I'd have a pint with you anytime marra, as long as you're buying! No, just cacking ya, would buy yer a pint anytime kidda!!!!
I'll be snapping your hand off for that soon. Just about to start me 5 week dry period. Had my last pint a few hour ago. Nightmare. Can't do the insides any harm I suppose though haha.
Well thats me kissed & made up with a few mags in the last few days Theo lad. You coming down for the Arsenal game?
POsting this will probably get neg rep too, but its not the neg rep that annoys me, like you Chunky, its the messages that are left that grind a bit. I was posting on an N'Zogbia thread on the Newcastle board, posting reasoned comments about where I thought he'd end up. I think I said I reckoned he will go to Villa or Liverpool, most likely Villa. I then got a nice big of negative rep with the message "Lost? Inbred ****". When I pointed out that this was out of order considering I hadnt actually done anything wrong, I got another neg rep saying "**** you you piece of ****". Now Im usually pretty laid back and can take a bit of abuse, but theres something extremely personal and venomous about this. First of all its basically an easy way to anonymously send abuse to people, second of all, if theres one thing thats is going to put me off posting and getting involved, its knowing that I am probably going to get a torrent of abuse just for putting a fairly unbiased, reasonable comment up. The sooner the rep system gets binned, in its entirety, the better.
It doesn't mean owt... As for your REP page, wouldn't worry to much about about it. Mine goes up and down more times Ashley Cole at a George Micheal pool party. Not all the mags leave daft comments, some are canny lads. Just hope that Shameless doesn't leave you any, then you need to worry after you've read them..
I think that they should scrap the whole rep idea. The fact that people will leave ****ty messages and not even have the balls to let you know who they are from is pathetic and childish. At least if someone starts to hurl abuse at you on a thread, everyone else on the forum can read the comment, which usually makes the author look far worse than the person for whom it is aimed. For what it is worth MackemMatty, I remember that thread and I thought that your comments were perfectly reasonable. Unfortunately there are members on both sides who want to drag every Newcastle/Sunderland discussion into a slanging match. Unfortunately on many threads the keyboard warriors, and it always seems to be the same people, get their way and promising debates get reduced to petty name calling, but I suppose that is how they wish their forum to be. This is a shame as I feel that many fans from both sides read threads that they could contribute to, but don't bother because they know that they will just get drawn into a row with a moron.
All the negative stuff I get is never signed. Always anonymous. Bloody cowards. Think I'll change my name to Mackem C**t. They seem to think I'll be offended! I'd take Mackem C**t over being called a Geordie any day.
I must admit, when I read that line I thought it was going to be about Tash or I sit Next to a Badger. On a serious note though, I find this 'rep' mullarky the biggest downside of this site. The fact that people can leave derogatory messages without leaving their username is something that needs to be stopped.
You lot aren't any better, just looked at it for the first time - - HAHAH THIS FOR YOU NEG REP YOU COMPLETE AND UTTER ******ED **** - **** off racist suck my cock ****ing white guy Unsurprisingly didn't leave a name. Oh well, cannot expect much else from a forum. I'm not bothered about using the rep system either but it is pathetic the way people give you abuse without letting you know who it is.
I could imagine that the massages you leave will be so way out that they will be well aware who it is regardless of a signature..
For some reason I think the "- HAHAH THIS FOR YOU NEG REP YOU COMPLETE AND UTTER ******ED ****" Is from Shameless or Bart actually.
it could be amsterdam roger as well (not saying it is but sounds like something he would use) It could also be from anyone though, not a mag or sunderland supporter, thats the problem, others peruse the boards, and those in Genral Chat do, so it very well may have been one of those I do think it shouldnt be anonymous though, if you have something crap to say about someone, have your name on it. PS referrlals are like invites btw, you tell someone about the site, they put your username into the site when they sign up, you get a referal, problem is with it being open, members could just sign up multiple accounts and get referrals that way, but thts basically what it is.
Fancy doing me a signature banner Steve my good man? Just summat like my avatar, as i'm gonna shamelessly change my avatar to an advert for my nights, or vice versa
