The very useful Swift Talk forum is suspended until 21 January..... not sure why but suspect it is due to Brexit and Covid themed topics getting out of hand. Disappointing as it is a very helpful forum with a lot of useful technical information.

More I think simply the innate behaviour of a few individuals, than the subjects?

Shame, as forums can be a useful information source, as well as a "socialising" tool, that is so needed now if ever.

Fingers crossed it can be purged and restarted anew.

Presumably you can still read past posts but not write new ones?

No, not even that, it is pulled till at least the 17th January when they will have determined where if anywhere they take their forum.

I have not used the forum for many years but when we had a Swift caravan it was very useful. A brave move from a manufacturer to get involved directly with customers. I could be wrong but I don't think they use external moderation which then puts a greater strain on their own staff and they seem to have voted with their feet just like SAGA did many years ago. I don't suppose the people that caused the problem will have any regrets, infact one often wonders if the disruption is deliberate?

To be fair I do remember they 'expelled' one of their posters and practically named and shamed him on their site when that poster started attacking by name posters on here. But yes it was done by their Ro equivalent not any mods.

My OH used to post on there way back, but after a few years it seemed to become dominated by a few very  vocal and opinionated well heeled male posters.    Lots of politics and arguments.
