DougJamie Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 (edited) Fellow Buddies Whilst we all debate the team, the manager, the tactics, the results, the BOD and the rest Maybe , the " fans " of Saints , ie the ones that actually support the team, whether its going to every match, every home game, some or not many due to distance, work and circumstances. I would like to suggest we cleanse this Forum, once and for all........................or do we just want to be like some other sites and allow Trolls Found this article - you may find it interesting http://www.blogworld.com/2012/07/18/what-is-an-internet-troll-the-answer-might-surprise-you/ I suggest that constant negative offenders get bagged off this site. The Sin Bin was originally the "Yellow" card. However those in, seem to be allowed to still ridicule , slate, hate, spit and make jokes about/ some other posters. Getting very personal. Surely thats not acceptable, grown up behaviour..... Let us supporters unite, we dont have to agree on everything, bar the team we support, good, bad or in most cases both . I say bag the obvious Trolls- for once and for all............................ are we not all a little bit fed up of constant abuse on what should be a forum based for Fans of St Mirren to comment ?

chalky1 Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 Agree, think it is time that Div assigned new Mods to the forum. I mind when I first joined the Mods normally contributed to the debates and advise some posters to watch what they were posting. I don't see that anymore. I would like to see the following: 1) If a thread is already being discussed then there is no need to start a new thread, simply add the content to the thread already running (Merge the thread); 2) People who starts threads and then post at least 3 or 4 responses before anyone contributes, these posts should be merged, this is simply post building; 3) New Mods advise of the rules that they are setting that everyone has to follow; and 4) The constant berating of fellow members simply because they don't agree with them has to stop I still like some of the banter that I see on here and some of the banter that I take part in but I'm big enough and certainly ugly enough to know that if I give it out I have to take it back.

Heartily agree; I like a debate and discussion as we are never all going to agree on certain issues, but it must make us St Mirren fans look like right idiots accepting the amount of pure nasty vitriol aimed at some posters.

He probably thinks people dob him in everytime he gets banned but Div probably just notices it. .
