Turkish Posted 25 September, 2010 Author Posted 25 September, 2010 Saints Forever was nothing like this board. If you think they let people like Stu on there with the crap he talked about then your deluded. Saints Forerver was great because it was full of Saints fans. Simple as that. Now as Marco say's you got people who just want to create trouble for the sake of creating trouble. I posted on S4E from the very begining in 99/00, the forum was much more "laddy" in those days and much better fun. it changed after a season at SMS when all the new fans which never went to the Dell jumped on the bandwagon and started their tedious "Who's got a ticket for xxxxxx game?" threads where they would all excitedly talk about drinking three bottles of Alchopops and go on and on and on about how drunk they had been and who ws the drunkest. We had idiotic things like seating plans so forum members could see where each other were sitting at games. Gradually these soft, geeky types took over the forum to the point where like now, anything remotely controversial is immediately jumped on by the PC brigade. The funniest time on the old S4e board when all the newbies joined up was a certain female poster PM'd me saying she was going to "make my life hell" because i had been allegedly bullying one of her fragile, delicate male friends on the forum, who was obviously incapable of looking after himself. This was nothing more than mild p*sstaking but a pathetic reponse.
Turkish Posted 25 September, 2010 Author Posted 25 September, 2010 (edited) So you're saying that Mr Romsey was a comedy foil, who lit the ignition paper by posting something controversial, and added fuel to any dieing thread by saying something outrageous, but that he made up for his blatent trolling by interspersing it with racism, misogyny, and playground stapstick antics? Stu, represents the decline of the board. In the past he would have been ousted by the admins long ago. First point, i never saw him being racist. What you are failing to grasp is that if you dont want to read the posts you dont have to. For me, i enjoyed his posts, because they were different from the "Hammond is sh*t" "Does Rikkie want to leave" sh*t that people spout. Despite his internet Persona he was incredibily easy to give it back to as there was so much ammunition, some of the pi*s taking he was subject too was hilarious and non stop. If you are offended by slapstick and playground humour then i am amazed you know who jay from the Inbetweeners is. Edited 25 September, 2010 by Turkish
Turkish Posted 25 September, 2010 Author Posted 25 September, 2010 If you think the exhausting tendency to suffocate any life and variety out of a thread by returning to the same bugbears and grinding the same axes was a breath of fresh air,then I wholeheartedly agree.otherwise, I think you're spouting s**t. No doubt i'll see you posting on the imaginative "Hammond is sh*t" thread should we fail to win today then.
Ludwig Posted 25 September, 2010 Posted 25 September, 2010 You're whinging about unimaginative threads, yet the whole 'this place has gone downhill' nonsense has been going on for at least 5 years (in various incarnations of the board). You're so original and brilliant, I applaud you.

Ludwig Posted 25 September, 2010 Posted 25 September, 2010 And your contribution to this and all other threads are genius, you div. I'm not the one complaining about the standard of this place. I'd happily complain about the poor standard of your postings, though.
SW5 SAINT Posted 25 September, 2010 Posted 25 September, 2010 It's sadly full of aggressive, negative, Kids who try to outscore each other. Even the most reasoned debate will be spoiled by people piling in, name-calling and being generally offensive (not to mention inarticulate). FF will say something reasonably interesting and he'll get swarmed by pathetic, petty, idiots calling him all sorts. The site used to be a good place for a reasoned intelligent debate - not that it didn't get heated - and has suffered by great posters like Um Pahars getting sick of it and leaving. Like most things in life it's become 'dumbed down'. I pop on now and then, like now, but tend to get off sharpish, as the tone, regardless off the topic, descends Inevitably to playground level. Shame. Seconded
saint_kev Posted 25 September, 2010 Posted 25 September, 2010 I like a place without the cyber thug and happy racist posters, so keep up the banning orders. Saves me the trouble of having to find the "ignore" button.
Toadhall Saint Posted 25 September, 2010 Posted 25 September, 2010 For me this place has gone down hill because all people want to do is (excuse the football related pun) play the man and not the ball. There's loads of good/reasonable debates started but they soon turn into a slagging match - TBH if does my head in.
AndyNorthernSaints Posted 25 September, 2010 Posted 25 September, 2010 I like a place without the cyber thug and happy racist posters, so keep up the banning orders. Saves me the trouble of having to find the "ignore" button. +1.
alpine_saint Posted 25 September, 2010 Posted 25 September, 2010 I am still about, and still log in daily. However the site and the discussion has become trite and banal; there is nothing worth discussing. The team is ****, has blown itself out and is heading for the forth division and oblivion. The fact that the biggest thread on here is another attempt by the agenda-driven SOGGY to slag off the lastest CEO in order to get sympathy for his "Lowe wasnt so bad, you know" campaign, despite overwhelming evidence that no-one else really gives a shiny sh*t, just underlines this.

You really need to read a post before you slag it off Alps. As for an agenda, yesI do have one. It is to try and get some decent discussions going but that isn't going to happen unless you clear your mind before you start with your usual knee jerk reactionar response. Why don't you try and eal with the subject matter? How do you feel about the current situation? Did you feel we had turned a corner only to find that nothing had changed? If so, why do you feel that is? I see from anothet thread that you say we are heading for another relegation. If you really think that why is it when we have a supposedly better set up now? Don't you think these questions needed to be discussed? It has nothing to do with any one individual, but be honest, what really has changed?
Joensuu Posted 25 September, 2010 Posted 25 September, 2010 First point, i never saw him being racist. Didn't take me long to find an example, I'm sure there are countless others, most of which were probably deleted: http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?23914-Travellers-in-Romsey[url=http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?23914-Travellers-in-Romsey&highlight=paki][/url] (Note Ponty's posts below DBP's). What you are failing to grasp is that if you dont want to read the posts you dont have to. Oh, don't worry, I rarely read his posts, problem is he threw them about on every thread. You could try ignoring him, but other people quoted his posts. Some of them were so inflametory that they needed rebuking. I know, I shouldn't feed the trolls, but it's hard not to sometimes.
Turkish Posted 25 September, 2010 Author Posted 25 September, 2010 I'm not the one complaining about the standard of this place. I'd happily complain about the poor standard of your postings, though. Coming from a man with a posting history as poor as yours, had a quick look at some of your pearls of wisdom just now, i'm still awake, just.
Legod Third Coming Posted 25 September, 2010 Posted 25 September, 2010 All of this could be sorted out if someone just organised a get together of all posters with name badges so a few of us could buy one another a drink and the rest club each other into oblivion.
SW11_Saint Posted 25 September, 2010 Posted 25 September, 2010 Um Pahars "great poster" ! Hilarious ! The reason he cleared off was because he was busted. He liked to portray himself as ITK and a voice of reason when in fact he was neither. He knew no more than anyone else and was another agenda laden "I wantafanontheboard" delusional knob. Right on cue, Manji arrives. No further comment M'lud, I rest my case...

CB Fry Posted 25 September, 2010 Posted 25 September, 2010 I'm wondering when someone running this forum is going to settle on a new lead news story on the Saints Web home page. Apparently Alan Pardew being sacked was the last notable thing to have happened at SFC. Be sure to catch the latest breaking news FIRST right here: http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/

Be sure to catch the latest breaking news FIRST right here: http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/ The whole thing is a bit half-arsed really isn't it? Nice idea but I expect 99% of us would rather have a decent discussion forum and ******** to the other gubbins. I didn't renew my membership when it ran out. Then we had the big hoo-haa with Pardew etc so I did but now I'm wishing I hadn't bothered again. From memory, SaintsForever was much more of a laugh. More posts that made me chuckle, better banter, less nastiness... and you didn't have to pay a fiver for the privilege.
saintroyt Posted 25 September, 2010 Posted 25 September, 2010 christ how can anyone take anything on this site seriously when the landing page still has as its head line, pardew sacked .either stay with times or bring back saints forever,whay happened then the retards force close through abuse.Do you ever learn that slagging everbody of and anyone achueves nothing onless u have a solution
Right sider Posted 25 September, 2010 Posted 25 September, 2010 Is it time for an amnesty and invite everyone back. Could even be on a trial basis so can see how they get on, but i do miss the **** taking and the banter this place used to have.
Arizona Posted 25 September, 2010 Posted 25 September, 2010 I guess the fact that Franny Benali informed a good friend of mine that he was suing our chairman for £50K is one of the things I can't post about because of you strange and incorrect views on libel, then? I found the fact quite interesting and worth sharing, but then again... That's brilliant. Except it wasn't what you posted at all. You just wrote the word "allegedly" then stuck a list of things which are supposedly going on. Your perception of my legal knowledge is fairly accurate. However even I know the allegation you made about manicures constitutes a missuse of company funds. You can't just throw allegations like that around on the internet.
arfurdent Posted 26 September, 2010 Posted 26 September, 2010 is that anyone slightly amusing, controversial or entertaining is instantly banned or infracted. Dave Benson Phillips might be a total fat c*nt and a pain in the arse and love his posts or hate them you cannot deny they were interesting, people either agreed or it would start some interesting and often lengthy debates. Saintpaulkiptanui was a funny poster, but he too has been banned, i can honestly say i never found either his or DBP's posts remotely offensive, funny yes but maybe their brand of humour and discussion was too much for some of you delicate little flowers? Dune & Alpine are vilified and they're often seen as controversial or negative views, but at least they are interesting and you have to say Alps was bang on with his assessment of the squad over the summer, someting which sparked lengthty and interesting discussion and something i disagreed with him on at the time. Not seen them on here for a while, i hope they haven't gone the same way. This board has become a victim of its own infraction policy, take away what you might call "personality posters" which the above would fall into, in case they offend or upset the whining majority and you are left with a bunch of sterile, bland posters discussing the same topics with the same bland responses over and over again. In some ways though, i think this is reflective of our fan base. You may not like or agree with the personality posters, but at least they sparked some interesting discussions, i for one think this place is poorer without them. Ban him
Toadhall Saint Posted 26 September, 2010 Posted 26 September, 2010 The whole thing is a bit half-arsed really isn't it?

Agreed - you had posters on there that didn't take everything quite so seriously - at a guess I'd say that the age profile since then has gone down and there fore end up with more juvenile posts in so far as they don't think before they post and then play the man and not the ball. In effect its easier to call someone a k n o b instead of debating an issue/post. All IMHO.

Only now, it would seem from a quick check, are the racists slowly being banned or reining themselves in. Will I stump up again? Probably not.
hughieslastminutegoal Posted 26 September, 2010 Posted 26 September, 2010 Agree with the OP. Except about Dune, he makes me want to puke in my mouth. See that's the problem with posters like you - you think there is only one way to do anything.
Mao Cap Posted 26 September, 2010 Posted 26 September, 2010 Place is the same as it ever was. Indeed, this thread is almost identical to dozens of similar ones on this board and SaintsForever over the past decade.
scotty Posted 26 September, 2010 Posted 26 September, 2010 if im honest this forum has been crap for a couple of years,i think turkish is right, whatever the reasons there just isnt enough quality posters anymore. just like st marys,the forum is very sterile..... i dont know the mods or admin (perhaps one or two by sight) and im sure they think they are doing a good job but they need to shake this place up and once again make it the place it should be. dont be scared to upset people and stick two fingers upto the threat of libel. easy to say when you arent the one that'll get stuck with the bill.
Guided Missile Posted 26 September, 2010 Posted 26 September, 2010 That's brilliant. Except it wasn't what you posted at all. You just wrote the word "allegedly" then stuck a list of things which are supposedly going on. Your perception of my legal knowledge is fairly accurate. However even I know the allegation you made about manicures constitutes a missuse of company funds. You can't just throw allegations like that around on the internet. Basically, you appear to reflect the attitude pervasive amongst the moderators on this site. Misinformed about libel laws on the internet and far too precious about your own role and the overblown importance of this site in general. Now, if it was free, I would dismiss your patronising comments as the well meaning effort of an amateur helping to run a website, but as we pay for access, it p! sses me off that our unpaid contributions to the site are subject to censorship. You sound like a traffic warden giving legal opinion at a high court case, FFS. Just a tip. No one cares about the opinions of a bunch of anonymous posters, with regard to anything that is posted about a third tier football club and NO ONE is going to be sued for the content of the posts that appear here. Until you and the rest realise that you will disappear up your own arses with this site, in the same way as Keith Legg did with S4E. Towards the end of that site, I posted this, in response to one from Mike Wilde: Keith Legg wrote: I have received the following from Mike Wilde in regard to your points: Merlion Group’s turnover rose to approx STG 20m in 2005 and is expected (on current projections) to achieve in excess of STG 30m in 2006. This dramatic growth is due to the establishment of our speculative housing arm Infinity Homes Ltd. In respect of dividends there is a firm dividend policy in place at moment that prevents extraction of any more than 50% of taxable profit. I can also confirm that Merlion Group is certainly not my only source of income. I have substantial financial interests in a number of overseas countries as well as other companies and I have an established Family Trust which looks after family matters. I am not prepared to give information regarding my net worth as I am sure everyone can understand that it is not their business!! Guided Missile wrote Thank Mike for the information and I am glad to hear that the plc you control as (I am guessing) a minority shareholder, is growing from strength to strength. A couple points of clarification, if possible, as I am sure you want to get away from the computer to enjoy the sun in Jersey. 1. Do you intend to run Southampton Leisure plc with similar borrowing and thus interest coverage as you do Merlion plc and also a similar dividend policy? 2. £1,008,378 in dividends was taken out of Merlion plc in the financial year ending December 31st, 2003. Taxable profits before taxation were £569,069. Did you get the 50% round the wrong way that year? Shortly after this exchange, Legg PM'd me with a threat from Wilde that he was going take legal action for libel. I provided Legg with my lawyers name and address and told him to go ahead. A further period after this exchange, Southampton Leasure PLC went into administration, owing millions. More recently, Wildes' company Merlion Group went into liquidation. Grow some balls, guys. There is something not right about the club's higher management, in my opinion and definitely something not right about this site. Has Cortese got to you lot, like Wilde got to Legg. If so, this site is screwed...
Guided Missile Posted 26 September, 2010 Posted 26 September, 2010 Deja Vu: From: Keith To: Guided Missile Posted: Sat Jun 24, 2006 3:15 pm Subject: I think.. ..your posts about Wilde's personal finances could be construed as possibly libellous. He has given you a response and won't talk further on the subject. I think you've tried to made a point and like many of yours, they are based on half arsed information and your own agenda. From: Guided Missile To: Keith Posted: Sat Jun 24, 2006 4:28 pm Subject: Re: I think So Mike Wilde has threatened to sue me and you for libel, has he Keith? Listen, you well know my post was pure conjecture regarding his personal finances. With regard to Merlion plc, my information was based on the returns he files with Companies' House, so that post was hardly libellous. By the way, I have no agenda but finding out as much as I can about someone who is about to control the football club I support. I expect the same transparency from Rupert Lowe. Look in the mirror and ask yourself what your agenda is. By the way, if Mr Wilde is threatening to sue me for libel, my lawyers details are : Contact: ******** ******** ******** ******** ****** does all my corporate legal work and is a really nice guy. PS I don't really want my tenner back, just this site's impartiality.

You may not like or agree with the personality posters, but at least they sparked some interesting discussions, i for one think this place is poorer without them. Naaaaa the reason it's gone downhill or is perceived to of, is because some of you believe your ego's & take your opinions & your self’s too seriously, often at the expense of others. Those posters you refer to often insult or in some cases threaten people who don’t agree, how pathetic.
stthrobber Posted 26 September, 2010 Posted 26 September, 2010 Um Pahars "great poster" ! Hilarious ! The reason he cleared off was because he was busted. He liked to portray himself as ITK and a voice of reason when in fact he was neither. He knew no more than anyone else and was another agenda laden "I wantafanontheboard" delusional knob. Bit unfair Manji. Um and I sat on different sides of the fence on many issues, but he's a decent guy who was possibly swayed by Mike Wilde's lies about putting a fan on the board etc, but his aims were genuine and it was really only after Wilde's spin won the day that people realised the fan on the board was a carrot and no more. Sadly once Jim Hone had put the knife in on the fan issue, then the Trust was hamstrung. I don't know if this message board has degenerated or not. I stopped posting because every thread descended into a Lowe vs Wilde argument which always got acrimonious. Whilst the mods have to stop the board descending into anarchy, they still have a duty to the vast majority of posters who want to talk footy. That might water down the "hotties" as far as some threads are concerned, yes, it can lead to bland posting too. I left Saintslist because I felt it became bland and sterile, yet on the other hand people don't want to make a comment and be labelled a cu*t for making it, even if it's true. Basically I'm somewhere in between. I like the odd meltdown because occasionally, I too like to let both barrels go, but I also understand the need for restraint
up and away Posted 26 September, 2010 Posted 26 September, 2010 Towards the end of that site, I posted this, in response to one from Mike Wilde: Shortly after this exchange, Legg PM'd me with a threat from Wilde that he was going take legal action for libel.

There is something not right about the club's higher management, in my opinion and definitely something not right about this site. Has Cortese got to you lot, like Wilde got to Legg. If so, this site is screwed... Get over yourself. If ever you make the amount Wilde did, the first thing you want to do is get that money under your personal holding, rather than the company holding. Just because he left a shell behind really means nothing, as it was then all a personal holding. Wilde was a busted flush because he was only prepared to outlay a fraction of what was required, or could afford. As for growing a pair, go sneak the clip ons out from your wife's handbag and put a nice big billboard up in your garden or work. Alternatively you could promise to underwrite the site for any costs resulting in actions from your post!
Verbal Posted 26 September, 2010 Posted 26 September, 2010 Just to help... Update 2009: High Court ruling on bulletin board cases The High Court has ruled that defamation on internet bulletin boards is akin to slander rather than libel. Mr Justice Eady hearing a case regarding posts on an investors bulletin board (or forum) has said that such comments are not to be taken in the same context as a formal newspaper (etc) article and are more like slander due to the casual or conversational nature of them. Mr Justice Eady stated that posts on bulletin boards "are rather like contributions to a casual conversation (the analogy sometimes being drawn with people chatting in a bar) which people simply note before moving on; they are often uninhibited, casual and ill thought out...Those who participate know this and expect a certain amount of repartee or 'give and take'." As such "When considered in the context of defamation law, therefore, communications of this kind are much more akin to slanders (this cause of action being nowadays relatively rare) than to the usual, more permanent kind of communications found in libel actions...People do not often take a 'thread' and go through it as a whole like a newspaper article. They tend to read the remarks, make their own contributions if they feel inclined, and think no more about it." Full article [Reading Room]. Fortunately, Eady has been kicked out. This utter nitwit was responsible for more damage to freedom of expression than anything or anyone in the last few years. We should hopefully now see a fall in successful actions against message boards - at least for libel and slander. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/law-and-order/8003396/Justice-Eady-replaced-as-Britains-top-libel-judge.html

"far too precious about your own role and the overblown importance of this site in general."
100%Red&White Posted 27 September, 2010 Posted 27 September, 2010 Message boards have changed, not necessarily for the better. As plenty have said, Saints Forever was very good in the early days, as was the original Ugly Inside site and, if you weren't of a nervous disposition, the B-anter board was mostly entertaining. (and they were free!)
hypochondriac Posted 27 September, 2010 Posted 27 September, 2010 Why was guided missile banned? One of the best (not to mention most correct) posters who has ever been on here and he is a long term contributor. Bit p*ssed he is banned actually. (Unless he PMd someone something which deserved it otherwise I can't see why he has been banned.)
Fitzhugh Fella Posted 27 September, 2010 Posted 27 September, 2010 Blimey. Post #81 and #82 got Misselbrook banned. Did he hit some sort of raw nerve with the mods ? Bit harsh banning him! I am not sure about the libel aspect of what he wrote but let's face it he was right about Wilde and I and many others were wrong. Sometimes things need to be in the open. This forum needs posters like GM regardless of whether you agree with him or not. Perhaps he should be let back on if he agrees to underwrite any action that is taken by the club?

With the loss of Steve Godwin over the 19C incident, this board is losing some of its most interesting contributors. It's sad.
Dr Who? Posted 27 September, 2010 Posted 27 September, 2010 I got told off for posting to much in one night, well starting to many threads!! I thought the idea was to post what you wanted (Lounge) then others on here decide if they want to reply. If they do not then the post clears off out of the bottom of the screen. if they do then it is kept alive until it has reached it limit? It was one night I posted about 6 I think (new threads) and I got told off for spamming! A 35 year old married man with two kids who works in accounts, and has been on this board, Saintsforever and the Ugly Inside since the turn of the century. JOKE!!!
Essruu Posted 27 September, 2010 Posted 27 September, 2010 GM was one of the few contributors that I'd stop to read the postings from, rather than skim over like I do for so many. There must, surely, have been something said or happen by private message to warrant it. If he was indeed banned as a result of #81 and #82 then this forum is more f***ed up than we already think.
