The way I see it, Admin sucked the life blood out of the forum...many key,contributing members were treated like kids behaving badly, with him playing the role of an allmighty principal. Rob. I guess we could go over it again and again but we will probably never know the real reason for it!? I'm wondering (not that it's any of my business or concern) how many of the Banned members will be going back "there" to post? I'll likely go back but most likely to only read! Why bother to go back where you arent wanted or treated as if you were a kid?

I haven't been banned so still walking the plank between here and the SCWF, but enjoying the much needed extra freedom here it is a new breath of life. Very heavy handed by the Mods over at the SCWF and it wasn't needed. Unfortunately down the track the way I see it there will be the 4 or 5 mod's there but no Members.
Cheers Mark

Cheers Mark I'm not banned either & totally agree with your statement Mark except possibly the last sentence. I could well be wrong about this but the way I see it, membership there will probably keep growing as most searches on Google, that's done on Seiko watches, will take you to the site. I can see a future there where the place is possibly only inhabited by newbs & Mods. Seems to me that the more you post over there, the more chance you have of upsetting someone, ending up having a petty arguement resulting in a ban. I think Admin & 1 or 2 of the Mods have shot themselves in the foot by banning people who have a lot of watch knowledge and/or were regular starters of threads & huge contributors to the forum. Their loss, our gain. JMHO. Cheers Dave

Why bother to go back where you arent wanted or treated as if you were a kid? It's like watching a soap opera.

Things have probably already settled down "over there" but as typical........it wont be long before something or someone causes another furor and it will start all over again! Wondering this time if it will last 6 pages before getting locked down?

The way I see it is...The Mods there volunteer there time and effort...They can bow out anytime they want... Soooo Either they are power hungry, Led by a leash and enjoy it or just plain Dumb....It is just as much there choice and in full agreement when the hammer comes down...Nuff for me Moving On thumbs-up And here I am

Banned ;)The reason: I joked about the fact that Tim and others were warned about 'foul language'.

Not really something we want to focus on, this thread should give you some answers.
