    Dear Moderators, is there nothing that can be done to stop this silly, childish name-calling.

    Surely this site is supposed to be about our beloved Baggies, which I accept we can all have different opinions, but it seems to get ambushed with puerile comments which is getting to the point of spoiling it for the genuine posters.

    Just read these posts. I agree with you Tony, no need for such stuff. Temporary bans in place. I'm sure both parties will feel hard done by. Can't understand why posters can't just ignore visitors from other clubs when they visit if they are being offensive. They aren't even that often, just hoping to get a rise then off it goes.
    I've had enough, it won't be temporary bans if it happens again.

    Thanks Chris, I accept having different opinions, but there's no need to be abusive is there, You're right about visitors to our board, if you don't like them then ignore them.

    You're right about that Tony.

    In the past I was one of the worst for rising to the bait but I no longer do with certain "visitors" to the board.

    I simply ignore their "contribution" to the board and treat their posts as though they don't exsist and I've found that works for me.

    I must admit I have little time for the abusive posts on the board - bored being the operative word. I just feel it turns what was an entertaining forum into the sort of posting house that gives trolls a good name. Ribbing fine - preferably with a little imagination and good humour. Abuse is just tedious.

    You're spot on Roymit. I come on this board to discuss all things West Brom and to put my point of view and to hear the views of others, even if I disagree. What I don't come on here for is to be subjected to childish and stupid comments. As soon as a post descends to this level I move onto another post. Some posters are ruining what is, in general, an excellent vehicle for airing our views on the Albion.
