Reminder about how to behave on here (5 Viewers)

[Nick]

1. Racism won't be tolerated, some of the posts over the last few days have been nothing other than disgusting.
2. It's a football forum, if people want to play silly games and bicker about politics then this may not be the best forum for it.
3. Avatars, people will be getting a message to change them or lose the ability to have them. As number 2, it's a football forum. If you want to put up an Avatar just to get a reaction then you won't have one.
4. The reporting function on here really isn't the best, they don't show up when using the phone or Tapatalk so sometimes they don't get seen or get lost amongst everything out. If you spot something then feel free to drop a PM to get it looked at as quickly as possible. (This isn't for petty bickering).

Good to see. I love the political debate here for its range of views, but can do without the racism.

Debate in Off Topic is fine. The whole "Left Wing / Right Wing" nonsense in every other thread is tiring and not needed.

This. As Shmeee mentioned, there's a place for a political debate on this forum. Every thread relating to a new signing/award vote/boat to Charlton diverting to political point scoring is boring. Plus, those of us who don't bother with the endless political threads miss out on loads of context and I'm getting FOMO.

The main change is it’s become more of a twitter style of behaviour - it actually started on the football threads before the politics element took off

Well said, Nick. I agree with all that.

Thanks again Nick

Totally.

I have stopped engaging in so many threads that started off healthily and were very interesting, but have ended up as a slanging, left v right debate.

Pfft, snowflake...

Actually @Nick did you want to add this as a pinned thread and maybe unpin the prediction league and final run-in ones?

I do know who your avatar is but he does look like a child snatching weirdo

Just a comment I normally flick straight through the stickies - should this not be the lead for a few days ?

Yup. The next eleventy billion days or so should do it.

Don’t you bring Diane Abbott into this

I changed my avatar because Nick sent me a very nice request to do so. Yes, it may have deemed political to some, but I felt it represented a part of my family history. Anyway, I was happy to change it. :emoji_relieved:

I thought your David Gilmour impression was ok -or did I miss one

I always view threads by "new posts"

Stickies don't show up on there unless commented upon.

That was a couple of avatars ago McB! My last one was my tribute to Michael Collins.

Ooh I know the answer. Is it “not like a massive bell end”!
