I'm loath to post on a race thread on this matter, but just a couple of brief points.Originally Posted by Darwen Dashers Calvin
The drivel was in the main from FRA Committee members and trolls who were either abusive or just sarcastic on what was a very serious thread.
So serious that it lead to a further review of the Safety Requirements by the FRA Committee back in 2013 and a series of road shows to try and satisfy the ROs that they could comply with the new regs.
That drivel led 2 of the 3 forum moderators to resign, both citing incognito FRA Committee members trying to stifle a proper, serious discussion by trolling.
Look at Safety regs today and you will see they have moved even further in the direction that AI and others advocated so I'd suggest it achieved something.
There is a more serious point about the forum generally. In my opinion it should be for all.
If we want to talk about GPS, waterproofs and other equipment fine.
I also like to read about events up to and post race. Often useful information and advise can be gained from the many knowledgeable folk on the forum.
It should also be a forum for discussing general safety rules, competition rules, governance. It's the only vehicle to do this for most.
The subjects are often grouped very nicely and you can quite easily avoid the ones that don't appeal.
