It seems to be ITI behind it all, to me. You can see a 'sly' alterior motive in most of his posts, which are all designed to provoke some sort of response from us and then the mods ( or mod). John Hughs always says what it does on his tin and you can rise to his obvious bait if you want...he loves it (and fair play, it works for some). As long as he doesnt get personal, he is 'harmless' enough. To give taff some credit, I'm sure he can see through it...it's just he has to keep his dwindling numbers happy. Perhaps some of them should stop being so paranoid and leave us out of their posts/threads? Even their so-called posts designed for this, then reference us someway or other, and then they complain all over again Haven't they seen Field Of Dreams? "If they build it, we will come!"
Maybe I gave taff too much credit? Mab's innocuous post was deleted and Dragon banned! They may not see it from within, but they are creating a censorship ridden apartheid filled forum. They are commiting forum seppuku. Each to their own but they are part way down a very, very slippery slope! Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely. Their board can only truly heal from within but it is strangely amusing watching them implode, yet I do get frustrated for the decent posters over there. PS Aheads up, the day we ban any group of people from posting on here is the day I leave
What they've done proves the op correct. Things will just escalate from here that's for sure. A football forum and they censor fans of one team and one team only. PATHETIC
My last post over there was supporting Sparkey in his rant against John Hughs, whilst telling them I thought Caulker would prove to be a great signing for them. Guess what? I'm banned. And I thought our board was mad.
Last night I posted on their thread... "1 word Apartheid" and today it has been deleted. Oh the irony!
It's perfectly clear that they are out to ban Swans posters from their board, the situation is summed up perfectly by Swimaway. I have no intention whatsoever to interact with them anyway so it's no loss from me but I can see problems ahead if any of them decide to post over here. Banning two of our posters for no good reason is going down a path of self destruction.
Taff likes sharing those funky lil cards. Talk about it going to his head already Although I would say that haha I mean just reading the thread you have to laugh, phil's posts were 1 after the other, as was taff's, he gives a warning for the first post, and instantly bans for the second. I don't know if he knows what a warning is. How can he possibly give a warning, followed by a red card, when Phil is banned for something that happened before the warning was given. If that's not someone on a power trip I dunno what is lol. Now if Phil's post was after the yellow card, then by all means, give a red, but cannot give a yellow and red with nothing in-between from Phil that's just amusing. I mean it is so bad, that the posts from phil were 12:38am 12:39am The warning from Taffy given @ 12:41am referencing the post from 12:38. <------------------------------ nothing at all from Phil Then a red card @ 12:44 referencing the post of 12:39am, a post from before the warning hahahaha
What the he'll is going on over there. I'm lost now who's banned, am I right that Phil and Norway have made the list?
Is this REALLY happening? They must be pooping themselves that we're a far better team and they're likely to go straight down. Norway is right, it's still killing them !
We don't need to post anything. We have a club and team that will do our talking for us. A wry smile is appropriate with guffaws of laughter at the scores as they come rolling along, followed by jigs of joy when we take the derby matches, and finally a chorus of "we told you so" when they descend back into the abyss at the end of the season. Derby fans can hold out hope that their abject record of failure may yet be matched.
"talking footy" - So was I, swanselona. I think commenting on Caulker qualifies, but there you go. And I didn't get a warning or any card other than straight red.
lol i best stay away for good then, if your getting banned for talking footy, then what hope have i got
