Why should we have to do the job that should have been done by the people policing this forum?

There should be no need for a member to have to report the "So Called Trolls".... They should have been recognised and removed as soon as seen.....cool

Well Brian this is a community of members and as such surely we all have an interest and a responsibility in helping the forum to run smoothly. What you might see as "troll like behavior" might mean something different to somebody else. By reporting your concerns at least it gives the Community Manager the chance to take a broad view and take action if required. What is so difficult for us Mods that we get people calling for more moderation and others claiming the forum is over moderated so which is it?

 AD, I didn't say that there was any difficulty in pressing the Report Button,I simply asked why I should.

As for justifying my opinion, I don't need to as my opinion is sound, nor do I dismiss posters as trolls wether sitting or standing. I respect posters opinions, but I do not have to agree with every thread that is posted, that is my perogative, as it is yours.

If I had wanted to report any Trolling, I would have applied to be a mod.

As I stated previously, In my opinion (justified or not) Trolls should be removed as soon as spotted, by the proper authority.....cool

Well this poster is recently back from a lovely 16 days in the warmth (and wet!) of Mauritius, and missed most of the kerfuffle over the name change. I'm not surprised so many folk posted at the time and have since disappeared - that's often the way with protestors of all kinds isn't it? Mind you talk of "trolls", "reporting" and "posters you don't like" on this thread hardly encourages new folk to stick around does it?

No it doesn't, I'm a past member, who joined and left and joined up again.

I (and I dare say others) are frightened to post on here due to some of the replys you get. It's not really that friendly at times, hence the reason I also joined the "Friendly Club"

(mind you their forum is not that good, so at least you can glean information from here without logging in)

I am genuinely sorry to hear that the club that I once loved has suffered so badly. But really the truth is that the management are to blame. - they simply didn't listen to the members!

The re-launch of this forum was a disaster. Instead of employing a properly experienced company to breath new life into it and introduce new features like instant photo management and a personal messaging facility, they went in house!  The result a thinly face lifted awful revamp of the old system.

Then the re-launch and change of name of the CARAVAN CLUB.  Why?   What was the level of consultation with the membership ?

I suppose the trolls will have a real go at this post. But if they are so right, and I am so wrong, why has this forum gone so quiet?  Most of us just got fed up and went away, and I take no pleasure in that at all!

The re branding of the logo was just plain daft!  The Old pennant stood out and was easily recognised.  The new "Walls" look alike will just fade into the background.

From a very sad past poster!

Don't  be  too  sad  TF,  the  CT  section  of  C&MC  (wink )   is  suffering  a  bit  we  know,  but  the  Club  itself  is  still  here  and  many  of  the  Members  are  getting  out  and  about  OK  and  reporting  back  as  /when  they return.

I was always told ,when things get tough stay with it ,and it can only get better,and CT will get better ,but only if members stay rather than leave

The Club Together Forum presentation is awful. It doesn't work very well. The presentation is just about as bad as it could be, with tiny feint text and pale green dismal shades. 

The  Club web site is just unacceptable, hard to navigate and poor functionality. Finding sites on the map is painful - terrible.

It's  hard to understand how such a large business can have such a bad  web site. It's always been bad and it isn't getting better.

The so called rebranding is just silly. Nothing has been achieved. People with motor caravans have always been included, so what on earth was it all about? 

Its little wonder there isn't much activity on Club Together.
