our beloved forum is too sanitised

G'Day all .. like a truck that gets parked up....the rust is setting in on our bloody fantastic forum...

I reckon it's showing signs of being too grown up and "civilised"...to the detriment of your average enthusiast, truckie or boofhead like me.... and a lot of it can be put down to becoming just a little too precious and overtly "family friendly"...

....we are becoming more strangled with all kinds of PC in our daily lives, and with regards to people here not wanting to view a certain topic, the whole rule could well apply to the forum in general....tune out if it disgusts you that much. Underlyingly, we are not a bad bunch of people here but lately we are having to behave like a bunch of bloody nuns! LOL

...a little relaxing of the increasingly stricter forum rules could see a bit more ribaldry and humour here to break up our increasingly stricter lives.....no slanging or petulance...just a bit more good old basic Aussie banter, humour and colour ...

...for the sake of a FUN and entertaining meeting place here, jump in and make a comment fellas... ..cheers

Easy fix, have to be a paid member to post on the forum. This would allow any author who posts,"questionable comments" etc, to be sanctioned by a lock out for posting for a period.
Either an increase in members, or a lot less posting by key board jockeys.

G'day Detective, one thing I find a bit odd is that if a group of people are sitting around having a drink and a bit of sh!t stirring starts then everyone has a laugh and joins in, but when the same thing is done on the forum then all of a sudden people want to spit the dummy and leave. It's my opinion ,and mine alone, that maybe people should toughen up a bit, remember the old saying "sticks and stones etc" I have noticed that things have slowed down a bit as far as the forum goes, but hopefully that will change sometime soon and a bit of humour does return. This forum with the assistance and information it provides is too good to lose.

Detective. I couldn't agree more. Not only on the forum, but life in general. As mum used to say, " If you cant stand the heat, get out of the kitchen". I remember some time ago a perfectly harmless JOKE about a certain ethnic community, and the member was howled down and the joke deleted. I don't think he has been back since.

Here, here detective, hopefully some ears are open and we see some changes.

Re all the above, couldn't agree more. Was beginning to think that the politically correct minority had infiltrated even these broad acres!

Getting that way that you can't even look sideways at anyone without them wanting to slap some sort of law suit on you!

Maybe we need a bit of controversy on the site, stir up the pot so to speak. You know the old saying?
"If you haven't heard a decent rumour by 8 a.m.--Start one!"
