Saint Charlie Posted 5 December, 2013 Share Posted 5 December, 2013 So, if you could permanently ban any member from this section of the Forum (they could still post in the off topic bits) who would it be and why? No personal insults allowed, just a clear rationale for your opinion. Mods - if you lock this it will really just highlight that paying customers are not allowed freedom to raise their views. Better to keep it all on one thread rather than scattered around pretty much all of the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alpine_saint Posted 5 December, 2013 Share Posted 5 December, 2013 Happy for you clappies to have a whinge thread, but it doesnt belong in this section. Really, I feel sorry for the way you chaps turn to jelly when someone posts a negative byline. I just picked up my first infraction for a year today for something pretty innocuous, and I am pretty certain it was the level of moaning the poor mod invovled was getting from certain Steven Segal wannabee posters on here. Meanwhile the very same Group of Posters get away with calling People "c*nts" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry Sanchez Posted 5 December, 2013 Share Posted 5 December, 2013 What a slimey little thread this is, a roll call of grasses, classless, I would not want anyone banned as it would have a detrimental to the forum, I predicted this two hours ago, the happiers ones become vicious when they have lost a debate.

Colinjb Posted 5 December, 2013 Share Posted 5 December, 2013 A contrary opinion is fine. A sustained repeated droning campaign not so much. I'm really tiring of this place, and the reason is that a few posters are typing the same ****e over and over again on threads that have little to do with their desired point. It's turning a discussion forum into a homogeneous mass of utter crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buctootim Posted 5 December, 2013 Share Posted 5 December, 2013 The Saintsweb dream thread: someone offers an opinion, everyone else agrees, end of thread Not really. Dream is someone offers an opinion, other people agree or disagree and make their case, some of them funny. Lots of other forums manage it. Trolling is what has killed this site, not anything else.

Saint Charlie Posted 5 December, 2013 Author Share Posted 5 December, 2013 So far leading the way is nobody to be banned. Second place is Barry Sanchez.

Whilst I agree that I wouldnt want anyone banned Im not sure that losing some of the worst offenders is going to be detrimental to the forum. Alps isnt one of those though.
