Delta tried that in June and it only flushed me out. Interestingly enough back then, I was following another thread on the excessive moderation & members getting banned on CWDF - funny how little has changed over there. No its got a lot scarier & worse, the moderators(?) are now intimidating and standing over any CWDF member who has the temerity to question them. So much for a "discussion" forum. Whats next, kicking in doors & dragging off the 'non conformers' in the early hours of the morning? Thankfully we have Delta9's 'Thunderboat' to try and balance out the narrowmindedness of the current CWDF moderator regime. Possibly block out some of the forum to none member but allow a taster section. Don't know, suspect it will grow with time and good posts. Don't think it would be any advantage. It is easy to join and there is no restrictions on who joins, so it wouldn't stop "snooping by others" but it might put off genuine new members who are either new to boat forums or are thinking of joining from any of the other forums. Better for them to see warts and all, some may be put off by the twatting twats twatting around the twatting site, but probably not that many. Posters who post something way out of line usually get pretty well jumped on by everyone else, which indicates that member moderation is not ineffective.

I hear where your going, difficult. And yes the member moderation does work as even the over enthusiastic member mods get jumped on. Nice balance

Crazy they do not even know that both sides knows all the evidence that the other has got before the matter goes into Court and that is required by the court's rules. lol If someone tries to spring a new piece of evidence on the other side Judges get upset. I am amazed as to how little they know about the process. I used to sit in court listening to cases as part of working out whether I could become a Mckenzie friend. Most evidence had been seen by both sides but every so often one side..normally the big guns.. would claim that a piece of evidence had only just come into their possession relevant to the case...and despite what the other said the judge always allowed it. It made me quite cross as justice seemed weighted against those who either could not afford representation or who had union representation. I didn't pursue trying to be a Mckenzie friend cos I just wanted to interfere and say summit at my perceptions of the injustice of "justice" I still visit the other side but rarely post..I think i keep hoping it'll go back to what it was.

Can't believe the neck of graham Davis, he really is the most sanctimonious prick on there, does he post anything actually worthwhile or is ' if you don't like how it's modded here go elsewhere' the basis of all his input?

johnv - I don't understand why you can't read the 6 pages of 'A wee flounce'. Last post 1:59pm today. Yep, and it's.... LOCKED! There are some excellent comments on it, NickNorman shining brightly amongst them. Just go to Canalworld's Virtual Pub and it's all there. At least, to me, the new mod Magpie Patrick seems a sane one.
