Saga Zone shut down

Didn't know this existed but abusive posts got it shut down! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...ullying-offensive-comments.html#axzz2K8jPGAOC

I saw that LIAM - worse than us!

Banned for speaking up for other people, oh dear....goodbye all!

I bet a lot of cruising went on as well?

Oh yes....Us oldies know how to live dangerously

what a shame for the regulars. looks like the usual thing as well - a minority group of bullies/trolls ruining it for everyone else.

Yes Trolls really do spoil things.

"what a shame for the regulars. looks like the usual thing as well - a minority group of bullies/trolls ruining it for everyone else."

wonder what's so offensive about that. how very strange. or just plain childish. as ever, you decide folks.

How very strange.

Like the mysterious Monsieur L'Oeuf du Cane ( Duck Egg) who was with us for such a short time recently.

Well you have lost me on that.

Just had to re-post PP, made me laugh!
Surprising to see that people seemed to get banned for apparently no reasons tho? Hmmm praps there were a very small minority of bigots on the Saga site but the closure could possibly have been also because these sites are expensive to run. Not enough £'sss bye bye, just a thought...

Also just wanted to say that I feel that the Q forum has been great the last couple of days, back to how it was when I joined in Oct. Really funny banter, good information, support & advice & not a closed thread in sight! Ahhhh :angel:

Monsieur made a brief appearance and posted an unpleasant comment about a forum member Lynn. It was removed. Monsieur seems to have moved on- perhaps to the Saga Forum.

Thanks for the translation FP. When i saw his/her post, I was puzzling over the name for days. They were banned very quickly after 2 posts, I wonder was it a previous member under another name.

Seems to me a lot of people make a brief appearance.

I confess I had to use my google translator to get the duck bit. There was quite a debate about the colour duck egg on the forum a while ago so I wondered whether it was a returnee as well Itchy.

I think people are getting paranoid.

I think any forum is going to be subjected to nutters & trolls on occasion as anyone with access to a computer can join in. Missed this latest one but there is the rare occasion on here when I read a post & think "WHAT???!". Usually the people who provoke such a response & continue with similar posts either leave or get banned on here.

Such an odd user name attracted my interest , not paranoia.

Plenty of odd names on ST IMO.
