Dear admin


My friends and I are trying to organise a street party on 2 June - we are all volunteers and are putting substantial amounts of our time and effort into doing this. We get no gain of any kind out of it other than a warm glow from helping people to get together.


We try to advertise this on EDF so that people know when to turn up.

We ask for the loan of gazebos to help keep those people dry.

Both of things are essential and we are trying to use the forum as a community resource to help us get the message out to people.


You move both threads to bits of the forum which get maybe two and a half hits a week. Why?


On the other hand, we could start some kind of artificial argy bargy that incidentally publicises the street party and asks for the loan of gazebos. You'd probably allow us to keep that in the main threads. Doesn't make much sense to me.

Could you possibly move our gazebo request at least back to the main drag?


thanks

You do know why there is a wanted section and a whats on section don't you?


Appreciate you are doing something off your own back but you want something and you are organising something that's on.


136 views for the "gazebo wanted" thread in 2 days is rather different to your "2 and a half hits a week. "


The whats on post has nearly 500 views - that is no small amount


If I was admin I would find the tone of your post in here a bit pissy (no matter how much I support what you are doing)

150-odd views of 'gazebo wanted' by now, but no gazebos on offer - clearly the EDF is not read by people with gazebos.

Lost cats, yes, dodgy plumbers, yes, but no gazebos.


I am also puzzled. Can you please un-puzzle me.

I thought I'd posted this in a section which said 'Ask Admin'. I get a reply from you. Are you Admin?

Sure


Admin is increasingly busy and if you are waiting for him to answer you could be waiting a long time. I replied because I'm a nosy ex admin assistant an thought your post was pitched in a way unlikely to elicit sympathy


I can't help with the lack of local gazebo action but I hope the event goes well (and you get the weather)

I've not really looked into it but as long as we act accordingly i.e. take down anything that we are made aware of that is obviously defamatory, and/or comply with the authorities requests as soon as we can, then we should be fine.


So no, I don't think it'll make a difference round here. The onus is on the individuals to stay within the law and I don't want them using the forum as a tool to 'anonymously' break the law.

    • Rant ahead: You're not one of them but unfortunately, there's a substrate of posters here that do very little except moan and come up with weird conspiracy theories. They're immediately highly critical of just about any change, and their initial assumption is that everyone else is a total fucking contemptible idiot. For example: don't you think that the people who run the libraries will have considered the impact of timing of reconstruction on library users? (In fact, we know they have - because they've made arrangements at other libraries to attempt to mitigate the disruption). After all, these are the people that spend their whole working week thinking about libraries and dealing with library users (and the kids especially). You don't go into the library game for the chicks and fame - so it's fair to assume that librarians are committed to public service and public access to libraries, including by kids. Likewise the built environment people (engineers, architects, construction managers, project managers, construction contractors, subcontractors or whoever is on this job) are told to minimise disruption on every job they do. The thing that occurs to us as amateurs within 30 seconds of us seeing something is probably not something a full time professional hasn't thought about! Southwark Council, the NHS, TfL, Dulwich Estate, Thames Water, Openreach - they're not SPECTRE factories filled with malevolent chaosmongers trying to persecute anyone. They're mostly filled with people who understand their job and try to do their best with what they've been given - just like all of us. Nobody is perfect or immune from challenge, and that's fair enough, but why not at least start from the assumption that there's a good reason why things have been done the way they have? Any normal person would be pleased that their busy, pretty, lively local library is getting refurbished, and will have more space and facilities for kids and teens, and will be more efficient to run and warmer in winter. But no, EDT_Forumite_752 had kids who did an exam 20 years ago, and this makes them an expert on library refurbishment who can see it's all just stuff and nonsense for the green agenda and why can't it all be put off... 😡😡😡
    • I completely misread the previous post, sorry. For some reason I thought the mini cooper was also a police vehicle, DUH.
