    Yes, because it's an 'organic' thing, therefore each situation is judged on its own merit. You cannot apply rigid rules to these things. It's like holding a conversation with someone in real life: things can naturally go off in tangents.

    Like I said before, out with of The Knowledge, which is strictly a resource for information, people are allowed as much as possible to be themselves, within the guidelines of our ethos - and if they step outside of that, that's when you'll see the warnings being issued you're referring to.

    Unfortunately Joe, there is no yardstick for what may be interpreted as thread drift. I think it's down to the OP generally, to indicate where they feel their thread has been impacted. Of course that threshold will be different for each member.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    Fair enough. I should add that it doesn't actually have much impact on me because I rarely start threads, so don't often feel that 'my' thread has been crapped on.

    I think there should be certain 'no-go' areas for thread drift, such as classified ads; otherwise I guess it is, as you say, for the OP to complain if they're bothered by banter about farts or whatever.

    Yes, classified ads are more strictly moderated in that respect than others.

    The problem is when it's the mods and their mates who are as you put it "taking the piss/being a nuisance".
    Macca acknowledges it happens and recognises a bit more awareness is needed but others seem to think it's being selfish.

    Every forum's got its good and bad points FOR YOU, so if you want to enjoy the former, then you have to put up with the latter. Honestly, you want to try keeping everyone here happy and see how you get on

    Marco.
    Yes, there are alway both good and bad points but the latter is now spoiling my enjoyment of the former.

    There's nothing wrong with banter but there's a time and a place for it. I now see little point in starting threads when there's a good chance the mods and their mates are going to crap on it to relieve the tedium of life and god forbid if anyone is so selfish as to complain.

    I bring back the non working notification which I mentioned many posts back.
    Also I really miss some kind of tagging system here (I am not familiar with vBulletin, but there should be a feature built in vBulletin or simple plugin which can be installed). So when ever someone tag a username this shows up in his/her notification bar. And same feature would be good for quotes.
    So in this case I would not need to go through all posts to find one related to me

    No-one's stopping you from complaining, Andy, otherwise this section of the forum wouldn't exist. Can't say I've seen much evidence of mods crapping all over your threads, so perhaps you could link to some evidence of what you're referring to, so we can look at it?

    thread crapping or jolly banter between friends that just happens to occur on someone else's thread?

    It's all in the eyes of the beholder.
