No and I agree that spam, rudeness, swearing, disrespect etc are totally unecessary, but what I don't understand is, if what all the mods have said here is true, that you want honest threads with honest and constructive replies, that you
continue to condone lying, misrepresentation and blatent out and out marketing of products in the normal forum area which is against the forum rules.
It appears to me that there are double standards which is a shame because there is some good stuff on here, but it appears to be pi**ing a lot of people off, I see that there is now another forum set up in competition to this one by a lot of long standing members of this one.
