Yup, you got it Steve..
You see originally there was a faction who wanted a sports section and an equally big faction that hates footy and said it would end up being a football section.
So all involved on here agreed to keep the sports section for automotive sports ( not just bike related but anything automotive ) and keep the footy and stuff in the coffee shop.
So you see for those that have been around long enough this 'ere section is not as intended..
Just look at the forum header on the index list and it says automotive only..
There is a constant shout for a car forum.. so what if I set it up and all that was discussed was football in it ? Would that be right or correct ?
No..
But you folks know and appreciate this whole forum is to a great extent self regulating.. We all rely on each others integrity to play the game..
Take the help section.. Everyone knows the rules on there are there should be no piss taking or banter until after an answer to a problem has been reached.. Pretty much everyone ( most of the time ! ) sticks to it.
Equally, folk stick to the idea of posting a spoiler warning on posted results of any sporting events..
Self regulation does work and work well on BIRD
Basically what I am saying is that while all the other sections are great and folk more or less use each sub forum as per, on this one, for some reason, it has all got turned around and folk do not stick to the original ideas.
