Social Media Boycott

[laddo]

It's very much in keeping with the reasons behind the universal decision by football in this country to instigate a widespread social media 3 day blackout. Obviously there are a few more layers but they are secondary to the main aim and more NCM centric.

Recent events on here over the weekend can only be seen a positive in my eyes (and clearly others by the responses/comments) , it's been a great few days for the #mission and big steps have been taken.

We should no longer tolerate it.

The question from this big news story is will it be effective? Will it be the trigger to properly tackle something that clearly needs addressing? Or will it be a token effort and about as effective as t-shirts in a warm up or rainbow laces.

Will be an interesting story to watch evolve. I do believe now is a great time for this to happen (it's long overdue) but as we've seen with other recent national/global causes real action has taken place and attitudes are a changing.

All well and good, but I said "Please could you explain exactly what your 'mission' is, what the aims are, and how you hope to achieve it?" A clear answer would be appreciated, rather than avoiding the question.

I'll give you a start to your reply - My mission to make NCM a better place is...............

Give up please before this turns intolerable for the rest of us. Who really cares what Laddo’s mission is? It’s destined to fail if he thinks he can change the board, unless his mission is to stop endless, meaningless bickering in which case I fully support it and hope he succeeds.

I do for one. I hope he tell us rather than says #nobodycares yet again.

How do you think he's done in stopping "endless, meaningless bickering" so far? Has he made it better or worse?

Agree, he hasn’t done well, yes he makes it worse, the pair of you rise to each other’s bait so often and then neither can seem to let it lie. Though to be honest between you there seems to be less than before - maybe it’s all in the luggage room, or maybe I am doing better at ignoring the posts that turn into the long winded bickers.

For Laddo the board does not need a missionary (as said by others) especially not a self-appointed one. It is full of widely opposing opinions, some we agree with, others we vehemently disagree with, that allows healthy debate. It does need to keep the abuse of fellow posters out and Swale does that well, we could all help him by not resorting to the name calling and stupid personal snipes.

The strategy from laddo seems pretty obvious. Wind certain posters up so much at the right moment that they end up getting banned. Its working pretty well but It'll be a lot harder to do with Elite as he isn't an prat like the the other 2. I honestly think its better you blocked him Elite. you would go up a lot in my estimations if you swallowed your pride and did if that means anything at all to you, which it probably doesn't! What you don't know won't hurt you.

Despite a few differences, your opinion is one I've always respected QP. I think you have a point, but in my opinion ever since laddo started his 'mission' the board has become a worse place. I realise that I'm part of the problem, so if he will either declare what his mission actually is or abandon it, I will consider your advice.

Thank you CamPie, you are spot on with that post, especially your first line.

WTFAYTA? Centric? It's a fricking message board!

"tolerate it". Tolerate what precisely?

Were you born a Tw@t or have you grown into it?

We have a moderator, we do not need a self appinted "missionary".
