Yeah, the topics are really lame nowadays in most forums. Especially the politics forum is always full of anti-West sentiment and conspiracy theories. Booooring! We have a huge influx of newbie questions from people who can't bother to use the search function or read further in the specific forums. ...

You need an international driver's license to drive a HIRE car in the UAE while on a visit visa. You are not allowed to drive any other car unless you have a residency visa and a UAE license. That is the law. Why listen to hearsay from a friend when the law applies to everyone and you could get caug...

Sorry to hear about your missing suitcases! Seems they will be having a little vacation in a nice spot before making their way back to you!

If you have baggage insurance, perhaps you can buy some new suits and claim them on the insurance?

Yes, Sage & Onion certainly has been on his own to run things. He's likely doing the best he can. Still, we have every right to speak up when we think some thread has been misdirected or the moderation hasn't been fair.

kanelli

But you see, we DO have many Saddam-lovers and West-haters on here. Just spend some time in this forum for a year and you can see it plain as day. Funny how people can admire Saddam Hussein, yet they find George Bush to be the worst criminal out there. Now how's that kind of thinking for "unbia...

I propose that the following moderators be reconsidered. They do not exist, the_zooter - left the forum Liban - left the forum XRW-147 - left the forum harpax - who the hell is harpax? Never heard of him, never seen a post in one year. faisal7 - who the hell is faisal7? Never heard of him, never see...

Yes, Sage & Onion certainly has been on his own to run things. He's likely doing the best he can. Still, we have every right to speak up when we think some thread has been misdirected or the moderation hasn't been fair. K, I totally agree, but what the hell is the guy supposed to do on his own?...

kanelli

Fayz and sara_uk are still around, and their Arabic Language forum isn't really a heavy one to moderate, so that is why I didn't comment on them.

kanelli

Well, I am yet to hear anyone on here praise Bush for his actions. Can you find me a thread where people are glorifying George Bush? As to the Arab-haters, yes, they are here - but I consider them trolls and don't comment on them. We all know who they are with their comments and avatars. All of us h...

Lets start with "NORMAL"

Bushra, here is a prime example of such a troll.

kanelli

Well Bushra, they still have people swearing on Bibles, so that should give you an indication on how separate church and state are. Frankly I'm surprised they haven't substituted the Bible with a copy of the Constitution if they want to actually appear secular. :lol: I personally see nothing wrong w...

Go away troll!

Two previously recommended contacts from another forumer are http://www.airanimal.com and Dubai Kennels and Cattery who look after relocations - http://www.dkc.ae

kanelli

Actually, I started out posting in a way that gives my opinion without personally insulting anyone. However, since so many of you are Saddam-lovers and West-haters and didn't like my opinion, I was subjected to name calling and insults. It went downhill from there. So, I see now that if someone pos...

kanelli

Asc, you are in danger of steering this off topic. We are discussing moderating because it is only one small part of the current forum issues. No one has claimed that the moderating is the sole problem at all.

kanelli

I'm not sure if Dubai Kennels and Cattery can handle things to Oman though, you will have to check. Perhaps they can recommend some people in Oman if that is the case. Good luck!

kanelli

kanelli, Is this why you do not want me to become a moderator... http://www.dubaiforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=16008 because I am trying to work through my issues... I SWEAR :cry: Bushra, actually no, didn't see that thread. I was briefly reading the blog you have linked to every single post on this f...

kanelli

The difference guys is that I am only calling those people in the thread Saddam-lovers because they are defending him as a hero and someone who could save the Middle East - it is written in black and white! And West-haters are those people who are always posting about how bad the West is and how rot...

kanelli

Don't feed the troll people!

kanelli

Completely unfair. People should be paid for the work, not where their passport comes from.

kanelli

I saw the news report about some 4,500 pieces of luggage sitting around a corridor at Heathrow. It has been 2 weeks and the bags still haven't been sent back to their owners.

kanelli

I'm ashamed to admit, but what the hell is a "moon bat"?

kanelli

Well S & O, you are certainly covering your backside aren't you.

But yes, good to move the thread to the appropriate forum.

kanelli

Yes, but Concord is only one person and a few of us have listed more reasons why this forum has gone to hell in a handbasket recently.

Yorky, our overly-long battle over t & a avatars didn't help the situation, so we have a part too... I'm glad it is over.

kanelli

Hey, if it was Frankfurt airport the bags would make it home before the person

kanelli

Rami, don't let them rile you up. Jamal and Ish are the local "homeboyz" who don't communicate in anything other than US-style Black English. They both have good jobs here and likely have the ability to speak perfectly comprehensible English, but they like to write using alter-egos and pre...

kanelli

That is strange liverpool4ever, because you are listed as a mod, so we assume you have access to the mod forum and have mod rights for moving and deleting things. You'd better take it up with Admin.

kanelli

Zoots, are you back? I think you were doing a good job moderating so I hope you are back. I remember all your hard work with deleting b_lady's spamming threads that appeared every 2 minutes for a couple of days. That was a heck of a lot of work!

kanelli

I don't think you are stupid at all. I didn't read the thread and am not sure what you mean with the humour part. Maybe this is yet another case of humour missing the mark in an online setting. Truthfully, I tend to save humour for meeting in person because it is so often misinterpreted online and c...

kanelli

I don't think this forum is the best place to advertise for a bride (as you can see with how this thread has turned out). In Gulf News I have seen ads for brides/grooms - so perhaps you can try there. p.s. What is the obsession with fair? There are so many dark beauties out there and you are missing...
