The deterioration of Blue Moon

loffers said:
The place is too big and the age differential is too great, what us 40 year old deem unacceptable is perfectly natural to the teens and 20 something's on here.

Rule of thumb , be polite.
IMO this isn't the best city forum anymore

Only 10 years to go then youll get a SAGA brochure in the post.. ;)
 
It's happened over years not months, the board was self moderated with little bother when it was small. It's simple, as numbers have increased it has gradually got worse for abuse.

My suggestions, either grow a thicker skin or join one of the smaller more friendly forums.
 
I agree in someways. Anyone that has a objective opinion often gets accused of being a "rag" . It spoils the forum when someone is accused of that every 5 minutes.

City fans have always hated United for the arrogance and belittling other teams/rivals, but that's kind of what's happening with some posters here.

Hate threads about Everton and Spurs every week is a bit pointless too

Sorry sweep but had to edit for you.
 
Am I the only one that remember that the RAG insult is actually tongue in cheek, and a sort of initiation for new members?

I suppose if people replied to the topic rather than replying to the poster who started it, that would be a good place to start improving. After all, this thread is now largely one which is being used to snipe at Dave...rather than actually discussing whether he may have had a point...

...nevermind that there's been a bunch of people who agree with him...guess they all must be attention seekers...

Ah I don't even know where to start. It's actually posts like this, trying to make people believe something that quite frankly isn't there, that were this issue before you went onyour 'sabatical' that was bringing tge "quality" of the board down.

Discussion dropped because" if you didn't agree with you or Dave you were stupid" - whether that was intentional or not is irrevelent, a lot of posters felt the same way, that IMO was a major contributor to new posters feeling alienated and other posters not posting in discussion threads : because they couldn't be arsed with others telling them they were wrong if they didn't conform.

The majority of this thread is discussing the topic a minority have touched on Dave (and hopefully your) posts in recent times as you two have been the major cause of issue recently.
