Why not have an unmodded part of the forum where Flamers, trollers, grimmers etc can thrive away from everything else and where everyone else can say something without fear of being struck down by a mod who have been more prolific than an Edinburgh parking attendant recently.

come on guys, its not that bad please lets not overreact! you know i love the place but also like people to tell it like it is. just cos someone speaks there mind or thinks different to the mods doesnt make it wrong. over moderation will kill this forum not over zealousness! ps greekstein should be banned for life  I think the difficulty at the moment is that the mods are well aware that old faces have deserted the forum, and cited their reasons for doing so as the change in atmosphere. It's a tough one - you can never please everyone all of the time - either you let everyone run riot over the forum (which a large minority would revel in) and leave the place to become more and more like 2+2, or you try to get the forum back to what made it different in the first place (which, again, would appeal to a large minority). I say 'large minority' in each case because I don't know where the views of the majority of the current active posters lie. so please name some of these "old faces" that have deserted the forum and that have publically stated its because of the change in atmosphere

Very sad it's come to this.
How difficult is it to post something which doesn't offend or upset other posters? It is very easy to banter with other posters without flaming.
I support the mods 100% and hope this move changes the atmosphere here for the better.

As far as I'm aware, no one has made a 'public declaration', they've just left quietly or decided to visit less frequently. I may be mistaken, but I'm sure I read on Tighty's diary a while back that he had had discussions with people who had decided not to frequent blonde anymore, and those were the reasons they gave. I'm sure he'll correct me if I'm wrong.

good post this has been suggested many times by a number of posters only to be shot down immediately by the mods as "never gona happen" a number of members are 18/25 age group which at times the mods struggle to understand. the youngest mod is i imagine kinboshi he needs to connect more with this element of blonde though to be honest my 75yo mother is probably more hip

Had a couple edited to black out some colourful language but life is too short to deliberately upset someone just because you disagree with their opinion on an internet messageboard.

Besides the flaming etc won't stay in the unmodded board. PS The last line made me LMAO

I think you're right Paul that the mods team could do with one or two of the younger forum members on board to help bridge the gap a bit.
