@Dean Lambert> it is already implemented on wap and also, if u have a t610 , u can check sato thru xhtml, where u also have the PM function.
U have to know the name of the mod ( Masseur or Tranquil) and PM them!

Then again sometimes posting questions that have already been asked can help. For example. I don't have a p900, yet after reading some of the answers on here i can answer some of the questions asked. As i mentioned earlier, the introduction of the search option for wap users is possibly the best thing this site has done for a while. Even tho some people won't use the option ( I forgot about it last night), but at least the choice is there for people. Been able to point out previous posts will help.

@steve-wilks: It's all about how you use the search. If you enter "t610" in the search you will get thousands of threads. If you specify your search better you can find almost everything...
like for example this :
Please stop saying use the search!

From my point of view the title "Lets fix Esato!!" is a bit false.
Esato as a site and its structure is perfect especially now that the posts shown at home page have been increased as well as the regional section.
Regarding posts that sometimes are uselless (including mine sometimes) I must agree that some are pointless and some are very usefull. Most of them I must say are usefull. But because of the difference between people and their interests we "judge and accuse" some posts. Still though some Esato users find them interesting.
Free will and opinion then, as long as its true. I mean I dont like some posts to spread rumours and unreliable information which are false.

@701 i don't use the T610 for wap, basically cos it would cost a fortune. I've had a look from this phone and still can't find the option to pm someone. I know there is a lot of T300 users that post via wap.

my thoughts...
Since I was made a mod in November I have been
very active in that capacity, removing virtually every warez thread, removing duplicate threads, moving threads to their correct forums, in some cases removing garbage, flaming and off topic posts to threads (including quite a few from a certain poster in this thread), etc etc etc and all the other duties expected of a mod. I am sure part of why I was made mod is because I am able to be online most of the day. It takes quite a bit of time but still people want more, it seems
The nature of Esato is that it is growing.
This is largely due to the fact that whenever anyone searches for relevant
things in Google, Esato inevitably appears and with the increased access of the internet many of those people are non technical or not familiar with how forums work, what etiquettes and rules exist etc or that a forum like Esato is really a community and not just a help desk.
These people just see an opportunity to get their question answered and so jump right in with that question and that is the nature of people and I don't think we can ever stop that.
With the increasing visibility of Esato on the web there are bound to be all sorts coming to Esato and the more that visit the dynamics of Esato are bound to change as it will no longer be the cosy comfortable place it was with fewer members.
In regards to the search, people complained that it was useless, and I was one of them although generally I could find most things I was looking for. Now laffen has introduced a much improved search and I rarely have trouble finding anything I am looking for so there really is no reason to complain about that. If you get too many results then do as you would on google, improve the criteria.
I have to admit there are certain posters who annoy me too but a certain level of tolerance is required and people do not need to feel they have to express their anger about a topic that they feel is uneccessary with a negative reply on that topic. Just move on to the next.
Obviously people on WAP will be more annoyed due to the limited view of Esato they have and they don't want that cluttered up with junk. That is already taken care of to some extent as some forums are not available on wap such as garbage etc.
As tranquil has repeated many times, if there is something that any member thinks breaks any rules or is not suitable for Esato or has any other issue then just PM one of us and we will take action, as appropriate or neccessary, right away. So far there are only a couple of people who PM me in this regards on a regular basis.
We are also open to suggestions on improving Esato.
In summary, and in response to the original post to "elders and moderators; get to work", the moderators do do their jobs but unless we tighten the rules dramatically, or delete threads from people who ask questions that are asked often etc etc there is not too much more we can do...
...and if we did that what sort of place would Esato be then?

From a certain poster in this thread? Everyone stop staring at me your making of nervous. The mod's do the best job they can. No arguments there.

@masseur: You say that we're supposed to PM you moderators when we find something's wrong or someone behaves badly but except the tiny tiny text "this forum is moderated by..." in the top of every forum I can't see who's the moderator and who's doing what in the forum.
Plus, your description of what a mod does reminds me of other things where I am connected, where you do things in "the background" and no one sees. Like on a big website or similar.
__
Some users don't know how much work it is to keep the place updated and fresh and keep on whining "this and that doesn't work!"
To make us normal users know who are doing what and how much work it takes to keep esato as one of the best mobile forums on the web, I suggest a page or special sticked thread that introduces every moderator to the users and what duties they have, for example who's punishing ppl who doesn't behave, who's keeping the threads in the right topic etc...
