I have enjoyed this forum………….

[Sneds]

……….for over 15 years but am disappointed by the way monitors dictate what people can and can’t post and cast aspersions about a post without any questions asked and just delete it.
I may never come here again and am cancelling my magazine subscriptions in the morning.
This forum, sadly, ain’t what it used to be.

If your Brokers post was removed then I am at a loss to understand why that would be unless it relates to something posted since I last looked at it.

I understand your frustration and wouldn’t disagree that things have changed here over the years but still worth dropping by I think ?

It sure isn’t and it’s a real shame but it’s down to lack of investment, ease to use etc .
Sadly sites like FB make it far easier to post photos and videos of problems and stories when cruising , that’s my thought on why it’s not so popular.
I will say that this place is what we all make it , I’ve been on here since it’s incarnation, though I did have a different handle at first .
The less people on here makes it a smaller place so keep with us .

The way facebook works is horrible compared to this style of forum

Perhaps I over reacted but I was v unhappy with the high handed, authoritarian way my thread was deleted and the PM explanation I received
VP, you are correct. People leaving make the community smaller to the detriment of others still reading the forum.

They pulled the broker question thread? What on earth for!? There was nothing remotely contentious about that.

Hi Volvo Paul - need asking you a couple of questions re our Volvo engines TAMD41. Any contact info would be appreciated. Thanks Jackie

To be fair I see the magazine as the magazine and the forum as a free to use forum. The two aren’t linked in my mind.

As for investment in the forum it’s a small niche corner of the internet. I suspect Elon Musk is some way from approaching the owners with an offer ?

Ultimately it’s down to the people who post and I will say that many of the posts quickly descend to either a toxic rant or an off topic technical rabbit warren which may or may not be factually correct.

Every now and again there’s a useful bit of boating stuff in there but for the most part I find myself on specialist facebook groups these days.

The kids who run the forum need to grow up and actually understand boating.!

I would still very much like an answer to this. It was a perfectly sensible and interesting discussion, why was it pulled? Perhaps a moderator might like to give us some guidance?

Its not an airport, you don't need to announce your departure.

Well I guess we will never know, despite asking twice for clarification and notifying the moderators of one of those posts.

Doesn't sit well.
