Why, because sportal talked about rugby league. RETWEET QUOTE MULTI-QUOTE PM REPORT |

Why, because sportal talked about rugby league. Maybe thats got something to do with the fact that most posters can't even start threads about league? Now you've banned the one person who does. You need a dose of reality mate. RETWEET QUOTE MULTI-QUOTE PM REPORT |

Banning is pretty ineffectual as this lot seems to have the time to put together new accounts. If a poster has a problem with what someone is posting, they can block them themselves. The rest can just sit back and waste our own time reading through what we know will be mindless ranting RETWEET QUOTE MULTI-QUOTE PM REPORT |

STANDARD-ISSUE Guru Member Join: 10/05/2012 Posts: 13,573 Location: QUEENSLANDER! | #46 Posted : Monday, 24 August 2015 11:43:58 AM The irony is the ENTIRE rest of the forum has actually died. But apparently it's the current League thread posters fault . Mitch, seriously, get a ***king grip. The only thing keeping the Sportal threads still alive IS the current crop of posters. I too wish it was like it was when I first found it, but it isn't like that anymore because of the lack of admin/tech support from a couple of years ago. If you personally don't like it then don't come back. SIMPLE. I'd rather someone like you who contributes next to nothing was lost to the forum then the regular every day posters you are trying to ban. SPortal will never be like it used to be. And that is because of Sportal itself. As Honeysett said, there isn't even a link to the forums anymore and Sportal have said they have abandoned it. It is a miracle it is still here at all. And you can thank the current posters for it still being alive. RETWEET EDIT DELETE QUOTE MULTI-QUOTE REPORT |

Now the non fantasy threads will go from 4-5 people arguing with themselves to 1-2 people watching tumbleweed go by. The mods here have one job, which is to keep the rubbish flame wars out of the fantasy thread (and I guess any other thread people want to take seriously, should it exist) PS There is an "hide user posts" button on the forum, its pretty easy to spend your life ignoring the ****py alts RETWEET QUOTE MULTI-QUOTE PM REPORT |

You know you probably should, but while only 15 players are actually turning up on match day, you can't ban the half a dozen people who don't turn up to training. When the numbers are up a fair bit, then you can be a bit tighter with what you enforce. RETWEET QUOTE MULTI-QUOTE PM REPORT |
BEAST FROM THE BIG EAST Seasoned Campaigner Newbie Join: 6/02/2015 Posts: 1,514 Location: New Zealand | #50 Posted : Monday, 24 August 2015 12:18:45 PM I know I'm only new to the forum and usually only post in the fantasy thread so my opinion won't really hold much weight here but figured I'd throw in my $0.02. Do fiddy, hench, KFP and their various alts sometimes disrupt the forum with the garbage they spit out that usually follows a broncos vs dragons, a bet, or an I'll track you down and beat you up comment? Yes. Does it have such a huge impact that it ruins the entire forum? No. Does anyone ever really take anything fiddy says seriously? No. I'm all for monitoring it more tightly if that's what you guys as the mods want but to basically take out a fair chunk of consistent posters who keep threads ticking along just because you had enough with some off topic **** is a bit harsh in my opinion. Just let them back, give them a PM if you want that basically says you have the sizzler thread to start **** in and let them loose in there to sort out arguments and you guys can monitor that till your hearts content, no baiting or clear targeting of each other in other threads or you get banned for good, do you agree to this. If they agree then let them in, if not then ban them for good if you want. They only really have issues with each other. Fiddy may/may not have serious issues but it is clear to everyone what he does/doesn't like and it usually involves the broncos brigade. Hench and KFP just like stirring **** and baiting fiddy into an outburst. No other posters have really had issues with them and if they had then it is all generally light hearted banter. People will always run into people that they just have problems with. Give them the sizzler thread to sort out issues and let everyone know what goes on there. If the 'league talk only' people don't want to hear/see it then they don't venture into that thread. Pretty simple if you ask me RETWEET QUOTE MULTI-QUOTE PM REPORT |
