Hey!
Time to vent!
Somedays we're at a loss moderating these forums.
The vast majority of posters are excellent value, writing really helpful stuff, keeping it fun and not offending anybody.
However, it's winter and not everybody is getting the wind fix they need so the forums get a little crazy for a while.
We do our best to keep things on track - people have pretty high expectations of our moderation skills here and we do the best we can. Somedays we make mistakes, others not.
Our goal is, and always has been, to have a friendly forum that everybody enjoys.
One recent topic quickly descended into people playing with their willies. Maybe we need a "Grommit Club" category where the < 20's can banter in their "special style"?
There's also plenty of industry politics across the country with people creating aliases to post to themselves and folks with vested interests flaming other businesses/brands. Competition is alive and well in the kitesurfing industry!
A few guys target the writer when posting, rather than sticking to the subject at hand .. I urge these people to "play the ball, not the man".
I just wanted to write that we're 100% focused on keeping the forums a fun, fair and enjoyable place for everybody - writers, readers and sponsors.
There is a limit we can do, as we're the moderators/mediators, not the writers and we encourage everybody to aim high!
We've updated the "Posting Guidelines" to contain more detail, for those who are interested.
Many of you PM/Email me with your ideas, frustrations & grievances, which is appreciated. If you've got some constructive ideas, let us know by email, or below!
To Infinity And Beyond!!
Enjoy .. Lozza
That way a diff of opinion can still be robustly contested 
(even if a little heated) for hopefiully some info on the topic to be unearthed.
