Concerns about the recent quality of Posts

[James S]

Hopefully I'm not the only one thinking this, but regardless I shall speak out.

I'm concerned about the degredation in quality of posts on this forum, in terms of repetative questions and abusiveness. I do not believe this to be the general case, but things do seem to be getting worse.

There is a lot of repetition in questions being asked as new topics.

This can be avoided by using the search or advanced search functions, the latter being a most effective tool on this site. This forum has been running a while now, and many ideas and concepts and problems have been raised.

Before posting a new topic, do a search. Your question has possibly already been discussed at length.

Next, and more importantly, There is never any need to be abusive or insulting towards other forum members.

We are all here because we wish to learn about that which is beyond the material world. Some of us have had experiences we don't understand, some to seek help with personal problems, and some to impart knowledge that they have gained. This site is about growth, becoming something more than you are now.

Growth is not assisted by thoughtless people tearing down others because they disagree with an opinion, think they know better, or are just plain irritated by a comment. There is a great diversity in cultures and ages of the members of this site. We do not all think the same way. Bear that in mind before criticising someone.

This forum is unique. How about we keep it that way by leaving any of our closed minded attitudes behind when we log in.

Best wishes to all,

James.
