Notice to our members - Behaviour.

[CharlieH]

Since the takeover six months ago, the forum has undergone significant changes. While it’s not the forum it once was—and that's a good thing—changes in management, improvements in technical resources and a new team of moderators have made it better. Yet, many of you complain about the lack of topics while contributing very little yourself. You expect to be spoon-fed, taking everything the forum offers while giving only negative toxic comments in return. 

 

Trolls exist in any online community. Until they are identified, we give them the benefit of the doubt, just like anyone else. Once identified, they are removed. We can’t monitor every post around the clock, so we rely on you to report any issues. Be part of the solution, not the problem.

 

The derogatory comments aimed at our news, sponsors and advertorials are unjustified and disrespectful. Even worse are the inflammatory remarks on articles related to charitable foundations. If you have nothing positive to say, move on. There are plenty of other topics and forums for you to vent on.

This forum is free for you to use. Many of you have enjoyed it for years and repaid us with accusations and attacks. We're drawing the line here.

 

We are committed to a respectful and supportive environment. Constructive feedback and healthy discussions are welcome, but persistent negativity and toxic behaviour will not be tolerated. If you’re so dissatisfied, perhaps it’s time to find another platform. The internet is a big place.

 

 The forum is evolving in a very positive way and we won’t let a few bad apples, or sour old men, spoil the hard work that goes into it.
