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!

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.

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.

Not rebellion at all Ivan, just an offer to take some of the workload off the moddygyrators in respect to reading through the longer threads on this section. Reporting back to them and they doing the red pen bit will remain as it is now.

Not trying to rebel against anything, just puzzled at the hostility on htese threads, wouldn't you want to know why if they said you couldn't mention horses on site as they're not cars?

Don't forget the frilly knickers, horns, whips, body protection stuff....
But I agree with you Ian, it does seem strange that the goalposts have changed places on this, but as I said above, I am just a very small voice in a huge site.
