Re: NMMA Facebook Pages

Mark,

I am trying to have a sensible discussion with members re the biggest threat to our hobby in it's existence

The perpetrator under one of his many alias's - manchester - is kicking off his he-say she-say again. Just delete anyone who does not comply with straightforward sensible, constructive discussion.

Re: NMMA Facebook Pages & Rules of Posting

As a users guide to the Forum;

1) I'm happy to delete provocative postings from potential trouble makers and dubious characters.
2) It has also been suggested that entries that get posted without a valid e-mail address being given should also be deleted. This would appear to be a good suggestion and one that I'm prepared to act on in future.
3) The subject of fake memorabilia should be kept to one area of the Forum (i.e. General & Collecting News) only. If posted in the other two sections they will be delete.

If users have any other suggestions for posting rules I'm open to suggestions.

Re: NMMA Facebook Pages & Rules of Posting

I agree with the points you make.

Postings that are provocative and unfounded personal innuendoes should be deleted.
Accusations of untoward activity that are outside known proof amongst our members should be deleted.

Posts, for doubtful items, should be, as you say in one section only, warning of dubious items, and should be along the lines I mentioned - Item No ----- should be inspected carefully. You are advised to ask a long term collector and member of the NMMA about its probable authenticity. Proceed with care.

No post should be left on the forum without a proper e-mail address attached. E-mail addresses posted should be inspected by members for connectivity and of the correct person - we have seen cloning of genuine e-mail addresses - so all members inspect all they can and advise Mark of suspect ones.

It would be nice if people could post under their real names, however if people are too reticent to post under real names, at least use ones that are not provocative. We all know that the majority of Lancashire place names and Alderley Edge Mine related ones are the current Faker himself.

Any more suggestions from genuine collectors and members of NMMA?
