Memo to forum members: Moderation removed!

Good afternoon to all the forum users.

Given some of the rubbish that has been appearing recently we have decided to stick with the great bunch of people we have on here who down the years have shown themselves – whatever their views – capable of arguing sensibly and with balance. Steps have been taken to keep things family friendly.

We are of course accused all sorts of stuff but what with writing stories, ringing sources, supervising the site generally and much more, we really don’t have the time or inclination to be arguing with people – all of whom have been newcomers over the last three days and with an obvious bleat.

As a result of our decision,  the moderation has been removed allowing the present group  to express your views without having to suffer some of the nonsense that’s been spouted of late.

We do not see ourselves in the same terms as Twitter where anything goes! Just three words : Keep it clean! 🙂

Best to all of you

Hughie and Sean
