A child friendly board ?

[Prodigal Son]

Slighty unfair Tone ..we all do "Police" the board but allow freedom of speech. A few posts you perhaps don't see are removed, some instantly.
We do not tolerate abuse to other members but trust those that post on here to have the sense when to draw the line. The Pub is like a normal pub, I don't think anything gets to the stage of Porno, we don't even allow topless pictures.

Take a chill Pill.

To chip in I was really quite disappointed that SUFC fans have decided to debate the use of the C word, and a thread started by a lady aswell!

SZ is a great distraction for those of us sat in front of a keyboard for large chunks of the day, but I am really quite shocked that this is the best sort of thread we can come up with.

I really thought we were better than that.Never been an ORM fan (mainly due to persistent Freddy bashing and condoning his Spurs supporting thug friend) but do think he has a point.

I think the site has gone down hill very quickly recently,the battle of stuff is clogging the pub section. As True Blue says , we know where the door is if we don't like it,but wanted to make my point. Clearly, I am not keeping up with the times, and quite glad that I am not.

 

[MK Shrimper]

Sorry, but that is total rubbish. The BOTB and Shrimperzone Totty have been great fun....

Instead of moaning, why not start your own threads?

Only because people are not posting other threads in there..it has been good fun ...

Apologies for having an opinion, but Mr. Democracy stamps on someone else for having a view different to his own. Hypocrite.

I'm guessing in this case, P_S might mean how people are starting their own other threads to try & galvanise support when they need extra votes, to be honest I hold up my hands & admit I was probably the first to do this.

Maybe, this should be one of the rules of being a sponsor in a "Battle of" thread? No extra threads started, if you want to argue your case, do it in the actual voting one!

How am I a hypocrite? Like I said, start a thread of your own if you don't like what you see. :thump:

I click into the pub section occassionally, the battle stuff has momentum but is not for me, maybe there are others who feel the same. I went to follow up on a thread and it had disappeared onto well down the second page, so I think it is taking people away from debate as the second page is not a natural place to go. If it's going to be so popular maybe give it it's own section ?

You are absolutely right, I'll head for the exit.

I never said leave. Cricko, McNasty etc, want as many members as possible. This is the No.1 independent Southend United supporters website (and they don't even pay me!).... stay and contribute....the more the merrier.....

In the interests of keeping everybody happy I will delete the threads that no longer count ...

What about the other issue of "alter-egos" who've recently "registered" as new members........? ? ? :p

For a start you can pipe down, thats a sexist remark. So what, just because I am female I have less right to use the word than you or any male does?!

It was a laugh, a bit of a joke something to lighten the afternoon and given that it went on for about 5 or 6 pages, it mustve been of slight interest to some people. Despite it being about a swear word it is actually a word that causes a lot of controversy from day to day and while the thread was initially supposed to be more for a laugh, I was also interested to see peoples opinion on the use of it.

I have no problem with you expressing your opinion on here but, as you said yourself, "you know where the door is" if you dont like what you read.

If someone submits a thread on here that I dont like or am not interested in I either a) dont bother posting at all, or b) put my views across about the subject, but I dont go into a thread that I am against and moan about it. To be perfectly honest, the whole BOTB thing and shrimperzone totty thing annoyed me first of all as it clogged the pub up but I thought hey, everyone else seems to be enjoying it so who am I to complain, after all its a board for everyone, not just me. Then I thought if I cant beat them, I'll join them and then proceeded to comment on said ladies myself!

If you think the site has gone downhill then why are you still here? Why dont you roll down the hill with it? Sorry if this sounds harsh but the first paragraph of your post offended me.

 

[Southminster_Shrimper]

Bitterness is rife on these boards....

(amongst the jamsters)

 

[Bielzibubz]

Personally I like the BOTB and totty threads andd surely the only reason other threads appear to drop to page two is because nobody is contributing to them. Is it really that much of a strain to do a little search or click page two to find the one you want?

Also, if you don't like the content of a thread then DON'T READ THE BLOODY THING! It really is that simple.

 

[Uncle Leo]

It's tough to get the balance right. Through moderating we try to please most of the people most of the time, but with such a diverse range of members, there are always going to be a small number of people put off by certain threads.

The simple advice is to ignore threads you find offensive or aren't interested in, but do let the moderators know if you think something is beyond the pale. What we want is a site that all Southend fans want to visit and we'll continue to work hard to make sure this is the case.

Actually that was one of the great bits last night ...really made me laugh...and NO I wasnt one of them.
