That seems a bit harsh to me. This thread is a genuine reflection of people's feelings. They are only making 19, so our opinion doesn't matter that much.

I drive a certain make of car and love it. Does that mean I should like everything they make? Am I not entitled to criticise particular models?

People are entitled to their opinions, without them this forum would be dull to nonexistant.

It's just that some guys love to show their "opinions" all too often.

Then maybe the mods should try and introduce a 'block' button like Twitter then you don't have to read what some people post

That's what I was thinking. Not just this thread but many others as well. It would be nice if some posters would think about "Am I adding any valuable information to this thread or am I just bitching?" before they hit the Submit button. It's ok to have discussions and be critical but the same old negativity wears others down after a while. Bad for the forum and the company/brand.

Just the title of this thread says enough...

Just a Twit button would do it.

You can go to a user's profile page and click Add Foe. That should hide all posts from that user.
Foes are users which will be ignored by default. Posts by these users will not be fully visible. Personal messages from foes are still permitted. Please note that you cannot ignore moderators or administrators.

^^^^ This. Some long-established users seem to have become disenchanted and dump on just about every thread. It does get wearing.

So just to make sure I understand the ground rules you're asking for, only positive posts that are good for the forum and the company should be posted and any concerns or suggestions that don't fit this profile should be withheld to avoid upsetting everyone?

Consider it done :thumbup:

^I think it's probably aimed at the posts that constantly repeat the same criticisms that creep into and often take over every thread.

Everyone loves a good moan, but moaning about the same thing over and over, day after day becomes tedious for people quickly

Not a problem, if they only want CW to hear the good stuff, that's a doddle, O:)

I agree, and I am guilty of this sometimes myself.

Trouble is, we are a passionate bunch and it **** us off to see CW make silly mistakes that damage the brand, so we are pretty vocal about it.

I would not have spent the thicker end of 8 grand on the companies products if I did not care.
