I feel safe on this Forum as thanks to the rules abuse and bad language are not tolerated but you are given adequate freedom to express your views.    Report

It is in their interest to ensure that 'negative' or critical postings are removed.  I think that as long as you view the forum in that context you will be fine.    Report

It is in their interest to ensure that 'negative' or critical postings are removed.  I think that as long as you view the forum in that context you will be fine. Yep! Correct.  That is why I wanted this debate.  Of course that is true.  LF want to paint a lovely view of perfect life in France.  It's just that as a member of the public I happen to care that someone might throw a bit of caution to the wind, sell up their house, move their kids to a foreign country all in the name of selling magazines. Maybe I shouldnt care but as it is an open Forum I have my moment to say what I think or raise some important questions. Deby http://www.chateau-de-clerac.com    Report

Good grief, read the rules, but to make it very simple the answer is NO not in the forum. You will now ask why, the reason is that likewise it is not for the Moderators to discuss the rules either but to apply them. The rules or Code of Conduct to give its correct name and to which you agreed to abide by when you joined the forum are the sole domain of Archant. If however in hindsight you now feel you are unable to keep to them please feel free to leave the forum. Other than that if you have a problem with the rules and at the risk of repeating what has been said several times already contact Forum Admin, his contact details can be found here http://www.completefrance.com/cs/forums/187/ShowForum.aspx Please feel free to report all the posts which break the Code of Conduct (that is exactly why we have a Report button), it will help us no end as we to have lives outside the forum and can't monitor every single post. http://www.chambresdhote.com    Report
