You go out for the day and all hell breaks loose (4 Viewers)

I would say someone is more likely to be obsessive when they resurrect an old account with the specific intention of attacking the main moderator and anyone you associate with him.

Are your three accounts representing the 3 split personalities you have?

In fairness, that's sorted. There aren't three accounts now!

I love the Pet Shop Boys and if that means I’m open to accusations of being gay by certain posters then so be it

Me too what have I done to deserve this? It's a sin, although if I'm always on their mind and living rent free in surbibia with my west terrace girls I'll be ok. Also you have an impenetrable ring of steel.

What the fuck has happened here today? I’ve been out for a nice walk around Rotterdam all day and done a couple of good deeds, and have come back to all the threads locked with a message from Nick telling me to go out have a nice walk and do good deeds.

I've just got to pop to Tesco.

It's only 60 metres from my door, so I should only be around 6-7 mins tops.

How bad do you envisage things being on here when I get back?

Grendull walks a fine line on racism in much the same way as Ferage, doesn’t specifically say anything racist but suggests enough to light the touch paper. Let’s face it, the overtly racist poster swoon over him, he’s like the racists sweetheart, Dame Vera one too many gins. Wouldn’t even say if something overtly racist posted was racist because he didn’t know if it met the legal definition of racism for instance. What a crock of shit, he’s a grown man, allegedly, old enough to know the difference between racism and not racism. When racist are lining up to like and put laughing emojis against your posts while putting turd emojis against the posts of someone like NW it’s probably time to sit down and have a long hard think about your values.

Tonester the only person whose ever defended Farage against charges of racism is erm…you

 

[SkyBlueCharlie9]

That's incorrect though, isn't it?

I honestly don't know Nick. Has there been some nasty deliberately false information stories posted by people on here with more left wing views ?

Funnily enough yes, you listing random people as racist was one.

I do think that something needs to be done about how personal things can get on here sometimes. A lot of threads get derailed ok both sides of the forum by petty personal arguments (not saying that I myself are exempt from that in anyway either!) and it is definitely making this place a less enjoyable forum to be a part of.

Other forums I’ve posted on have handed out short term bans for repeat infractions, is that not something that could be done here? I don’t really want to see longer term bans handed out to posters on here but maybe 3 day, 1 week, 2 weeks bans etc. might help discourage some of the behaviour we’ve been seeing on here recently?

Good suggestion. Will have a look into that

Yeah, I agree with that. A 24 or 48 hr ban maybe so people can cool off a little.

Like it - a yellow card next to their avatar. Would be seen as a badge of honour as to how many we can collect before getting a red. 5 before November for a 1 week, 10 before March for 2 weeks

Or maybe, to really drum it home, maybe ban someone who is posting something half way through their senten

lol- you’re wasting your time

Can I add that there has been a lot of discussion and passions running high on SBT over the last 7-10 days. I have made it a bit of a mission to call out racism etc. and have zero tolerance. There has been quite a lot of that from certain posters some blatant some quite subtle /disguised. If I have referred to anyone of displaying strong RW views or racist tendencies when that is blatantly not the case then I would deeply apologise wholeheartedly. I will 100% fact check before I ever do that again.

I actually do like the spectrum of sometimes edgy opinions on here where based on evidence and fact rather than misinformation... thereby lies the problem and why people get a bit frustrated at times. I will reset my mindset and try and be a bit more chilled on anything that's not extreme.

Everyone stressed out for the last two weeks of the season because Grendel has picked up 14 yellow cards and might miss the first three match threads of the next season if he’s not careful.

 

[skybluetony176]

Aye, he also thinks it's okay to call someone like SB a "taig" as he told me when ADM started using that offensive and racist slur that he doesn't see that as offensive.

As a Protestant of Northern Irish heritage I can confirm that is a racial slur. The don’t believe that for one moment that he doesn’t understand that having seen him use it as the context is always done to insult.

Will we have a VAR assessor to run things back and confirm if an infraction actually took place on a certain post

 

[Sick Boy]

He’ll never admit it but @Grendel is likely a self -loathing west Brit.

 

[Jamesimus]

Glad you’re both moving on and apologising. I like both your posts, and even though I’m pretty sure I disagree with @Grendel on everything, they are often funny (usually by accident).

Didn’t one catholic poster accuse you of racist slurs directed at him? That’s not even including the monkey boy insults aimed at Sick Boy.

Can’t see the moderator going for this - he’d end up picking up a suspension very early on in the season.

My grandparents are from Coleraine . Both protestants . I know exactly what it means .
O'Day supports the IRA soni couldn't care less.

Did you really need to slip the S in there, in "west?"

 

[Ring Of Steel]

It seems fair game to share racist videos from openly racist Twitter accounts these days. Other posters have been banned for less.

In amongst all this I would just respectfully highlight this post as what I personally see as the biggest issue- whatever about bickering, I don’t think any racist stuff should be allowed, there should be some kind of line which nobody can cross, no matter what side of things you’re on.

Yeah I echo this. I think sharing a video from a racist twitter account or something similar shouldn’t be allowed as anyone can click on the content without knowing and immediately see images and posts which are horrific.

I can’t remember who did this in the original thread, pretty sure it was a generally decent poster that did it by accident - was more just their intention to show the video.

Personally both on here and IRL I’ve found it more productive to assume people aren’t some online cartoon figure that need chastising or exorcising from polite society and engage on their terms.

Someone once said take Trump seriously but not literally and that makes sense to me. The exact words and phrases used matter less than the underlying frustration. We all say stupid shit when we’re frustrated. Sometimes you get down to it and what’s at the bottom is literally just “I hate black people”, but that’s very rare IME.

I’m so ginger that when Irish people asked me where I was from last year and I replied ‘Coventry’, they said ‘where in Ireland is that?’. Maybe I’m one without realising
