I joined another forum, Yorkshire divers, it all about scuba diving. It's as boring as ****, no personality and loads of one upmanship. Compared to here it's like going to church! I skip the wind ups on here, most of the time, but hope that humour rather than spite can come to the fore. Taking the piss is funny in moderation.
My view. At least they arnt fliers fans. Most of the time they are alright. The couple who piss me off I am trying to just ignore. A few of our fans go to their board and do the same thing. It really takes 2 to tango.
Right i know i'm not very vocal on here but I read everything on the City page and While I know AKCJ was banned for Wumming before, the last couple of weeks he hasnt been that bad, the people replying to him have been much worse. The solution is really simple, if you dont like a certain poster on here just click ignore user. If you dont and you still have issues then its your own fault.
He's only been able to come on here for 2 weeks in the last year, and you've had the hump about it since day 1, threatening war (your word not mine) if we didn't do what you wanted*. Just because you only post on other teams' forums for a week or so each side of games/transfers/what ever doesn't mean others have to do the same. There's plenty of forums where there are regular contributors from other clubs, christ there's a QPR forum where I've been a regular since we got promoted to the Championship, and I've regularly commented on things that are exclusively QPR related. How exactly do you propose we justify any ban request for Leicester fans for posting on every thread, if on almost every thread they post on there's already been a City fan slagging them off before they even post? EDIT: *Since you're criticising us for not taking action when you ask for it I think it's only fair that people know the manner in which you ask for it. He does not have immunity as a moderator. At the moment it's not difficult to make a case for saying he's having more of a positive input to this forum than you are though. You just take threads like the Guardiola one as examples. And this is the main point. As a multi-team forum we have to ignore who is posting something, and look at what they're posting. If we're going to ban somebody they have to be worse than the people we're allowing to remain on the forum. All the crap being posted by our own fans makes it impossible for us to justify a ban for anybody else. If the roles were the other way round I'd have banned a few by now, but I'm trying not to get to the point where we're banning our own fans.
This thread is embarrassing. We are making ourselves look exactly the humourless whiners who can't handle wumming that we constantly accuse Leicester fans of being on their own board. I can't be arsed with other teams' forums but I would imagine they are pissing their pants at this over on the Leicester board. This AKCJ is tiresome but responding to him the way we do just adds fuel to his/her fire.
I'm not sure this thread is a very good idea, personally, I'd have PM'd the worst offenders and just made a general note on a thread where people were overreacting. We had a couple of years now, where moderation involved little more than tidying up, I think the site works better with as few rules and instructions as possible.
What a crock of shyte this is. "War" is not my words but it's what has occurred not least through your failure to do your job right. I would suggest you stand down and let someone more capable do it instead of starting pathetic threads like this.
Like you say, it has happened on the Leicester side before, i was getting tired of all threads turning into arguments, having to wade through them to find reasonable, on topic comments, but since some PMs have been issued (i assume), it has become a much better place to discuss football, which at the end of the day, is what 99.9% of us want to use this forum to do. I do agree that fueling the flamers is a bad idea, think about the other forum users before throwing insults back at the wummers, one off-comment is easily avoided, but making 1/2 a page to a whole page of back-n-forth with a wummer is worse. There are times, especially after 5pm on a Saturday, where this can't be helped, last season i wouldn't even login until Monday to let wummers settle down after we lost. I only ever come over here to discuss topics that are not being discussed over on the Leicester side, mainly because you guys have more posters which leads to more varied threads, i will very rarely comment on a Hull specific thread (this one doesn't count ) unless i have some kind of prior knowledge on it (like when you signed Hobbs & Fryatt). Lets hope that this all turns out for the best
The thing is, I wouldn't care if the Leicester lot came on every now and then and on a certain thread it kicked off, the banter was flowing and all that I love that! As much as I hate them, when we play Leeds the days before we play them it usually kicks off on the match thread, which is a good laugh we all enjoy it! Then they **** off after we've beat them and that's that for a while, but people like AKCJ are on here every ****ing day all day! On every thread, and I'm sorry Ricardo but it's just a joke now, they come on trying to wind everyone up MOST of the time not even discussing football in general but they would rather talk about how much Proschwitz cost. It's boring, and they're in the way on every thread its getting to the point were we can't even discuss our team without them butting in. Like the other day, a thread was started about who should play up front, the guy who started the thread said he would start Proschwitz. The first comment on that thread is "Guaranteed goals then " by AKCJ. It's a joke.
There is an even bigger underlying issue that I'm ashamed to say none of our fellow comrades have picked up on, and that is that some people think fingering grannies is wrong? Ok fingering your own granny is a bit dodgy, but someone elses? That's game on chaps. Some people on here really are too picky when it comes to clunge.
Wise words bob. I mean its almost ageism really they way people are disgusted and cringing about it. FFS this Hull!! Most grannies are early 30's.......
The pissing contests that go on between both sets of fans is so juvenile at times I really do wonder if there are any grown adults involved. I stay away from those threads because they're just not worth it. Ignore it and they'll soon leave. Having said that, I really think a sense of humour is severely lacking most of the time. It's so obvious that AKCJ is only having a laugh yet there's always some humourless rise to it, which is obviously what he wants. Apart from maybe posting a bit too often, he doesn't annoy me at all and some of it I do find funny. Proud's never bothered me either and Fosse always makes a decent contribution.
