Glasgow_Saint Posted 17 March, 2014 Share Posted 17 March, 2014 Assuming Villa stay in the top 10 - we have 6 more chances to improve on this rather poor stat. I thought last season our style suited us against the better sides, but not so much this season. Spurs (A) Newcastle (H) Man City (A) Villa (A) - D Everton (H) Man Utd (H) COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glasgow_Saint Posted 17 March, 2014 Author Share Posted 17 March, 2014 GS, just how thick is your skin...?? The insults dont worry me one bit.... Its not unresonable to want to discuss one win against the top 10 sides given we are nearing the end of the season. However any discussion about poor runs or poor sets of results are not allowed it seems. I think when posters dont have the answers they find it easier to just insult others. I dont take it personally as anyone that raises the difficult questions gets abuse, not just me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avenue Saint Posted 17 March, 2014 Share Posted 17 March, 2014 MODS, seriously you need to take action! An opinion is one thing, but evident, obvious negative trolling? How many threads started by the same sad plonker to regurgitate the same agenda driven spiel...? There is a reason why there are dwindling members on here, including myself. This TOOL is a major part of the reason. You cannot have a genuine conversation abiut Saints on here these days, if you can't see this, you must be blind.

Window Cleaner Posted 17 March, 2014 Share Posted 17 March, 2014 (edited) A novel concept. It'll never catch on. When you successfully extend the ignore facility to anyone quoting the ignored poster the function becomes valid, until then it's totally useless unless every other poster ignores him/her, is that not right. It's a function that just doesn't work in any useful way. Now if it worked on any thread started by the user in question it might at least cut out some of the useless chaff.

Avenue Saint Posted 17 March, 2014 Share Posted 17 March, 2014 What you want is a like and dislike button for threads and individual posts. To show the number of individual votes too. This will serve 2 important purposes. 1, will show the majority opinion on here, 2, wum and trolls will quickly be discredited and their objectives in influencing popular opinion thwarted.

For people to give it the same amount of credence as another sincerely posted thread? Thats is very naive tp expect as much.

stevegrant Posted 17 March, 2014 Share Posted 17 March, 2014 Point taken but then the ignore function becomes obsolete and time has already been wasted on it hasn't it. Not by me, no. It's a standard feature of the software we currently use. Any extension of that would take up hours of my own time for the benefit of a handful of people who can't seem to control their own eyes and need the forum itself to tell them what is and isn't a valid post. I don't mind the odd bit of trolling but Glasgow just pushes the boat out too far.If you ignore one thread he starts another and then another. Control the number of posts started by any user in a given time and you'll get less hassle. What, like the 3-post limit for registered users, you mean? How is it more difficult to ignore a thread started by someone whose views you have no interest in when that person has started a number of threads? There are FIFTY threads on each page of the forum. At a rough count, they have been created by around 35 different users. It really isn't difficult to just not click on a thread started by whoever you happen to dislike this week.

Ah, good, the old "there's a problem with this site" thing again. You've been claiming there's a problem with this site for years, and yet look, you're still here, with your 11k+ posts. Some problem. It isnt hard to differentiate between posters occasionally posting controversial stuff for discussion and posters whose sole reason for being here is to get bites and wind up everybody else. And yet people seem incapable of just ignoring anything they deem to fit that bill. The odd thing is why you indulge him at the expense of everybody else.

There are seven by him on the front page alone. Anyway its not about how many threads he starts its about the fact he infects nearly every thread with deliberately wum posts and then derails every discussion because some people cant ignore him so everybody suffers the same endlessly repetitive crap.

It really isn't difficult. People seem to look for an excuse to get wound up and/or angry these days. Such a minor piece of functionality that it might as well not exist, eh? What really is the point of an "ignore" button, if by the simple expedient of some other poster quoting that ignored poster, their posts will be visible? Scroll on past it, you say. In exactly the same way that one would have had to scroll all of the posts of those one wished to ignore if the button didn't exist. If you're not going to accept constructive criticism from posters, then do something about those posters who get others wound-up or angry, rather than just metaphorically shrugging your shoulders. There have been plenty enough comments about posters declining to come on here as frequently as they used to, or not being bothered to pay their fiver because they are fed up with the incessant bickering and WUM's ruining the forum. It's your forum. If you want the level of debate to deteriorate, the number of subscribers to decline, then just don't do anything to prevent it going in the direction it is.
