Current Affairs This Forum

[GrandOldTeam]

Blues,

There's been a steady increase in reports from the Current Affairs forum during the past few weeks.

While it's against my instinct to have a moan about reports which are very valuable to help us moderate the forum, can I ask you all to revisit the pinned thread here;

https://www.grandoldteam.com/forum/threads/whats-this.94393/

... And carefully consider whether your report is rational.

Thanks.

Indeed. If people are not grown up enough to debate in here without resorting to reporting stuff to the mods then they really shouldn’t debate.

This is a good forum, enjoyed by many, allowed by GOT and moderated sensibly. The least we can do is not waste their time.....

It would be easier for everyone if Pete would stop drinking.

Just remove peoples ability to report in here!!!!!

Its not for me, but I do enjoy reading the back and forth.

Maybe put a disclaimer at the top that you enter at your own risk.

There are a few people in mind whose reporting rights might be revoked

How many reports per day are you looking at from here then?

I think we know where most of the reports are coming from. May I echo peteblue's post in this thread. There is very likely absolutely no need for the majority of reported posts. Toys being thrown out of prams springs to mind. "I don't like your opinion so I will report your post."

A fair percentage of overall reported posts come from here, deffo out of cinque with the percentage of regular posters in other forums. If that makes sense.

There is some of that, and also a bit of playing the ref at times.

Can't say it occurred to me to report posts in here (in spite of seeing a fair few that probably could have warranted it).

Are there really people reporting posts just cos they don't like the opinion expressed? Or is it posts where there's a genuine suspicion of trolling?

Surely it's easier (and more fun) to just point and laugh at the more ridiculous opinions out there?

You really should stop doing it in private messages then mate. Feel free to come out in the open- much more amusing that way!

Joking apart, anyone who offers an opinion against the majority may get called a wum, troll, drunk, plus an array of other more obnoxious things. I regard it as a sign of a lost argument when they do so. I don’t believe there is anyone on here trolling, well apart from that Russian Bot from Hull that’s now gone, it’s just different opinions that enrich the fabric of life....
