this forum has a wealth of info that you will find nowhere else on the net.. but if people are personally attacked everytime they share unique info, why will they continue doing so?

please argue the point and not the person? its just that the general banter is starting to remind me of the vw forums..

I'm not a mod but would like to request maybe we consider a fine penality that goes to a charity if someone is guilty of these offences.

I love this forum. But as a new member it makes me cry and I feel so angry when I see this happen.

Imagine what it does to very new members. Trust me it will make them regret joining. I agree bmw is an exquisite class. Let's not behave like other vehicle drivers.

Just my 2cents comment.

Thank you.

You can't fine someone for voicing their opinion. But would be cool if it was enforceable...

nice idea but impossible to enforce.

as for voicing an opinion let me give you 2 examples.

A posts a thread. B disagrees. B responds with one of the following:

1) i disagree with what you said you stupid POS!

2) I disagree with what you said

they are both voicing an opinion, but one is not allowed on this forum and should be followed by a temporary ban. which one is it?

hint: 8. Personal attacks, rudeness, flaming, baiting, insults to others, or arguments will not be tolerated.

Please feel free to add more.

It is Good to hear everybody feeling and input. :thumbs:

One suggestion that i had was to give Stirrers the Wooden spoon award that will become part of your signature for a Week once you have transgressed and made yourself guilty of insulting, Flaming Ext.

And your title under your Forum name will change to Stirrer of the week.

Unfortunately some individuals would be proud of such a title or they wouldn't care. I prefer the "warning, warning, see you in a week" option.

Too many ego's get in the way and the threads decend into chaos. Just a little common sense is required to avoid the unnecessary bickering :nonono:

Oh and a sense of humor helps as well :rollsmile:

there will always be different points of view an debate does not have to be a death match...

I disagree often with members and voice it but I also do so in a respectful way and never attack their personality...

+1 to both of you, but your requests will fall on some deaf ears. these are the people we can do without on the forum.
