There's a gray area between expressing dissatisfaction and derailing any productive discussion on any forum and I have to think the mods are genuinely trying to maintain that. However, I think they're missing the mark by banning long-time members which are not by definition trolls.
I've been here for years across 3 different platforms and have learned and hopefully contributed my fair share while also participating in local clubs and meets which ultimately promote the brand. If someone tells me that I only dislike the new design because I'm scared of becoming irrelevant then I should at least be able to clap back with honest reasons why without having my posts deleted.
It has been a bit shocking to watch them try to artificially shape the apparent level of enthusiasm for the new car. That cannot be the ethos of any brand that wants to cultivate a genuine enthusiast community. Someday there may be some hand-wringing over how this was mishandled but for now it's just humans making bad decisions together.
