Agree on that.
Maybe Guests should have their own forum here to discuss and reason through showing topics which the mods can still watch over.
What do you think?

I thought we tried it before without guests it was rather boring and the members voted for the guests to return? I think most people that get slated on here are more than capable to stick up for themselves and any post can quickly be removed if asked. I think there may be a few evil posters but they are in the minority and many members will stick up for anyone getting an unfair deal and dont forget guestless we all live in fear!

Come on Admin be honest with us so we can respect your action. Why have you suddenly stopped guests posting? 
Far worse issues have been publicised on this site than the BSPS Lead rein "Crisis" and you've allowed them and all the slagging off to continue.
Think back to the disgusting way the Welsh D Ridden people have treated each other, people marketing themselves on the web, etc and far worse!
What brought you to the point where you stopped the Guests posting over what looked to be one incredulous faut pas at a Championship Show?
It begs belief if the BSPS Lead Rein thread caused the turnaround. Why halt free speach for that?
Have you or the site been threatened by those involved?
Evidently some are extremely good at that 
Realistically only the venerable and the wrong slip to such behaviour. Be brave. Be Strong and tand firm. Allow for freedom of speech, expression.
Think aboout Nelson Mandela unveiling his statue today. He spoke out and you need to allow us to continue to as well with the freedom of knowing we do not have to join a Club!  .

If you read back through this thread you will see that all your questions have already been answered. But to re-iterate:
The BSPS thread was removed because we had a request to do so. We always remove threads when requested to do so.
The decision was made to make the lounge area members only in response to a number of threads, not just one. The mods had been taking a lot of flack for comments made by guests. As a member if someone is aggreived by what you say they can send you a PM.
As stated several times before, we do allow free speech and expression. We do however have a responsibility to make sure you do this within the rules of the site and within the law. (read post #3 on this thread).
The mods on this site have been doing their best under difficult circumstances. We are all approachable and will remove any posts if requested to do so by a registered user. The more moderators we have the less chance there is of something slipping through the net.
You seem to be unable to get past the BSPS thread, even though several of the mods have done their best to explain their actions to you. If you have a problem with the BSPS please take it up through the proper channels.

Luvvie,
Actually this was Peter Borough's idea l was just confiming that l thought it would be great idea but then added my doubt...
As for the things that were said about me l have little concern over that, l am big enough and old enough to deal with such issues, it was just to remind people of the reason's why l would find it hard to join a group of people who are very vindictive/nasty in their own way without reason. Like l have said there are one or two people on here who l have a lot of respect for, and it is because of those very few people l am still visiting this site.

Which topic shall we all start with?
I'm concerned at the number of ponies being ridden in Swale bits. I don't wish to criticise but do wonder why these are being used as I was brought up to be snaffle minded with progression to double bridles. can someone explain why swales have become so popular and how they work. Thanks

FTSE well done for making a start bu like you l was bought up with the snaffle, really know very little about Swale bit as l only do in hand showing nowadays but l am sure someone can enlighten us.

There's no problem with debating types of bits, but can you start a new thread to do it so that this one doesn't become a seriously long thread that covers lots of different issues.  |

Evidently some are extremely good at that I've not been threatened as such, but I did receive 2 phone calls from someone I have never met before in my life about the BSPS lead rein thread - that is something that has never happened as a result of any other thread. Although I don't hide my identity on here as such, someone chose (without asking me of course!) to give out my personal details and the person complaining used them. I give my time on here to try to help things along, but getting phone calls from people I don't know is IMO above and beyond the call of duty.  |

You poor thing. I know someone who used to get very late, threatening, unpleasant calls from someone associated with that thread so hope the same didn't happened to you.
Advice would be to leave them dig their own grave.

Hi Guestless, If you have cause for concern over the way you were contacted regarding the BSPS M&M Lead Rein and if the call came from a Council Member or member of either the NPS or BSPS then please can you inform the Chairmen of these organisations in writing or by email as soon as possible so that these incidents can be taken in account when looking at the bigger picture.

The person who called wasn't abusive, just angry at the posts and the fact they hadn't been moderated. It was said that it was going to be taken further, but I guess we'll need to wait and see if that happens. To be honest, my brain wasn't functioning properly during the calls (darn head cold) so most of the conversation went in one ear and out the other. |

Have you thought about the possibility of your personal details being online for all to see, all it needs is someone who knows where to look. |

Yes they are, but you would still need to know who I am to be able to look them up. The person who called me told me that someone had advised them who I was and given them my number. |

if you are civil and friendly to people you will soon learn their 'real' names as i have found out on another forum. if you rub people up the wrong way or continually post like a child then expect to be treated like one

OK so are we now allowed to post, seems to change like the wind, it would be good to know who the mods really are. I agree some judges seem to be more favoured than others  |

Browsed through the threads and snoticed that this year's HOYS M&M WHP final is full of Historic ponies in fact it looks more exciting than the flat classes. Two Olympia champions, two previous champions, probably the best Connemara WHP there's ever been, three Welsh Performance champions, several top form BSPS plaited Natives. Looks to be a vintage year.

I agree some judges seem to be more favoured than others Maybe you should tell us all who you really are as well then? Can you explain your comment about some judges being more favoured than others? If this is (yet another) comment relating to the BSPS LR thread, I can confirm it was deleted at the request of an exhibitor and nothing to do with the judge. |

I dont object to guests posting on the forum...only to those that try to air libelous comments.  sometimes the guests posts can lead to some lively debates, as long as they are kept in the most part friendly...then I dont see a problem. The MODS can police these posts and we can all go back to our lively gossip and debating |
