The FAB-Aviation Group forum has been up and running for around 18 months. In that time, it has been refreshing that there have been no instances of any 'slanging matches' / trolls etc... Unfortunately, I am aware that these have been a feature of some other forums.
Sadly, however, I have been contacted by one of our members who has brought an issue to my attention. Although not posted on the forum, persons claiming to be members of the 'Farnborough' forum, spouted off some particularly unpleasant verbal abuse. Whether they were members of our 'FAB' forum, or the similarly titled 'Farnborough' one remains uncertain. The member that received the abuse has posted to both. Nevertheless, I would like to remind members that such behaviour will not be tolerated. If the perpetrators are identified, I will have no hesitation in barring them from the forum, and changing its accessibility settings so that only members can access the group.
Clearly, as the vast majority of members and guests seem to be a fairly happy bunch of souls, I would prefer not to have to do this. But hey, there's always the possibility of a few numpties spoiling it for the vast majority.
Hopefully, I can persuade the member involved to continue to contribute to the forum.
Here's a 'top tip' from the New Testament of the Bible - Matthew Chapter 7, Verse 12 - In everything, then, do to others as you would have them do to you.
Other religions and religious quotes are available.
In the meantime, happy spotting.
