There is a general tone of rubbish in a lot of threads of late and seems to be a lack of moderation - the swearing and abuse seem to be a bit over the top.
I used to like how these fourms were very much self moderating and fellow users often remined others of the required behaviours, but currently give some one a suggestion that they may be over the top and be prepared to get abused and added to this a full mail box of heated abusive mail.
I agree with you. The profanity does seem to slip through a bit more than it should.
Fortunately, I am one of those who strongly opposes the profanity, etc., and does speak up to users at times about it.
We can all do a part to tell the swearers to quit it, for it is forbidden from these forums by the Code of Conduct.
Be grateful that we still have these
official Trainz Discussion Forums; the forums owned by USLW/JointedRail, located at
http://trainzforums.com/ (notice how that Web address is very
official-sounding

), seem to have some inappropriate content and language, such as in the thread "Thing that make you go LOL" (a thread which is just the type of thread to attract such garbagge, which is made obvious even by just the thread's title). I am very appalled at that, and would never, ever, register on those forums.
Regards.
