    Hi All,

    There's lots of new threads being started duplicating existing topics.

    We've thus enabled thread moderation, this means new threads won't appear until approved.

    Threads will only be approved if they won't fit in an existing topic.

    Please don't start a new topic unless it merits a new thread.

    We'll remove this asap.

    Thanks,

    Matt

    Hi Everyone,

    Due to the volume of duplicate threads being created we've temporarily enabled Thread moderation.

    If you want to start a new thread:

    1. CHECK to see if your post could sit in an existing topic. 90% of the time IT REALLY COULD.

    2. If it's a stunning, original, mustn't miss, definitely a new thread, then please double check point one, even these could be part of an existing discussion.

    3. If you're still sure, go ahead and post the new thread. It won't appear until approved by a moderator, if that doesn't happen post a request here.

    We know this isn't an ideal solution and as soon as we can we'll remove it. The only reason its there is to protect discussions from being forced off the page by duplicate threads. We want a good choice of topics on the page and in an ideal world, users would consider others and use an existing topic where available...

    Matt
