I personally like the light touch you mods have on the site at present, I also think it’s reflected in the overwhelming majority of the posts, only some of which occasionally make you wince but probably smile at the same time!
I’m all for Rob’s idea about making it a members only section and also Lee’s regarding making it a sign up “you’ve been warned” area.
Politics .... more posts during election years? I dunno...ditch it if you feel it’s necessary, I’ll go with the majority but I feel uneasy that we haven’t got an area where we can have “robust” discussions between consenting members, even if they are infrequent.
