On a serious note, has anyone read the news today? On the Daily Mail site, there is an article about a 17 year old girl stoned to death for fancying a boy from the wrong religion. I thought we were supposed to be a step above the animals. Stories like these make me feel ashamed to be a member of the humsn race

Hence my reasoning for becoming an athiest

And how does one become a 'senior Forum member'? :roll:

Jesus, I feel like I've become a hate figure on here now and it's almost like I'm being goaded into making responses. Remember, I experienced this Forum stalking, bizarre quoting and piss taking a few months ago?

No, I haven't experienced a sudden sense of humour meltdown but I do support the previous comments I made elsewhere - and will add my own elaborations - that the Forums have now become less of a help and advice centre and more of a juvenile chatroom. The Off Topic Forum is now the most heavily subscribed Forum and less and less reponses are being posted towards answering serious questions and helping others on any of the other Forums.

But to answer the above question, I believe you become a 'senior poster' by posting serious answers and genuinely trying to help other students and I'm afraid that randomly posting flippant comments that explain little and mean even less are anything but 'senior'.

From the more than 800 posts I've contributed, I'd estimate probably a good quarter to third of those were serious responses trying to help others. Gone seem to be the days when a genuine request for help or question was met with a multitude of geuine answers - now many seem to go for days without any responses at all.

Yeah, I guess that if my time on the Forums is maybe coming to an end then so be it.

Re:Study Buddy

Rob,
I have found the forums are actually a great way of retaining knowledge, as I havent been studying since Christmas, since I finished, it is easy to let things slip your mind.
I still make the effort to go into the other topics, dont know about others. :shock:

Re:Study Buddy


I think, Robert, that the quality of posts has deteriorated because of the problems with the website.

People don't necessarily use the forum in the same way as they did 6 months or a year ago.

Your comments often seem to be taken out of context and that's a shame.

I know from our emails that you do have a sense of humour and are not quite the person you might appear to be.

Your comment about senior forum members ruffled a few feathers - not just with us buddies - but with some of those you might consider as being 'senior'.

There's no hierachy here - just a lot of daft people with keyboard skills.

you can say that again


I agree with Helen, Robert. This thread is purely for letting off steam and having a laugh.
On the rest of the Forum we do try to answer as many queries as we feel competent enough to answer, some of us have even been known to give the wrong answer and get corrected. If we are flippant, then so be it. If you were to attend my college and see the way that we act in the classroom, you would think that you had returned to kindergarden.

We all learn from the postings. If you look at accountingweb you will find a lot of flippant answers there, just to prove that accountants don't sit around all day with their heads somewhere unpleasant.
The moral is....unwind and have a laugh in this thread and help people in the serious threads.
After all, live is too short to be serious every minute

Oh yeah, how's the teddy hunt going? Done your article yet?

Had my first assignment back from the tutor today. He says I have a 'light touch'!

Going to be working on the teddy story over the weekend. Although it might morph into something completely different!
