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!

This is a very good point - I think the Tolmie-fawning turned a fair few stomachs, if I'm honest. Everyone on the inside seems to adore him, whereas for those of us who 'don't get it', we would try to understand the basis for the adulation.

And couldn't, frankly - there was nothing of actual substance, and it didn't really look very good when compared to the likes of Pollerz and BillyShears (who have both recently posted good, straightforward info, with minimum fanfare).

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.

I've gotta agree with Bill. I'm one such poster.

I used to be on here all the time. I hardly ever post anymore due to it descending in to farce and witch hunts.

Really can't be arsed with it.

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?

we also are disliked by many now because of our new found wealth so jealous non city fans with agendas are bound to join our ranks covertly...this is why we have the 100 post rule...Not all new posters are sweetness and light.

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.

[coms64]

400 and something pages........wow.

Now with out doing a proper check ( sorry but cant be arsed) the percentage must be very high that there is a dispute or petty name calling of some description on any one of these wonderful 400 plus pages.

So Mr Ric, you have 8 very good and very well used sections, and for those that don’t know cause you are always on here mud slinging or something, here they are.

Bluemoon Forum
Transfer Forum (obvious I know but only doing the list).
Match day Forum.
Off Topic.
Fantasy Football 2010/11.
Classic Threads. (of which this will never be one)
Ticket and Travel Exchange.
Technical queries.

How about a 9th section?
And let it be called ‘’Anyone up for a petty internet argument about feckall’’ Forum.

But what do i know :) I only have yadayada post :).

I really do hope Balotelli signs caause this guy will give any defence in the prem trouble.

time to get tough with these itk hounders, if tolm has took the hump who can blame him, razorh comes on here and starts pecking his head from his first post almost.i'll not be so lenient next time.

I asked questions, I never abused the lad.

And you're damn right I started pecking my head in from the first post, because I wanted to know what was going on.

At the rate the lad has been posting youtube vids and giving info, I doubt he's going to hide because I asked a few questions.

Now you're telling me you should have banned me for questioning him.

Do you actually realise how ridiculous that is?

Stand on a stage and ask everyone to clap and nobody to criticise - is that how it works?

The lad is well capable of talking for himself as he has done.

Stop trying to blame RazorH because you haven't unlocked our latest transfer story.

Close the door on your way out Bill.

RazorH, you have NO RIGHT to question someone like TH. None at all. With all of the ITK transfer knowledge that he has got right, you are not fit to even look at his posts, nevermind question them.

I think that's the message, anyway..........

 

[Ka-Car]

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..

This wasn't posted in support of razorH or any individual, it's just an observation that since I have been watching this forum that some "long term posters" don't take kindly to "newbies" posting comments of any kind, It isn't a very welcoming place.
