Posts in Forums running off track need intervention HA HA WITHDRAWN I GIVE UP LOL

Wully, the video had me chuckling, I can't beleive it was 2005 ! I'd also forgotten Saville was in it, how the rest of them must cringe now, at least Glitter was unavailable at the time.

I can understand your frustration a little bit, however -

I feel it is the nature of conversations, be they online or face to face, to wander on and off topic. Sometimes these meanderings as still of interest, sometimes they aren't.

If I find a topic that I am following wanders off into an area I'm not interested in I just stop reading it.

I think moderation, other than for offensive or provocative content, would be too oppressive and heavy-handed.

Just my own opinion of course.

Understand what you mean I maybe overreacted. Cheers 🙂

Surely that's the most interesting aspect of a conversation either spoken or written, you never know where its going till you get there. I find sometimes the subject will wander off topic to an even more interesting one.....

Fair enough I was having a senior moment

With most subjects they will get relevant replies that are informative and deal with matter in hand , and then you get a few humorous contributions , then there is those that divert on to subsequent issues . It doesn't take much effort to ignore those that you don't wish to interact with . To much moderation can stifle the flow , and result in interesting subjects not being raised JMHO

I recognise a number of names on here that have been posting on various forums for years. They will tell you that this is one of the most succinct out there. I suspect that generally that's the way they like to keep it but occasionally a member needs to get something of their chest, for whatever reason so there is the occasional lapse.

Showing you age there Mr Humphries lol. I have got the point...maybe I need to ease my way in gently. How can I get the post binned.

There is no need to get it binned, it has been entertaining from the beginning and your posts quoting other members show you will fit in here, I never go off topic myself 😇 but I understand when people do.

Thank you that was very kind.
 
It’s good that you can have a laugh now welcome to the nut house you’ve passed the test👍but if you really want to see a thread go off you’ll have to stay up late on a Saturday night because if them Music videos I post don’t get moderated then nothing will 😂 . 👍
 
Thanks Wrighpm for coming back to answer the comments. We all seem to agree on something for once, that we don’t need more moderation on here, and ultimately wandering off thread can often add to the entertainment in a thread,
