Lots and lots of in fighting here now.
The mods should now be stepping in and taking action against certain people.
This place is no longer the happy fun place I joined a while back now. It has become a place where people have online fights....
and i find myself being more and more disillusioned.

what has changed, and what must it take to change it back?
it used to be friendly banter, now it's become nothing more than a slanging match, where one persons point of view is attacked, slammed against the door, and beaten out of him until he submits.

Now looking over posts from yesterday we have a MOD acting like a spolit child, thankfully this seems to have been taken away from him now.
I urge all other MODS to look at peoples posts and choose from them few who have been here some time...eg over a thousand posts and pick someone, not whom they like, but one who doesn't cause any bad feelings amongst others. Myself i would choose baggiebhoy, but i don't know if he would want it. His opinons are balanced, and he has a kind word for everyone, and I am sure he would help keep the boards clean.

So what your saying is that because your a MOD you not allowed to have an opinion ??? Its seems to me that in the main the Forums are a happy place. Its just we have one or two people who dont use the forums very often, come on, look through all the posts, and find ones they can be sarcastic about, and then stand back and let all hell break loose .................... There the people that should be slated .......... for not having the balls to stick around after they fuelled the fire ................... xx

And at the end of the day its a public forum and you always get a difference of a opinion and the occasionally slanging match, trust me, it was alot worse a few months back .................... x

I'm waiting ...................... x

there's a difference between having an opinion and being rude. Take scottie & caz as being 2 reasonable examples.

the mods can have an opinon, but they should NOT be swearing at members! I don't know what the hell happened yesterday, frankly i don't care much either.
It seems more and more that people are getting punsihed for having an opinon.
There is also a difference between having an opinon and behaving like a grown up.....it is obvious some people here can't do that.

good. cause then they can see exactly what types of idiots they are being. There should be a warning system here, offical type stuff. three warnings for any abusive language, spamming etc, and you're out.
