SO....

Where are you off to this summer then?

 

[Deleted member 21686]

I was always told to ignore bullies and they will eventually go away,but you will always in life come across people who know it all,always right and forever trying to belittle others.Then there are the sensitive ones who get offended at the slightest things.Thats what makes the world go round, but I've noticed that the most insulting posts are made in threads that have nothing to do with Wildcamping or motorhomes,and are usually about politics or religion ( which as we all know is the biggest cause of misery and wars in this world).
So maybe these few trolls should go and start up their own forum where they can insult,be little and rip the crap out of each other.One member in particular who never seems to debate anything to do with camping or motorhomes and just seems to want to quote references from news papers! Their must be another forum to cater for his needs,not this one.
on the other hand ,I havn't read all the posts in this thread but looking at the individual post score,most of them are very low,lots in single figures, isn't it sad that they can't be bothered to contribute until there's a thread on banning people and complaining! So come on its your forum, you don't have to read every thread,but don't just post in a thread for complaining! We're all adults here

Ar'nt we :banana::wave:

yep you are right ellisboy they are crawling out of the woodwork.

Oh dear, yet another nasty little post having a dig at one person in particular, and a very inaccurate dig as well, as usual! And you complain about others, What a nerve!

Give it a rest. I joined this site to find out about motorhoming and wilding in particular. As things stand, I'm off. I've had enough of this kind of snide crack, from you and others. As someone else has already said, this is the sort of thing that puts lots of people off from joining in. Nobody with any sense is going to post if they think someone's going to come at them with both barrels, and I am one of those people.

I know the title of the pole may be a bit inflammatory but at present it would seem only 10% of us believe in free speech:sad:

The good thing that has come out of this thread is the fact that members who never bother posting are finally communicating something.

I can only hope they keep it up. The more the merrier and hopefully more wilding spots should be announced.

Only read a few of the posts, and even I noticed this (limited powers of observation). I can't figure out why this should be the case.

In addition to the LIKE button perhaps there should be a DISLIKE button, when a post gets say 20 DISLIKES it gets deleted. If the LIKES outnumber the DISLIKES whatever the number, the post remains, a measure of Democracy one might say At least the decision is not dependant on any individual decision.
Further refinement such as deletion of the whole thread may be left at the Moderators discretion, when several posts have high DISLIKE numbers for instance.

Well.... I was only trying for the "second" good thing to come out of this thread!!!

mmmm seems like a personal grievance here ...

I would lock the topic... and advise you take to PM.

I have noticed a few members who do seem to come onto threads and just seem to have a go. I don't have a problem with debates but some do seem to get a little personnal. These members I have noticed don't seem to start any useful threads or add info to the site. I have started to avoid certain types of threads as I know the type of responses that it will get. Sometimes I feel that I would like to comment on some things but don't as I am worried of what maybe said to me.
At first I was a little unsure about banning members but I know that Phil would not ban anyone without privately speaking to them and warning them of their behaviour first.

I was recommended this site by a close friend of mine about a year ago but I was put off by Northerner and his comments then, he obviously enjoys winding people up you only have to look at his history to see this, just look at how many comments he has made on this thread alone. I will not become a full member while this sort of thing carries on, I want to enjoy my visits to www.wildcamping.co.uk. Good luck to you guys, I hope you get sorted and I'm probably going to get the first ban for naming Northerner. This is the first time I have made a comments on here and I would have never have come back but for the email I received asking me to vote on this pole. I have asked Phil to remove me from wildcamping.co.uk as I can see nothing has changed here.

 

[The Rebel Camper]

Im done!!!

It makes me laugh, your admin sets up a poll, asking for a reply... I have seen the majority of replies ( POLL )

So now is a time for decision.

I have seen ALL that I want to see now... and my vote has been passed... and may I say it WAS the correct vote.

 

[tiderus]

Dear, Dear, Dear, Hear we go again.

Of course people will differ in their views.

Can't decide yes or no. me self. Both have a modicome of merit.

So the answer is really simple.

We have a system called likes. If we like a post, we vote and say so.

Sooo. If you dislike the posts, why not also have a button to say so.

If however you reached say ten dislikes, (and this should tell you something.)

Them we get banned. SIMPLES?

I'm not in favor of the birch, cat of nine tales etc, as these were held over us whilst growing up.

But people will always take things to far, its the real world.

So before I get my Ruler out, or slap your legs.

Get real, people don't like you doing it. this is not the place.

It only serves to aillianate you at club meets etc.

Well done Phil, this is the bestest quickest thread Iv'e seen.

Wish I'd thought of it.

Nothing like a bit of pressure to get what you want.

 

[maingate]

I like Byronics idea of a 'dislike' function which would automatically lock a thread if it was getting out of hand. I cannot see it being abused but then again, the low cunning of members is not to be underestimated. :lol-061:

It has been said before but it is worth saying again: free speech may be uncomfortable at times but it is better than the alternative. If you held a national poll on the subject I am sure that an overwhelming majority would come down on the side of free speech but on this forum we have always been in a minority.

Having said that, I accept that there are limits to free speech and these are framed in law - and there is no excuse for bullying and insulting behaviour.

That Sir, is a damn fine idea, well done! :bow:

In fact with a 'swingometer' you can tell at a moment if a member is considered a bit of a tit by his Peers! c:

 

[jhorsf]

It looks like you have an answer you just have to be brave enough to carry it out

 

[The Rebel Camper]

YAWN... mmm

Repetion is so boring... ide rather be camping ...

These people would not attend a meet as they stay behind their computers!

I suspect that the majority of people on this website agree with freedom of speech. The difficulty is that some feel the need to abandon civility and courtesy in favour of incendiary adjectives and personal insult that more often than not lead to a bear fight between some and a reiticence from others to offer their views for fear of being drawn into what often becomes a protracted and vicious thread.

 

[The Rebel Camper]

I hope...

I hope you guys get this sorted very soon... as this convo is getting very boring now... ive said what ive had to say... its over to you guys now...

I would prefer to be camping right now..


Anyway ..... its knocked the posts up... pmsl now

The problem with that idea is that it makes minority opinions on any subject seem worthless (and as someone who is often happily in a minority, I don't think I approve! :lol-053. What most people are objecting to here is abusive and bullying behaviour - and that can be expressed by someone in the majority!
