Looking for a friendly place :)

The UK boards really must have become the wasteland everybody is saying they have if people  have to  resort to posting in another country.

Permanently cast out members having to trawl around to other countries to post?  is this what will happen or is happening in OZ?

Should members be permanently veto'd or should a lengthy veto suffice for a gross violation, not just the petty interpersonal reports.

What constitutes a permanent veto, surely not on the back of some members who  gang up on another to drive them off?  that is a true violation of what the boards were.

This is a debate we should be allowed to have, in fact we should be allowed to hotly debate, have robust debate,  as long as its civil.

All posters are worthwhile, but some posters are more worthwhile than others 🙂

Is there a scale?

Without posters and differing opinions and interests, there is no forum 🙂

Precisely my sentiment Az.

Scale? ......hmmm that is a matter for the individual poster making the assessment, but yes there is a scale and that would vary with the topic.

Podds, the new Board Usage Policy finally addresses the issue of malicious reporting.

It has finally been included as a recognized breach.

"Misusing the Report link to maliciously or frivolously report posts"

They've also removed any mention of Off Topic Posting

Could you please post a link to the new Board Usage Policy?

I can only find the old one  (link below) which is on the left side bar.

Thanks, crikey.

eBay need to update the Board Usage Policy link on the sidebar.

This forum would be a poorer place if you weren't here Poddster.  I have noticed there is a few "departed" that should still be here but a couple that should never be allowed back imo.

I am  glad the reporting or overuse of it has finally become a violation and then there is the so called mass reporting that has gone on here for many years, maybe they will think twice now before they engage in that activity.

As for reporting anybody you don't agree with?? that's  infantile and maybe they should think about why they are on here. I wonder if they keep score of just who are the few who indulge in this?
