Grand Central 2,654 Posted February 25, 2015 There are also the regular trolls though who seem to revel in inciting negative responses. At some point in the past someone had the 'bright' idea of introducing the 'Like' button on forums such as this. Allowing people to express their agreement and acknowledge their 'likingness' of a post. Thereby not cluttering the whole board up with post after post just saying 'Spot-on', 'Yes' or 'LOL'. I think this forum could be helped by having two alternate buttons replacing the 'Like' button. Simply 'AGREE' or 'DISAGREE'. This may help maintain the level of discourse and temper on the board if all one did to register dissent was click DISAGREE. Instead of having to make that point time and again with the same posters who repeat 'disagreeable' points. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grachan 7,365 Posted February 25, 2015 I think this forum could be helped by having two alternate buttons replacing the 'Like' button. Simply 'AGREE' or 'DISAGREE'. Some forums do have that. You can have "like", "dislike", "agree", "disagree", "funny", "informative" and so on. Quite a nice thing to have. I remember the old forums. Ah, them were the days! None of this muslim stuff then! The "happy birthday" threads were always a bit of a waste of time though. Just pages and pages of people posting "happy birthday". Not so interesting really.

Gavan 5,067 Posted February 25, 2015 I find that there is a certain clique who delight in hounding and ridiculing certain Posters. Many of their comments are beyond what is described as 'friendly with plenty of banter." IMO they respond to any comments some BSF posters put up simply because they have some grudge or dislike against that particular member. I dont suffer fools or trolls. I dont hound certain members but if you are thick or trolling then i will comment. I should shut up sometimes i know that but when dealing with idiots its hard not to respond. The people who do the trolling are the people just as responsible Funny how it seems to be the same people are ridiculed time and again though by lots of different members , yet they cant see why 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The White Knight 9,039 Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) So are some of you saying that the new people who have come on the Forum have ruined it? Have we invaded your nice little clique? If so I apologise for my presence here. I thought this Forum was for all views to be aired - not just the 'comfortable' ones. There!!! That's thrown another log on the fire. :nono: I will stick around though. Edited February 25, 2015 by The White Knight 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coming in, spoiling our fun Another thing, I wonder how many BSF marriages and babies there have been? I knew of a few (or both). I'm off to start a thread on General Discussions to find out!

uk_martin 1,607 Posted February 25, 2015 Sadly it's disappeared into the ether........ I think it was on one of the previous versions of the forum. OK, from the beginning then, what did it say? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Again, check your supposed clubs thread you supposedily support. nuff said well my dads bigger than your dad. jeez the way you debate is quite unreal, then again i guess you lack the intellect. Please go back over any posts ive made and then see afterwards how many people post about what i write. Please go back over my posts and see how many are ridiculed Please go back over my posts and see the number of likes i get. Now do the same for yourself: After you post you get 4 or 5 posts from other members destroying what you wrote. Most of your posts are ridiculed by most people The only people who now and again like your posts are skidder and pugwash, 2 Poole fans. If you have gone right through the Ipswich thread and the Edinburgh , Kings Lynn, Somerset, threads you will see ive posted on all of them recently which is something you choose to ignore. If you are going through diferent threads to find my posts thats a bit sad. As i explained to you the biggest topic in our sport is Darcy Ward so i will choose to post on here when and as i want to. Attack the post contents - NOT the poster. Forum etiquette... On other forums attacking posters and not post contents would result in lengthy bans...

BWitcher 12,453 Posted February 25, 2015 It's all quite obvious really. The decline/change of the forum runs in parallel with the continued growth/influence/success of Matt Ford and Poole. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
