Whoa back there guys. There are several mods on PPRuNe and it is no longer our tool - the owners expect us to exercise control, and remember thread starters can delete a thread.
The rules you all signed up for are there for everyone to see and yet just of late it seems that anything goes. What do you expect us to do? Do you really think that because you call anything that has a margin on it counts as banter? You have to play by those rules you signed up for - there is no half-way house. You can banter all you like but you cannot abuse PPRuNe for your own ends and expect mods to ignore it. We have a job to do. Very difficult at times but we do give leeway. You will have to accept that when it goes too far we will do what we think is necessary. Its not that tough for you to think before you submit a post is it?
