7-day bans for Bas Jaski and Barbedwyre for posting political/religious content outside the permitted area. Patrick Dixon and bmwracer issued warnings for participating.
To clarify, F1's official position is that politics is part of F1, but discussions about this should be in the P/R area? The ban on grid girls is here. Women / gender issues in F1 are also here. Can we discuss Merc's black cars, LH's and BE's comments in this section or should it go in P/R?
You're absolutely correct. If you want to talk about social-political components of F1, P&R is always open 24/7, in fact we encourage folks to discuss to their heart's content. I'll discuss with mods to see perhaps a sub forum might even facilitate those that want to talk about BLM, Hamilton's latest hair style, or Bernie's thoughts about Italians.
7-day bans for kes7u and Terra for continuing to post political/religious content outside the permitted area. There is a section of the forum where that content is permitted, we have no tolerance for it outside that area.
Thanks Paul, because it's starting to be very difficult to post around here expect if you're an elton fan.
I had one discussion about having perhaps a subsection, and it doesn't work when tried in the past. Folks still spillover their discussions.
Yep that Williams was on another level. Ferrari wasn't truly competitive until 2000, and we saw a nice tight battle with the outstanding Mika. Exactly how F1 should be !
I'm not so sure about that PAUL, before elton got an unbeatable car, there were no problems arund here, sute there were many discussions, but this was an amazing place, with top posters, lot's of info and great stories, then the Trolls arrived and they were no dealt with acordingly...they were eventualy banned but not before disturbing the peace, and that gave force for many others to came and of course, with Elton winning they became more and more insuferable. Even if they didn't meant to, the truth is that many mods started to "protect" Elton fans agains the bad "Tiffosi", and it got to a point were this was reversed, and they can now speak freely, and we can't. Many of us have asked time, and time again for a Sub forum for Ferrari fans only (let's face it, it would make lot's of sense, this is Ferrarichat after all, and all of us asking for it are the ones that over the years have contributed the most for this place). Truth is, we just wan't back the f.1 section we had, we don't mind if you give this one to Elton fans, heck, the day he starts losing or retires, he will take the Trolls with him, and this will be a desert, you can be sure of that. Why not give the people that are here because they love and root for Ferrari a place were they can discuss freely without being banned every other week? What harm can it do? The only ones that will opose to it are the Trolls, because without us, their reason to exist will simple cease! Some of the most knowlegeable and interviening menbers have been permanetly banned or have given up on this place, many of them have been contributing with posts, stories, news saily for over 10 years, i think it would be motre than fair to give them a place were we could continue to do so, because clearly this is no longer that place.
No, that was a diferent thing (and they banned him forever from f-chat, and from the f.1 section aircon, then Pete, etc).....all of these could and should have been avoided, everyone would gain by them being here, (except the trolls) so please, just create a space for true F.1 Ferrari enthusiasts, this is a Ferrari forum after all! People will still discuss, some will like Leclerc, others will say Seb is a disgrace, but we won't have to listen to Mercedeschat all day long! In any other place of this forum a similar situation would not have been alowed, everyone knows this, )11 fans crashing into the 488 section saying the 488 is crap and 911 is the greates wouldn't last long, so why allow it here? You wan't to make the f.1 section aplace for all fans and teams? fine, but give the ferrari fans a place of their own, how hard can it be?
7-day ban for ypsilon for posting political content. Warning for ingegnere for posting pic that led to the comment.
Post all the criticisms or plaudits of Hamilton you want, EXCEPT any comment on his politics. If you want to do that, post in the P&R forum.
