Trailers, Debates, Community Membership and Stuff

As you will see, the issue of trailers has prompted some keen debate. This of course is what the community is all about. Members have strong feelings and are airing them in a forceful but civilised way. We may or may not agree with the views but we respect each poster is entitled to their opinion. Either way the community provides a valuable sounding board and quite a few influential MCC/ACTC committee members look in on the posts. So we are influential and I certainly believe member’s views posted here had some influence on The Lands End staying at Easter.

However, this brings me back to an old chestnut, that of real names. The participants in the trailer debate are either using their real names or we (regular competitors) know who they are. This means that if they go too far they know they will have to look the other person in the eye in the queue for breakfast at Tintinhull or wherever.

If you look at the community rules, you will see it is mandatory for members to either use their real names, use a nickname so that regular triallers know who you are and/or have an e-mail address that we can contact you on.

This can be done in your member profile so those only members can see it.

I see we have new members who do not comply with these conditions. If you are in this category please do not post to the community until you go to your member profile and use your full real name, or a nickname so that we (or at least I) know who you are and use a bona fide e-mail address. Otherwise, I will have to block your posts.
