When is a rule not a rule?

Satellite imagery is dated so it easy to see whether it might be meaningful or not.

I have been following another web forum which among other things has a thread running about the attitude of CAMC Wardens. One of the Wardens at a site was very rude to a person who arrived late, having been advised that he was running late by a friend. Arriving early is not acceptable unless you have no alternative and been approved to do so. Regardless of the rights or wrongs, Wardens are the front face of the club at a site and surely need to remember to be polite as a matter of good Customer Service. The forum I have been following has far too many on the site who do not have a good word to say about CAMC Wardens so if you are one please keep your cool in the face of a customer even when you are following the latest guidelines and in the right. Also, as a customer, if you do get a poor attitude from a warden note the time and date and let the warden know you will officially complain rather than post it on the forum. BTW, as a lover of CL's i do not use Clubs sites much so have not had an instance of poor customer relations frmo a warden.

The incident you refer you had been discussed in the thread linked below. You will see the club's response inserted in the opening post.

It shows one shouldn’t be too hasty to condemn or to believe all one reads.

I always take such posts about wardens with a big pinch of salt and pay little attention. I'm not saying it doesn't happen but it's never happened to me nor do I associate (obviously) with those that do

Firstly they are unsubstantiated and cannot be verified.

Secondly rude, unhelpful, or whatever usually translates into 'I couldn't get my own way'

Thirdly they are usually made by people who don't use club sites often or at all, like yourself it has to be said.

The forum I have been following has far too many on the site who do not have a good word to say about CAMC Wardens

And lastly really I can't my head around this type of statement if there are so many why are club sites so popular? If things really are that bad why are so many people going back? Are people putting up with the wardens because sites are so great?  

 

 

Corners, you are absolutely right to take such things with a pinch of salt. I think we recognise the fact that some people love to hate CAMC and will complain about anything and everything at the slightest opportunity yet still remain members🤷🏻‍♂️. Like you, I’m not saying that was the case with the complainant SC refers to or that such instances don't happen but they do get blown out of proportion and often folk don’t or won't see the whole picture.

With regard to the other forum, assuming it is the same one, a second thread was started on the issue by someone who joined specifically to start a thread for a reason of his/her own and last time I looked people were falling out and arguing. It was pretty unpleasant stuff tbh.

I think it’s just best to remember that there is an awful lot of twaddle and misinformation peddled about on all sorts of websites and forums. Intelligent folks will do their own thinking and reasoning, before blindly believing most things they read. Doesn’t matter what sort of website it is, Twitter, Faceache, Instagram, whatsApp, and then of course all the specialist forums, free and subscribed. It starts on one website, grows horns on another, third one adds a Devils tail, and then bingo, the truly thick believe it chapter and verse🤷‍♀️ 

Mind, when those with more money than sense start to play, it becomes a weird spectator sport for the gutter press. They are falling over trying to get into the Wagatha Christie case. 🤣🤣

You appear not to have read the last sentence of the first paragraph of my post, David.

I am neither a club defender, nor a denier, nor a doubter of honesty but am fortunate in being open minded enough to realise there is more to most tales than first sight suggests. 

Why use the term club defenders? Why can't people post their views with you labelling them as such? Is it meant to devalue what they post.

But apart from that, who has denied or challenged any honesty?

no good to the club denying it or even worse challenging the honesty of those who have come across it.
