If we picked up on every post that was contentious the forum wouldn’t be half the place it is today.

As others have said, it’s a forum, if you can’t handle it, and the odd falling out then not the place for you.

Perhaps we should have banned d4 then for threatening to punch someone’s lights out?

That’s a bit harsh, the admin have real lives & jobs apart from policing this place so you can’t expect them to sort out every skirmish going!

This is a decent forum, with mostly decent folk...so who cares if the occasional t**t makes silly remarks about your choices. Him leaving is his loss.

Just laugh it off.... :rofl:

But is it not your job to moderate every "Skirmish". Perhaps if you don't have the time maybe it's not for you. Or even recruit more moderators to help.

You are the only one that seems to have an issue with the mods. The same method of modding has been used on here for the last 10+ years and it works. If you don’t like how we operate then you know where the door is.

But does it work? I don't have any issues personally but if anyone dares say anything they get mobbed by replies. You must have the highest turn over of members due to falling out and mild skirmishes.

Food for thought, I get a lot out of this forum and read a lot of the posts so the door is not needed for me unless I don't fall into your sheep category then I may have to use it.

Are there really that many that have "flounced"..??

I don't get the whole "delete my account" mentality, just don't log on. I have been here a while, it's ok but nothing like other forums I have been on where it's kicking off every 5 minutes. There are some rude people on here but they really need to up their level if they are ever going to own a Supra or a Subaru. Not even a chance of standing out on a Ford or Vauxhall forum.... :D Levels of ignorance there are a different league...!!

It works I would say. Compare it to zedroaster.net. They have been round longer, have a 1/4 of the post count on here and just over half the number of members. We must be doing something right considering they cater for Z3 and Z4 models. :wink:
