In my opinion, throwing people out of the forum is not a good idea as it will create divisions. I have seen them things happening in other places but i would not want that. I believe in freedom of expression. The person will naturally realise that they know its wrong. But i know i came out with silly ideas but its myself. I do make people laugh or angry but its my thing. If we want to see everything, we all have to be fair in here. But i know there are restrictions in this board but i do respect that. I do know myself that i preach out loyalty for that bus because of the design and the return of the open platform. But there are many people in life that do preach their own thing out like Religion...etc But people in life have that thing which they are fascinated with. Quod erat demonstrandum! Look at you using big words lol

This is near on bullying now - those of you that have posted things such as Latin or !! After such posts, you are now categorically more of a bung on this forum. I hope you feel pleased that you've sat there behind your computers, being such keyboard warriors. Instead of being the bigger person and sending said persons a nice and positive PM about quality of posts, you've all sat there and pseudonym'd your posts up into bullying. I'm ashamed to be part of this forum at this time. I think we have not reached that stage yet - no-one has been named and shamed, no-one has come on ranting and raving about how they hate the posts of member X. On the whole we have followed a debate from member Swadbus in his first post which I think a few of us agree with. Whilst it is still civil, I hope 'The Management' leave this thread open - at least we can discuss the problem without the thread being locked and the problem being ignored with valued members leaving. I think the point you made about PM to any member whose posts are 'questionable' is good - and indeed one of the Mods on page 1 mentioned he had tried to do this only to have his warnings ignored/not heeded. I think that 'The Management' of The Bus Forum need to respond - if we as members work with 'The Management' things can hopefully be improved. At least the posts with just smiles have stopped - and that was after intervention by the 'The Management'. If 'The Management' could confirm they accept the PM system mentioned or other measures they may implement we may see an improvement or perhaps a 3 strike system etc. after some guidance has been offered? As I mentioned in my earlier post, an issue does exist, we need to know what will be done/attempted.

It's almost as if this very topic is something that everybody has wanted to start but didn't. I for one won't be locking it. From a moderators point of view I'm liking that we as staff members are getting to hear what people think and I feel that this should be encouraged. If we can all work together, I know we can turn things around.

So what is the next step, confront the person that this tread was made for or just make more suggestions, etc.

No need for everyone to get worked up over it. It's the end of the world tomorrow! Tell me you didn't seriously believe that. Had so much people coming out with that yesterday and over the past week, was rather jarring. I don't see how a person can predict the end of the world.

I think banning would be out of order unless he's been warned that people aren't very impressed though if hes seen this thread I think he might have just got the message lol. I don't think so.. He strikes again.. ;D Just as long as it's not me... I have noted a proliferation of pointless surveys of late, on the most trivial things... I admit I post some silly pix now and then, but I think that it's become wading thru the mire to find information I need. I won't comment so much on the whole DWs for Tottenham thing as it's getting old... the catfights need to end, if people have a beef , deal with it via PM pls Hopefully things will pick up soon

Quite ironic that some of the posts on this thread have been quality.
I suspect people when they joined the forum were quite excited to find other human beings out there, who had the same interest in buses and transport, who they could discuss things when they had no one else to discuss it with, somewhere where they could find out things they could not find out themselves. So it is sad to find people feeling uncomfortable using this forum, and so I hope people consider why we all joined in the first place, and consider others in ths forum.
And finally, I missed the end of the world, and will watch it later on BBC iPlayer, so please noone tell me what happens ;D
