KAWB Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 Guys an arse , trying to be funny/controversial/whatever , cant think of any other forum that i view that would tolerate his posts , if the mods dont take the decision to bin him maybe we should stop using the forum , and ignoring him is not an answer , as an aside how many parents would be horrified at that sort of thing was on a football forum for kids to see , lets see some decisive moderator action please Well said. Get the guy removed or fans will walk, it's obvious that he's pissed off enough people with his peado comments. Sick. Do your job mods.

Grant Tierney's tackle Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 (edited) maybe they do - i mean it must be hard for them and yourself to be a paedo/incest/rape-apologist i mean have a different a rosy point of view i'm away back to my coven though to brew up a new potion Firstly - I didn’t see the comments of which you are referring and would therefore find it hard to comment or apologise about them. I can only guess they have been removed by moderators. Secondly – I don’t care if moderators decide to ban users for crossing the line. It’s their forum. I do care when keyboard warriors go on a personal crusade and try to tell them how to do their job. Thirdly – Maybe you can go back and have another read of the rules, mainly the part about personal abuse. I’ll be expecting an apology.

B.C.G. JAG Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 A thread was started by a poster which caused a fair bit of outrage. The original poster then requested the thread be deleted. I am sure he will have received fair warning about some of his views. The matter should now be closed. However, I am sure he is aware that he his jacket is hanging on a shoogly peg now and any further airing of such offensive views would result in action being taken. It's also up to other posters whether or not they want to interact any further with him. Personally if I were that poster (if he is or isn't real) I think I might feel now that this forum is no longer a welcoming platform for my ideas and might retreat a little. This isn't a playground, we don't vote on who we do don't want to hang out with, it's a discussion forum where we expect to find a certain amount of disagreement. When someone says something unacceptable they should be given a fair warning for their behaviour and given the opportunity to make ammends. How many of us are guilty of losing the rag with someone on here or saying something we might regret later? If everyone got banned from one screw up (no matter how offensive / off the wall / in orbit it is) then the forum would be even quieter than it is. Time to move on. If people are seriously thinking about moving on then that's pretty disappointing that we would let one person's ill thought out opinions further shrink the Thistle Community. We're bigger than this.

As the person who had to issue bans to some of the lynch mob back on the old forum, I can assure you that they are not bigger than this.

Wasn't on the old forum so can't comment , but "lynch mob" is a strong term , of course controversy and debate are part of what makes the forum enjoyable , but are some things not so wrong that they're beyond debating , as i said previously dont know of anywhere else those opinions would be tolerated .

From what I've seen, comments were made and people were rightly offended. They complained and the mods dealt with it as they saw fit. Others might have handled it differently, but it wasn't their decision to make. And that should be the end of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 Easiest thing is just to ignore his attempts at Trolling. Don't respond to any of his comments and hopefully he will crawl back under his rock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gianlucatoni Posted May 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 Firstly - I didn’t see the comments of which you are referring and would therefore find it hard to comment or apologise about them. I can only guess they have been removed by moderators. Secondly – I don’t care if moderators decide to ban users for crossing the line. It’s their forum. I do care when keyboard warriors go on a personal crusade and try to tell them how to do their job. Thirdly – Maybe you can go back and have another read of the rules, mainly the part about personal abuse. I’ll be expecting an apology. Dealing with you points in order: 1. You admit that you knew nothing about the thread in question but sought fit to comment on my witch hunt. In doing so you have therefore displayed a startling lack of sensibility but the forum is the place for opinions so you are welcome to it and I sought fit to respond. 2. I've clearly asked the mods for an explanation as to why this character has been allowed to stay given the outrageous manner of the post - whether he's backed or sacked it would be interesting to hear the reasoning. The silence however is a poor show indeed on what essentially isn't really a busy forum to police with (at best) 10 active threads per day. 3. You're clearly a mammy's boy wanting a wee apology - perhaps my words were rather over the top but sometimes strong words are needed in an information vacuum of the mods making - stop by later and I'll get you a double nougat with raspberry sauce.

I didn’t expect an intelligent or articulate reply and I wasn’t disappointed, so well done you on that part. Anyway, back to the pube measuring contest. My original comment was clearly in response to the noises you were making about banning somebody. It was completely irrelevant what was said leading up to it because it has been removed. I wonder what makes you think you’re entitled to demand anything from moderators of a football forum, of which you pay nothing for the upkeep for. BCG Jag summarised the situation pretty much spot on and entering into any more dialogue with you will only implicate me further in pathetic bickering, which almost certainly sickened the owners of the last forum.
