[Ionman34]

I understand it all right. I don't run away from a fight. I keep going. Someone needs to police it, the rules are laid out.

Can you please stop derailing the thread and making it about you?

You've made your point, you've got your attention, now leave it alone please?

You remind me of those motorway drivers who insist on sitting in the outside lane, doing 70 mph to prevent anyone else from going faster "because it's the law."

This forum will not change, or it would have done so a long time before you joined it.

Murphy has posted sage advice to you already. If you don't like certain posters, or more to the point the way that they post, ignore them.

There are plenty of knowledgeable, erudite posters on here that you can engage with, but keep up the crusade and you'll find these people giving you a wide berth.

You want to raise the level of the forum? Do it by example, not by crying to Admin.

Because you won’t. You don’t have that right and it won’t happen.

This place is self moderating. Don’t like something, use the foul vote option.

But get a bloody thicker skin if you intend on continuing to sully us with your presence.

This place is not self moderating, there are rules and procedures.
My skin is very thick otherwise I wouldn't be taking the like of you on.

Yes it is self moderating. I think I should know. Been posting on here since 2014.

You’re not taking on anyone. You’ve already been dealt with.

Btw what is it you deal in? Naughty boy.

I am doing it by example. I'm calling out unreasonable behaviour . I don't ignore people, that's brushing the problem under the carpet and not dealing with it.

I don't mind swearing but I don't like bullying and viscous language that belittles people. It's not necessary, it says more about the person dishing it out.

Isn’t there another thread for this moaning?

I am still reeling from learning we have "rules" on here...

In as friendly way as I can without wanting to cause any upset or anxiety to you.. Rather than pollute the match thread with this crusade, how about taking up the cause in the correct thread ?

Would you change anything about how the forum is run?

Dis' gon' be good.

When a foul vote is given I would expect it to be investigated and assessed as being justified and then action taken. If it takes more than one foul vote to activate a response that is an issue. If there is a mob vote against one individual that would need investigating. Someone set the rules, there needs to be a system in place that ensures they are followed.
Does the foul vote system work ?

Good post. Important to highlight that taking threads off topic is also punishable by foul vote!

Some absolute gold in that thread too!

The Brighton chaps are not happy.

....Anyone - regardless of tribal colours - accepts what happened yesterday was one of the most shameful injustices to happen in Premier League history.

What happened to us yesterday was a crime. Criminals should be punished. We need to mobilise...

The vast vast majority of posters on here accept and like the foul vote system. So yes it works.

Admin checks the foul votes. If they’re ‘nonsense’ votes then he will identify and discard. If they’re ‘acceptable’ votes he will count it. A person collects enough foul voted they will serve time in the bin. That time increases each time they get binned.

It’s for admin to decide what constitutes an acceptable foul vote, not you, not me. This is not a democracy.

Hope that helps. Stick your complaining in the thread that’s just been suggested to you and stop taking this thread off topic.

Thanks.

They’ll do nothing.

VAR has screwed most PL clubs at some point. It happens.

It either needs to be used better or scrapped.

They are so angry they have 6 threads on the game. That'll show 'em!

I might be speaking absolute bollocks here but I think yesterday was one of the few occasions this season at home where we have actually had VAR decisions go our way.

Also, that Stuart Attwell is up there as one of the worst refs in the League. I knew as soon as the game started when he delayed KO off that it was gonna be one of those days. It was only a few weeks ago he ran off the pitch in the second half against Chelsea.

Who's gonna read it ?
If insults are allowed within posts then a response should be allowed on that thread . Not diverted elsewhere.

 

[Top_Spur]

I think another thing that satisfies me with the result yesterday is that Brighton are obviously in good form but they turn up at 'crisis' Tottenham and get beat.

Absolutely love it.

Whatever.

I can see that whether it's abuse or a reasoned explanation, all you're really interested is the moral high ground and the ensuing argument.

You've had a number of reasonable people on here advise you on how to deal with the forum, posters that have been on here years and are respected on here.

But you seem to think you can swan on here and dictate to everyone else how they should behave here?

Keep that up and you'll be debating in an echo chamber.
