Why do members want to highjack topics. It is irritating when you are following a topic only for some members to go “Off Topic” and before you know it you are following a completely different thread. More frustrating when the member admits to going of topic. If you feel that what you have something to say ,please create another topic.

can I just say that I have never known such an over moderated forum. Posts disappear for no real reason Imo (probably this one very soon) were all adults and I don't think anyone is THAT concerned by what anyone may write. Freedom of speech and all that.
just saying
spk - the points you have made above are all covered in the Community Guidelines which you read and agreed to in order to use the CT Forum.
In particular, you will no doubt recall that if you have a problem with Forum moderation, you are asked to contact the Community Manager direct to discuss.

I will do that then because I do feel that the site is over moderated and that forum members are sometimes made to feel like naughty schoolchildren if they so much as dare to cross over into any type of none mainstream humour or general friendly humorous banter.

I do enjoy the forum tinwheeler I find the members very informative and I enjoy the banter. But it seems to me that on many occasions threads are not allowed to take there natural course and people are not given the opportunity to respond or indeed retract statements (as I recently did you will recall) before the post is pulled. This I do not agree with. We are all adults and are able to sort things ourselves without over zealous moderation.

I'm afraid CT doesn't work that way, spk. If you were on here in the bad old days before the T&Cs were tightened and moderation to the current level became necessary, you would understand and thank the Champions for what they do.
To say it used to be vitriolic is an understatement. It was the behaviour of some posters that has brought us to where we are today and, regrettably, your last sentence is way off beam.

Spk, I understand where you are coming from, most of us have had posts erased or closed at some point. I have come to realise though that it is nothing personal, the Mods have a job to do enforcing the CT rules and until the rules change that will always be the case.
Best just to go with the flow, as Tinny posted.
