The closing of ronchonner's thread.
Hi everyone,
Right *puts his about-to-cause-a-fuss hat on*. The last thing I want to do is start a fight, but I object slightly at Scrogg's closing of the love me/hate me thread. *nervous laugh*
He claimed the reason was because it was non-wannabe specific, but isn't part of the Pprune wannabe network the developing of a community, and isn't it slightly difficult to develop that community if we are completely restricted to plane talk??
Granted, popularity seems to be a wee bit of a problem for this guy and pleasepleaseplease lets not get into another debate about his merits, but I don't think it was right to cut the thread off.
Why not have the wannabes forum 90% aviation and the remaining 10% a chance to get to know other users? I may be jumping up the wrong tree, but I would be interested in hearing other peoples views.....If this thread doesn't get barred as well
Happy Flying,
SpeedBird22

I agree *if that's allowed* with SB, in that this is a community as well as just an informativee website about planes. People want to get to know eachother as well as just exchanging dry facts.
The Ronchonner thing is getting a bit tired now, but I think the sooner people get it out of there systems, the sooner we can get on with the job in hand.
Brave move SB22 - I'm behind you all the way (That is to say, hiding quite a long way behind you, in fact)

I don't read Wannabes that regularly, and I don't know ronchonner or his postings that well. However, my immediate feeling about that thread was that here was someone on a massive ego trip, who wanted to be talked about, whether he was loved or hated. Not appropriate. We get to know each other anyway, and PPRuNe is usually pretty flexible. Well done scroggs!

The decision by Scroggs stands.
Ultimately it's down to maintaining a reasonable signal to noise ratio for all the forums. We act as we see fit to keep each forum on the right track whether by editing, moving, deleting posts or removing posting rights.
It's our call and it's part of our job to take any flack that comes with it. When people vehemently disagree you have to remember that we can call up every post they've ever made. It's a form of quality assurance that has worked well over the years.

Now, I can see how british people are: close narrow minded people.By banning me, you ban an ATP pilot who worked hard to get his licenses.By banning me, you accept that your system is crapt and the only way to stay on this web site is to join a system which is corrupted by a ego country controlled by a racist/fachist/.../governemt.
the a$$hole who own this web site want make a quality web site with quality people.
who are you to ban me, do you think you are better than FAA pilots.
Dont you see, than we are kicking your butt!
I think you are not better than Mr bean, you are a geek,a jerk,and probably a Gay UK JAR pilot with a yellow tattoo on his dick!
eh, no offense, ok?

Thanks for your replies and lots of valid points made. I don't want people to think I am just making a fuss for no reason but would like to see a less strict, slightly freer pprune.
I do agree that ronchonners thread was very borderline and probably deserved to be barred, but there should be some (however small) scope for pprune related but non-aviation threads.
Cheers,
BAW22

I would hate to see Ronch banned, he keeps me laughing all night. I even found myself talking about him to friends at Turweston today, and yes I ballooned the landing. It happens to us all.
To ban Ronch is like Christmas without an Anti German and French film.
Stick by your Guns Ronch, generally they are facing the wrong way like 1939. I can understand Pprune Towers view but who next, Pielander, Blindside or Me, because I want porn in the gallery.

Whoa there bigfella, whoa!

Me again,
Now THAT's what I call comedy!
Ronchonner,
Allez a Jetblast toute de suite!
Cheers

"Every absurdity has it's champion" LOL...
ps I agree with the notion that Wannabes should be a little more gossipy; R&N seems to have got the useful info:general chit-chat ratio about right
Cheers again,

So, not content with aviator envy, Ronch is now into penis envy! Is there any area in which he is not inadequate?
BTW Ronch, have you scheduled your next go at the commercial exam yet? Remember, the front of the airplane is the bit with the fan on.

There is a forum on here where Ronchonner can flourish, gamboling in the spring mist like a little lamb fleeing the Foot and Mouth squad: it is JetBlast.
Takes courage to nail your colours to the mast in there, though... prisoners are not taken, and fools not tolerated gladly. Somehow, I don't think we'll see him in there...
Scroggs is 100% correct; any moderator would have done the same as he did. Good call.
