It's a sad day
When one of our Forum members has resigned from this Forum namely Tigerfish, I can understand why, and the sooner the Club realises a lot more will take the same action,I am not going to spell out what is wrong as the Club should know,suffice to say that there are many new members on CT that have only joined to pick a fight on a personal nature, I know as I have had abuse myself..
I joined this Forum in its infancy and many have fallen by the wayside due to Threads being closed by the Cyber Police for ridiculous reasons, in the early days everyone was friendly, but not any more, the Club should take a look before tis Forum goes down the Pan and more members call it a day including myself.
I have been in touch with other members who I have met and they think the same as me, I will give it a little longer to see if things improve and then make a decision, in the meantime Good Luck Tigerfish, I believe many on here support you,and you will be sadly missed for your excellent Threads and Posts
I'd better sign off now before this Thread is closed, as the Club do not like criticism

Happy Easter

I always enjoyed TF's posts.
There are many improvements which could be implemented on this forum, too numerous to mention them all, but threads being hijacked and the multiple software errors, must be among the most urgent.
There is also a problem with the use of personal insults directed at specific named individuals. I can see how anybody of a nervous disposition may be put off posting by this.-- Experienced forum users are not affected, as we see it as an admission by the "usual suspects" that they have nothing really to contribute to thread.
The items mentioned above, with the exception of the software issues, are easily remedied by good moderation.
So to TF -- All the best ------- I will most likely see you appear on one of my other forums.

We all new some time ago the forum was fast loosing it's sparkle as I called it some time ago , but it has become very dim of recent,
I fully understand the rules had to be brought in and implemented , the forum was becoming out of hand to the point of being down right nasty and personal ,
Those of us who have been on here since the beginning have certainly noticed the changes some for the better some for the worse, I to was rather bemused by the closing of so many threads in past days but can't comment because I missed them
IMHO I think the forum is becoming or has become what the CC originally wanted which was a caravan / motorhome Travelling discussion forum only,
wherever you are TF take care and good luck

There is still some good and useful stuff on CT, sites, travel, wildlife etc for the rest i'm ambivalent
wish general chat was less of a one man band.
People dip in and out of CT all the time including TF so i'm pretty sure we will see him again0 -
This is a bit of a Groundhog day thread as we've said farewell to TF a few times....and as always I say, you're welcome back!
Maybe the new website in May will be different, lets hope there are lots of improvements (Groundhog day again probably, but you never can tell....

Well I don't really care if tiger fish goes or not but I am now intrigued as to what was in the easter egg post!
TG's post had been pulled before I saw it too, but I suspect it was to do with
thisWrite your comments here...Once again Molly, your on the ball !.

I saw, completly agreed with, and liked the orginal post about certain items being rebranded so that they did not offend certain groups. However it was clearly straying into religion which is against the
guidelines which we have all signed up to.0 -
I read the heading It's a Sad Day and thought Oh dear, someone has died. I'm glad it's nothing serious.

I thought this thread would be hidden away in the depths of CT that hardly anyone reads, bleeding typical

Such a shame when a member who can give good advice and sensible comments feels forced to leave a forum because of some over-zealous and unnecessary moderation......
Good luck TF.....I've sent you an email.
Ian, you me and quite a few others

...No I don't think the rules will change Ruby, we started off without rules and that didn't work either.

I can never understand why people join, accept the rules, then proceed to break them. What do they expect to happen? The rules are there, like them or not. We follow them or accept the consequences if we break them.
Likewise, it's illogical to complain when threads are moved to their correct place. What is the problem with that?

+1 I can only assume that they think the rules do not apply to them?

I don't think it has anything to do with PC, discussion on certain topics are not allowed on this (caravaning) forum, politics is 'un-PC' but is still not allowed. The club ownes the forum, they decide the rules which you agree to, if they wanted to stop
posts on ice cream that's up to them isn't it?0 -
No, Husky, it's run by the Community Manager and other staff. The Champions perform moderation tasks but don't run it. There is a difference.
I don't know why you let it get to you.

Yes the club owns the forum
but its run by the mods .......... who follow the rules laid down by the Club management, they have a job to do and do it well
Sad days are awful events that happen around the world, this is just another member deciding this forum is not for him.

That's very true, Dave. TF quitting CT again isn't on a par with the events in Belgium.

May be when political correctness has been kicked into touch the likes of TF will be back,hope its not too long...
I have like many of you wished TF all the best in the past and do so again now but to expect the rules and regs to change is fantasy. I too was a member who resisted the change from just posting on GC to posting on separate categories but the reality was
that when we all posted on GC it was near imposable to find an old post or even a day old post disappeared under the pile of new ones.I still post on GC and find that it sometimes gets moved but the mod’s have a job to do based on the rules and I accept that. I can be as much a rebel as anyone but have learned that banter and humour can get you further.
I took some time out from CT as I did not like the direction some of the members were taking it but have come to realise there is room for all points of view and that is what makes CT interesting and mostly friendly.
So happy posting to old and new members.
