Hertha/BJFC1938 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Have often wondered about this forum compared to other clubs ones where you need to be an active forum member to both look at people's opinions and to post comments and do people think that this forum should be a members only forum ? Without a doubt there are loads of people who have no interest in commenting on here but who definitely have much interest in viewing certain posts from certain clubs with very fond interest . Would it be better if it were members only on here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latapythelegend Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 No. It's a football forum. If you wouldn't want the rest of the internet to see what you post then why post it in a forum where already thousands of people can read it?

No I'm talking about non members being able to read posts and more so the repercussions from it as has been highlighted on another thread , fully aware that you need to be a member in order to post.

fan of the juniors Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Can see pros & cons of it but personally I think you should be a member before you can view posts . Our Facebook page is a closed group as that's what we wanted as certain folk were using peoples views on it for various other reasons that I won't go into .

I doubt it would make much difference whether it was set to private or not - easy enough for somebody who is a member to screenshot it and bring it to the attention of Mr Fixtures Man...assume that's who you're talking about. Ultimately, anything you post online is in the public domain. If you feel strongly enough about a subject to vent your frustrations/anger/whatever it's your right to do so, but it can can come back to bite you and end up having a negative effect, as appears to have happened here.

Shanner Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 nah leave it open it's just meant to be a bit of fun or a place to blow off steam. Anyone wanting to use posts to cause trouble is going to be undeterred by having to sign up anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never really been a fan of such forums. I'd have been less inclined to join p&b if I couldn't have a look first to see what was being discussed etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without a doubt there are loads of people who have no interest in commenting on here but who definitely have much interest in viewing certain posts from certain clubs with very fond interest . Would it be better if it were members only on here? Nope. Allowing anyone to view the forum will encourage new users to sign up fairly often and air their views, good or bad. I was just a browser of the forum for a good couple of years before I signed up, but whether you want to post because you have something to say, or lurk because you find it informative or just entertaining, it's what the forum's all about really.

Rochstar1920 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 keep it open. I was a lurker before I signed up. this is where fans get to voice an opinion on all things about football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeKRR1878 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Keep it open as some people like to get some information and things from it.I think if fans are making threats or whatever towards players, management, committee then they have every right to have action taken against them by the club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surreyblastie Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Do we want the few dictating over the great and good. We need to avoid the closed shop. Look what happened In years gone by when we allowed the "closed shop bullies" to rule. We have moved on. Let's allow access to all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likewise, a committee's exceeded the remit of what they're put there to do to an embarrassing extent if they think they're entitled to carpet fans who disagree with them...it's still a free country.

fan of the juniors Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 the SJFA will not have any involvement in this, will be from some sensitive club member/s who thinks that there position means there opinion is what matters and nobody else is allowed to say different. I had not even heard of P&b until about 2 years ago when everyone was talking about an on going feud between our previous chairman and an ex player. Like many others I followed the saga from behind the scenes and made up my own mind , my conclusion was that if you play with fire you will get burned , eventually he could not stand the heat and had to get out of the kitchen, probably the hardest decision he ever had to make but for the good of the club the right one. I can assure you that the sjfa do get involved in this . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
