Please feel free to let your friends know we are here by email or word of mouth etc freemotorhominguk.comHowever Phil from WC4MH has messaged us to say that people have been putting links on the WC4MH Facebook page. He regards those links as spam (unwanted/irrelevant communication) so although we can't tell anyone what to do, we should respect Phil's wishes in that regard.

From personal experience, Phil seemed to moderate quite heavily. Another reason for me to leave.

If they exist Phil removed the posts as he didn't believe they were appropriate. One can see his point of view. He's running a commercial site. If one owned a pub, one wouldn't post adverts in your window telling people to visit the pub down the road. We can post links to them because we are not a commercial site and it doesn't matter if we send traffic his way, which we will, when we get properly linked. Also, morally you can argue we owe them some traffic as most of us did meet on the other site. Both sites can coexist. Both sites can benefit each other. They have things we don't have. We have things they don't have. Some people will be a member of one, some will be a member of both. But it would the right thing to do to respect Phil's wishes and not promote this site on their site.

Interesting. I posted the above 'Ditto' reply, then I received an email stating that my automatic payment for the other site has been cancelled. Coincidence? I was certainly surprised, but it saves me having to ask for it to be cancelled.

I'm sure there's room for several forums but some forum-owners do seem to be regarding this one as a threat....

From what I understand, there never was a post advertising this site on WC's forum but rather on WC's Facebook page.
Not quite the same thing is it

Actually, WC does not make it clear that it is a commercial site, that is to say, a for profit site. For all the world, it looks like any other community site, which might explain why people are posting links to other community sites.
And if it is a commercial site, I might expect more even handed protection from bullying in forums, as in the form of personal attacks.
But we are not all the same and we don't all like the same things or see things the same way, for which I give many thanks. For me though, and taken as a whole, I don't have much that is good to say about how I see it run and, these days, it takes up no space in my head, except in threads such as these, and this reminds me that I think I have met more refugees from WC than current members.
But it works for some people. /shrug

It's always tricky balancing the the "banter" and freedom of speech with protection for members.
I don't think it is something you can do which will please everyone at once.

You can't please all of the people all of the time!
