As a general rule, if you have a problem with a specific member you should PM a mod about your concerns, so you can privately discuss the issue. Obviously mention the member and link to examples of the disagreement.

This isn't a thread about Hamilton.

So long as they don't break the forum rules on videos I don't see why not. I'd probably suggest that they should be videos from Facebook pages rather than personal accounts. Also, make sure they aren't Facebook videos that are lifted from YouTube (or other sources) as a lot of that goes on with Face...

Just a note, as well as the inappropriate comments which have now been removed, this thread is to discuss Free Practice, not the Sauber situation. PF1-Mod already mentioned that once already - there is a thread for the Sauber situation, please discuss it there.

I have modified the posts to change the image to a link.

This is getting out of hand. Discuss the thread's topic without the wild speculation and irrelevant detail or the thread will have to be locked.

Note - this does not apply to everyone who has been posting of late. I'm sure it's obvious the posts I am referring to.

I can't speak for the rest of the mods, however I don't believe that the OP 'owns' a thread. By all means, report a thread if it is breaking the rules, or has gone wildly off topic. However, a thread gradually evolving is not the same as a hijack. A forum is not a blog. It's not a place to post some...

There's no escaping the fact that she is a high achiever in other classes of motor sport. But how many other drivers of her age, experience and record are testing cars in this class? If anyone can identify anyone similar I'd be very interested to see who that is. In the meantime I don't see why any...

I'm not questioning your impartiality. It's more a case of expecting Mods to simply moderate, nothing more. I assume you all have separate logins as 'yourself' and therefore that's how you'd comment about particular points of view that are not of a moderating nature. I moderated this forum for many...

All the mods are volunteers from the forum, and we all try to moderate impartially without bias. Of course, it's impossible to be a) completely impartial and unbiased in practice and b) being impartial in one person's eyes is leaning too far one way to another person and leaning too far the other wa...

I would also like to voice my... dislike of the treatment of Top Gear. If the discussion was about other episodes, or the other segments in the show, I would understand, but the fact alone that multiple drivers have been on the show and discussed F1 should make it more eligible for main section of ...

Top Gear is a scripted entertainment show, it's not real life. Every time a driver appears the same arguments occur as to why he was or wasn't faster than another driver, track conditions, car condition, weather, the veracity of the laptimes... If we allowed discussion of a driver's appearance on To...

The Top Gear discussion had dragged this off topic. I have moved the Top Gear related posts to the Top Gear thread in Off Topic here: http://forum.planet-f1.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=7393 And all the posts about whether Top Gear should be allowed in the main forum to the Feedback thread here: http://f...

You can discuss his appearance on Top Gear, in the Top Gear thread in Off Topic. Top Gear is not a permitted source in the main forum because it is an entertainment show. And even if everything was factual, any discussion would just descend into an argument over different weather conditions, track s...

Top Gear is an entertainment show, and is not F1 news. We even have a rule specifically about it.

This has gone way, way off topic - the topic being about the accuracy of Fox News - and is now on a path where it's not going to end well.

Edit to add: off-topic posts removed due to extremity of some content. P-F1 Mod.

Be very careful with where this thread goes. This is a sensitive issue based on today's events and posts that do not keep that in mind will be dealt with. Likewise, any attempt to use it as an excuse to post sentiments that are against the rules of the board will also not be tolerated.

Removing my own post because I misunderstood the scoring system. Now I know why PF1-Mod bought me a calculator in the moderator secret santa.

On a related tangent. People have mentioned that they do not visit the in depth of games forums. What do people think about making those forums sub forums of this forum instead? That way, when you come into the main forum, you'll see them at the top of the page, and if the icons are yellow you'll kn...

As we stated from the start, it's a trial to see how it works out. If it doesn't work out then we'll either scrap it, or introduce changes. Ultimately, we'll do what works best. People use things in different ways, so there is never a perfect one size fits all solution. While it's fair to say at the...

That is a clue but it is not hard evidence. We do have other ways of knowing...

We are listening to the feedback in here, and I have just moved the Driver of the Day and Driver of the Year polls into the main forum to see how that affects engagement with them.

As per the two previous posts, we were going to allow it in the main forum, but it was suggested to put it in the poll forum as a measure of how much attention it has been getting.

Lol I accidentally voted Bottas, Massa and Ricciardo and only one of them I wanted to vote for. Bit quiet on here.. Poll sub-forum, they need to do what Alien did with his poll and put a thread on the main page linking this one. Seems a bit pointless having a sub-forum if you have to do that. Three...

Ok, that's a good idea, to give a base comparison to previous polls. It will also draw attention to the polls sub forum if anyone hasn't already seen.

It just makes no sense to me and that you, Mod Aqua, are calling people hostile for simply sharing an opinion I actually find rather rude. We are not being hostile just because we don't like what you did. Maybe hostile was the wrong choice of words, and I apologise if that's offended anyone, howeve...

People have created more polls since the polls sub forum was created.

DOLOMITE's survey consists of 11 different polls, not 4.

There has been an increasing tendency for threads to be created lately with a token poll to prevent them from being merged into the main thread on that discussion. The "What the fans want" threads were a secondary thing, but also demonstrated the same problem with the limitation of the forum softwa...

To stop this thread getting bogged down with PollGate I've opened the Polls Sticky thread I created for discussion specifically about this issue and moved the posts to it.

http://forum.planet-f1.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=11461

Please post all future feedback on the issue there, thanks!

I think we could probably make a special case for the "Driver of the Day" poll going in the main forum, as that is a staple thread of the forum.

We are taking on board people's feedback on this issue, but I would still ask people to be patient and run with it for the time being.

Not sure I've caused an uproar, blimey!!!!! It's an opinion, that's what a feedback thread is for. Just to clarify, that whole post was not directed at you personally. Only the lines specifically responding to the quoted question were. And of course people are entitled to their opinions which they ...

Up until the last day or so, I saw no problem with Polls being in the main thread. Has this been in the pipeline for some time, or is it because of the sudden creation of a number of polls a day or so ago? There has been an increasing tendency for threads to be created lately with a token poll to p...

DOLOMITE is running a series of polls surveying aspects of what the fans want on a wide number of aspects of the sport. All of those polls can be found in the polls sub forum, but at the time of writing, these are polls he has set up: Podium Interviews Bernie Ecclestone Super GP2 teams Energy Recove...

In case anyone has not noticed, there is now a polls subforum. As it's at the top of the page - above the announcement threads and forum title, it's quite possible people missed it, so I am posting this sticky thread to draw attention to it. We're running it as a trial, and will review it in a coupl...

As it's a new addition to the forum people may not have noticed it is there yet. I will temporarily post an sticky thread to point it out to people. However, other than "returning to how things were before", what solutions do you suggest? Other possible options we considered, but decided against inc...

Yesterday morning Michael Schumacher's web site was reactivated, and the family is directing any signs of support to tweet them with the hashtag "#keepfightingmichael".

You can find the website here:

It should be pointed out that there were other reasons for the poll subforum being introduced. The main one is that often it is the case that there will be a thread discussing a major issue, but then someone wants to run a poll on the issue (or maybe more than one). Because the forum software does n...

This forum doesn't allow that. If we merge two polls one of them gets destroyed.

apologies for clogging up the main section! No need to apologise. Hopefully the poll forum will enable you to be freer to conduct more polls. I have no problem with people starting a discussion and then linking to polls in the poll forum. For example, someone may start a thread that needs two polls...

This thread is for discussion about the Polls Subforum, feedback and discussion. Please try to be constructive with your feedback. I have moved the old posts from the feedback to this thread, and consequently, because some of the posts were older than my original post, they appear before it. I have...
