Wor Thread

[EuroTroll]

Just trying out an idea. On 'Spicing Up the Forum', Airshifter suggested we have a section of the forum which is unmoderated. How about just one thread? We could have a few feuds settled here, and a few banned members voicing their grievances...

Why not?

If you're against the idea though, Mark and moderators, just close/delete this and sorry for the inconvenience!

[airshifter]

I could be a good or bad thing, depends on how the members handle it. The forum that does it still moderates but with less restrictions. You for instance could get away with calling someone a douche or idiot for supporting brand or team X, but cursing and personal threats were still not tolerated. On that forum it worked OK because after a period you identify the hotheads that will never listen to any opposing view, and few members would bother to engage them.

I don't spend much time in the racing forums other than the F1 section, but a lot of the F1 people are obviously very passionate in their views. It could just as easily spiral out of control and become a nightmare to keep in line.

If you'd like I could PM you and insult you to within a fraction of my "forum life".

Thanks for the offer, but I'm not a masochist.

I just thought it might be a good idea to concentrate all the negative stuff into one place. There is bound to be some negative stuff, isn't there... Instead of it spoiling other, perfectly good threads.

For instance, we could discuss here how BDunnell and Daniel merged into a 'BDaniel' on the Savile thread...

A thread there was no need, in my opinion, to lock.

I happen to share that opinion.

I said calm down, and many posters, including yourself, basically said "**** you", so yeah it needed closing.

Because, personally, I thought there was no need to calm down. Still, each to their own.

Wow....When opening the thread I'd feel like opening Pandora's box.....

I agree. It was fairly light hearted I thought, but perhaps it looked insulting to a none native English speaker? The Savile case is still very much in the news so its likely going to come up in conversation again when we learn of more evidence. Hopefully they will re-open the thread.

Agree completely.
