No not from here obviously or CWDF but 'Caravan Talk' a forum for all things caravanning.
there has been some recent mild dissent on there about one of the moderators in particular who had a nasty habit of goading people and then asserting his authority as a 'moderator'. Pretty unpleasant way of doing things.
some of us challenged him last night, very politely and courteously but it seems he has taken the hump and banned me and presumably the others too.
i only post really to point out that CWDF operated a similar system of dealing with dissent amongst the membership then probably half the membership would have been expunged by now not just the few that have recently. It actually makes CWDF look quite tolerant of open criticism given the very mild comments made.

Sounds like cwdf is not the only forum with problems.

I have been on there for a year under another ID and found some of the info. quite useful as a returner to caravanning. I just avoided some of the idiots and some of the idiotic comments and enjoyed sharing my knowledge. what I hadn't catered for was that one of the mods would turn out to be one of the biggest twats I have ever come across. He clearly delights in goading people in the full knowledge he ultimately can just warn or ban you. As I say it makes CWDF look vey democratic.

Mmmmm....
Seems my ban has been very short lived.
I am now back in.
But just noticed the following announcement has been made,
"Contentious topics:
Owing to the propensity to degenerate into argument, discussion of topics that are particularly controversial, such as those relating to personal religious beliefs and political subjects, are not permitted in the main forum areas, and discouraged in the members-only sections."
It seems that they have gone down the same route as CWDF despite a number of us lobbying for them not to. (which led to the 'debate' last night - now removed)

I doubt you'd get this sort of problem on a football forum...

I am a member on a football forum and it pretty much moderates itself, people know what is acceptable and what isn't and posts only get removed or hidden if there are legal implications. I think a certain forum should take note.

I doubt you'd get this sort of problem on a football forum... Its a shame really its all been banned. The heat of the 'debate' got no where near as close to being like the ones on CWDF apart from one the other evening which got really messy with threats of legal action against a mod (not by me I hasten to add) and retaliatory threats by the mod concerned resulting in a ban for the person concerned. It transpires the mod concerned regularly abuses his position and the forum 'warn' system and bans to silence people of opposing opinions. I was lobbying quite hard for them not to ban the topics just adopt effective moderation. I cited what has happened to CWDF after a number of us lobbied for the same on there, not expecting the outcome we now have but the management have gone down exactly the same route. We shall have to see if the outcome is the same.

Are you sure you've been banned, i find that hard to believe. Very funny. But yes I do believe I was barred (all be it temporarily) from accessing that forum.

as you've defected from boating to caravanning, you only have yourself to blame.
personally I would like to see everyone who supports the trailing of a box on wheels on our congested roads over summer weekends and holiday periods collected up and banned - full stop.
