Thank you its actually refreshing that people can air their feelings and not get 3 or 4 goons flaming them, that is why I like this board so much!

I am a stickler for rules being applied when they are set up. That being said I want to enjoy this board and hope no-one sees me a stirring anything. My next trip I shall be posting a trip report in January. And I am sure I will bump into some of ye from the board. I am not looking for Trusted member status and don't want it actually as the "criteria" isn't evenly applied. So when I do meet some of ye up in January - please don't put me on that lvl, many thanks. I hope to contribute more and more over the next years and hope that I make some good friends here.

I think MODS/ADMIN should start either revamping their criteria for "Trusted Member" status - was it not that you had to have X ammount of post - some guys have had 8 posts and upped the lvl - others have had over the X ammount and not. As the board grows and more people join what usually happens is more buearocracy (sp?) and if you can't get the basics right no point in going on. Just have a closed forum with invited guests or have like other boards the usual suspects posting to each other talking shite and no-one contributing anything bar blowing smoke up each others ass. I like this board compared to the other people are friendlier and more helpfull - I am more of a lurker than poster on forums, but I like to contribute when I feel I can or when I feel I need some help/info.
