Frustrating!
Attention!
This topic is locked.
Reason : No need!

I did just post a reply to the "Geoff" thread, the one about removing photos. I mentioned that it might be frustrating, annoying, when you make a comment and then find the photo has been removed. Guess what! The police have been in and removed the thread now! Not sure why, flexing their muscles? It all looked harmless stuff to me. I did also mention though that although I'm normally very stinting in my praise, IMHO he does produce probably the best stuff in EPZ!

I deleted it!
Do we have to create threads that pick on other members? Am I being to idealistic in hoping that the threads can be used to discuss photography, life and other things without bickering about the way people use the site?
Last year so many of these sort of threads started, erupted and caused havoc. There's no need. It's so easy to ignore the way some members use the site if it doesn't agree with the way you use it.
Most of the problems that occur here are because focus is placed on the 0.1% of members/site features that annoy you. Surely it's possible to skip by and enjoy the 99.9% that doesn't.

Hear Hear,i dont oftern join in with these nit picking threads as i know i would get into trouble,but i did read the thread last night,and i have to say i really felt sorry for Geoff, i think pete has said it all in this thread and evryone should take it in,just get on with it because sometimes its like been at school reading some of these threads alot of bullies,lynex

Oooo errr...I must stop visiting the forums! Forked tongue is firmly behind teeth (for now). ~hissssss~
In defence, the thread made some valid points and pettiness came from both sides of the playing field (although I missed the later updates this morning which is annoying)...it was just getting interesting!

Thanks for deleting it - lets hope they (they know who they are) don't lynch anyone else. But in time they will as these type of people just can't help themsleves.
