Many of these reviews read to me like a load of old... sour grapes. You cannot have a decent discussion forum without people of different views, and it has always seemed to me that on SZ there are a wide-ish selection of views from left to right, libertarian to authoritarian. The bullying is in my view largely imagined. And frankly on an adult discussion forum if you cant take the heat... If anything Saga is a tad over moderated and in some ways a bit prim. They do however get rid of annoyances like trolls etc quite quickly, which is something to be thankful for. Of all the forums of its type I think saga is one of the nicest. There are plenty of sections like technology, books, TV, films, how to do stuff, computer help, Chat and so on. It is only the two 'serious' areas debate and soap box where a certain amount of body armour and light weaponry might come in handy.;-) What the place does need though is some new blood. Frankly some of us have been there too long and we could really do with some fresh topics and subjects for discussion. New faces and people willing to join in will be most welcome. Do not let all these negative reviews put you off.
No use anyone joining now - members are being banned one by one for no proper reasons. It could be that some new upstart has been put in charge who is looking to close it down. I think there will be a lot of Saga holidays and Insurance etc being cancelled, because the members and ex members will not put up with being treated so badly - a very bad advert for Saga as a whole. Shame - it used to be a great social site for everyone aged 50 and over.
I have been contributing to Sagazone intermittently ever since it started. While it is not perfect it is one of the better forum sites catering for people over 50. Moderation is kept deliberately low key because the members prefer it that way; posts appear on the site as soon as they are posted with no moderator input. Sometimes people do go too far but that is comparatively rare and yes there has been some bullying. However when this is pointed out the moderators do act.
It all depends on what you want for a forum site. Sagazone is a good to say what you think knowing that people may disagree with you; better that than no response at all. There are occasional trolls as in most sites but relatively few.
If you have a problem with anything at all there is normally helpful advice not far away.
As with all forum type sites people tend to join full of enthusiasm possibly posting more than they should and equally the novelty can wear off with posters leaving for many reasons or suddenly deciding that it is simply not for them.
Though UK orientated it does have members from around the globe. I post as Merseymog on Sagazone have in my time ruffled some feathers then some have also ruffled mine.
