What has happened to Bluebell21? I am asking as I can't believe such a large part of this community has left.

I for one will miss her input.

    It's strange. AppleJacks, WhatThe, and now BlueBell all seem to have left the forum within the space of a few days.

    Hi @Chris75, Sadly, Bluebell chose to leave the forum today, she is ok. I'll pass her the kind comments you've made (and @michael57 ). Thank you.

    I believe this forum was in place long before they had joined it. If they're dismissing the online community house rules and are refusing to respect them, simply because these rules are not dancing to their tune, then, they're free to go set up their own forum and rules!

    This is very true, we are free to leave and set up elsewhere, but i don't imagine asking a simple question breaks any rules?

    A "simple question" can absolutely break online community forum rules if its content or intent violates the forum's specific guidelines. I can give you a tone of examples on this.

    Asking a question solely to provoke an argument which indirectly mocks or insults others can be a rule violation. This is called trolling or baiting.

    For instance, AppleJacks asked others to ignore me. Although I didn't give a monkey's about it, leave alone complaining about it, this is targeting another forum user, which constitues a direct violation of respectful communication rules.

    I can't argue with anything you have said @Passerby, but i was referring to a now former member asking what members thought about the disiplinary procedures. Asking that can't surely be breaking any rules?
