Gejon 2 Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Can I be the first to say I quite like Dave Most people who aren't complete dickheads do tbh. He has a bit of a shit job as do most admin/mods on the internet do but its only really those who feel the need to break certain rules that ever have a problem with them. Some forums have different rules to others but they are more often than not easy to view and its really not that hard to stick to them. Their rules are nazi like though. If you do this we're taking our ball and not coming back. I could understand it if they were getting called paedo's or personal info was released, but as I've said before it gives people that little bit of power. Good for them. Do you think the rules are better on here or NO Jon? There's no rules on here apart from don't be racist and be nice to people. They should be the basis of any board, additional rules complicate things. I mean getting banned for calling people cunts. Daft tbh The rules have never been a problem on either forum for me tbh. I can see why they are there though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

U_V 0 Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Dave's one of the few people on there who's open to changing their opinion, and when he does he'll usually admit it and say he was wrong. Most either never change their opinion even when faced with the most overwhelming evidence of being wrong, or just change their argument and then deny ever having any other view. You can't blame Dave specifically for the bannings either, it's the whiny little complainers who rarely contribute any opinion of their own unless they're commenting on Nile Ranger's facebook page, but pop into threads started to discuss particular topics just to say how bored they are of other people discussing those topics, and the mods as a collective who take the easy option and ban a few scapegoats to appease them. I'd ban the people who complain myself, as they'd obviously be happier posting elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were obviously on the "right" side of the argument to avoid the formal warnings for lowering the level of debate on there then. I think that warning was sent out to the people who spent all their time arguing about the same thing, in numerous threads. These people were on both sides of the argument, as I didn't do that I didn't receive said warning. Thanks for your time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeazesMag 0 Posted July 15, 2009 Author Share Posted July 15, 2009 Leazes, this is getting tiresome beyond words. Yes, you've got a problem with Dave and his unwillingness to get into a discussion with you. Why can't you act like the grown up you claim to be and accept the fact he does not want to speak to you. The fact that you constantly throw insults st him from behind your OWN computer makes you look like a huffy child and on more than one occasion in this thread people have stated that they are heartily sick of it. Your Newcastle views can be aired to your hearts content in the appropriate threads but for your own sake please stop creating threads in order to insult other members or they will be locked on the grounds of consistent abuse. childish ? Yes you are, now please will you leave it alone. as you said Cath, hissy sulks = for women and wimps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its quite appropriate to tell him I think he's a prick for that, in my view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would also ban the complainers because everyone has a right to discuss what they like. There is so many thread on NO there is enough for everybody to take and leave what they choose.

Zulu 0 Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 When I try to view the link it says "Sorry Bolton Zulu, you are banned from this forum. Fuck off." Whilst I find that a trifle harsh I do admire their candid approach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
