what happened to the rules

ausjack · September 16, 2013, 11:48:31 PM

I don't know what's going on but the forum seems to be slack and all over the place and getting worse so hopefully it picks up again soon..shame really as I quite liked it but I can't see the point in having rules if they're only for some members :whistle2: I think we had more active members before the big change but it does seem to float a lot so maybe they'll come back.

Not sure what you're talking about. Expliquez, SVP.

What's wrong AJ?

Steveqld · September 17, 2013, 07:40:15 AM

I suspect it was the use of the "F" word (or similar spelling) in a couple of posts - since removed.

I wasn't comfortable with it and we've all heard/used it (and worse) but there are women and children on the forum.

Then again it could be something completely different.

That would do it

I too was amazed at some of the naughty words being used. Although being mis-spelt, it tends to upset quite a lot of people and that sort of language is not required on a site like this.

Good on you for bringing it up Ausjack and for those can't use more polite words, then I suggest you might think about leaving this forum.

I am sure that it not just up to the moderators to fix these things up. It is the responsibility of all that use this medium.

The words were removed as soon as I found them. Thanks to the member that reported them and the offending member will be warned.

Glad to hear that markn. Keep up the good work and to those that brought this matter to the attention of the moderators.

They even made me look a second time and thank goodness no ladies sighted them.......or children come to that.

ausjack · September 19, 2013, 05:02:53 PM

Mark seen and fixed it up but it had nothing to do with language as that doesn't worry me at all and anyone that's spoken to me knows this :laugh2:

But one more thing I've noticed and it might be worth a thought and that's getting underage members address..just food for thought as things can happen and if you must send to a minor please do as I did when I wanted to surprise Nancy so I asked PP for her address and she wouldn't give it to me and I thought that fair enough and she was good enough to forward it on so maybe send to someone like a mod and get them to send 'cause I can see there will be a problem one day and that's one of the problems with having minors as members..just look at some of the trouble the card sites have had.

I agree
but maybe it's the over protective mum in me or the cynical social worker (ha ha)

Steveqld · September 19, 2013, 06:04:38 PM

I agree too.

I was never a victim but personally know 2 x chaplains, a Flight Lieutenant from the Air Force Cadets and a Flying Instructor all with an interest in 14 - 17 year old boys back in the 70's. Why risk it?

At least 3 of the 4 did time - never heard of the flying instructor after that.
