Threads

I think a sort of collective hysteria has gripped this thread. A lot of big mountains are being made out of little mole-hills.
(I'm not singling you out, Gelli, it was just convenient to quote the last post on the subject)

The suggestion of an LFC only thread is not unreasonable. I'm not particularly bothered myself, but it's hardly going to bring the principles of free-speech crashing down around our ears.
As for modding, I'm not having a go, but isn't that what mods are for? We all want an easy ride, but if anyone takes on the job then they have to be prepared to do their best.
Again, I'm not suggesting anyone is not pulling their weight, just discussing it in principle.
I think Jenners was a bit hard done by getting clubbed because he suggested it.

It's a pity we all don't have some control (and therefore responsibility) over our own threads like on the Beeb, and that would take some of the weight off the mods.

Anyway, I thought the Pub thread was mostly louse-free?

 

He's power mad mate, steady or he'll wield the ban hammer, the bad batard.

 

I'm happy to trial any reasonable suggestion. I don't agree about having a LFC Only zone but can't see a reason to just cast it aside either. My concerns are more around how it would be monitored and how can we be sure a poster is a LFC fan? Maybe they need to have made twenty comments before being allowed to participate? This gives us a platform to change a newbie put that also isolates them too.

I'm pulling my weight, I'm just not very heavy

 

His user name is a conflation of Liverpool-Toronto I believe.
Toronto is in Ontario, but I don't think it has much of a F-C contingent.
I could be wrong.

 

Lol I'm assuming that's a stir T, but actually, like the others I think Mito has done a good job as mod. Doesn't mean he can't make a mistake and it doesn't mean I'm not going to call him on it.

As I said, not disagreeing with his motive, just his uneven application.

 

Fair enough but in light of the abuse us mods are getting here anyway, maybe a little bit of slack would be nice

Personally, I'd have deleted your complaint too

 

What newbies? Are they female?

 

You're working on it, though. back.

Like I say I'm not bothered, but the suggestion was only for a single thread.

 

I always thought that there was plenty of them in that area tbh, probably a bit of an assumption though, based largely on meeting some on holiday a couple of years ago, who were from there, lol.

 

Lol, G, that's my whinge over, more like a sleepover pillow strike than tavern brawlesque, fairly sure the post was read enough anyway whooohahahahaha!

 

Just a joke mate and I wasn't having a pop at you either, if you want to call him on it fine, but I think they've collectively taken a few low blows in the last 48 hrs tbf, so if the trigger finger is a bit twitchy I can't say I blame them

On the subject of modding in general, I post on GOT - the biggest Everton forum and it's very, very strict in terms of the rules and enforcing them. Most of the posters in this thread would have had a site ban (anywhere between a week and permanent) for their part in this thread.

 

JB - start a thread with a poll and see what peopl want. I don't think we need a thread just for LFC fans but if 90% o the board think it's a good idea hen go ahead. How you manage that is up to you because we can't physically stop people posting and only way to do it would be for a mod to go through and delete every post by a non LFC fan - something I don't think would be possible given we can't mod the board the whole day every day

 

Can call it the Carragher Legs!

 

FFS this is getting silly, I quit as mod! I'm going to live on the PL board and talk to Sisu about Gazza.

 

Sorry mate, that's what I meant by "stir" =joke...etc and I agree. I've not and am unlikely to ever be a mod so I don't have the right to criticise unless I think it's power used for personal preference which I most certainly didnt in this case.

Just a little whinge that's all.

Anyway, when you say the BIGGEST Everton forum does that mean 5 posters......including you and you were mod......?

 

haha, no mate there's about 23K of us in there, all contained in one place

 

So is Maritnez little finger or Tywin Lannister? Who at Everton is Sansa?

 

Holy Crap! That should be our punishment, dont ban an out of line red on here, register them on there!

How many times you been kicked off then?

 

Hell to the no !!!!!

 

There's loads of reds on there already, many incognito - they always out themselves in the end though, but a few who are openly reds (as well as plenty of fans from other clubs). All are welcome, it's a brilliant site tbf.

Oh and only the 1 week ban so far
