Landlords Call

Phil,

I vote against outright red card without any mediation to see if the whole thing can be put to bed.

Your job is a bit like that of a landlord, if it carries on and gets out of hand, then who threw the first punch, warn them, if you feel the need to ban him/her then do so, you have an advantage here as its all written down, no 'he said she said they said', so make a judgement and tell the rest of the community that your actions, whatever they are, were to protect the forum and its reputation, and to keep the experience of visiting here a good one.

If am out of order I normally know it myself anyway, and if I was warned and asked nicely by a moderator to stop what was causing concern and I ignore my warning I deserve the consequences whatever they are.

Your call Phil, grow some truffles, don't try and dodge the responsibility by hiding behind a vote, its your site, its a good site, so protect it as you see fit, we'll stand by any decision you make!

In a nut shell Phil its your Job to calm them down, stop the rants and postings or let them face your consequences.

Over and Out!
Adam

PS I like to know people warts and all, so at least we learn what they are really like.
 
I just home very tired. five more pages of comments but i'll read them tomorrow when I can absorb the content.

The passion for this forum has been amply displayed by the positive contributions, I haven't a clue about the members who have causes all this upset though I do know this is not the only forum having that sort of occasional trouble.

It's all had a positive effect on me to the extent i'm even considering forking out the annual fee to be a full member. I was, and still am dead-against paying forums.

You're a good crowd, I doubt the detractors and snipers are going to have much effect after this huge rant is over. Maybe 50 pages by the look of it.

Ok Phil, i'll have £15 worth. Unless it's gone up with everything else. (Smile)

Here we go, a little something for ass-holes who caused all this.

I haven't used this forum enough to know what is or isn't acceptable. I'm man enough to take a telling off and happy if Phil edits my message out.

I just came came back from the beach where I kitesurf I saw two ladies bare their bums whilst getting changed in just the same way as blokes do. It's quite normal as long as there isn't any frontal exposure and it's a family beach/car-park.

So why did you post a photo of a man?? Purely in the interests of equality, you now need to post a pic or two of the ladies bums.... then you'll be more than welcome to join! :):)

Really, the one thing that bothers me is that there are members on this site who have a lot to contribute, especially practical skills and experience and some of them it seems are looking over their shoulders wondering if "Sir" (as in teacher) is watching, and that they should be ever mindful of their Ps and Qs.
If we want this expertise and experience then we have to accept a certain degree of laxity in grammar, spelling etc. The alternative will just result in scaring such members off.
No one I imagine could or would argue that better use of the language would be a positive thing, but realistically I don't think any member joins this site to improve their useage of the English language, or to be be advised of how they rate in its correct application.

I totally agree. Some of the most useful information (from some of the nicest people) on this forum is contributed by those whose spelling and grammar is not good (as I'm sure they would agree) but the important thing is the ability to communicate effectively. If the points they are making come across clearly then wot dos it mata if the spelin an grama aint proper? On the other hand, some of the most superficial and aggressive waffle can be posted by people with impeccable grammar. I know who I prefer to communicate with.

PS I see "our side" is down to 8% - by my calculations, if this thread continues for another two days we will disappear altogether! :)

banning

I'm with Deezy and others. A little slack, warnings, but it can't continue. I like the 3 strikes bit. 1 and its a warning, 2 and its a suspension, 3 and its out the door.

I'm one of the people emailed, I hadn't posted on the site for around a year or so, mainly because of the backbiting comments that were starting then..

I'm quite happy taking on the trolls etc, and do so on other forums [BMW bike ones mainly]

That will be the waste of Skin Trippy then! :hammer:
 
ban

If you don't kill them they will kill the website but a warning should be given not a ban straight away. Everyone deserves a chance to amend their ways.
 
After 27 pages of replies to this thread ive forgotten the question and am losing the will to live , ive just got back from a great weekend of "Wild Camping" and two of the places i tried to camp in the signs say "no overnighting" with threats of fines if you do. It would be great if there were updates to the POI database, i love to go go wild camping whenever i get the chance and there must be so many people who visit this site who would love to read more about your tales and experiences. I do not hold the answer to the this websites problems and do not wish punishment on anyone who has an opinion on a current political issue but if they could write to the Daily Mail instead, it might make this site a little more friendly.Lastly i blame myself for not contributing as much as i could have. Thank you Phil for asking my opinion.
