Dont put contact details on the open forums, you obviously know the rules as you are doing your dambest to break them!

Why can't the Moderators get their point across in a polite and friendly manner rather than accuse people of 'trying their damnedest' to break the rules?

Perhaps having amassed a grand total of just 3 other posts they are realtively new to what they can and cannot do and perhaps deserve the benefit of the doubt.

Future posts from the couple will reveal if they are rule breakers or just a young genuine couple or not. Either way, can't we cut people a bit of slack?

We have had to disguise the email address a little so that it does not get censored, but we're sure you get the idea.
Hope to hear from you soon

I am aware of what they wrote and my point is more towards the way in which the Moderators and site regulars can sometimes make their points.
I think it comes across as slightly aggressive. "Trying their dambest (sic)" is still a bit O.T.T. In anyone's book.
And let's really not be naive enough to think that a good portion of people now make contact through disguising contact emails etc since the rules changed. Are we really going to be that petty?

Here we go - the regulars come out in force.
I am just saying there are ways to make your point and if you are putting the onus on me dearest Malcolm, then i would've made the point rather more politely - that's all.
I understand that rules are there for a reason, but I am just stating what has become a common thread on a regular basis - that sometimes the Mods and Regulars can come across slightly aggressively when making their points. Now that is a fact.
I am not here to wage a war with anyone, but just feel we can make a point in a less aggressive manner.

Mal when it comes to nitpicking you are up there with the best of them. You are probably the most opinionated regaular on here.
I don't mean that in a bad way, but it's true.
And Dave69 - the original point is that even though these people were rulebreakers - they remain new to the forum (4 posts) and deserved a bit of slack as a consequence.
End of story.
I have made my point, which i believe is a valid one, and people are entitled to agree or disagree. I am a pacifist and prefer things to be done on a more amicable level. That was my original point and i won't be harangued into thinking there is anything wrong with that.

Drexxx I made that edit, and believe me I really did think about the wording of it. If they had just put there email on the open forum, the message would have told them that it wasnt allowed, but they clearly stated in their post that they were doing everything they could to post it. They clearly knew they were breaking the rules (they have stated as much in their post) so why should I go out of my way to be nice to someone who is obviously trying to break the rules?
You know me Drexxx, I am not rude but I dont like people who feel it is ok to take the piss and treat the other users (regulars or non regulars) as if we are idiots, which is what these two were obviously trying to do.
