Many people consider other members of the forum as friends, mentors, advisors sort of like an extended family and I don't talk only about one subject to my friends, if I think I have something of interest, or possibly amusing to say, I'll say it. Not everyone will find it funny, or possibly even interesting but it all adds the the spice of life in my eyes. I know I don't read 'EVERY' post on the forum but I do look at most, esp if they are getting a lot of hits. If there was a particular thread or section I did not want to read, I'd ignore it. Hell you can even edit your profile to exclude sections from your own viewing portfolio if they bother you that much.

Nice concept, but would'nt work I feel. One thing the paddock enables is for people to vent and let off steam about other matters/affairs, whatever the subject (within reason) and the generally excellent signal to noise ratio is maintained on the other forum sections by the membership's own good self-discipline. We have not had many occasions where people have had to be warned or banned and of those that have, not having a paddock would have made no difference at all.
Again, anyone who does not want to either read or post items in the paddock, doesn't have to. (Including this one..
)
