Hello everyone,
Unfortunately we’ve been through a spout of ill will, negative comments and unnecessary attacks I think you’ll agree. This does not reflect the Grapevine or the years of hard work put in by thousands of members past and present.
The Grapevine has a reputation of being an energetic, engaging community with unrivaled gardening and growing advice. This is the reputation we will strive to keep under any circumstance. As a result we will be taking more serious action against users that break our rules, especially around bullying which everyone will agree adds no value to anyone and just stirs up anger and frustration against those very users that do contribute, do help users and are the part of the community.
In the interests of sorting the issue quickly, we will see permanent and temporary banning coming in to place against users who break the rules regardless of post count and history on the Grapevine.
I hope you will support us (the admin team) and the amazing Moderators as you always have done so. Everything we are doing is in the best interest of the community because without it we have nothing.
Lastly I wanted to take the opportunity to say thank you. Thank you for the effort you put in. Thank you for the high quality posts you make day in and day out. Thank you for being so tolerant over this period. Thank you
.
Dave

but it's very encouraging that changes will be brought in towards dealing with intentionally aggressive postings, and persistant ill will. I have every confidence the moderators here will apply their powers judiciously and fairly in accordance with the circumstances at the time, and would like to say thank you to all the mods and admin for their efforts during a difficult phase. Looking forward to it all getting happy and smiley again
