    My old man bought a car to sell on and crashed it on the 'Magic roundabout,' he wasn't impressed.

    Anyways, my new season resolutions are:

    1. Not to feed the WUMS or trolls.
    2. Fully support manager and players, if they are giving it their all.
    3. Enjoy the season what ever it may bring.

    Ok - we should not argue among ourselves over an outsider but just to clarify - I think you will find that suggesting the decision was wrong in my opinion and that I felt it was incorrect is exactly that - it is questioning the ruling given - and I did not want to repeal any rule that is in the public domain but was questioning whether having someone banned because his own board are fed up with him is justification for another board to not allow another board to accept him under a new name. Anyway - as you say we have spent far too much time discussing this so should let it wither on the vine

    Yep, cleared that right up. Ye couldny have put it any clearer than the crystal clear clarity with which you clarified.

    I say, if you dont like it either make use of the ignore button or give him the old 606 treatment. H and I dont want to delete threads, but if they do get out of hand then we are available. Just message us and we will review it asap.

    I see very little demand here for thread closure or removal - quite the opposite - light handed modding is what we have had for 3 years and we expect that to continue.

    There is certain amount of irony that a thread about ignoring wums and trolls is into its 3rd page of pure pish, the only person who has made any sense is my French brother Toby.

    I never said there was a demand. I simply said we would review all posts people reported to us. If a post is racist, homophobic or is a personal attack on someone, then we may close it to prevent it escalating like the GTH thread.

    You see - we have a difference of view on this - if someone posts blatantly racist, homophobic, sexist of extreme personal abuse then that person is the one who needs to be warned / disciplined. Let us stop thinking so quickly about closing threads. Thread closure should be an extreme solution and will be very rare I hope - the Watford posters are too good a bunch to need this. If you agree with this we need say no more.

    I couldn't agree more. Both of these points should be fundamental principles for the running of this board. You can close the thread now Dan <whistle>

    You do know that Roy and Minxy volunteer to do this s**t don't you?
    Ffs grow up, or if you don't like it go start your own forum.
    Without Maltese mick and the two stooges there would be no forum. His site his rules.

    Door that way>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
