It's a Glasgow Airport Forum. If you want to discuss EDI then join an Edinburgh Airport forum or post on the many EDI-spam filled threads on Pprune or Airliners.net. Simple as that.
If I wanted to read the constant dribble from EDI-fanboys I'd go on Pprune but as someone who's sole interest in Scottish aviation is Glasgow Airport I'm not sure why myself and the other members who are only interested in GLA and GLA only should have to put up with the constant EDI boasting. As I said you don't see such activity on MAN, NCL, LPL or even PIK and ABZ threads. Only EDI. The famous Edinburgh obsession with Glasgow. The question is why we allow this to fester. Keep the EDI thread if people want to discuss EDI as an aside, but get rid of the EDI-fanboys.
If its so simple then answer me this Gkirk, there are members on this forum who only post about new routes on the EDI thread. You will not see them post negative news regarding EDI. You will not see them posting in any threads about GLA. They are only seen boasting about new routes from EDI or how every flight from EDI is always full. Why are these members here? Why would anyone join a Glasgow Airport Forum just to post about new routes at EDI? What was their motive for joining a Glasgow Airport Forum only to discuss EDI? It's the aviation equivalent of a Celtic fan joining a Rangers forum to boast about Celtic winning a treble. Anyone doing so would very quickly be banned and rightly so but seemingly, not here.
My issue isn't with the EDI thread as such. EDI can be a relevant discussion, as a side. My issue is it is blatantly being abused by EDI fanboys as a platform to boast and ill-wish upon GLA.
Well no forum is a democracy. If you own and run the show, it's your money and time supporting the platform. If you want the EDI thread and the EDI fanboys goneClive wrote: ↑Sat Jun 10, 2023 2:00 pm FlyGLA - as I say, I’ve been saying much of that for years. I wanted to get rid of the EDI thread because it’s nothing but hassle. When the mods act we are accused of being Nazi’s by people who then get banned for life so we moderate with a light hand. I held a poll to see what the consensus was on the EDI crap and the majority wanted to keep it. So it stayed, much to my chagrin
We’ll see what happens next.
Interesting that there was a vote, though. I guess the EDI fanboys voted in favour of keeping their willy-waving platform? I suggest you discount their votes and you might have a different picture although my stance is more keep the EDI thread if we must but, at least please get rid of the EDI fan boys who are only here to boast about new routes at EDI. They are a plague ruining what is actually a very good forum. Stevie Wonder could see their motives for joining a Glasgow Airport Forum.
Not one genuine GLA enthusiast would leave this site if you did close the EDI thread, not one. I suspect the only members who might have an issue with it are those who have an anterior motive and not so subtle agenda for being here.
