    What didn't help the whole situation was I had just moved home from Guernsey to the Isle of Man and didn't have any internet at home and Not606 was blocked from my work place. When I finally got connected I told Syd to ban anyone who created cross board threads, which to be fair to him he was already doing.

    I am getting the cross board functionality modified now so that Newcastle moderators will have the ability to delete any cross board threads they don't want - and we are looking into nominating more moderators to be able to ban people from their respective boards altogether.

    A lot of the boys on General Chat have a chip on their shoulder as they think I took your side over theirs with the whole Speed thing, and to be truthful there was double standards from myself as I let other jokes about the likes of Winehouse go unchecked but banned people because of Speed - this is why I didn't ban them permanently because in that situation at least they were being pretty consistent with what had come before (but they did ignore my calls for them to stop). Deliberately being the aggressor and invading someone elses board while abusing website functionality is another thing though which I'm taking zero tolerance on now.

    Anyway I can't make anyone stay and there is no point deleting links as you will all no doubt know of them anyway (I haven't deleted a single link yet), but I am trying to improve things and keep the entire board together - dealing with a lot of different teams and people it's not always so easy to do.

    Just wanted to say, Mick, I loved the idea of the forum when I first joined, but it's you're own fault so many people are leaving and that this forum is on the decline.

    You're not a bad guy, you're a good bloke and you had a vision of a forum that was the opposite to 606, in the sense that we didn't have to be afraid to speak our minds and say things, in fear of being banned.

    Unfortunately too many people have abused the privilage and this fantastic opportunity, and ****ed it up for everyone else so they could have their "lulz".

    You should have done something about the **** sooner.

    I'm sorry but making an uncut section for the arseholes to post their sick jokes and goat porn wasn't going to solve anything.

    They still posted cross board threads with gay porn on them, and you know fine well that people could have lost their jobs because of it, but you did nothing and expected Syd to clear all the **** up for you.

    As far as I'm concerened, most of the people on General Chat should have just joined 4chan because that's where they belong.

    I don't mind a sick joke from time to time, and a bit of **** banter, but they showed on many occasions that they just wanted to troll the **** out of everyone else and didn't give a **** about anyone elses feelings.

    Blatant racism and sick jokes about Gary Speed and Bobby Robsons death - These are the sort of things that you should have banned people for.

    What would a new member think if the first thing they saw was some of the sick **** that the gen chat lot posted?

    Would it make them want to stay on this forum? Highly unlikely unless they're just another imbecile looking to be the newest member of the gen chat mob.

    I'm sorry mate but you got it wrong. You shouldn't have protected them. You may have this idea in your head that if you banned them, you'd be killing the basic principles upon this site was built, but I think you would have had the backing of everyone if you just used the ban hammer on the arseholes.

    All you've done is let them piss everyone off.

    For every one idiot from the gen chat you turned a blind to, several people have been offended to the point of leaving.

    Sorry Mick.

    It's not you're fault Mick, don't listen to him. Keep improving the site and new members will come, as for me I'll come on here every now and then, love the place.

    Sky Sports is banned from my workplace so not sure what point you are trying to make with that comment? I very much doubt Mick's workplace have specifically blocked Not606, they have probably filtered a wide range of sites.

    Well said.

    I'm not leaving though - which must be quite bad news to some.

    Slightly amused that Tash is dishing out the "imagine if someone new came on here" line. The fat ****.

    I'm sorry Tash I think you'll be back. This is another example of you writing with emotion. Good luck though.
