Ok, cool, but unless you're going to read through every discussion in every thread to read the same poster doing the same crap, he'll carry on doing the only thing he does.

It's your forum, your rules. We'll shut up and post.

Make me a mod and i'd sort this place out.

I think grassers should receive an instant infraction.

Trying to get somebody banned or silenced is the lowest of the low.

We would also need an upper limit incase Vicky tries to make another 30,000 word post.

Like Slim said earlier nearly all the members would be banned more often than not.

I think it’s a difficult one, I kinda think ‘a peaceful’ forum isn’t achievable, trolling is always gonna happen, when people (and it isn’t exclusive to one side either) are saying things to get a rise from each other, it starts a domino effect.

There are plenty of posts that are posted on here (the majority of them being removed) that are offensive, but I truly believe the majority are to cause a rift rather than genuinely believing what they post, there’s a huge difference between a genuine transphobic/racist/homophobic/sexist arsehole and someone who has different opinions on a forum, but unfortunately when you are portraying the first one, that is how you are judged (and as I said, this definitely isn’t one sided at all, I’ve said **** I shouldn’t have said, but you live and learn) and eventually comes a time when people can’t be bothered with said forum and dealing with it.

I’ve criticised the admin team a few times, but reevaluating the situation, it is difficult finding a balance, cos bans being handed out on either side of the forum is gonna cause ****, so there really is no right way of dealing with it where everyone is happy, and there’s never gonna be.

Others have found places where they can go and discuss the stuff they want to discuss with the people they want to discuss it with and feel more comfortable around, and that’s great.

(And I fully believe this post is just waffle and will make no sense, but I did have a point... I think?)

I detest the ignore function. I don't put anyone on ignore even assholes.

In a Katie Hopkins thread, she would receive as much negative criticism as Meghan, but her threads don't go on for days and days. Why is that?

Work that one out and you might get closer to the root cause.

Because nobody would defend Katie whereas Meghan is very loved.

So in other words, people who agree with Katie Hopkins just allow other members to negatively criticise her, whereas people who agree with Meghan don't allow people to negatively criticise her?

Maybe that's where the root of the problem lays?

I'm just brainstorming.

No i meant Katie is nowhere near as loved as Meghan therefore only a few would defend Katie. Hence why Meghan threads go on so long. She's marmite but has a lot of love.
