Best Way To Include All Forum Members In BMW Model Sub-Forums

Given "repeated negative opinions" are banned in the G8x model sub-forum, was wondering what Bimmerpost members think of the banned-negative-opinion policy

I think this is great form of censorship. Really adds value to the BMW brand and this forum. 🥴

Stop banning people for not having a +ve kiss-ass opinion! Un-ban the ones who didn't make personal attacks.

If I wanted be a part of an Internet cult-like forum where no non-positive things can be mentioned, I'd go join the Tesla forums. Or move to a country with no free speech and uncensored Internet.

And did you know there's also a dating app for Tesla owners only (possibly just a joke but not really)? https://tesladating.co

I've got an idea...

Private site with their own rules. The 1A doesn't apply in a private forum.

I voted for option 4 (because someone had to) even though I believe that all opinions are valid but only to a point. Really some people just kept repeating the same viotrol over and over to the point of trolling. Some of the bans were justified.

The mods have been moving those posts into their own thread for over a decade - this forum has a proud history of repetitive vitriol, and it's always been welcome and politely managed into its own thread.

For the G8x, there was a policy change that eliminated well-rounded discussions on the G8x such as happen here.

Of course it's up to the mods how they want to mod their forum - it's theirs, not ours - but a limited one-sided discussion is the result.

I guess it depends on whether BMW Marketing is funding and owns this site or not. If not, owners and enthusiasts should be allowed to tell the emperor he has no clothes.
