      @BrunoH In a democracy you tend to get opposing views expressed in different ways, look at current American or any other democratic politics for that matter, views are often expressed in forceful ways and one side or other will be offended and or shocked with statements dished out.

      Forum users have a choice to read what posts they like and simply skip over or ignore statements form any individual(s).
      To be clear, my position is: Bullying and personal attacks should be discouraged in all it forms (in my opinion).
      To supress any one individual voice or opinion moves the forum into an area of governance that sounds un-democratic, and that’s fine also, so long as its made clear by moderators that any dissenting or opposing opinion or negative comments against the brand will be met with a banning from the forum.

        @BrunoH unless he’s personally attacking people or doing similar stuff I think he should stay. It’s annoying I know, but I got used to his comments 🙂 it’s up to mods anyway.

            I am fine with @zhang965 being here. He has helped in the past.

            I understand that he is a revolutionary mind / act and I dont mind as long as there is no offense to other members

              @babychai I for one, do not get this. Time is the one resource I can never get more of so it seems silly to squander it.

              If I’m upset with a product or service, I cut my losses and do not buy it again. Really that simple. Coming at a company or community over and over again makes you petty.

              The forums have been useful for me to navigate issues, sanity check things I’ve seen during software/hardware changes and (being honest) drool over the places and adventures our members do. It’s been courteous in debates and hardly toxic like 4Chan. Let’s keep it that way!

                  I’d say the trolling is still systematic, though less personal.

                          Aside from blocking individual accounts, I do get the feeling that more and more posts on this forum are shifting from asking and helping to blaming and demanding.

                          Hopefully there will be more positivity this year…

                              same as well, and I am personnaly using the user blocking feature of the forum to hide some of my own “trolls” : I don’t want to read them anymore (for my personal soul peace 🙂 ) No one knows, no one banned, i just don’t see 😉

                                @Mff73 I did the same - blocked certain ‘contributors’ who seem to thrive on negativity, or doing multiple posts just to be argumentative, and it’s made reading posts and advice here much more enjoyable.

                                I would really appreciate though if some of the more childish egos who seem required to have temper tantums about their Suunto experience or forum members responses just moved on (once and done is fine but jeez). I honestly don’t get it.

                                My number one go to thread now is photos of the day - to see photos of Suunto users from around the world is very inspiring. Never a negative post there.🙂

                                      That’s a good idea about blocking people, I might do the same. Lately I’ve been feeling less like logging in daily due to the same people continually posting their demands or negativity - exactly the opposite of what this forum has always been

                                      As for Zhang, I personally don’t mind him/her/they. Their comments are as predictable as a fart after dinner but it never seems to be anything overly personal (apart from poor @Brad_Olwin) 🤣

                                        The block feature is a really nice way to simply not see a lot of negative posts that seem to be quite prevalent at the moment. I have only used it once so far, but am considering a second implementation. 🙂

                                        It gets very tiring to read posts from users that seem to simply want to bang-on about why they dislike a product that (it seems) they should simply walk away from.
