The ITK protectors are the biggest problem, I agree.

People have a right to post even the most ridiculous or unlikely transfer rumours.
People have a right to respond with their opinion on the validity of these rumours.
People DO NOT have a right to tell people what they should think.

FACT.

But Mr.De Niro, people get banned, even if they are civil, simply for expressing the opinion that the transfer rumour is bull**** or that in their opinion the ITKer is not ITK.

Which leaves people, such as myself, tending to think that the entire reason that the ITKers are protected in this way is to protect the site traffic.

You are free to register your opinion on any topic. The problem is not someone coming into a thread and saying I think this rumour is bullshit. No one has ever been banned for this as far as I know. The problem is when a poster comes on a thread and proceeds to relentlessly attack and hound another poster over the veracity of the info they have posted. This is unacceptable both because it destroys the thread for everyone else and because it leads to posters feeling that they can't post any info that they hear. Remember this is the transfer forum, we are here to read the latest RUMOURS about who we might sign and not a bloody lecture on epistemology!

If you think a rumour is bullshit go ahead and say so but then piss off and leave the thread to those who actually want to discuss it.

I have no problem with any of it. It's all great entertainment and I take every rumour and ITK with a shovel of salt... they are so rarely correct, it's the only decent thing to do!

But the one thing that grieves me is the way the mob respond to various ITKers... some are lauded and held in great esteem... others are abused and ran off the borard... often by the very same people!

It seems that you have to pick your Messiah, and then defend them to the death... and any usurper or infidel trying to pretend to be the new Messiah is stoned to death for blasphemy!

Treat ALL ITKers the same... that's what the mods should ensure. A level playing field for all rather than favouritism for any one above all the others.

There is no dishonour in questioning, we don't all live by faith alone.

great theory mate not in my eyes, of course the gaffer wants the site to be busy but when he started it was born out of common interest in the blues, its was very slow back then.
dont know of anyone being banned whilst being civil, i may have missed something but i dont think so.

i do know that a lot of top top posters have been put off bluemoon at times due to the bickering, its just not nessessery, some of these posters never return, that can't be right.one thing for certain the admin and mods dont take our numbers for granted, we have to keep this place fair and friendly, i think this is easily the best city forum and i for one want to keep it that way.

 

[samharris]

Is this meant to be an open forum for all City fans to have their say or is it only intended for use by ITK's, ITK supporters or those with a high number of post who believe this gives them them right to slag off all new comers who dare to question anything? Everyone was new at some point!!

Top post !

whats top about that ??

razorH was on to cause a fuss nowt else...long term posters saw it and gave him grief..tit for tat..

 

[FinallyGamble]

Ah right. Sorry i was not aware that the post was reguarding Razor. I was merely just looking at the everyone was a newcomer once and we have just as much right to post. I only just joined Bluemoon as i am on a different city forum and have been for a while now. Apologies. Come back TH :)

[JoeMercer'sWay]

How about a private section of the forum for respected members of the forum to post in privacy? or a private thread for Tolmie that people request access to?

Not saying he's the be all and end all but it would ease the problem imo.

 

[banbury_blue]

I'm not along standing member of this forum, I don't have a high number of posts, and I'm so far from being an ITK its not even funny (I would at least like to know 1 person that even became semi professional let alone a proper footballers) but I think I have enough common sense to realise that you don't just come in all guns blazing accusing people, that obviously are well respected (whether you believe it or not) of being this, that or the other.

I respect the people that post on here, if I don't believe what they are posting then so be it, it still makes good viewing, it never even enters my head to try and send a thread into a bickering argument over if someones infomation is true or not.

A question for the older members of the forum thou, was there this much bickering, back biting and general feelings of anger towards other posters when we were chasing after the likes of Samaras, Mpenza etc? Or is it just down to the fact that because we are living the dream, becoming the world force in football that we never thought would happen, that people are now just so over the top in their expectations?
