How many threads have you put this on ? If you dont like the forum its quite simple. Dont use it.nottinghamtiger wrote: ↑19 May 2021, 16:13 I think the forum has just about run it’s course now.
In fairness, it’s done well to keep going as more accessible forms of social media have developed - there can’t be many ‘traditional’ online forums still going strong.
At this point in time, though, I think the forum has actually become harmful to the club. The consistent abuse of players and staff; the daily rumour-mongering providing fodder for so-called ‘journalists’ who use it as click-bait; the constant demands for the club to deny rumours on a daily basis.
It’s gone beyond reasonable criticism (and I think I’m one of the most critical) and turned into a platform for trolls, who know it’s more-or-less open season on here. Things might change in future, but it’s got to the point where the forum is having a negative impact on the club and that’s not something I want to be part of.

It’s just frustrating that the forum has been good for so long, and to be honest not living in the area is where I can engage in RL discussion because nobody knows about RL where I live!
I’m not keen on other social media platforms because they always end up with trolling etc, and here used to avoid that (probably because it’s not quite as accessible) until the last few months.
What we have now is a situation where some people have realised trolling is tolerated here, and it’s actually become more damaging to the club than if the forum didn’t exist.

Re: Matagi
That’s what we have mods and admin for.
They need to start and stamp their authority on the trolls.
As for me I just don’t answer certain people.

It take someone with IT knowledge, who as a bit of spare time.
Who can keep popping on 2/3 times a day.
Any misdemeanours by posters, 2 warnings then a weeks ban.
If they persist, a months ban,
After that a full ban.
Simples.

Some will say ‘why shouldn’t I post rumours in the Rumours section?’ - at what point does it become trolling rather than speculation?
Where do we draw the line with expressing an opinion on players? It’s okay to say ‘he had a poor game’ and say ‘I don’t really rate him’, but where is the line between expressing an opinion about a player and abusing a player (or member of staff)?

Re: Matagi
Therein lies the problem. You have to put personal feelings to one side and be impartial.
You can't ban someone for being annoying, however much you find them annoying or disagree with them. Freedom of speech and all that. The issue is abuse, nastiness, and multiple accounts some users patently have. Perhaps that should include abuse/OTT comments of players and club officials too, after all we are now in the #BeKind era.
Perhaps we need to refresh the AUP and come up with some new collective forum rules that are stronger as well as new mods.

Re: Matagi
Is it part of the AUP to not troll a forum... I'm useless with IT I wouldn't be banning people on here tho except if it's clear there coming on here to troll the forum
