    banning

    ok just to ensure everyone knows trolling can be a banning offence i say can be

    from urban dictionary
    Trolling
    The art of deliberately, cleverly, and secretly p1ssing people off, usually via the internet, using dialogue. Trolling does not mean just making rude remarks: Shouting swear words at someone doesn't count as trolling; it's just flaming, and isn't funny. Spam isn't trolling either; it p1sses people off, but it's lame.

    The most essential part of trolling is convincing your victim that either a) truly believe in what you are saying, no matter how outrageous, or b) give your victim malicious instructions, under the guise of help.
    Trolling requires decieving; any trolling that doesn't involve decieving someone isn't trolling at all; it's just stupid. As such, your victim must not know that you are trolling; if he does, you are an unsuccesful troll.

    from wikipedia
    In Internet slang, a troll (/troʊl, trɒl/) is a person who starts quarrels or upsets people on the Internet to distract and sow discord by posting inflammatory and digressive,[1] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog) with the intent of provoking readers into displaying emotional responses[2] and normalizing tangential discussion,[3] whether for the troll's amusement or a specific gain

    can calling someone apeado or w4nker be a banning offence

    people are more than aware what certian posters views on subjets are be it a player the owner a manager the advertising etc etc

    putting up or starting threads so that this results in differing opinions is trolling

    i curenetly have 3 posts up all with my name
    all with people slagging me off
    you even say yourself when i was away
    dont be surprised when he comes back and responds

    i have chosen to ignore threads as i actually to a point beilieve in freedom of speech and thought

    i dont agree with calling people peados or ****37rs

    some of the replys on the wums thread (which was obviously put up to start arguments 0 or indeed is that not a trolling thread and should be removed maybe

    i think the word is off topic
    if we are discussing the relationship between owner and manager or why we cant get players in surely thats not off topic
    indeed if we are discussing transfers recent and in the future
    surely thats not offt topic

    seems this trolloing is just another lead to try and ban posters

    by a different means
    .
    if posters just keep coming up with this poster wont reply this poster is this this poster doesnt like miners etc etc
    this is of topic and is trolling
    surely

    dont we know that

    the truth is
    if some had balls they would say they agree that raf has and is making mistakes

    they would also say ash has done a lot of good for this club
    from where it was going

    they would also say they found some of rafas footy was very negative
    or thos that go would if being honest

    mind those that can debate
    arent the ones asking for trolling to be a banning offence

    Very few willing to debate without crying foul and calling out troll or WUM when they can't get the upper hand.

    Our days are numbered I think, pboro...or at least mine are.

    Yeah, 3 years and over 3,000 posts, none of which are foul in content or language and yet I'm a troll.
    You're a mod on a forum that isn't exactly bustling and yet you want to dictate over trivialities and yet allow the vile to be allowed.

    Just ban me now Ron, I'm done.
