    Because sadly, some people just can't help themselves if they see half a chance for a soapbox.

    Once a certain poster pops in, their first post will contain some flippant political comment

    I don’t look on other teams boards much but had a skeg on sunderlands and they’ve got a thread on the stuff in the US no problem
    It’s sad we have people on here who can’t help themself. Why? Is it a hull thing?

    Because people have different views and that seems unacceptable to some so they delete them or lock the thread.

    Sunderland's a bad choice, as I reckon they hand out more bans than the rest of the forums combined.

    It's not the differing views, it's that some people feel the need to preach and/or get personal. Experience shows that they nearly always go that way, and it leaches on to other threads. Even CI ended up creating a new board just for 'non-football' which was pretty much politics.

    About 90% of all the reported posts on this entire site are on the Sunderland board, and pretty much all of them are on the political threads.

    Some boards on here have the same rules as us, some have a single thread for politics and others are a free for all, almost 100% of the reported posts on the site are on political threads.

    Sunderland had twelve posts reported last night alone.

    Question and sorry if it's been answered before, but can the posters who preach/get personal just not be banned from posting on the thread ?

    Ah ok
    Didn’t know that
    I do like reading some of the conspiracy stuff
    But I think our spelling boys are the ones who like to goad and make it personal
    Shame

    Yes, it's not difficult to ban someone from the one thread, but then it just leads to people trying to push the boundaries, and it leaves the mods open to accusations of bias. It's much easier just to have the no politics rule, unless there is some major event.

    At the end of the day, it's up to the board users, not the mods, what the rules on such things are, so if someone wants to run a poll to see if peoples views have changed, and the bulk now want politics, then that's what is liable to happen, but I reckon it'd have to be with different mods, because it creates a lot of work moderating them, and dealing with the fall out, and after previous experiences, I doubt the existing mods would be that interested in carrying on.

    I reckon you could have ended that with a full stop after the sixth word.

    I don't know, I haven't spoken to her for two years since she started spouting a load of ****e about Tom Hanks draining babies through the neck for a chemical you can buy on Amazon for £30 and I told her to stop being a ****.
