Hey moderators -- too many announcements?

LaRea

Some of the sticky "announcements" that appear at the top of the list may have outlived their usefulness.  Maybe the moderators should consider changing the following posts from announcements back into normal messages:

Coming SOON!
RINKER @ MIAMI INTERNATIONAL BOAT SHOW & YACHTS MIAMI BEACH 2017
Rinker Welcomes Dealers and Public to Open House
New Rinker QX26 to be on the Cover of Boating Magazine - Here is a link to the Article

I doubt anybody wants to remove stuff that our buddy Steve W posted, but I don't think he intended them to be permanent.  Ten stickies seems like too many.

I agree a little to many

Plus 1.  It's time to part ways with these.

It's funny, I was just thinking the same thing yesterday.  Tired of having to scroll down every time I access the site.  Let me see what I can do.

To tell you the truth I do not see what the big deal is but I took care of it and cut the list down........

Get rid Of the 370 and coming soon threads

We should make the "Hey moderators -- too many announcements?" thread a sticky. Lol

Thanks Raybo.  You are saving me over 0.3 seconds per visit!  Since I visit about 1000 times a day, it adds up.

Likewise, it is still there.

Dream only removes my posts not anyone elses  LOL

Way better. I think the 4 that are left are great, three are used regularly and the "Coming Soon" is a good spot to watch for any updates/announcements from the mother ship, whenever they may occur.

Since you were banned once, you should try to be more upbeat.

OK guys this thread has gotten out of hand. #1 we as moderators (Me Dream Inn and MVN) are not paid for doing what we do. Rinker owns and pays for this forum. I can only speak for myself here but I put a real lot of time into doing what I do for this forum. I check the spam "folder" every time I am on. I correct spelling when I can and I get emails from Vanilla about different other things. The only "reward" I get is knowing the forum will be there day after day and not close down like the old RBO. Now with that said it is not the responsibility of the moderators to "denounce" or remove any posts or announcements posted by Rinker. They are using this forum for potential customers as well as current owners. If they want a post removed we just let them remove it. If someone has a problem with a post from Rinker then send a moderator a PM and then we will deal with it. Other than that enjoy the forum and Happy and Safe Boating to ALL brothers and sisters of the RBOC!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well put Raybo!

Posted a nude selfie from the swim platform of his Rinker !?!?!? 

Handymans342

It just has to show that way when you leave the forum. Another member did that as well

raybo3

Handy was never banned.....

Cableguy Greg

My mistake... I thought that RinkerYan was Handy.

Handymans342

I am the same great guy as Rinkeryan

raybo3

Yeah and the only way to change screek name was to ban him. So technically he was banned.......LOL

Handymans342

Your cold Ray

Handymans342
