Paphos Life

Please keep them on other forums.

Thank you.

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 !!

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.

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.

Sorry Dominic ... have I missed something??

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.

TBH, it helps a huge amount if the forum is proactively moderated, like this one.

This is a fabulous forum Dominic should be extremely proud of what has been achieved.......the blogs are amazing .....Max's blogs are very interesting and his lunch experiences on a Saturday
Long may it continue to go from strengh to strengh ...... I love it

Hear hear, Yioula!!

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?
