Ducati Sporting Club UK > General > Idle Chat > DSC message board etiquette PLEASE READ

As it happens today (6th March) we had a Management Team meeting and the subject of the attitude and content of some of our message board members was discussed. Paul (pyschlist) you make some very valid points in your message on the “men and motors” thread and I did quote the gist of it to the MT.

This message board is paid for by the membership of this club and as such the membership through the MT have the say on how it is run. We value this message board as a tool for existing members and as a way of attracting new members to the club. It is also a tremendous asset to us as a feel for what and how we are to the likes of Ducati UK and Ducati Italy. To allow the tone of a few to put off perhaps many is not acceptable, and will not be tolerated. We will now delete without discussion if the type of abuse and lack of respect for others continues. Differing opinions are fine as long as respect is shown for the other person or persons. We as a club need to be welcoming to newbies and do acknowledge that the tone of some other websites message boards may be different from ours, but when in our house please follow our etiquette.

We are planning some changes to this site now to get the speed issue sorted and then to change the workings of the entire site; we are investing time and money into this and do not want spend time over negative rubbish.
