Suits me sir!🤒

Strongly supported from my side. I do not like it either but if required there should be an invisible hand. Dear my Adam Smith ;-) 

Hello everybody

I can't find a more impartial judge than you.

"In addition, Apple threads will be moved to the relevant area and derails of other threads will not be tolerated. I don't mind off topic posts but the constant return to Apple topics in every thread is making the site unreadable. Even on my Mac!"

That sounds perfect to me.

I have missed all of this having reduced my forum visits. However, I can see from the contributor records that there has been a BS 4 thread with a great number of contributions from one half of the electrifying duo [...] 

That would be me. I entered into a discussion when I had had enough of Apple fanboyism with no basis in reality. And him having to be dishonest to defend his position. I'm glad to hear that Apple comments now will be moved. I'm as tired of it as the next guy, hence me accepting the discussion when someone praised Apple to no end as a response to my post.

So what if we came close on some previous occassion.You say that in the same breath without even a comma in between.  I have tidied up a bit, but that doesn't mean I let people spew nonsense unfettered.

With that said, I'm okay with this moderation.

I'm under 40 :) Just.

I also don't see the need to move comments on Apple products if someone is making a post about quality (or lack of it) and referring to an Apple product in their example. Discussions can cross between topics and involve other brands.

On a serious note, of course there should be some moderation involved. Deleting an entire thread though? Why not just add a warning to the thread and lock it? This way we can see the offending posts and the reason for the closure. Without it, we can only speculate.

Screw that, not worth it to be banned for responding in detail to this. So this is the shortened version:
