LadyG Posted November 22, 2018 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 (edited) The amendment is in bold, the rest unchanged: "Posting any material, anywhere on the site, that is deemed to have a primarily political theme that is not strictly related to inland waterways and/or boating is prohibited. In addition, content containing a religious theme, or content that makes commentary on religious issues, is not permitted. Exceptions to this rule may be made in special circumstances with prior approval of the Site Administration."

I thought my comments were both relevant and pertinent, but perhaps I misunderstood the meaning of your post 15? "... But that is not a new rule. It is a rule that has been in place for two or three years and widely ignored with the blessing of Dan and the mod team"...

The problem is 99% of the time there are NO consequences to misbehaviour on here. And 1% of the time there is. What sort of way is THAT to treat us children? Even reporting posts/threads that clearly breach the guidelines usually results in a 'well its not really doing any harm' type of rebuttal and refusal to take action.

But there a LOTS of threads about politics. This is not about the Brexit thread specifically. It is about having rules and not enforcing the most of the time, then occasionally enforcing them with no warning. Hardly a professional way to run a forum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasnt online yesterday when it bit the dust. I must say I am a bit sorry as many of us had played quite nicely even you lot on the wrong side of the debate ? I think I have gleaned today that it was locked cos of a bloke who posts on a self moderating playground and a caravaner!! flippin shame. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machpoint005 Posted November 22, 2018 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 Well, yes, I was dealing with the immediate causes of recent actions. As I've said before, Dan's site, Dan's rules, even if they appear inconsistent. IMHO the site owner and his agents do not have to justify their actions to any greater extent than they wish, and we the members can like it or lump it. Not a complaint - just a stark fact. 1 minute ago, mrsmelly said: I wasnt online yesterday when it bit the dust.

system 4-50 Posted November 22, 2018 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 I am most impressed that the Brexit thread managed to last as long as it did without descending into personal insults more than briefly.

doratheexplorer Posted November 22, 2018 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 A lot of moaning about inconsistencies in the rules, and I suppose I understand it but instead of moaning about the rare occassion that rules were enforced, why not rejoice that the rest of the time we get left alone? There are plenty of online forums which are far more heavily moderated than this including ones in which every single post has to be pre-approved by a moderator (and the moderators don't check for days). If you're really that bothered about getting warning points and closed threads then don't break the rules. Simple. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
