I politely decline the invite to the new site. Think alot of yous need to get over yourselves and man up
Sorry Jacky, but why should people have to sit here and develop a resilience to child porn, malware and brutal snuff videos? People signed up predominantly to discuss football and have been confronted with disgusting images and videos which their moderators have no power to remove. Not only that but the offenders are allowed to do it again and again without punishment. If that's what you lot want to do on General Chat then that's your call but most of our users are not sadists or *****philes and would rather move somewhere where they have control over what's posted.
Pictures of Syd's seven year old grandson were circulated and remorselessly abused, then rather than apologising or acknowledging they'd gone too far, they continued to abuse him. Why would anyone want to remain on a site where that kind of thing happens?
I'm fairly thick skinned, nothing I've seen on this site has offended me personally, thankfully stuff that would have I've missed. I didn't want to leave, I can ignore the abusive content and wanted to stay on a forum with more than one set of fans, but I fully understand why people wouldn't want to have to put up with this ****. This isn't a knee jerk reaction, this has been going on for months now with no action being taken and people have understandably had enough.
Also this isn't just a result of the feud with General Chat it's the way the site is managed as a whole. Mrtiote post some quite sickening videos and constantly abused other users. Our mods then had to ask for him to be banned, and then he was only given a temporary ban so he was allowed to return a week later and pick up where he left off. It just doesn't work.
Mick set this place up to give users more freedom from the over moderation of 606, and Skalpel's kindly set a place up where people can discuss football without disabled porn photoshops.
