Question Author
Boo this post is not aimed at anyone ,-its bringing to the attention of the Editor what sometimes goes on in Chatterbank. If I was a newbie for example and stumbled on a question posted in Chatterbank instead of Body and Soul, it may put me off asking my question , or indeed answering one, because the tone in Chatterbankn is less serious, and sometimes very clique. Moderation is very laid back as its supposed to be light-hearted banter so no rules are technically being broken when people go off topic ar start ridiculing another member. If Chatterbank can be kept just that -inane chatter -great, then those who want serious debate on News or Body and Soul, with the appropriate moderation , can stick to those subjects.
