Let's hope this thread doesn't get deleted like the last one. Screen shots will help prove that this forum is censored and overly moderated in favour of those who advertise on CR.

It is very interesting and down right disgraceful, but I imagine the new owner of CR will be very interested to hear of this sort of behaviour tomorrow and that the culprit  :Shame On You:  will be forced to publicly apologies to the good folk at CR

CR is a discussion and information forum, not a place to drum up business. Keep those screen shots handy....

What did we all miss?

Belthorpe seems to be quiet lately. Is he on holidays?

Can someone give us advice on how to get hold of Belthorpe and or a moderator ? Do we PM them or is there a formal complaints process?

Email them

You are not suppose to email or pm direct. But.........

I know Kev Tiller is still a mod, Plu is a mod, Action is a mod.

I thought people wanted running watches to be smaller...just how big is this 'Big New Watch'?

Is this it?

Hi all,

Yes I am around - I am not sure what has happened and I did not see the earlier posts.  I will see what I can find out.

cheers Plu

This thread sounds like a 'bob each way' argument to me. ;)

ps, have no clue what and why was deleted, just back from Katoomba meeting...but would love to know and I can ask my sources in the mod room.

btw ourdogscruff...my 205 is small enough, can't see the digits as it is, ...I am going to buy another 301, that was the best ever...perhaps they are re-launching that. B)

Have you tried having less data fields on the screen at once?  One data field per screen and the numbers become massive  Even 2 or 3 data fields per screen gives you a bigger font.

Hi all,

Some of us were dealing with these issues late last night and early this morning.

I am just going to close the thread in a way that it can be still read for the time being. At this stage many moderators are not in the loop.

cheers Plu

This forum would have to be one of the most lightly moderated ones around. Nearly all moderation is directed at getting rid of spammers.

CR advertisers get no special favours in the forum.

No, but Bellthorpe doesn't read every thread. None of the mods or admins do. Sometimes a report is the only trigger to read a particular thread, or in this case, group of threads. I wasn't paying attention to this thread, because I don't want a big new watch.

There is a report button on every post. That will flag that post to all moderators and admins. Reports are not generally replied to. Moderators consider reports, and take action. Or not.

If you need a reply, as Thomo said send email to CR - coolrunningaus@gmail.com. Preferably not PM, as that just goes to one person.
