Kibkom North Cyprus Forum

There is a lady living in the south for 20 years who feel it could be time to come here. However, she wants to do a bit of a rekkie first, so is asking if anyone has a small place to rent to her, fairly quiet, as far out as Lapta or Catalkoy from Kyrenia, but not at a holiday rent. She would come for August, or maybe earlier if a place coul dbe found, and could stay longer. I know this sounds nebulous but if anyone has idea ideas or has a property they could rent her, could you pm me please and I can liaise with her.

I shall probably get shot for leaving this on the main Forum but I want as manhy people to read it as possible, and I am sure if I put it in the wanted accommodation sectons no one would read it. So, if I am breaking the rule,s I am doing it out of love for someone else.

So, can anyone help? and no silly rentals please, she wants to live here and have it affordable, although one appreciates it is a diffiuclt time of the year for cheaper rental.

thanks.

Ah well lets all break the rules then and just say its for somebody else , talk about setting an example as a moderator , I think your next post should be to resign as a moderator unless you think everybody should follow your example , I personally couldn't care less but when I see moderators trying to waive a big stick then making a mockery of the system it then becomes one rule for you and one rule for us .

Marion your reasoning for posting on the main forum is clearly because you believe the subject will gain greater exposure, as you have stated on the posting, which is fair enough. From your previous comments regarding the allocating of threads to the appropriate category you have indicated a personal preference for all subjects to be on the general forum but surely your choice to knowingly post this thread here contradicts and undermines Soner's decision regarding the correct posting of different categories. So yes, may be you will have to take some critical comments on the chin. Rules are rules I'm afraid

I totally agree with the above posters. Rules for Some and there attitude we can do what we like think they have picked up some Cypriot ways along the road

Valid points and no need to be nasty! If Soner wants me to resign, of course I will - he is the boss, but I thought the latest ruling is that things remain on the main board for three days, unless considered important to move them straight away. Plus I have the option of making this a sticky if I so wish, and I probably will in order to help this person.

so I do not think I have broken any rules, but again Soner is the boss and he must decide and I stick by his decision. this posting is a clear indication that certain things need to be in the public eye for longer than 3 days, and so as I say, I know I have the option of buying a sticky.

Sorry that you feel so strongly about this, and I wonder how others may feel, but then of course it was a clear indication that for most people they are happy to go along with whatever the rules are, or they would comment.

In the circumstances I am happy to obey the rules and use the rules as appropriate in order to try to help this person.

Must say that I was surprised you done it ,I feel you have left the door open for all to follow . If you had not mentioned the rules then I don't suppose any one would of noticed .

OMG, I do not see a problem with Marions post. As mentioned in my post on the Global, members can now post anything on the General forum which may be moved within 3 days by moderators.

New Rules:

1) Any posts that are to do with Sales or Events will be moved immediately to their respective category listing. These are usually promoting businesses - they have an option to buy a "Sticky", "Global Announcement" or "Ad Banner", of which payments will go towards our annual donation to mainly TRNC Charities.

2) Other misplaced posts will be moved anytime by mods within 3 days. This can mean "immediately" to anytime within the 3 days - discretion lays with my mods.

Am I missing something???

thanks. and as I have said publicly, I will buy a sticky for this one, as it is important and does not deserve to get lost.

But more importantly, CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP THIS LADY. (put in caps for emphasis)

All,

I read Marions posting the day it went on the board and having just been told that the new rules were things could remain on the main forum for up to 3 days before being moved I cannot really see what the excitement is about.

The 3 day rule gives time for exposure on the main forum and then if necessary the topic is then moved. I believe the rules are clear an it is the same for everyone. It is not one rule for one and another rule for others, its the same for all.

As has been mentioned before, Soner did a survey to gain feedback on what forum members wanted, but the response given the number of members was very poor - which probably shows that the vast majority have no preference either way or just do not care and use the forum as they see fit.

So you post on the main forum should you so wish or you post in the section that is most applicable, its your choice - most I believe will just post on the main forum. The moderators have up to 3 days to move to the appropriate area if necessary - gives people time to view it and also the moderators some time to then move it - given that the moderators cannot possibly spend every hour monitoring the forum. This hopefully will go some way to satisfy in some way those few that expressed a preference. It will not be 100% ideal for all but to me seems a very sensible compromise.

Dont let the heat get to you - in the grand scheme of things its not that important but the moderators will do their best to administer the forum as best they can, taking guidance from Soner and also others should it be necessary.

Of course those postings that are to do with sales or events will get moved straight away...or as soon as a moderator spots it.

More importantly - is there anyone out there that can help with the original request re a short term let commencing July/August?

I think the big stick comment is a little harsh - there are no big sticks being waved - Kibkom is not that sort of forum. As the forum grows and matures so the rules and administration must change - I feel sure the vast majority of members are more than happy with the way the forum is moderated. Sometimes it is appropriate to remove or lock a topic, or not allow something to be posted and this is often done with a reason as to why. Sometimes the occasional poster is obviously out to cause trouble and has to be banned but that is for the benefit of all.

In the main given the number of members and postings each day this forum is in my opinion still the best for friendliness, discussion, advice and the occasional bit of banter.

A clarification. The use of capital letters applies to TITLES only! One is asked not to use caps or other symbols in the title, so i have not broken the rules here. I think maybe some people have misunderstood just what is being said on this.

and as I do not wish to be accused of being off topic, I wish to reiterate the purpose of this posting, namely to help someone find accommodation here.

i have already received a private message which might be the answer, but am open to more so that the person concerned can decide as to which is acceptable to her.

thanks.

I am closing this post as it has gone off topic.
