Time Warp

No point looking at Trust Pilot as the specific site being reviewed isn't mentioned. Totally worthless.

I do like checking on Latest Activity, not necessarily for comments but for reviews especially of CLs. Many a time my interest has been piqued by a review and I've checked it out and sometimes ended up staying at that CL because of what I've read.. Sometimes I've avoided one for the same reasons.

I do think we're also seeing a decline in posters due to them retiring from touring and some through passing away. They're not being replaced in any number so CT is contracting.

The biggest problem with CT is the number of 'content removed' posts.

I agree that some posts may be considered offensive or inappropriate, but many others that I've read prior to removal are, in my view, just opinions. Once you start to stifle opinion and debate then people will lose interest.

To make things worse, the post just hangs there with 'Content Removed' on it, making the poster feeling like they're on the naughty step, with everyone else wondering what was said. It would much better if the post was removed in its entirety.

Then theres the fact that CT is just old, clunky and years out of date. Its no wonder that younger members, used to the like of Facebook and Tik Tok, can't be bothered

Oh, how so true.

What is annoying is if you ask a question and if there is a thread that is years old and probably outdated, your question is moved there and then becomes lost as no one wants to scroll through pages and pages of posts to find the answer to their question.  I can understand your question being moved if the thread is perhaps 3 months old as it will be reasonably fresh.

I don’t understand your comments, Surfer. Threads can be moved to different sections but posts cannot be moved from one thread to another.

The anomalies here are a useless search facility which prevents people finding old info and, perversely, ancient threads coming to the fore in a haphazard fashion for no appreciable reason. 

A couple of points if I may.

Surfer, if for some magical reason you start a new thread with the same title as one that already exists your posting seems to automatically be placed in the old thread. Can't explain why but that seems to be what happens. 

On the point about "Content Removed" messages. In an ideal world if a post was deleted it should completely disappear from view so that all but the original poster would be none the wiser? The reason you get a series of posts with Content Removed applied to them is that the original post is probably off topic or against T&C's so therefore once the original is removed the following posts in response don't make sense so also have to be removed to try and keep the thread on topic.  

Hope that helps
