I just popped in but  straight back out for another glass of me.Night night folks.  

Warmth,humour and laughter are so important.The serious issues, we really don't need to be reminded of because they are within all of our hearts, at all times anyway.

Why is it that some people have to convince us and themselves , they feel the same, over and over and over again.

Hi all,

 

this is my first visit to the forums for some time and I am saddened to see that there is the same underlying tone to threads as there was on my last visit,

I do not know what has been going on or with whom and I am really not interested. I would live by the motto that you should never say on any forum what you would not say to a person face to face.  People seem to be very brave when they feel they are anonymous.

I will not be visiting the forums again as I feel the light hearted and informative nature has gone and I am now left with a nasty taste in my mouth.

Good luck to all, I hope whoever you are, you manage to sort it out.

Hi Sarah,

That is a real pity, and I will be so sorry if you leave. Please reconsider .... you are a genuine garden bird lover, and I would miss you very much.

From all the statements above from and for everyone I think a case for an " Ignore option" has been proved.

What must “New Comers” and “Returning Members” to this forum think when they stumble across this not so inconspicuous thread and “Pipit” thread.

Shame on us all (me included). The impression we must be imparting to the new or the infrequent members of the forum will be one of total unruliness, discord, disharmony and a total lack of decorum.

This is a forum I chose to join back in June because I found the subjects were broad enough and well covered that I felt I could learn something from each and every one of the contributors. My judgement on this has proved to be spot on to date because each and everyone who contributes to the forum have imparted knowledgeable information which would cost a fortune if I wanted to learn it within the UK academic system.

However recently I’ve become aware that there are one or two disruptive and troublesome members who knowingly or unwittingly cause havoc, chaos and even pandemonium amongst their fellow members. So much so that it distracts those members from the reason they’re members of the forum in the first place.

So I’d like to call a time out and say that enough is enough. Please can we all get back to the reason we joined this forum (whatever that may be), otherwise I can see the RSPB pulling the plug on this forum because we’re not self-moderating (as adults) and it is costing to much because we are pulling valuable resources away from the main purpose of the RSPB. If you are RSPB Members you’ll understand this last statement.

On a personal note; I do love this forum because of the broad variety of subjects covered and cross section of members whether knowledgeable or not who are generally having fun with the subjects covered and generally none are bothered if they ask a silly question make a complete ass of themselves i.e. having fun unlike other forums.

I was thinking overnight and the feature I would like most of all is something I have never seen anywhere. Basically it would be good if the original poster could block posters from that thread. If this was possible then most problems would disappear. Probably the equivalent of defriending people on FB.

However I am not sure these discussions are very fruitful. No doubt the programmers will be aware of what is possible and what isn't.

No point in further comment just now!

Hi all

Would an 'ignore' button mean to ignore a member or just a particular thread or post?

If it was for a thread that would be a good idea as there are quite a few that I do not read but still have to scroll through to find the ones I am interested in.

Not that the threads are not interesting but not something that I want to follow etc. (hope that makes sense!)

I have had no problems with any members (you are all nice!) so don't want to ignore anyone,just some threads that I have no interest in.
