not being to regular on here a question do the mods on here always delete a lot of posts and stifle debate with their "friendly reminders" post they make in many threads as i am seeing happen now?

seems so sterile doing that and it seems to stife banter and debate

so am i allowed to make a post like this or will i get into trouble?

I've been here for a few months now and from what Ive noticed they tend to stifle most serious debate and class it as interpersonal dispute.

There is a fair amount of bickering that goes on within the boards here. Which I quite like, I find it amusing to a certain extent. But I think some here take the whole forum thing way too seriously and some get offended and "report" posts they dont like way too quickly.

Thats just my opinion though...

I think something is not working as I see some obviously interpersonal posts that get no mention yet seemingly public threads attract that label?

I must have a different view of interpersonal...............................

as for asking re male/female ratio...... I can't see a reason it was not allowed.

I am scanning and cutting with a machine, lots of hands free time for me and my PC is a touchscreen, win win. The OH is out with his dad at a car show. (one of my worst nightmares)

The moderation means you have to choose your words more carefully, but you can still get your message across.

I don't mind it, it's a challenge! 🙂

just means that its over moderated and any flowing banter and debate is stifled and deleted and you are treated like a naughty child

its how you kill a forum and turn it into a grave yard.... and thats what will happen on this one and is happening

over moderation and over control

You are not allowed to call a spade a spade. Perhaps before a post can be posted a message such as "Are you sure you want to post that?" would help. Spontaneity is stifled. It can take me ages to compose a reply so as not to appear hostile interpersonal, off topic etc that by the time it is ready, the conversation has moved on so my post no longer has relevance or the thread gets locked while I am still writing.

Perhaps a matriarch with a background in the union movement can be seconded into forming a Posters Union United. Subscription could be made in kudos.

I have one or two in mind who would excel at it 🙂

You don't always have to call a spade a spade. You can call it a digging implement and everybody still knows what you mean.

most ppl anyway...

It was harmless though, an opportunity to respond politely. It also seems you can't ask questions of some posters.

I am left wondering why some are so special.

Third time today a thread was locked or the post was removed while writing when I wrote a response to the thread this is about.

It's no great loss that it was removed anyway seeing as it was just a sexist attack on the women who post here.

That's not banter, it's just hostility for the sake of having a dig at women.

seriously? there is so much 'man bashing' that goes on here that I would have thought turnabout is just fair play.

I'd prefer a hunter gatherer.That way we might get dividends and a tax loophole.

It might seem harmless but that sort of everyday sexism just adds to the nasty noise about women online.

Where's all the everyday man bashing?

Must be in threads I don't go to.
