I find this level of vitriol quite unusual, and rather than be obsessed by anything at all that is going on at Sunderland, it does intrigue me as to why some of you are so ****ing hostile, in what can be only described as a bit of a childish manner.

I don't live in the North East any more, but the majority of the lads I still have regular contact with are actually Mackems (one goes to every game, home and way) and while he's all for the FTM, it's mostly tongue in cheek and we have a great bit of craic about our club's mis/fortunes. As grown ups.

I visit your board from time to time, but rarely engage - mainly just to see if there's anything major going on I can discuss with the lads I'm still in touch with. Not been banned, yet. It's a shame there's so much of the childish stuff, and not enough good banter between rivals - from both sides.
Unlike some from your side! Get themselves banned by being idiots. As Gordon says, civil conversation, even decent banter, is welcomed, but coming on to disrupt and cause argument is not.

if we don’t have reason to ban you, we won’t ban you. End of story
 
if my memory serves me right weren't you banned for a while on here mate
I don’t think so, on the SAFC board anyway.

Think I got banned from the SCUM one, tho not sure and haven’t visited there for years.

Pretty sure GA wanted to get me banned before he was a mod, but was unsuccessful in getting support. Think he’ll ban me as soon as he gets a chance, as I know I got under his skin many moons ago.

Either way, I couldn’t care less. But I do think this forum is largely exceptional. You just have to take some posters with a pinch of salt.

No need to be coming on and purposely stirring the **** - I totally agree , but a bit of needle should be tolerated surely - from both sides. After all, we're all bloody grown men.

(And/or women) Agreed and it is. It’s when people come on to simply derail. Much like Welshie did yesterday. He won’t be posting on our board again!!!

So you voted on saffs poll against GA?
 
Evening all.

I keep hearing that posts by fans of other clubs (especially Toon fans like myself) simply get deleted and the poster gets a ban from your Mods. Regardless of the actual content.

I don't post on your forum, so I'm just putting it to the test to see for myself. Let's see how long it lasts. Cheers all <cheers>
So when does the banter start Obi Wan? I presume you're not banned yet?

This bits 100% incorrect.
Come on purely to wum, (usually badly) or with a preset agenda to pick a fight with someone, and yes, you'll be removed. Pleasingly so imo.

Hell I'm the proof, most of my posts are bollocks but I've never been banned.
 
Ha’way then, how did it come to be ...

.... surely its not some big cliquey secret.
People blaming Saff for it. Yes he had a hand but only in that the people posting it like him. He was not directly or indirectly involved. They think Gordon has an agenda with him and think it’s unfair.

They only think that I've got an agenda with him 'cos that's what he's told them, whereas you know that I haven't, don't you :emoticon-0112-wonde
 
I've been banned for 3 years now on the Newcastle board for having friendly banter, it works both ways.

Feck off back to your own board you obsessed Mag tw@t

Are you the one that sent Chaos a PM out of the blue asking to meet up for a fight?

If so your definition of "friendly banter" appears quite loose.

Well he obviously was indirectly involved, it was clearly discussed and Tel wouldn't have posted the thread without Saff agreeing to it. Nor would Saff be unaware that brb had agreed to remove GA if the vote asked for it. The Mods have to moderate and posters have to be moderated especially when, as with Saff, he posts that he's going to destroy this board, etc, etc.

As a result of this post we've lost at least one good poster, probably others, spoiled a good thread and quetened the whole place down ...

.... not to mention inviting people who don't usually post, on here, who are intent on causing trouble.

People have delighted in using words like div, on this board, and attacked Chunks for being weak for taking offence on behalf of his disabled child. You're obviously a friend of Saff and ignore everything he says when it suits you.

This place has been busy, good natured and mainly concerned with SAFC for months. If you think the Tel thread was acceptable, in any way, I'd have to say it's you that should be removed as a Mod. There's been very little moderation needed recently tbh. It doesn't matter whether it's a job or not, you've accepted the responsibility ...

... if you don't have the time, or inclination to do it, you should say so, post a thread and see who volunteers.

None of this is true.

You've done a grand job on me, though. I'll give you that.
