Hi Franc
thanks for your comment. I certainly agree with you - censorship is not a good thing. However, surely we can have some basic rules where by if you make posts personally attacking others using the 'F' and any other words like it then they should not be used. On the topic of private messages being published then that I think is a point in time where an administrator should step in and say a rule of the forum has been broken. Otherwise the word'private' has no meaning and the forum becomes like the wild west and anybody can abuse anyone without consequence. Belonging to a forum that has that potential is scary.

I'm also not in favor of people who troll the board with never a nice thing to say about anything, looking to start an argument. That's my opinion.

I am not sure what others think but, personally I would appreciate it if those that feel it necessary to carry on with a slanging match and start using inappropriate language that all of us have to read , stop doing so. I belong to other forums in other industries and we have a ruling were we professionally respect each other and are forbidden to publically abuse one another regardless if we agree or disagree with a comment. If we do not keep to this ruling then the administrator of the forum boots us off. There are simply better ways of getting your point of view across. If you feel you must get down to this level then do it privately to the person intended. Scott, what about stepping in here ? If not, then I feel Mopo has lost its way and will lose its members if this is the standard that is allowed to keep going forward.
