One of the most common complaints levelled at site admins/mods is that rules are applied inconsistently.

This generally IS the case because a voluntary activity squeezed into precious spare moments in the day mean that teams that run sites dont have them time to vet all posts and threads.


Good sites depend on the community to help with the running.


Cate, rather than being flippant perhaps you could report those posts advertising property outside of ED, I'm sure admin would appreciate it, I know you do it elsewhere.


Hadenuff, yes your posts were removed and others werent, im sure admin will try harder in future and yeah I get it, you're angry, I suggest a herbal tea and bed rest.


Plus there's always the nunhead forum, or indeed an estate agent.

Hi there,


I think that person has a point. I live in Sylvester Road & our Landlord has just put our rent up. Apart from the fact that the house is falling apart. I've been lookin for alternative housing only to find that I have no choice but to move away from east dulwich. nunhead is one of the places that is close by & a bit safer than peckham or camberwell. I looked on the nunhead forum & they don not have a rental site. The only other way is with expensive estate agent & so I'm now having to look at moving back home to kent.

Where was I being flippant? I genuinely did not understand why the post(s) had been removed. If it is the case that Nunhead property can't be advertised then perhaps it should say so in the blurb on the thread. That could save Admin the problem of deleting them.


I did flag up the other posts as it seemed odd they were there and the other wasn't.


Perhaps those wishing to advertise their properties out of the immediate area could offer a contribution to the running of the Forum in return for them being allowed to place an advert.

I'm really stuck now. My flatmate was in contact with the hadenuff lady, but now it seems that admin have removed them from the forum or they seem to have vanished off the forum & i was meant to go for a viewing with my dad because my flatmate has gone overseas. The lady was going to contact me with her address in nunhead. Does anyone have hadenuff lady's contact details, because my dad has driven all the way from Birmingham & taken tomorrow off work. please help.

thankyou cate. i'm new to this & my flatmate who was talking with hadenuff has had to go to new york at short notice.

i hope she gets my message. i still do not know what hadenuff has done wrong? seems petty to me. does it mean that if we move to nunhaed we can't be on the forum. my flatmate is on it all the time. thanks again.

Gary / dulwichflower / hadenuff - you may not realise it but computers have what's called an 'IP address' which identifies the machine.


If your posts are coming from the same IP address in a very short space of time then 90%+ chance they're coming from the same machine, and 99%+ they're coming from the same home router.


It isn't always the case, but you demonstrate few signals you're an internet whiz, and many more that you're a slightly niggly sock puppeteer on the edge of a rather narcissistic persecution complex.


Admin isn't one person, and isn't full time. This is a free local resource that has neither the infrastructure nor capacity to provide a regional service. The line gets drawn somewhere about what stays in and what stays out, and people do their best to cooperate.


Unless they're you. In that case they whine and whinge to try and get their own way. Not a very flattering style from an adult.

When you say Gaaawd... you mean God a.k.a The Administrator, the mighty one who you all kneel before, right?

"ooh look what I've written Gaaawd, oooh can I be your bestest buddy Gaaawd? can I? can I oh mighty Adminman?".

What a sorry bunch of stick together sycophants you are.

Are you all the Administrator's little gang of terminators?

nope - just the exclamation. It's in common use - I'm surprised you haven't heard of it


You seem more obsessed by Admin than anyone I've come across before tho'. And sheep


Clearly a night's sleep hasn't done you any good. But you are very articulate aren't you. I'm sure you are winning an army of fans as we talk

I won't be able to get as big an army of fans as you Sean. I see that all the familiar names that keep popping up are all in some way linked, pals, chums, back slappers of the world united, all sitting around listening to the Pogues no doubt".


"Hey Sean, Keeeeeeef, Huguenot, Kel... quick theres an interloper in our midst, lets all have him, the dirty rotter has been having a go at our beloved Gaaawd almighty, our administrator".


Well here I am, an army of one. The Nunhead One.


Keep in the herd.

    • I've never got Christmas pudding. The only times I've managed to make it vaguely acceptable to people is thus: Buy a really tiny one when it's remaindered in Tesco's. They confound carbon dating, so the yellow labelled stuff at 75% off on Boxing Day will keep you going for years. Chop it up and soak it in Stones Ginger Wine and left over Scotch. Mix it in with a decent vanilla ice cream. It's like a festive Rum 'n' Raisin. Or: Stick a couple in a demijohn of Aldi vodka and serve it to guests, accompanied by 'The Party's Over' by Johnny Mathis when people simply won't leave your flat.
    • Not miserable at all! I feel the same and also want to complain to the council but not sure who or where best to aim it at? I have flagged it with our local MP and one Southwark councillor previously but only verbally when discussing other things and didn’t get anywhere other than them agreeing it was very frustrating etc. but would love to do something on paper. I think they’ve been pretty much every night for the last couple of weeks and my cat is hating it! As am I !
    • That is also a Young's pub, like The Cherry Tree. However fantastic the menu looks, you might want to ask exactly who will cook the food on the day, and how. Also, if  there is Christmas pudding on the menu, you might want to ask how that will be cooked, and whether it will look and/or taste anything like the Christmas puddings you have had in the past.
    • This reminds me of a situation a few years ago when a mate's Dad was coming down and fancied Franklin's for Christmas Day. He'd been there once, in September, and loved it. Obviously, they're far too tuned in to do it, so having looked around, £100 per head was pretty standard for fairly average pubs around here. That is ridiculous. I'd go with Penguin's idea; one of the best Christmas Day lunches I've ever had was at the Lahore Kebab House in Whitechapel. And it was BYO. After a couple of Guinness outside Franklin's, we decided £100 for four people was the absolute maximum, but it had to be done in the style of Franklin's and sourced within walking distance of The Gowlett. All the supermarkets knock themselves out on veg as a loss leader - particularly anything festive - and the Afghani lads on Rye Lane are brilliant for more esoteric stuff and spices, so it really doesn't need to be pricey. Here's what we came up with. It was considerably less than £100 for four. Bread & Butter (Lidl & Lurpak on offer at Iceland) Mersea Oysters (Sopers) Parsnip & Potato Soup ( I think they were both less than 20 pence a kilo at Morrisons) Smoked mackerel, Jerseys, watercress & radish (Sopers) Rolled turkey breast joint (£7.95 from Iceland) Roast Duck (two for £12 at Lidl) Mash  Carrots, star anise, butter emulsion. Stir-fried Brussels, bacon, chestnuts and Worcestershire sauce.(Lidl) Clementine and limoncello granita (all from Lidl) Stollen (Lidl) Stichelton, Cornish Cruncher, Stinking Bishop. (Marks & Sparks) There was a couple of lessons to learn: Don't freeze mash. It breaks down the cellular structure and ends up more like a French pomme purée. I renamed it 'Pomme Mikael Silvestre' after my favourite French centre-half cum left back and got away with it, but if you're not amongst football fans you may not be so lucky. Tasted great, looked like shit. Don't take the clementine granita out of the freezer too early, particularly if you've overdone it on the limoncello. It melts quickly and someone will suggest snorting it. The sugar really sticks your nostrils together on Boxing Day. Speaking of 'lost' Christmases past, John Lewis have hijacked Alison Limerick's 'Where Love Lives' for their new advert. Bastards. But not a bad ad.   Beansprout, I have a massive steel pot I bought from a Nigerian place on Choumert Road many years ago. It could do with a work out. I'm quite prepared to make a huge, spicy parsnip soup for anyone who fancies it and a few carols.
