I googled CAG reviews to see if anyone else has had the same experience as me... and I wasn't surprised to find I'm not alone. Whilst most posters seem to have good intentions and there is a lot of helpful insights, the entire forum is ruined by the high-handed arrogance of two "site team" - "Bankfodder" and "dx100uk", the latter being the absolute worst.

I believe Bankfodder owns the site and acts like a Pound Shop-wannabe Martin Lewis, dx100uk is his little gimp - both of them seem to spend an incredible 24/7 on the site (when do they sleep?) but not to offer advice, rather to simply berate new posters for their grammar, spacing, or not answering quickly enough and other things they deem "infringements" - if you DARE answer back or offer an opinion which exposes their lack of knowledge or mistakes you will be blocked, deleted, or worse, the thread locked on their whim.

I've taken to looking at the site purely for entertainment purposes to see how many times Bankfodder can say "I'm afraid, I..." in a paragraph, or how belittling and passive-aggressive dx100uk can be without censure as they are both site-team. It's hilarious on occasions! Of course the rules they so stringently apply to everyone else don't apply to them! From the way they talk you'd think they were on the UN Security Council rather than some obscure social media bit of fluff.

On a serious note though, it's a real shame, because without these two muppets the site could actually do a lot of good, rather than the vanity project of two damaged egos trying to feel important from behind the keyboards in their respective ratty bedsits, I'd imagine! Ha!

I'd recommend sticking to MSE. Don't give them the satisfaction of clicks.
