    Well, yes, but I wouldn't have been sure it was a backward step until we tried it and got your (and other's) feedback...

    As I mentioned many fora that I contribute to and respect greatly use this feature a lot, so it was worth investigating its usefulness or otherwise.

    Seeing the reaction on this thread I think we'll probably re-open the original thread and keep in mind the views on this thread when using the 'close thread' feature in the future!
    Franck.

    There's an A.P.P. for that!

    To use a 'bouncer' analogy, yeah, bouncers can get physical. But a good bouncer tries to stop it ever getting that far.

    On this forum, I know there are times when I could have done with a mod giving a gentle nudge saying "You're going a bit far - wanna tone it down?". But this never seems to happen, instead the mods wait for things to blow up and then start deleting and infracting.

    In the thread under discussion, I would have preferred a "Cool it guys, or we'll have to close the thread" warning before it was closed (although I was personally pretty much done with it anyhow).

    Just my $0.02c.
    I go along with that.

    But to be fair I did get that nudge earlier on in the thread from DB. It did work for a while but I then got the better of myself.

    Sorry mate.

    Is it teaching people to do loads of moves, ignoring technique, and then dancing with everybody and anybody. The intention being that they do exactly the opposite.


    Or maybe this is just an ironic dance forum?

    I think Mr Baileys irony can be really ironic sometimes
