I cant agree with Dunk more for cleaning up the forum. Believe it or not the forum as epitomize the LFC facebook page, where there is a group of users come on everyday believing they are the forum's superstar and take shots at everybody and wherever topics and threads go should be influenced by them. I've seen threads open on one particular topic and user end up at something totally different if that was only the case it wouldnt be that bad but in it they are having a go at each other and whenever someone post something related to the topic its ignored and the insults starts to rain again.
just recently someone posted about their visit to anfield and the following post was "dont go again its simple" but everyone following that statement could understand what the user was saying. they are alot of good posters that as been banned, but some of these users start to take the forum for their personal fan page and believe their post and comments are more valuable than it actually is. Its simple you see a thread that doesnt interest you skip over and look to another one. Dunk shouldnt care about who is a good poster or not at the end of the day its creating a forum with an environment that allows you to relate to folks that share the same interest at heart without feeling like your bullied into how you support LFC thats what lead me away from from the FB page. Even if the good posters are gone im sure others will rise and more users will come thats just the cycle of life.
Exactly. I have held off kicking some people out of here for months because they are frequent users who have been here a long time. That is not the right way to moderate the forums but it's hard removing established characters. However, I've had enough. The number of complaints I receive every day is too much now.
I too read something the other day when someone complained about the club not having change at the stadium to which there was a reply saying " don't go again then" or similar. It was that post that made me realise something needed doing. There's just no need nor baiting, sarcasm or attacks.
If you don't agree with someone's view, either debate it sensible or leave the discussion.
As usual I'll come out looking bad but I can handle it. It is from removing cliques over the last 14 years that started all the hate against me because they leave sulking, they want revenge, so they start up their own sites yada yada. That doesn't bother me, what does bother me is that we can provide a community that is free to all who want to debate Liverpool Football Club without getting it in the neck if they have an opinion someone else doesn't share.
If I see any more examples of this kind of stuff they're out. I'm not even going to contact them or look at their post count.
Thanks for your understanding.
