So-cal is this something similar to what you told paradise when you jumped to his defence, it seems to me that you like to join forces with the posters that seem to be here just to annoy everyone, I read a post a few days ago about how you had changed your views and had started to join in with some good posts and contributions, seems the thought of trying to annoy people is far more appealing to you though when given the opportunity. Please tell me what i can learn from you, j69, paradise or any of your other allies.

I thought the original post was very good... Entertaining. I fell about laughing at least....

In all honesty, what a load of rubbish. The problem here is some either hasn't read forum rules, or is just a wind-up merchant. Which ever way i can see another banning coming up.

Jonny 69 - Since you have joined this board, your posts have been controversial and OTT. You talk a load of bollucks and quite frankly i am suprised you haven't been banned yet. When i read some of your comments in another thread i realised that you are just another richie (I am sure you are) and we would be better off without you.


So-Cal - I can see my post in your TR thread was in vain. After the way you started off and then changed a little i really thought that you were going to be a valuable member of the forum. However I can see I was wrong and you will always be a dipstick.

This is a great forum. The gang goes out of their way to give reliable info to newbies. Can you imagine coming to LOS as a fish? The learning curve could cost a guy a ton of cash. Also, the more experienced BMs are more than happy to give info to guys (like myself) who are slowly learning the ropes.

I have made a couple of posts that had to be edited, and I got a couple of reasonable cautions, and it was suggested that I read the posting rules. So, perhaps the critics need to reflect on the good service that this forum provides.

What exactly is it you are expecting the mods to do?
Ban them for posting an opinion that conflicts with most people on the board?
No.

Ban them for being a troll? Its not proven at all. Although I disagree with nearly every comment made by Jonny69 and So-cal, its a free forum where their opinion is as valid as anyone elses.

Members will only be removed for good reason, and its not conducive to the forum membership to ban people for having an opinion I'm afraid.

When, and only then, anyone steps out of line, is a ban considered, usually after a warning.

Thanks for this answer. In my opinion this is correct.
But also confirms some statements as discussed by the OP.....

Might be a reason to discuss but not to remove or ban.

Have to say this ,i think you are doing a great job as a moderator,you walk the line between doing your job(as moderator),between friends (people you met) or windup`s (will not name names) ,you treat everyone according to forum rules.

I have to say as I have been thinking this for a while!

When I 1st joined this forum only a short 8 months ago it was the Dogs gonads and gave me so much insight into my then upcoming trip to LOS.
(My next LOS adventure starts in only 2 days!!)

But recently I have found so much negativity on the board.... Not sure if it is new members winding up old members or what... But WTF is going on????

Could it be Low Season brings out the crazies????????

Not sure what I wanna say with this post but being a kinda newbie still... I just don't understand what all the negative posts are about!!!

Hope it changes soon back to how it was! This forum has helped so much with my trips and answered some important questions... as well as persuaded me to do my 1st solo trip.....

Well thats it..... This is a bit alcohol fuelled but I have been thinking this for a while!!!

2 days to go until LOS adventure Number 2 begins!

Its the nature of a forum Sarsbuk. From time to time a member will join up with the sole purpose of antagonising the board. After a while, they will go too far and be removed. Hopefully its an occasional occurance.

Enjoy your upcoming trip

As more and more people joins this forum,chances increase accordingly to get the windup/troll/stirer (got the last one from alibabba22,new word for me,beeing an Norwegian lazy-boy in school),but i agree with you,there has been many negativs post`s lately..
Maybe many of us want`s to do what you are doing in 2 days 555
Have a good trip sarsbuk

there is a BIG difference between an opinion and some of the comments posted - insults etc, aggressive tone of posts, Twisting comments and making up arguments is the mark of some looking to annoy people is not a opinion (and doing the same on various forums)

and banning is a bit harsh but warnings first in general.

And you would know all about trolls , wouldn't you Richie !!!! Isn't it strange that it is always the people that no BM's have ever met that accuse others of being trolls .
