Awww.. Did I miss a fight?????

As far as MODs stepping in-or not.. i think they should step in more often than they do, bad manners and insults are easy to spot and no one wants to see that kind of thing on our forums..

Sadly I have seen remarks made that a MOD should have at least commented on, better still deleted and warned the poster to behave better innit..

But -- Overall when you take into account the huge number of posts made, and the few MODs available, policing is as good as can be expected..

We can of course do a lot of "modding" ourselves. if someone is out of order, we can all politely remind them of the rules here innit..

No you didn't miss any fight, but fair point by moding ourselves, i had to report a joke a few weeks back that although a play on words was disgusting, it took a couple of goes but a mod did take it off, but was on the site for a couple of weeks

Then there is always this problem...

What people type onto the forums can be read as being totally different to what the originating poster (OP) intended. What we lack here is body-language and voice inflection. Emoticons (smilies) can help, but even with these, the message can be easily misconstrued.

Therefore, the point of view of the OP can be read to mean something completely different to what the OP intended, whether meant factually, humourously or otherwise. Many of us have been on the wrong end of the stick on this point....

Please be aware of this when you post, and then re-read your posts before posting, from a neutral point of view, or other ....

Carry on folks, in a self-moderating form of course

Your comments are being taken on board.... and assessed....

The difficulty is where is the point that moderation becomes excessive ? The balance is a constantly moving goal post

Hm, debatable i suppose..... But in the case of Gary,,,,

He really should have reported this person to the moderation team.... Quite angry at you for that Gary as he is still on here...

(Although, not that mad...

but most on here are good folk and i am glad of of met many in person and via getting a 75 and getting involved in this and other clubs even gone to the far side of germany and meeting 75 owners over there which i would never of done otherwise .

we need a social side to here as well as all the car stuff and at times learn to be nice to each other as at times some seem to of lost that skill

not all of us are great writers and some may not be good face to face , some certainly can be very on their hi horse just cause some one don't write as well as they think they should . some things on here can be

and some should be kept private and not on general forums for others to see ,as it is mainly a car club.

but we are all people and where possible most will help others on here if they can .
