Quote: BarnyardEngineering (quoted from post at 14:21:15 09/28/21) Clearly none of you have any idea how a forum works. Nobody is here 24/7 reviewing every post that comes through.
I speak from experience here as a former moderator for a very large forum site that had dozens of moderators, and even there they could not review every post. For one thing moderator was a volunteer position and the moderators had lives and jobs to attend to above and beyond their moderator duties.
The job of a forum moderator is more of a "firefighter" than anything. Normal readers like you and I are going to come across the questionable posts long before a moderator does. That's what the "REPORT TO MODERATOR" button is for. You bring the questionable posts to their attention and they make a judgement call whether it stays or gets poofed.
How many posts have you reported? If none, then you have no right to complain.
Moderators also have to balance keeping the peace with being too heavy-handed. On a forum like this as long as folks are getting along, they play pretty fast and loose with the rules. When it ceases to be civil, or is a subject that has quickly degraded into name calling and personal attacks in the past, then the poof hammer comes out.
I know exactly how a forum works. I am a member of many. I have reported a number of posts here at various times with generally zero action taken.
I don't really care who posts what where, I just find it annoying to read things that are out of context with the actual forum that they are posted in. That doesn't show this site in a good light.
I've been involved in conversations on other sites about this site. There were very few favourable comments, mostly because of how the topics are all over the place and the incompatibility of the two versions complicating things needlessly.
I'm sure nothing is going to change though so I expect this discussion is mostly a waste of time.

Today's Featured Article - A Cautionary Tale - by Ian Minshull. In the early 1950s my father bought an Allis Chalmers B and I used it for all the row crop work with the mangolds and potatoes, rolling and the haymaking on our farm. The farm and the Allis were sold and I have spent a lifetime working on farms throughout the country. I promised myself that one day I would own an Allis. That time event
