I see that Lilyhawk has joined the ranks of deleted members, what happened?

Crikey.
No idea I’m afraid. Not sure if any of the other mods can answer?

Excuse my ignorance, what is a deleted member?
Can you withdraw your membership or is it removed in all cases?

I believe deleted member is when you delete your account yourself, rather than blackballed where you are kicked off the forum for being a wrong’un
A member can delete their own account at any time.
I'm not aware of any issue, he has not been banned.

I’ll ask in the WhatsApp group

Though there are plenty of turnips (sorry) on here he’d be missed.

Let's hope he had his Xmas Party, had too much of a good time, and drunkenly hit the wrong button!

Shame, seemed like a good guy but hardly surprising given how toxic this place has become recently thanks to a small handful of people.

Do you think its become more toxic? I felt that the whole place was a bit more chill recently if I'm honest.

Yes I do unfortunately, particularly around the LIV thread. Without naming names I think this forum would be a lot better without 4 or 5 members.

Do you find it toxic? I don't see any toxicity; I see robust debate and respectful arguments; and I see the Mods jumping on anything that crosses the line. Mind you, I don't go in the non-golf page, so maybe you're referring to toxicity in there.
EDIT - I now see that you're referring to the LIV thread. I wouldn't call that toxic. We must have different thresholds!

Yeah I guess we all have different thresholds but unfortunately I see people on here being deliberately provocative.
LIV is toxic worldwide at the moment in all discussions, whether fans, professions, tours, etc. That in itelf suggests LIV is the problem, not those discussing it. A non toxic LIV thread wouldnt be a genuine open discussion. (this is not a swipe at LIV !)

I think there are some posters who genuinely don’t like each other, and that comes out in certain threads. I’m not sure I’d call it toxic, but it certainly brings the forum down and makes people leave as is the case here.
The constant bickering and snidely comments have brought the place down from where it was a few years ago

It a reflection of the rest of social media and wider society.
People don’t seem to be able to cope when their opinions are challenged and think people are attacking them or being argumentative.
It’s what used to be called a discussion or debate.
It’s a bit like a golf club where long standing older members feel like their opinions carry more weight, simply because they are older and have been members longer.

If it's reached that point for someone then that's an ideal time to use the ignore feature.
I know not everyone likes it but it removes the taint from the forum and allows you to continue enjoying the worthwhile elements.
And some threads are best just avoided full stop!
Those will vary for each of us.
