This forum is NOT perfect. It was much better when it first went live. It could benefit from a number of improvements.
Some people need to clean their "Rose tinted Glasses"
Who has said its perfect, K? If you've read that then it is your glasses that need fixing. We all know it's not perfect but constantly moaning about the T&Cs on here and complaining when mods carry out the job they are tasked with is going to achieve nothing. Unhappy people like you should take matters up with CC or, if they chose to use the forum, do it according to the rules. Those very rules were put in place because of the mayhem caused in the early days when people posted with no thought for decency and no consideration for others.
I'm actually surprised that you still post here, K, given the numerous good forums you use.

K I think that the forum needs serious improvement in very many areas so i don't feel I fit into the forum is perfect brigade.
Since the forum was rearranged there have been many moans about how GC was better in the old days. Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't but it's been made clear that the structure will stay how it is.
So if GC is boring there are a couple of options. Put some effort into posting interesting discussions that are allowed within the T&Cs, take a look at other areas of the forum or find another forum. Constantly moaning about how boring things are is not
a solution0 -
TW and Jayess! I learn from your comments that CT is as perfect as is possible, and that any attempt to bring any improvement is not only unwelcome but must be resisted at all costs. Ok so be it! Happy to accept your absolute wisdom on
such matters. For myself, I still feel that CT has gone too far in respect of regulation. But obviously you are much more wise on such matters!Now what was that saying ? Rules are for the Guidance of wise men, and the absolute adherance of lesser souls!
I find discussions on the weather and what members are thinking of doing today quite riveting, but I think that I will gain more stimulation from doing a Crossword puzzle.
Guys its been fun, but this thread is also getting boring!
TF
Excellent post TF......you have hit the nail on the head.

Good point Jay, I read that there are plenty of forums out there that cater for all subjects frowned upon here on CT, I think someone called them 'grown up' forums. From what I understand-they have many of the posters who no longer post on here too
&
a jolly good time is had by all.0 -
I've heard the same, Rocky. I wish someone would name these grown up forums so we could take a look and see what proper debate looks like.

TF, so many times you intimated you were leaving the thread but you keep coming back
Really must be riveting for you.No need for sarcasm either, just accept that others have an opinion also and did you make your own rules up when serving as a Police Officer?

Regarding the "What are you doing Today" thread, small chats about everyday events are the stuff of life, it may not be riveting, it may even be boring but it's human contact on an easy going level and long may it continue....
There
is also a good amount of "chat" in General Chat about life events in general, people have been supportive and offered words of kindness for all sorts of things, I think TF you might agree with that?!0 -
Dave, it's quite shocking really, the amount of posters that bang on about CT being boring & over moderated & yet here they are posting away on a regular basis
I
just Luuurvvvve irony0 -

Good post, Dave. I'm rather concerned about a Police Officer turning a blind eye as well.

Find something interesting to post,easy said than done. Posters shouldn't open posts up if they don't like them. Two interesting statements, can anyone come up with a subject that everyone gets involved in? Most people are interested in politics, i am not
in any way saying open a post on politics, although there is one running at this moment in time. Don't open posts that you are not interested in, in the old days as many of you are putting it, although it isn't that long ago, people posted about politics and,
yes it did sometimes get heated but, posters that opened the posts up and objected to them didn't just leave they reported the thread, therefore when the thread got closed it wasn't the management it was the members that curtailed freedom of speech. By the
way why hasn't this thread been closed because it's definately political and, there are insults flying about.0 -

I hope police officers do, especially at three in the morning when I'm doing 80mph on the motorway.

Molly, nobody mentioned politics until you did.
You and others complain about moderation yet you think the thread should be closed. What point exactly are you trying to make?

I'm not sure where he said turn a blind eye but I hope police officers do, especially at three in the morning when I'm doing 80mph on the motorway.
That's not in the least bit funny, Furball.
Sadly, I liked your post in error.

May I say, DaveFL2.....you have the best avatar ever, with those flashing car headlights.
Very clever!
Most irrating avatar very annoying. They remind me of a little boy who likes to play with his toys. This is not a personal attack at you Dave just my opinion.

Tinny, the point I am making is many people find politics interesting, and as I wrote interesting subjects are really hard to find that will engage a majority of posters on here. I am not complaining about moderation, there are different types of politics,some
can be discussed on here,some cannot. What are people referring to when they keep on about the old days if it's not the political discussions that took place. I read your comments about the cc on another thread, you were complaining about a poster that you
thought didn't exist, I did notice however,when that poster said they were real you didn't apologise to him or to the cc staff that you maligned.0 -
Rocky, we used to enjoy a bit of banter about Yorks and lancs and very enjoyable to but, I have tried to have a bit of banter with posters from the south and been castigated for it, different sense of humour I suppose. As for irony I don't post much on here because of the blandness of some of the subjects. You used to get involved with the discussions in the old days did you not, in fact you left foot quite awhile I believe. By the way if you look at the J.C. thread you will notice that rather than prolong an argument with bugs I ducked out as I am going to now.

I maligned no one. I asked questions politely, MD. You should read it again.
Lets stick to the topic of this thread, shall we?
I don't know why you want to drag politics into everything. You know the T&Cs and you know how to contact CC if you're not happy.

Not all of us find politics interesting, or want to discuss them we joined a caravan and motorhome forum for that reason!

Write your comments here...Thank you for proving my point so well, --- I too mentioned that the forum could be improved --- See what I mean folks. The wrath of those people even extends to telling other people that they are unhappy and should go away just because they have the honesty to say that improvements could be made.
For the record I am happy and content with life, Forums to me are just a pastime and not as the TFIP Brigade appears, their raison d'être:.

Gee, K, that's quite some spin you've put on things. If it makes you happy, so be it.
