It's ridiculous to have a forum with rules but it seems no-one has the balls to enforce them.
Facts are you can't post personal attacks but it seems most do and nothing is ever done. Just warning after warning. I think the administrators on this forum are as soft as Aaron Fiora.
Also the swear filter is a joke. Again warning after warning and nothing ever done.
The worst of it is that posters can get away with blatant racism nothing done. I think racist posts should be banned from the forum altogether and posters who repeatedly do this should be ousted.
The administrators are to blame for the low standard of postings from this otherwise reasonable forum
Seriously, how would you know what goes on behind the scences?
You are making assumptions based on what you think rather than (dare i say it) the facts in this case.
Fact - we delete alot of crap from here, pages of it to be honest and to put it bluntly you wouldn't know about the bulk of it because you don't get to see it.
As for "the administrators are to blame for the low standard of postings from this otherwise reasonable forum"
Give me a break how about some posters on here take some repsonsilbility for what they post and their behaviour before they post it.
Oops..... I'm sorry I forgot life doesn't work like that these days does it, we live in a society where people simply blame everyone else for the woes of the world rather than people taking responsibility or if that doens't work we just pass the buck to someone else
Seriously, if we are doing such a terrible job why do you stay?
I've said this many times but we cannot spend ever waking moment on this site.
I wasn't on here yesterday because heaven forbid I decided to spend the day with my family - probably a disgraceful decision but that's me,
As for the racism thing.
Have you ever thought for just a second that perhaps there is a reason some it doesn't get edited or removed? Think about it and you may just be able to work it out, let me know if you can't and I'll spell it out for you
Finally, it's bloody easy to take "pot shots from the cheap seats"
Harsh reality is this what you may find offensive others don't... where do you suggest the boundaries be set?
At your moral compass or mine? And whos to say either is right, wrong or indifferent?
And yes Mr Tigra, you've hit a nerve big time because on this topic as Peter Finch in his Oscar winning role in Network said "I'm as mad as hell and I not going to take it anymore"
Sorry WP. I retract my final statement. Sorry for being offensive to the good work done.
I too don't spend all day or night here couldn't be bothered. My angst really is the perception of mine that it seemed to me that personal attacks were becoming more & more prevelent. I would think suspending them (posters that do this) would be a good deterent.
If you do suspend them then well & good.
I still do enjoy visiting & reading when I can be bothered. I offer an opinion when I feel like it. I enjoy the difference of opinion. But I think it's weak as pee when posters feel the need to get personal over an opinion. Let's see if they would be man enough to say it face to face. If they met me I would highly doubt it.
If we could express opinion and debate those opinions & ideas without personal attacks then this would be a more enjoyable experience for all.
