It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Time to introduce a nordic style "everymans right" system. Its ridiculous how little of the UK is (legally) accessible.

Where I'm from you are allowed to make camp anywhere, as long as you cant see anyones house.

Honestly, that's such a good system. I always loved that. How ridiculous and depressing to take nature away from people.

Indeed.

I love the fact that I can just go into the woods and pick up a camping site without thinking about it too much.

Of course it helps that most of my country is forest and the rest are lakes but still

Yeah. As a Swede i take my freedom to roam for granted. I camp, pick berries, forage for mushrooms and hike wherever I want whenever I want.
