So, here's an example of the dilemma's of moderating the board.
Certain posters wanted a thread like this so they could air their views, and accuse of locking threads for our own ends, and others criticise us for allowing threads like these, claiming it allows bullying and abuse and calling for certain posters to be given a break from the board.
I think people have now had a fair chance to show others what they think, and this thread is only going to get worse than it already has been and result in bans, so I'm locking it.
Can I remind posters that we're all mods as we can self moderate what we each post, and if you have an issue with a specific comment, either press the report button or use the PM function to flag it with one or more of the mods for action.
If anyone is unhappy with how the board is moderated, feel free to start a thread seeking suitable replacements, and I and the other mods will be more than happy to go along with the boards decision, as after all, the board belongs to the posters, not the mods.
