    Thank you for all the kind and thoughtful comments about the bullying tactics being used by a few (about five!) posters on here.

    But don't worry, as I said somewhere else, this sort of thing didn't bother me at school, so I'm sure I won't be letting it bother me at this stage in my life.

    Be assured that I will be continuing with my balanced and reasoned comments......even if a small group disagree with them Smile

    OK, call me naive if you likeEmbarassed I can't for the life of me put a name to any of the "famous five". I admit
    that I tend to steer clear of animated discussions, not for me anymore, having spent time on the naughty step. I do tend to use the "like" button instead and may have inadvertantly "liked" somebody when scrolling on my tablet
    Innocent Sometimes,
    my animosity gets the better of me and I feel that I have to stick my oar in so to speak, but never (in my opinion) to the detriment of other members. I actually thought that CT had improved over  the last few months. Maybe thats what comes of being a new
    dog owner, it makes people more tolerent and agreeable,  perhaps we should all have dogs, the world  and forums would be a better place would they not? Sorry, I mentioned the D word in the wrong thread....
    Cool

    Write your comments here...I'm really pleased to hear this Ian. Decent members are never bothered by their bullying tactics. They never bother me.

    This is a nice, gentle forum and there is no need for them to do what they do best -- It causes disharmony within the forum and causes threads to be closed down. 

    Cool

    Folks

    The Caravan Club does not tolerate bullying on it's forum.

    If you feel you are being bullied - contact the Community Manager and she will investigate.

    Vague references to other members as above are unhelpful and do not support the aims of Club Together.

    To be clear - if you feel you are being cyber-bullied, hit the report button!

    Cheers

    Bugs

    I don't know about 'famous five', more like secret seven as I've no idea who is 'in' or 'out'. As for alter egos, there are a few egos that could do with altering. Why can't people behave like grown-ups?

    I've no idea about who is supposedly in these five, six or sevens either CY

    But I endorse your suggestion encouraging adults to "behave like grown-ups"

    We can only hope!

    I think we would need to ask the instigator of the term famous five to determine who had a different opinion to them. I wonder who that might have been?Undecided I wonder if they, whoever they were, came up with the other derogatory terms?

    I'd be happy to name the famous five, if you like Bugs.

    Please confirm that it won't contravene the CT rules to do so.......although I'm not sure that anyone can be so naive as to not to be completely aware.....especially if, as we are told, mods have to read every thread.

    You've read the Community Guidelines Ian. You know what they say about being kind, respectful, polite, considerate and taking responsibility.

    If you have an issue with any fellow-members, either individually or in a perceived "group", the guidance is clear - contact the Community Manager.

    I only offered because you appeared to be unaware, Bugs.

    Yes I have read the guidelines and that was why I asked whether you wanted me to politely name the characters in question.

    I understand the guidance concerning contacting the Community Manager, but also expect that we can rely on you, as a moderator, to spot deliberate bullying and take action before the need (and attendant delay) of 'reporting' such activity.

    Thank you.

    Ian

    Name your "characters in question" with supporting evidence to the Community Manager & she will decide if any "bullying" has taken place.

    If the Champions spot any activity which breaches the Community Guidelines, they do take appropriate action and also alert the CM.

    However, the Champions are member volunteers and cannot guarantee to be here 24/7 reading every post.

    Cheers
