Yet more reasonable moderator behaviour

[Will Hay]

A post recently appeared requesting a source for striking railway workers, which was clearly made in jest.

My contribution, along the same lines, was 'availability' from Bachmann of executives taking bonuses whilst overseeing a poor service.

Comments have been removed, citing 'offensive messages have been removed' and the entire thing locked.

Is this really the best way to represent the giant that is Hornby?

Is our hobby representative of the older generation, who appear completely intolerant at times?

Not for the first time, this is a perfect example of the heavy-handed tactics of moderators on this site who do nothing but turn people away from the official Hornby forum.

Regrettably, the clique that exists here prevents any meaningful debate on this topic and at times, the tone of responses I've seen to new members who come here not understanding that Hornby employees don't contribute, is shocking.

Do better.

Will, Rob, Willie whatever your name is..........this Forum was ticking over very nicely until you decided to make a silly post to which some took an adverse view and you now have the audacity to complain about the moderators who have a responsibility to follow the guidelines laid down by Hornby precisely to avoid any unpleasantness.

When are you going to realise that YOU are causing the unpleasantness by your unreasonable comments.

Incidently, there is no clique as you put it, just a handful of amicable, long standing members who genuinely strive to maintain a friendly and informative Forum.

Thank you for demonstrating that there is absolutely no room for criticism of any kind on this forum.

Mod note - from the rules...
