have moderate respect for most of the users here.

no, basically i'm saying that in all that time on message boards, while active and so on, i've seen this crap happen over and over again and wouldn't like to see it happening here.

~wickerman~

got u

i have to say though this is a pretty tame forum most people are pretty tolerant and even the arseholes are not that bad (Me and my biggest critic included), to be honest i don"t think extra mods are really needed you go to most forums its a hell of a lot worse that this.

Anyonewho wants to be a mod really shouldn't be allowed 🙂 The new mods should be approached and asked by Paola.

😄 And I was only joking about being fit to do it myself, I would not be😄 I like my fun to much 😄

That isn't even that much relevant. What's more relevant is their level of maturity.
