Tom Stronach Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 Could admin please ban the members who insist on spamming threads with these dreadful puns? I, like most people, use this forum to keep up to speed with what's going on at our club. It's bad enough having little or no coverage in the newspapers without our own fans spoiling interesting discussions with their pathetic attempts at humour.

Ah, I knew there was another insult, but I couldn't be bothered going back to find out what precisely it was. Nice also to see the correct spelling of "embarrassing".

I, like most people, use this forum to keep up to speed with what's going on at our club. It's bad enough having little or no coverage in the newspapers without our own fans spoiling interesting discussions with their pathetic attempts at humour. Aint goin to apologise for the use of puns on the forum, i too use the forum for information about the club, especially here in East Lothian where they still give all the headlines to the OF you need a microscope to find anything re Thistle, so coming onto this forum and the clubs website is invaluable, since a lot of the info you guys put on it is from the papers in the west, and i do appreciate it,if you dont like the "pathetic attempts at humour" tough, can you do better?

It's bad enough having little or no coverage in the newspapers without our own fans spoiling interesting discussions with their pathetic attempts at humour. halfwits, eh Tom.... And your evidence for that assertion is exactly what ? humour is subjective, but I always thought that most Thistle fans were blessed with a sense of humour. Perhaps your earnest and forthright opinions on 'halfwits' with 'pathetic' attempts at humour would be best served within the environs of one of the greater Glasgow teams who tend to take life too seriously ? I would ban people for bile, abuse and bullying on forums; not for the crime of making a pun. Just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Willjag Posted June 15, 2011 Members Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 Don't agree with banning folk for it, but it's starting to get a bit tedious now.

Jaggernaut Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 I would ban any member who tries to use a pun. No room for complacency here.

Administrators Col Posted June 16, 2011 Administrators Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Don't agree with banning folk for it, but it's starting to get a bit tedious now. Can I make a suggestion, puns only in the general forum and leave the football forum for football? Think this is probably the best solution to keep everyone happy. So from now on - please keep puns to the general chat section and leave the main jags forum for Thistle related stuff and other football topics. We don't want to make a big issue about this and don't have a major problem with the puns. But as has already been mentioned, the problem comes when threads are ruined by pun jokes. If it continues we will end up with a forum full of pun jokes rather than discussion about Thistle - which is what the forum is here for. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but please keep it friendly. You may not like some members using puns but that does not give you the right to start making abusive comments about them. That is what will get you banned - not making pun jokes. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Passenger Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 I always thought that most Thistle fans were blessed with a sense of humour. Perhaps your earnest and forthright opinions on 'halfwits' with 'pathetic' attempts at humour would be best served within the environs of one of the greater Glasgow teams who tend to take life too seriously ? What a load of bollocks. I agree with the sentiments behind Tom's post, even if I don't agree with the way he's voiced his opinion. No offence intended to those who run the site, but I think it's pretty clear it's not as popular as the last two messageboards. The last thing it needs are factors that push users away. I think the puns that are popping up with more and more regularity are in danger of doing that. God knows how the site administrators deal with it, if they intend to, that is, but being critical of it shouldn't lead other posters to suggest others would be better seeking their football fix elsewhere.

lady-isobel-barnett Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Fine with me but could we also ban offensive avatars? That's just a general request as I can't think of anyone that would be that half'witted or cretinous to have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
