Bring it back, people who don’t want it can easily just stay out of it.

Oh, but we can't Pete

 

[Bohemian Toffee]

TL-DR Bring the CA Forum back and rename it in @LinekersLegs honour.

Totally agree.

 

[Blueclouds]

Get rid.

Mate, give Dan some credit. He has bought or built tech that keeps this place remarkably clear of trash accounts.

The few remaining are folks that actually believe what they are posting and a few real live people on a wind up. The last group outs themselves eventually.

The approach I try to take now, is to reply once, because like others have said elsewhere, some things need to be refuted. But I'm not going to continue to engage beyond that. Its gives the WUMs more chances to be WUMs and for true believers, there's nothing I can say/post to change their mind.

@LinekersLegs is a great example (in many ways across this forum). She often doesn't reply specifically to anyone. Just posts some information that is devastating to a wums/believers post, but without engaging directly to avoid a back and forth that can take over a thread. Snide and nous of the highest order.


TL-DR Be more like LL

Should see some of the abuse she sends privately to people though, couple of wines in her and she's booking Transatlantic flights to come over and spark people out.

As soon as it is back our old friend Adversus @Toffee_Loaf will start posting again.

Every village needs an oaf...

I say keep it closed and instead just allow these topics in Ale House and if posters can’t be reasonable then ban them. Give the mods and @the sniderman full slaughter abilities to weed out our enemies.

Bring it back, people who don’t want it can easily just stay out of it. However those that do use it should be tolerant of other peoples opinions……

Agreed.

Except yours, which should not be tolerated.

ps, at no point was my comment a barb at Dan or anyone other than the bot owners.

I mean this has always been the way, but it got shut, so quite clearly isn't as simple as that.

I’d like to see it back as I enjoyed reading some of the input some gave on what was happening in Ukraine etc… obviously if you’re being a massive bellend in there then you get yourself thread banned, opposing views are good for causing debate but obvious trolls were obvious in there.

The power/privilege to contribute on there is in your own hands … and with power comes responsibility… just be sensible.
