Why pboro needs to go

[Geordie_Jacko]

I've only recently come back on the footymad forum and am already sick of seeing the same two people constantly arguing an trying to find faults in what ones said. I think we could have a much better board if that just all stopped and also think we'd have more posters. I wonder how many fans pop on here , think about making an account . Then check out the threads to see constant bickering between 2 fans of 'the same' club and think sack that we'll find another forum.

There's nothing wrong with tit for tat arguing here and there. It's easy overlooked if people really want to.
The ignore function is there so it's not like people are forced to view.

I also asked if we could have the off topic forum back where arguments can be sorted out along with any other off topic stuff but nothing seems to have come back from that as of yet.

Did you manage to get any feedback from the off topic suggestion to the admin/owners?

I e mailed the person who set up the extra toon news forum for the footymad posts. I haven't heard anything back. I suppose its possible that he was just involved in the initial setting up and ironing out problems that occurred in the 1st few weeks/months.

I'll see if i can send another message to the overall footymad people themselves and see if anything comes of that. from what i could gather previously. kev who runs NUFC page can't open up a sub forum himself.

I actually wrote to whoever is at the helm adding to what has been asked for.
I simply put a case forward and asked for a reply to it.
Naturally I'm just one poster but if man y do a similar thing on top of the mods doing it, then maybe they will do something.
There's a few other forums on here that have sub forums, so there shouldn't really be any issue, assuming those at the top answer queries.

Not sure how an off topic board would solve the issues people are having, to be fair. The problem is that legitimately on topic threads constantly devolve into name calling and one upsmanship, so unless you have a special subforum dedicated to pboro and expat and the mods are prepared to constantly split their posts off into new threads on the other forum then I'm not sure it's going to change anything

Setting the 'ignore' option on other posters will presumably only hide their input, but still show all the reaction to their input, which would just be odd - and doesn't solve the issue of new users being put off by the board being dominated by certain personalities.

Ultimately the only adult solution to all this is for those two posters to call a truce and try to stop turning threads into personal vendettas. To encourage this, maybe a zero tolerance policy for ad hominem attacks needs to be enforced by the mods - i.e. simply start deleting all posts that contain a non-banter personal attack on someone.
