The Nonymice Movie2

There is no reason why the section can't be self policed and that takes the onus off the moddygyrators who have enough to look after elsewhere on the site. Any possible infringements of the rules can be passed onto them and they can deal with it in the normal way by loads of red pen everywhere...

Why not try it for a week or so, see how it works and then see what should be done.

I for one think it would be a shame to get rid of this entire section. I also think it would alienate people just as making the entire site a paid members only one. All sites I have seen, whether big or small and regardless of their subject matter have an area where people can let off steam, have a laugh, discuss matters of the day an so forth. These areas vary in the rules allowing language etc but they are popular and well used. Most of these sites also have a chatroom too. And as long as those of us who use this section on a regular basis don't use profanities or be offensive, then I personally don't see any reason to close it. If the moddygyrators don't have time to check the threads due to length, thats OK cos alot of the time we keep tabs on them ourselves and can report back to moddygyrators if anything has been done or said that may fall foul of the rules of the site.

I hope the section isn't closed, I would like to think that it won't be.

But then, I'm just one voice in a very big forum membership.

I'm caught in the crossfire here, Nigel is a friend and got me into BMW's, the club and the forums, but most of the people on these threads are also friends. If there is a good reason for closing these I have yet to hear it.

I have asked several times, by pm if they don't want it on view, for a reason why these threads MUST be stopped, I don't have much time at present to come on at present.but I support the right of free speech as long as there's no abuse or bad language. Several people have said no one is forced to read these threads, yet I'm still waiting to hear why they are so bad they must be stamped out.

Ok, it's a car site. There are/have been threads about Blair, ps games, politics, jokes, even Dr Who(must have a look at that one). None of them have been as rigorously policed. Will everything NOT directly car related be stopped now? Possibly, as Killian has posted his wish to end the non club issues bit. Do the majority agree with this? Got to go, Dr Who's on soon!

Decided to put away the mushrooms....got a figure to watch so now sat here with my mug of steaming camomile tea, nice and relaxed and ready for the onslaught of postings this evening

Right then, time to start the frivolickles....Ise sat 'ere munching my mushrooms still (who cares about the calories)...

If everyone behaves tonight maybe old Niggles might..might let this one last for the weekend..seeing as it is Bank Holiday

Bad language or anything deemed offensive should always be deleted but general silliness as long as its neither abusive or offensive does no harm whatsoever.

At the end of the day no-one is forced to read or take part in these threads...along with every other thread onsite.

In answer to you final post on 'Nutters' thread, Nigel, where I agree that this is a car site and yes there is a chatroom, at the latter end of the Neverending thread a chatroom was set up but the thread still continued, plus in a chatroom there is no continuity from one day to the next like on a thread such as this. These threads are a good place to unwind and relax and talk about nothing in particular, the chatroom is good for those without the various 'instant messaging' programmes and for those wishing to discuss meets etc that posting on threads isn't appropriate.

There are reasons for continuing these 'silly' threads as well as reasons to stop them. Abusive or offensive posts require stopping, no-one can or will disagree with that, but stopping them for the sake of stopping them, well to me anyway, that oversteps things a little.

The chatroom and these threads are not in any way the same thing, we can have fun in both but they are not the same.

erm Nigel..you know that box in your boot....



This, of course, refers to the new caption comp on central section....
