BOAC is not here, he is flying. So I am responding to this thread before it gets out of hand.
You guys need to understand a few things.
The first is that this site has rules. You signed up to them when you decided to join PPRuNe. This forum has rules, to prevent the mis-use of it by those who seem not to know any better - and there has been plenty of that. So much so that we designed these rules to ASSIST you to get the best out of the forum. The first step for anyone coming into this forum is then, to read the FORUM rules, its in nice big red letters for everyone to see.
The next thing to know is that the site has some 60 moderators, two on this forum, who give of their free time to not only exercise control over the content but to also help in any way we can. In turn, we as mods have rules to follow which are laid down by the owner.
We have on Spotters more young guys and girls who have a real interest in aviation who like nothing better than to come here to have a bit of fun and to gain an insight into aviation in general. All aviation 'nuts' are spotters in one form or another almost every day of their lives and PPRuNe is a great source for information and debate.
We also have people who can be a real pain. Who upset the balance of the forum. That is where moderators come in, to control, advise and assist whenever we can. It is not an easy job at times because of those who clearly cannot see that the forum is not just for them. The forum is here for anyone who is interested in gaining knowledge for their hobby or just using it for fun.
We have designed the forum, although BOAC did most of it, to give you a maximum opportunity to access particular interests, airfields is just one. To do this you have to use the search function. The best way is to use the 'Search this forum' button on the FIRST page (NOT thread) to find what you want. For example: Put Edinburgh in the box and you will get 4 pages relating to EDI in one form or another - in red, on any page that the word appears. If you cannot find an item you are doing it wrong or it doesn't exist.
Now to Girtbar's post. You clearly have not been doing it right have you? Couldn't find EDI, three threads and still you didn't follow the rules. No wonder you irritated BOAC. But, you do not have the right to slag him off because you cannot follow links. You solve it, it's there if you do it right. Your third post was a step too far and your access to the forum is removed for a while to allow you to cool it and get some manners. I have now deleted that post. There is no need for abuse. Zero tolerance in this case.
So the sheep that followed his/her post should also understand that we are NOT open to abuse or bashing. We have a difficult job to do which, in the main, we much enjoy, but we will not be subjected to the angst of your own shortcomings. Ask, and we will help if we can. We have the experience to provide answers, although you will find that these might well come from the more knowledgeable amongst the readers.
Don't whinge and childishly rant, that will get you nowhere. And don't bash us. Remember we have the tools to spoil your particular access to PPRuNe if you do.
Enjoy PPRuNe. That is what it is here for.
