So we having a straight pull section or not???

[breacher]

As has been stated umpteen times already if the straight pull AR discussions stay sensible and don't descend into the pure maker championing and "my marque is better than your marque" competition that has been the hallmark of these threads in the past then there will be no need for staff to intervene and take action. Straight pull AR threads have a lot of "previous history" on and off forum, which members don't see, they cause us more grief than any other topic on here so they are watched with an expectation of them becoming advertising fashion shows and maker promotions therefore a zero tolerance approach is taken to such threads, staff have a "dog" in every thread, it is our business here. Discuss informatively, accept staff decisions, whether you like them or not, without rancour and such threads will gain respect and confidence in them not going downhill and all will be well. I know some people do that but it only takes one to spoil it.

And is the use of the word "pretendy" sensible ?

Right, enough.

Locked due to all the usual reasons that I can't be bothered to list.
