General Discussion
I've decided to kill the 'India bans gay sex' thread started by Paul since it was clearly intended to express a homophobic prejudice rather than to start a legitimate debate on the news story. Since the comments by Paul were offensive - to gay men in particular - it breached the t&c's of the site. Apologies to those who took the time to comment, especially Neilh who contributed a poem.
@User 4549 , your last post with the same title 'Islam at its best' turned out to be a hoax for which you apologised. In your new post, some Muslims broke the law and were jailed for doing so. So why is this Islam at its best? I have already had complaints about racism on this forum and I am concerned about the tone of your posts and where you intend these posts to go.
Sorry @FredBassett , I really don't see anything wrong with what @Sbooty has started here and what @Brazilnut has contributed to in this thread. The regeneration and the new strand are the things people are discussing at the moment and I don't want to censor or delete posts just because people disagree on things. It wouldn't be much of a forum if people were not allowed to disagree...
sorry @neilh , at the moment there is no voting module available, but i will look into getting one. also, i'll look into having a disagree button.
Well it is not necessarily true that the thread should run in the opposite direction. Most forum threads run in order of date posted from top to bottom. You are probably thinking of 'comment' sections on news and social sites which are not forums. However, I had considered the problem of having to scroll down on long threads a while back and thought of a solution that would suit this site ...
@wondering , the problem with having separate discussion sections is that people tend to just ignore them and post in the most popular section anyway. in the old days, we used to have a 'council/politics' section, but everyone posted in the 'general' or 'backyard' sections. By the way, it doesn't have to be set up by me because anyone can create a new discussion group, which is basically the ...
Hi Don, Sorry, but if it is not in your outbox it didn't reach Dawlish.com. You are right though in pointing out it would be good to be able to save a message before sending it so I will look into doing this before the next release.
Yes, many thanks Chef for your contributions to this site, and all the best for the future. I hope you will leave your section on here and visit the site once and a while. Feel free to add links to your new blog if you like. Also feel free to add a few photos of your new location. Good Luck and Best Wishes, webmaster.
PS. Please press CTRL-F5 to refresh the site's colours which are just slightly sharper, hopefully.
The update has now been carried out. Dawlish.com now has private messaging so that people can provide private information such as a phone number or an email to another member as is sometimes necessary. This is turned on by default, but can be turned off in the user settings section. Note that we only supply the username as the person who is making the contact in the message and not any ...
