U4PB Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Hi U4PB here. I'm a enormous fan of the website. From 2009 to 2020 I've visited it more than 3,000 days or 92% of available days if you're a statistician. But my posting and indeed my life has reached a cross roads, and the road marking loom as I ponder whether to 'Give Way or 'Stop,automatic handbrake on and ditch the website forever. Why, because I'm sick of the idea this is a loosely moderated website! I don't think I've had a warning even once in 11 years of interrupted posting but you can get an outright ban for posting as a banned poster, despite not posting anything remotely offensive ever. I was delighted when the sensible moderator okayed my last account, only to be banned a couple of posts later when discussing who'll play CB against Israel. What does it boil down too and its just simple postcode jealousy - and we as an online community forum needs to be better than this. We must be better than this and we can be better than this. I propose a 2nd house where the moderators must clear their work with some of the forums' smarter voices. Get it right and they'll be banned, get it wrong and they poster and the jury allows the 'picked on' poster #whyalwaysme to a free 100 red dots to paintball the weak. @MixuFixit @Rugster @Marshmallo @Tynierose To strive for the gold standard in online football forum moderating. I propose this motion in my name and in my counties name (#perthshire) 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arabdownunder Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Properly constituted upper house needs representation from the established church. @Cardinal Richelieu @Bishop Briggs should get a seat on the red benches. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carpetmonster Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Had the pleasure of meeting PB at a charity do once. He was unsurprisingly wired to the moon, and about as funny as a kick in the windpipe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throbber Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 I think the points should be scrapped after 2 years of good behaviour like when you get a speeding ticket @Tynierose 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 I've been banned before, shit happens and sometimes people are just having a bad time of it and vent that frustration in less than ideal ways. Such is online life.I find this forum very lenient and I think that's welcome. Theres kind of a Scottish mentality of things can be a bit shit for people and they need to express that and as long as its not too personal or too frequent its not a big issue.At the end of it everyone on here is a Scottish football fan. That comes with its own tribalism but we are all still just people trying to get through life and if shitposting on an internet forum helps people cope in any way then its doing its job. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
