All right then! We just have a section titled "Advice and Information". See, your a genious!

Since neither Admin or Webmaster have responded, let me give some guidance:

First of all, PFT was never "banned". You can talk about it all you want, as long as the conversation remains civil. Unfortunately, that conversation never remains civil for long, so the moderators step in. We just spread the word that when it becomes uncivil it will be shut down.

I feel the same way about the RJDC threads. In a thread whose topic is devoted to RJDC/scope type issues, you know what you're getting into when you click on it. As long as it doesn't turn into a bash session or 10 pages of repetition, I say let it alone.

On the other hand, I know what you are talking about when an unrelated topic is "hijacked" into an RJDC debate because one poster brings that into the discussion and everybody else follows. This sort of thing is rather annoying because you have to wade through pages of stuff untrlated to the original discussion topic.
To address this, we have asked, and continue to ask posters to only make replies to the original topic. It is up to the posters to keep a topic on track. When a topic goes astray, it is a moderators job to bring it back to the topic, whether that means offering guidance, deleting/moving posts or in extreme cases, closing the topic.
If you want to make a post that isn't a direct response to something said in a thread, simply start a new topic and go from there.

I agree with FLpilot that some, but not all, RJDC supporters deliberately try to bring the RJDC into unrelated topics as a means to "evangelize" the "non believers". Though this hasn't been bad lately, we continue to frown on this and it will be dealt with on a case by case basis through the "report a post to a moderator" function and through moderators browsing.

Regards,
If4f, Moderator

Nice

ifly4food,

Ironic you're one of the only ones who actually "got" my post. The "hijacking" of threads and the evangelical style of the RJDC supporters was the main point I was trying to make, you just managed to express it more eloquently than I did. I think you have offered some reasonable solutions and I hope that some of the "offenders" will do a better job of policing themselves from now on. Thank you!

Just where IS mark these days? Did we fund two years of the board or two years in Cabo?
