Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    Tunnel to Britain? That's a new one. But still, what's the problem with them being posted about? And if there is none, why go after them with such vitriol? (I'm presuming the same kind of language usage is used as when I wasn't banned)

    So,some newbie comes in, posts an idea that the regulars find laughable/fantasy/derisible, regulars flame it, newbie either goes away or sticks around to get either converted to regular's cause or derided enough to leave.

    Plenty of vitriol, I was called "insane" and told "aw diddums theres your soo soo" when I dared to suggest what you are saying.

    I think the vitriol is from the IRN war seven years ago, when it seems they must think that any newbie is an ex adversary of theirs from IRN. I do have an account on IRN but I rarely post there and certainly didn't get involved in the WRC/Platform 11 handbags.

    There is *shed* loads of baggage with discussing transport on boards.ie, and I think it's time for a clean slate. No more rail pressure group bullcrap from any side. I've never been a member of anything, and I've no interest in it, but I can't share any airport insights or discuss getting across the country just because I was stupid enough to go against the railway clique.

    the problem is they don't really belong on that Forum, they are C&T matters not Heritage or railfan (and most of them are indeed laughable flights of fancy!) They concern development of services, not interest in the service itself for its own sake.

    The basic problem stems from the Forum being poorly named in the first place.imho

    I'm nothing to do with platform 11 or indeed any other poster on the forum none of whom I have ever met. I don't own a handbag.

    I do have a IRN identity and you can check it out for baggage...KID CARDINAL

    Well, it's not really up to members to say what is or isn't allowed in a forum. That's for the charter to say. And if a member objects to a topic in a forum, then they have to bring it to a mod. If the mod allows it, then, well, it's allowed. Dumbo here (me) fell foul of the mods, and here I am, permabanned.

    If you don't like the topic being there, then it's a mod thing to change. Go say it to the mod.
    (and most of them are indeed laughable flights of fancy!)

    What bearing has your personal opinion got on this? Does that make it less/more in the wrong/right place?

    IIRC, one of the first (if not THE first) threads on T&RS was "what should this forum be about".
    The forum was requested by the members and Victor allowed the members to help define its parameters and tone.
    So it is in fact up to the members to say what's in the forum, and to lobby for changes to the Charter if required.

    Seeing as you've brought it up (several times), what did you get banned for exactly?

    Saying what I'm saying in here in threads IIRC.

    Edit: (no need to bring this back to the top unless someone else wants to discuss this topic) I logged out and had a look at Commuting & Transport and Train & Rail, and I gotta say Commuting & Transport hasn't a problem.

    Why the hell is a thread like this allowed fester in Trains & Rail though?
