An idea...DD posting amnesty until the 18th Nov?
 
this really is all getting too stupid for words.........

its an extreme measure but its got to the stage where i think its needed.

can we call a halt on ALL DD related posts until after the nov 18th meeting unless it is purely of a 'info or advice' nature.

also how about an amnesty?

forget what happened; who did what to whome; reinstate all banned/moderated members; halt all 'investigations'; wipe the slate clean; have the meeting; let everyone air their views; improve the series and move on.

it really would be the adult thing to do on all sides. EVERYONE genuinely interested in making DD better surely would agree this makes sense?

i am fully aware this is tantamount to sensorship, BUT if the majority agree its a good idea i dont see why it cant work.

Great idea.

I'm certainly in favour of an 'Amnesty' on the DD issues concerning posting on here.

Well done Dickie.

NB x2

If users are in agreement not to post - certainly isnt censorship in my eyes!

Not a good post title - something like 'DD posting amnesty poll?'
might be better; pls PM me if you want it changed.

Good plan :)

NBs996 21-Oct-2006 14:02

yeah, why not.

multi600 21-Oct-2006 14:20

Nice one, gets my vote.

Zimbo16 21-Oct-2006 15:01

Gets my vote too. It's got just too childish and at times plain nasty, none of the main posters is prepared to back down or compromise, and several are stirring things up every chance they get. There may well be some valid points raised, but they're completely lost in the back biting and drivel.

Jools 21-Oct-2006 15:03

Me too

domski 21-Oct-2006 15:18

I'm saying nothing ;)

By the way I voted yes!

ericthered40 21-Oct-2006 15:52

At last :lol:

That's a joke Dom OK.:D

Good Idea Dickie.

peace at last, peace at last. M L K :)

TheDuke 21-Oct-2006 15:59

Newbie.... words??!!
 
Well i'm lost on all this dd stuff n e way... and i usually skip all the DD GUMPH anyway,

I thought this site was used to inform/help people.... and that was it, as well as the main thing....HAVIN A LAFF!!

I understand everyone has their right to their own opinion, or that things could be done better a slighty different way but C'MON!!, we are all adults, so lets start to set an example, and show everyone on the inside or the outside of DD that we ....WE... can all get along, and if there is a point to be raised, it will be raised down the proper avenue's(the meeting being 1!)

I on the other hand am not going to the meeting, as i believe i'm not in any position to attend because i've mot been a member long enough.

BUT.... I trust it's not just gonna be a WITCH HUNT!!, and myself and all the other racers will be able to enjoy a fab 2007 season!!!


From a trusting, not worrying and excited racer :frog:

Just put that down to your intelligence or lac of.

Your lack of intelligence is shown in your use of profanity when there are many other words that require use of intelligence.

Oh and you should get a spell checker, you can get a add on for firefox that will do this. Shall I explain how to install it or do you have enough intelligence?

But Dickie’s most excellent suggestion is a trade off: We stop posting about DD issues until the meeting on the 18th of November. The MT reinstate all banned/moderated members and halt all 'investigations' until the meeting on the 18th.

It would seem from the 95% “Yes” vote that there is only one side of this bargain.

Perhaps I’m missing something.
