Keep to the point

so, if you have an opinion or view on a subject it would seem your not allowed  to air it  on CT, 

Of course you can if it is germane to the discussion. If not then start a new discussion. Simple!

I have noticed that some members, rather than help another by giving a useful reply, prefer to make a smart comment or climb on their favourite hobby horse. A. Member with what seems to them to be a serious problem can do without these remarks. 

Perhaps the worst of these could be removed by the monitors.

Hi Ray

A number of the Community Guidelines do cover the situations you are describing, including hijacking of discussions etc

A particularly relevant Guideline is this one:

We all stray off topic from time-to-time but please don't hijack discussions that are about a specific subject or that are asking for advice. You may mean it as light hearted fun, but it can be interpreted as troll like behaviour to other users and can
put new contributors off from taking part.

The CC Staff and Champions do step in where this gets out of hand, but of course it would help if everyone on the Forum remembered that they have signed up to the Guidelines and posted accordingly.

Hope this helps.

Cheers

Bugs

 

The responses to this indicate that there are plenty of users who  regard this as a problem. 

I am pleased that staff and Champions do step in, but I wonder how often. However, yes Bugs  your comments do help.

Happy Christmas to all! (Off thread I know)
