St.Ricky Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 I have followed the forums on Black and White Army over the years. It has been clear that a number of internal feuds and pseudo feuds have arisen and taken root. It seems too almost now standard to ridicule the views of others, tournaments, the club, the board, the manager, team, players, fans and the opposition. Now, banter is good. We all enjoy that. Argument is both good and healthy. But ridicule and the use of bad language merely for effect are not. Is respect for each other now dead? Is that what we want in the forum/ Only asking?

chalky1 Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 Forums etc have created the keyboard warrior, the person who wouldn't dare say or do any of the things that they write on the forums. I'm all for a bit of banter in posts etc, I give it and I take it back but some people thrive on personal insults. As for respect, it's hard to earn it unless you actually know the person who is writing it. Let the insults and abuse commence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickMcD Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 In one of my earliest posts years ago, I posted something similar and got pretty much the same response. If some of our fellow Black and White soldiers had their way, they would make posting on the wrong thread a crime punishable with the death sentence. I have at times gone over the top with angry responses but hope I now don't. Some of the clowns on here should have been banned years ago and some should simply grow up.

Non existent presently Put yourself forward Not quite sure what the moderators are meant to do. By that I mean, what do they do? Do they get complaints from individuals then have a word in someone's ear if they think the complaint is valid? Do they simply tell some guys enough is enough, so eff off? Or are you saying nothing ever happens? I only recall a couple of guys getting the boot. I wouldn't do it for a pension but I agree that some guys go way over the top with personal insults and I think some yellow cards could have been waved.

shull Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 Not all about punishing baddies Rick. It's keeping the Forum run smoothly and in order. Deleting inappropriate material. Merging duplicate Threads. Placing Topics in their proper Section, like this appalling one. Giving us the ability to red dot the spangles.

shull Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 And Mods shouldn't delete perfectly well thought out Topics, just because it makes them weep. Pathetic that was Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whydowebother Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 Indeed, not asking much to keep the forum tidy. Indeed.
