I can't spell for toffee so it don't really offend me when I read a post with spelling mistakes and poor grammar. I think if the mods started banning those who don't tow the line where basic English comes in to play this would be a lonely forum.
As for "it's gone down hill lately" You haven't been a member that long your self.
From my memory CIU has always had issues with bullying, bitching etc. As a mod on another non cleaning related forum and a member of others I agree this is the worst for the bullying, bitching trolls.
Why? I think is a few reasons, first being WC's are very competitive and territorial. Another is the mod's just dont act on bad behavior. I know its not my place to comment but on other forums it's just not tolerated. members are not banned their ip# is.
