If you want to whinge, put it on the new forum. Its going to have the same members off here, so its not like your going to be whinging to total strangers  |

When I'm on your forum I won't talk about lowered cars, when you are on mine please have the courtesy not to whinge about stuff.

Fair enough, my point was it's as SOC said, whinging is part of human nature. I am not here exclusively to whinge, but it will happen, and it is off putting to have something binned that isn't offensive.

Thats been my point all along though and in fact for the past 5 years I've run this forum. I find it offensive that people come on to this forum that we enjoy filling with pictures and positive chat about interesting cars in order to populate it with their banal whinings. Which will inevitable push something interesting off the bottom of the front page.
There was a time I'd just delete these posts, but now they have their own special places because people complained about the fact I'd just delete what I didn't like.
This forum is what it is, take it or leave it. I'll not apologies for removing content I'm not interested in, and I'll not be shoved around into allowing it.

Not shoving you around, just making my point of view. Why not just move the topics though, and leave them unlocked? That way they are off the main forum and not pushing other topics down the board, but the members (who must have felt strong enough about the topic to post in the first place) can still continue the discussion.

Because it is essentially an off topic forum then,.. and this is Retro Rides, where we talk about modified older cars and always done so in a way that doesn't involve complaining about governments, tv, celebrity, the weather or whatever else may flit across our mind.
Members feel strongly about a lot of things. This isn't a democracy I'm afraid. It never has been and never will be. I listen to what people have to say, but then I make my choices. This is one of those things I won't be moved on. The fact there is even somewhere for these threads to be moved to is enough of a compromise for me, frankly I'd rather just delete them.

Is it just me or is this a recent uprising?
I mean we have had threads go negitive before but recently its taking the P. I like the forum the way it is *another vote for deletion* i am on too many forums full of total gobsh1te that I find this a safe haven.

If anyone needs convincing why we shouldn't allow whinging / negative threads on RR, just read this thread back. It's negative, creates bad feeling within the community, has SOD ALL to do with retro cars, and above all it's BORING.
I don't want retro-rides filling with this curse word. I want to talk about retro cars.

Please don't take what I said yesterday as a vote for an off topic section, moans about mortgage rates/vet fees/price of eggs or anything. I don't want that. I'm only here to talk cars. Thats primarily why I'm not running off to PS's new forum  Trouble is, if everything has to be positive and happy, I havn't got much to post at the mo. So I won't. I'll keep my troubles to myself, then maybe, when I feel better, I'll show you what I've been doing again. |

Well I am not really looking for an off topic section either, but of you look at the last topics to end up in the whinge bin, they were retro related.

RR is the place we go to escape all that and remind ourselves why we're doing it. It is my escape from all the stuff I have to do all day and the place I come for inspiration. Think of it as a little car Eden where nothing is wrong. |

It's called the thin edge of a very horrible wedge and it's not wanted here And this discussion isn't much help either except as a guide to why threads end up in the whinge bin and don't get deleted |
