To be honest, I haven't come on tonight and thought 'I don't agree with these discussions so I want them stopped' I personally think each to his own, but some of them are purile and never would have come into being if it wasn't for some sort of tit for tat type thing about having threads heavily modified. I just think it's degenerated into nonsense that doesn't make anybody look remotely good, let alone the site. Then there are some 'current affair' threads that in my view and clearly others, just blatant trolling.
I don't think changing or adding to mods was ever suggested and is something for John to decide. I also don't think it would go to an open vote somehow.
My point is that everyone should just cut this circle of posts that seem as though they are posted to draw attention to get banned and then start the next one complaining about getting banned which then degenerates and gets banned and so on and so on. That's what I see happening, maybe I am wrong and in that case I will return to my road section without further comment. Otherwise while I see the humour in a lot of it, I also see a lot of shit stirring going on. I am also fine with free speech and religious and political views being discussed if that's what people are into, as long as it's conducted in a decent manner, which hasn't been happening here lately.
I am leaving you guys to it to hopefully sort it out as I don't generally post much here anyway. I also have a funny feeling John will be along soon wielding a big stick

I do wish you had read the thread from the beginning. It was asked why a particular thread had been locked. That thread was launched and recognised as a baiting thread, from the very first post, most of us recognised its intent and went a million miles out of our way, taking note of the requested change being asked for and we had three pages where we talked instead about fruit, veg, aftershave and even clangers to avoid it going down the obtuse route.

Because it was locked, even though petty much everyone sought to make it a humerous thread, a simple hey guys what is going on, you asked for change, almost everyone in the thread did change their approach, so it was seeking clarity as we moved forward.

When a change is asked for and the change is provided but still gets locked is it too much to ask what else do you feel we can do as we have shown people are trying?

Re:

A shit post is a shit post. The diversion stuff kept elevating the original intent.

I get where you're coming from so let's stop flogging a dead horse pov and move on.

I had read it from the start and my thoughts are still the same.
