Posting on Club Together

Posted on 03/07/2023 18:32 by Wherenext

A couple of questions if I may.

1. Rowenna announced that new guidelines would be introduced "soon" but that was some 6 weeks ago. Are we any nearer to seeing them or have they been issued and I've missed the announcement.

2. Part of your post now quoted unfriendly nature of some posts towards others or the Club continues, Can you define unfriendly nature as it pertains towards the club. I fully understand the "towards others" aspect but are you inferring that no criticism of the club will be tolerated? Where does the line stand for crossing it? What exactly constitutes "unfriendly nature"?

A bit of clarity might help focus members attention.

Does "unfriendly" include asking for a response from a person who asks a question and then does not respond to advice!

Hi KieranBSMM. I am 76 years old and don’t like being talked down to, patronised and generally being treated like a juvenile delinquent. There are better ways of making a point other than adopting a condescending tone and heavy-handed censorship. 

Over the years I have come here from time to time, relatively infrequently, with long breaks after getting fed up with the frequency of “content removed” posts as if we are not capable of making our own judgement and ignoring anything which seems “unfriendly”. 

I also occasionally visit a couple of motorhome forums where people manage to get along with the odd “robust” exchange, without the censor’s red pen intervention.  Your attitude just seems to confirm a suspicion voiced by not a few that both Clubs are not being run for the benefit of members in so many ways. 

I had just finished making a helpful, friendly post which I hope the OP will find useful, but I really will not be coming back to CT again as I believe freedom of speech is too important to be left in the hands of unaccountable “moderation”.

Kieranbsmm, its also polite to introduce yourself with a few words before cracking your whip.

To be fair he did on page 4 of the Smart Metering Trial thread.
