POSTING BEHAVIOR REVISITED

The below is from our forum owner JeffR, he makes valid points. This is an older post but needs to be read again! Please read and pay attention!  Keep your posts on topic and NO personal attacks of any kind. Since Tim is gone I guess it will fall to me to take some discipline as needed.  Lets get back to Silver Wing business! Thanks

"To all Members,

When posting please refrain from being belligerent or what some come off as 'attacking' others.  This is just s scooter site and it is about riding scooters and enjoying them.  This last topic about "Trips ---few seem to be taking them" has just gotten out of hand and had to be closed off by a mod.  I just saw the last few posts and I can't believe that some people get upset because someone trailers a bike to a ride or on a vacation.  

Some are able to ride long distances on a bike and others aren't, or just don't think it is worth riding so far.  I know if I had an RV and could trailer a bike...I would.  Some just ride for enjoyment where others are very 'hard core' riders.  But this site is just to share comments, knowledge and to enjoy yourself's here.

Those that begin to make posts that are attacking in manner will be deleted.  We will not edit the post to make is sound correct but we will simply delete the post.  

John Grinsel and Meldrew, please take note of this topic which will become a 'sticky'.  

To me, "banning" is something I find very difficult because I'm very big into 'freedom of speech'.  But the topic about 'trips' has become disrespectful and we mods will give temporary bans for a day or so and then delete the offensive post.

Riding a bike should be enjoyable and coming to this forum should also be enjoyable.  So "Do Not" make posts that are attacking in nature.  

Thanks,

JeffR


I am editing this to also say that this is not just speaking about the topic "Trips---few seem to be taking them" but for all posts going forward. We just need to be respectful and to understand we are all different. It doesn't mean that one is better than the other but just different. So, if you are one of those 'attacking' people please just don't do it."

Thank you. Paul

Thank you. My apologies for being part of the discussion that precipitated this post.

Well put, Glenn... and that's as it should be...

I agree Glenn 100%. Like my Mom used to say, "If you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all."
