In 'General' yes. But when the main action of the week was moved to 'Local Politics' I found I was barred and unable to comunicate with the mods to see if it could be fixed given that I had useful information.

Instead the whole thing ended up being debated on Sydenham Town Forum. Good for STF, bad for the other forum.

The architecture appears to me tbe rather labyrinthine and I find I'm locked out of the more interesting bits. Given they have been losing someone who has involved in local community organisations for over 30 years, run a local business for 25, has an unblemished posting record there and on many other fora - it seems a bit sub-optimal.

I prefer the KISS approach to discussion areas. But then I started with Usenet newsgroups ... a real badge free universe!
