teflon2 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Confused, I've just looked on chatterbox to find a thread that keeps refering to my being on motorhome matters where it seems as anyone who no longer has a motorhome should not be, ( I was sure I was on chatterbox ) two protagonists were at it hammer and tongs (as usual) and having just returned from Devon I've missed out on a free lunch just over the border in Dorset. Think I'll go and have a nervous breakdown. I also think I know where the missing thread went. John 8-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antony1969 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 It probably didn't get pulled because other than boring to death everyone with an old argument there was nothing wrong with the thread As far as I am aware no swearing , no dirty talk , no word of the moment Bigotry involved , just an old argument between two old friends .....if you don't like reading it then simply don't read it The mods surely have better things to do than jump in every time a schoolboy fight happens , arguments happen in the real world , you gladly pay your TV licence to watch arguing and bickering on Corrie and Eastenders and that's fiction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepe63xnotuse Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 arthur49 - 2014-06-04 2:17 PM The thread I thought had been removed has simply been shoved into Chatterbox where the polluters continue to pollute ..... :-( I've always thought that, rather than just "silently" moving or pulling a thread, it would be far more effective if there was an *official comment posted, naming the persons involved and the reasons for the thread's imminent deletion/move..(*That's a b*ll*cking to you and me! ;-) ) At least then it may( MAY?) put an end to the ridiculous situation we have now, where the very people involved in these thread disruptions, continue posting as if it's deletion was none of their doing..!

euroserv Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 I completely agree and would suggest that if members of this forum persistently carry on their arguments to the detriment of newbies getting the welcome that they deserve and the constructive comments that they require they should be warned and then banned. This kind of crap serves no purpose except to make this site a joke, and the kind of joke that I don't want to be associated with. I also feel that if one or more of us has taken the trouble to flag something offensive to the Moderators that they should have the courtesy to acknowledge this.

N Without wishing to sound like an a**e l****r Nick I only hang around this forum for input from experts like you. I'm keen to learn more about my Ducato and preventing/fixing faults if/when they arise - though its still under warranty. For the record I too contacted the Moderators, twice, on 27 and then 30 May, without a response. Let me know if you move to another forum!!!

Unfortunately, Nick, although warning MAY do some good for a while, banning a 'persistent offender' does not prevent him resurrecting himself immediately under another user-name. (I can confidently say "himself" because the lady forum participants have better manners and more sense than to engage in verbal brawling.) This forum has always been wide open to abuse. A technical solution exploiting a participant's computer's IP address might help to keep a banned person banned, but I don't see Warners spending money changing the system to include something like that. Making the forums pay-to-join should help to reduce abuse and making it pay-to-post would definitely discourage arguments and drivel, but I doubt if there'd be anyone participating then. Short of continuous oversight I can't see things improving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teflon2 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Perhaps I'm thick but if you know that a thread contains things you object to why not just ignore it once you've read it the first time, why run crying to the mods surely we are all adults here.

Exactly. I guess that 5 years ago they would have run crying to the mods if anyone had questioned Sir Jimmy Savile OBE KCSG . Censorship should be a last resort. Not the first response to something you would rather brush under the carpet..
