I never thought I'd see something like this...

I have just logged into RailPage and there is a PM waiting which is 
telling me I now have a 'warning level' of 5 percent for starting another 
thread on an already-locked topic (the screw-coupler thread). Come on guys 
- that's so lame!

Stop locking topics on sensitive issues and let free and open discussion 
take place for a change... Warning people off talking about particular 
topics when they're safety-related and in the public interest is a very 
BAD way to try and gain credibility in the eyes of rail enthusiasts and 
the rail industry in general.

Regards,

Craig.
