Folks

A quick update on the forums following a WRCS committee meeting last night:

1. We have taken down the 'WRCS Club Discussions' forum, in response to many concerns (from members as well as the committee) about the content and function of this forum. It has been replaced by a 'WRCS Announcements' section which is "read only" ie it will be used to update members on club news but will not be an open discussion forum (although it will stay in the forum section of the site). If any member, committee or otherwise, wishes to post into this forum, they can do so via me or Col B but please use us sparingly as we have day jobs (or, at least, I do. Col mostly plays golf and goes fishing!) and we will post their news if relevant/appropriate
2. I have tweaked the forum rules which you can see here: [RULES], given there has been quite a bit of negative/disappointing material over the last few months and, regardless of an individual's personal mindset, I reckon all WRCS members deserve to enjoy what they read, not be distressed, irritated or concerned by it
3. Given item 2. above, I'll also emphasise that Col and I will be moderating the content at our own, personal, voluntary discretion. Neither of us is responding to external views, instructions or demands. If we do delete a post, or we edit the content of a post, we'll have done it with the best interests of all WRCS members at heart. We're not destroying free speech, but we are helping make the web site a happy and enjoyable place, not somewhere that people need to grit their teeth before visiting. Please be tolerant!
