Come on mate, The boys do a good job. Sure there has been a few keyboard warriors, bt you have to be quick to read it. Some threads have become incomprehensible due to the removal of posts. Aussies take the piss and use scarcasm (the lowest?? form of wit) a lot. I like scarcasm, all good mass debates go to the left right extremes and meet in the middle.

Come on, the Megatroll is running for the US presidency

“The concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive.”

"When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending the best. They're not sending you, they're sending people that have lots of problems and they're bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. ... And some, I assume, are good people."


“Laziness is a trait in the blacks. ... Black guys counting my money! I hate it.”

"If I were running 'The View,' I'd fire Rosie [O'Donnell]. I mean, I'd look her right in that fat, ugly face of hers, I'd say, 'Rosie, you're fired.'

The amount of trolls in the kitesurfing section of Seabreeze is out of control.


I reckon it needs to be cleaned up and fast.

I'd suggest that it's not "out of control", it's managed as best we can, and inappropriate stuff moved generally the same day. (i.e. both "cleaned up", and "fast")

Actually its the worst forum I use. Its worst for trolls and the most badly moderated.
You need to take a look at how kite forum is moderated. Toby does an awesome job. There are less troll and far more valuable discussions than on here.

One of the ways this forum is badly moderated is the way it deletes posts that complain about bad service from one the kite shops that put advertising on here.
Even if the shop has completely ripped someone off admin will delete that post. To the truth does not come out. Its really poor.

Trolls? Where is Brazil when we need him

These forums so that kiters could talk with each other - learning, sharing and have a good time & in 15 years that hasn't changed.

Posters in here are grown mature adults (mostly ), and you are capable of sorting stuff out by talking about it. Forums are for talking about things.

As evidenced by the posts above, the opinions on their "state" are from "rubbish" to "best ever" Ain't no satisfying that crowd!

We all want to have a great forum where people talk and nobody gets hurt. Nobody want's it "policed", and yet we need to have a vibe where everybody gets a fair say and doesn't get smashed down.

At least that's the goal...

"even if the shop has completely ripped someone off". "the truth does not come out"

That pretty much explains why we delete posts that complain about people or businesses. Indeed the truth does not come out. One man's "ripped off" is just his perspective. I've heard both sides of most arguments, most of the time.

And that's what they are .. arguments. The only way to win an argument is to avoid it. Somebody might "win", but there will always be casualties, and from my experience, those casualties are everybody, so, yes, we nip them in the bud.

Here's the policy:

Complaints about a business/associations


<div class="help1">When this occurs, the poster is usually quite fired up and emotional. Often the customer is now out to cause as much damage as possible to the business with the mission that they are "fully justified" (their words) and "simply stating facts" (their words) about the business/association. This may be the case .. or not. There are many sides to any story. The point is that the Seabreeze forums are not the appropriate place to resolve the issue. Go to the appropriate legal/government authority and do it there. Choose not to, and end up in hot water.

As soon as you flame a business, you'll usually get supporters of the business come out in defence and question your behaviour and motives. People interested in the discussion will seek more information from you. It soon descends into an argument containing many and varied versions of the truth and everybody goes home unhappy. It has never ended well for anybody.

The business is damaged, the poster now has a stigma in the forum community (and now can't deal with many shops because the shops know what will happen if they cross this customer - there business will get dragged through the mud.) And of course, there's also the situation when the poster does not really have a complaint, but is simply a competitor or naive associate of a business who thinks the way to get more business is to degrade the competition. A special note: This applies (and has been applied) to any business, not just businesses that sponsor the site.

Laurie - you should write a psychology self-help book. Pretty much makes good sense to me.

Is this why you always get green thumbs!?

See? I am traumatised still.

Personally I am not in agreement with yor display pic, looks like croc dundees head sticking out a shoe.. Haha but I get the impression that some posters just attract the red irregardless of the posts content.. Maybe you are haunted by the ghosts of your past posts

My post is genuine and I stand by it. So far some people are proving my point for me.

I always come back to this thought. Would we all stand by what we write on this forum and say the same stuff, act the same way in person?.

Picture this: standing on the beach bummed out to hear a kiter drowned and some dick head starts going, "Oh he deserved it, should have got lessons", you know the all too often crap you read on here. Would you guys tolerate it? Would the guy have even had the courage to make such a stupid comment in real life?

But hey, if the masses on this forum think that's cool then yep I'll move on and leave them to it.

if he drowned and needed lessons he wasnt a "kiter" he was a swimmer (and clearly not a very good one) , **** those swimming scum put them in a hole with the dog walkers and light them on fire

I am bumping this as kozzie actually made tea come out my nose with this reply.

To the OP see the forum for what it is. Half the stuff on here does provide useful information in regards to the sport, whilst the other half can provide great entertainment. There are twats on here at times (as in any environment) but its easy enough to skip past the stuff you don't like to get what you need from the forum.

In regards to Bnuts can someone please let us know if he'll be appearing on the Goldie over the weekend. I wanna book my tickets but if the main attraction isn't doing a show I may reconsider.

Perhaps he is on the road to the GC and that's why we haven't heard from him...? Book those tickets mate!

You mean their business will get dragged through the mud Laurie...

Misuse of the possessive determiner of the third-person plural personal pronoun, yet ANOTHER example of the way this forum is badly moderated.
