Well I may be wrong but I am of the opinion that Pboro and yourself have purposely set out to destroy this board just as you saw the Sunderland one was destroyed by a handful of cronies which you witnessed.

I think you're 100% wrong.

Just look at the number of posters who have stopped posting on here for exactly those reasons.

Which posters have stopped posting?

When I started posting on here as ghostrider 3 years ago it was nearly dead.
It will die again if people want posters banned for having differing opinions, regardless of whether the opinions are unpopular and don't conform to the status quo.

It's all that's required. I said my bit and you answered and I acknowledged your answer.
Simple enough.

I´d like to see a bit more moderating from the moderators. Seems like they think moderating is just about banning someone or not banning someone. They´ve got our email addresses - why not have word on the quiet if things are getting out of hand? I moderate on another board and if someone makes a personal insult I edit the post when I see it and then send a warning privately. They do it again, they get suspended. They keep doing it, they get banned. Step by step punishment, it´s not rocket science and it usually works well before you get to banning anyone.

You need to get together and make some rules about it.

Kev Broon for starters was a top poster as well as many more. And three years ago not when you began but changed from Wolfie to Ghost the board was still healthy.

As you well know it's not the differing opinions. It's the wind ups, the insults to particularly Geordies, the insults to individuals.Issues like Pboro giving it out but acting like a whingeing coward when he gets it back and calls for bans but is always saying posters are trying to get him banned.

He's his own worst enemy and will get himself banned without any help, and sometimes unfortunately you are not too far behind him.

i seem to remember once when a post was edited by a mod the screaming shout of censorship rang out

So kevbrown then?

I was away from this forum for a good while. a good few years.
When I came back after the change, it was dead. Very few posters were on but it built up with myself and pboro as part of it and seemed fine.

But posters are always trying to get him banned. He's not imagining it. I see it regularly and him citing bans is him saying what's good for the goose, kind of thing. And he's correct.

Yeah I'm not too far behind...but why is that?
Is it because you say it is or do you know something I don't from higher up?
If I get banned then I get banned. I have absolutely no control over that.

I'd like you to tell me why I am close to getting banned though. Let's see if the excuse is a good one.
