I love this political food fight. I know mixing o gauge trains with politics is not productive, but I do find it entertaining.
Thank you o gauge forum for allowing people to speak their minds freely and not deleting posts

Thank you o gauge forum for allowing people to speak their minds freely and not deleting posts Yes we do appreciate this freedom here....I made the mistake commenting on that other forum on a similar thread about the Biden train...something to the effect....”does the front end come with a mask?” That comment along with a few others were deleted by the moderator which is his decision to do so but his statement that he was forwarding the deleted comments to the publishers was a bit ridiculous.....A simple reminder on their part to cool it would have sufficed. WTH am I supposed to be scared of being banned now and it being a part of my permanent record! 🤪...no big loss.....guess this is the main reason I came to this forum.....thank you OGF for not being heavy handed with your moderation.....and having a sense of humor. just my two cents -Pete

I see many of these threads are referring to some other forum. Which forum is that? If you won't want to say publicly, would you please say privately?

I see many of these threads are referring to some other forum. Which forum is that? If you won't want to say publicly, would you please say privately? There are more than a few Model train forums but only 3 have regular posting. Each has its place and each is good in its own way, but all three a very different. I have at one time or another been a Member of each. I am now only a Member of this Forum. Here is my take on each: O-Gauge Forum: That’s us. Our primary focus is on the Members. Any Member can post without censorship as long as they are truthful and respectful of all other Members. Members are free to post negative reviews of products as long as their opinions are fact based. No one is permitted to post rude or insulting comments about a Member or engage in otherwise non-commercial personal attacks. Our experience is like talking in your living room with a group of friends with a football game on the tv. O-Gauge Railroad Magazine Forum: They are heavily sponsored and they moderate accordingly. Negative posts about any of their sponsors are summarily deleted. They allow a little give and take among Members but if it goes to far, they will delete offending posts as well. They have the largest number of Members. Their experience is like cheering in the crowd of a football game but if you cheer for the wrong team, they throw a beer on you. Model Train Forum: They have lots of HO Gauge activity and some O Gauge dialogue. You can post whatever you want about products or other Members. In the case of highly personal attacks, they will lock a thread from further posts but will leave it up for all to read. They have by far the least number of active O-Gauge Members. Because it’s mostly an HO Forum, their experience is like talking to your weird uncle at a Chuckie-Cheese birthday party while your Grandfather sleeps at the table.
