Re: Arguments on Other Forums
I'm a fairly new member here, having lived in Paphos for many years. When I recently looked to join a local forum such as this, it basically came down to a choice of two. The other one seemed full of petty squabbles, disagreements and fairly childish bickering.
This one, however, was a clear winner. Members seemed to be able to present and discuss different opinions in a grown up way. Long may it continue.

And this one has only been going since the beginning of the year !!

Re: Arguments on Other Forums
Hear hear. The difference is very noticeable. This forum continues as it started - friendly and helpful, with different viewpoints being represented and usually respected. It's a bit like having friends you have never met. Mind you, I never put a toe into the politics section, perhaps it gets a bit lively there.Steve Matthews wrote: ↑Tue Jul 25, 2017 8:30 am I'm a fairly new member here, having lived in Paphos for many years.

I think much credit is due to Dominic, who has always made it clear he won't tolerate any trouble.

But won't lie down?? I know of at least two other forums here (NOT this one) likely to go the same way.

Re: Arguments on Other Forums
We're all different and have different views and opinions on things.
I think what sets this forum aside from the others is the ability for members to be able to post their own, differing opinions on a subject and for an interesting discussion and exchange of views to follow. Rather than for it to descend into petty arguing, squabbling and back biting.

i.e. this is a NORMAL forum! It is the other ones that are lacking and impose petty censorship etc.Steve Matthews wrote: ↑Tue Jul 25, 2017 12:23 pm We're all different and have different views and opinions on things.

Re: Arguments on Other Forums
TBH, it helps a huge amount if the forum is proactively moderated, like this one.
Re: Arguments on Other Forums

Long may it continue to go from strengh to strengh ...... I love it

Re: Arguments on Other Forums
Let's hope the members reciprocate and act normally! Censorship is only needed when members overstep the mark. I'm sure you are aware of that, Geoffrey?geoffreys wrote: ↑Tue Jul 25, 2017 2:11 pmi.e. this is a NORMAL forum!
