Incidentally when Bootie's not here, he asks me to keep an eye on the shop (put the cat out, run the mop over the floor, flick a duster over the mantelpiece etc) and do general FGM housekeeping duties such as moving old irrelevant posts to the Storage Section out of sight in the FGM back room so they don't clutter the forums up.
For example if Charlie or Harry posted asking for opponents weeks ago and got some replies, i storage the posts because they've now become dead wood and there's no reason for them to stay up.
I also storage potentially explosive posts about religion, politics and member disputes etc to keep the peace; heck I even sometimes storage my own posts because I've been as guilty as anybody in the past!
We don't
totally ban all mention of religion and politics, we can't do that because we're a military discussion club, and as religion and politics are often closely bound up with wars and conflicts we can't just airbrush them out and pretend they don't exist, but what Bootie and me
can do is Storage such posts if they might start trouble, and not let them run on out of control as we've done in the past.
2011 is therefore going to be a lot more peaceful..
Incidentally, Storaging a post doesn't mean it's deleted, your post count
won't drop and it will still count towards promotion.
Also, if at any time you notice a post of yours has vanished and you can't understand why, just contact me (or go over my head to Bootie, I don't mind) and we'll explain.
And if you don't agree with it being storaged, just lodge an appeal and if we change our minds we'll re-post it back in the forum for you.
