Media Faceless Men Should Scrap Bottom 10

[okeydoke7]

Opinion - Okeydoke7​

Well, it's been the talk of the SFA recently. The "super group" of powerful posters, one from each club, have been formed. Lead by IMS, this group has banded together to nut out the top 10 and bottom 10 posters each week. If they want the idea to be successful, they need to correct themselves immediately.

The Bottom 10 List is a way for the faceless men to get their opinions across. There are some posters in the almighty super group that have opinions that they are too gutless to share. Maybe, it is a case of a few of these posters caring a little too much about their reputations. This is the perfect way for this group of respected posters to portray their negative thoughts, without having to own up to them.

I would like to say, that I respect the 8 posters chosen in this powerful group. I honestly value their opinions, and genuinely enjoy the concept of the Top Ten List each week. My position in this list may be under threat, as I honestly believe that their Bottom 10 List is cowardly, and to the detriment of the league.

The argument that being named on the list "will help you get better" is an absolute farce. MannumPower's style is highly active and light hearted. He had one of his best weeks IMO, and was named on the bottom 10 list for spamming. Same with a few others. HurleyGun will be named every single week, yet I feel that he has been quite constructive this week and was very helpful in posting the matches. Juggs will struggle to fall from number one, but at least he has the guts to say what he thinks. Is he a worse poster than some unknown from the Bombers who posts once a week? Absolutely not, he has his style, he says what he thinks and he generates activity.

The fact is, if any of the above commit acts of floggery, why don't the super group have the balls to call them out on it at the time? Make your point known, don't try to keep your reputation intact. For many of the super group, this is one of the few times they will make their negative opinions known. And they do it hiding behind a group, so nobody will know what they truly think.

The Top Ten list works, because it encourages the posters who have done well in the past week in the eyes of well respected posters. The Bottom Ten list does not. Why would we want to discourage posters? The claim that it can help make posters better...Are you trying to create a breed of robotic, vanilla posters? Do we really need an SFA full of ClarkeM clones?

Of course, they would have known that it would be controversial. And they would have known the activity and whinges that it could attract. What they did not see coming, was the damage that it would actually do to their own reputations. Because they are now saying the things they don't have the guts to say themselves. It's not the reputations of the Bottom 10 that take a hit. It is that of the faceless men who are to afraid to express negative opinions by themselves.

Rubbish thread. The melt downs are hilarious. You're just pissed you're not part of the super group.

Although I don't agree with even being on that list I still like it. I do think that they should give a summary as to why the poster is on that instead of doing it in private.

Everyone of those on that list can do better or even worse. But in the end who really cares?

Some may take it to heart and some will wear it as a badge of pride. And I tell you this it has created some fair lulz.

How you're not number one has me stuffed.

I think it's because Itsmyshow hates Juggalo Balla so much.

Flawed thread is flawed.

I like the list but agree that it is gutless and cowardly to not openly admit what us flog posters are doing wrong. Maybe this faceless powergroup could come up with an SFA posting etiquette so we can see the supposed do's and don'ts of posting. If anything this bottom list simply serves as a way of alienating posters in the league. This list acts as a detriment to activity, people will start posting less (those that are insecure) if they think they are going to be made a mockery of on a list. In all honesty I think the list is more about ego stroking than anything else. How was the power group decided on, shouldn't all members of the SFA have the right to choose a club representative? The power group just seems to be a mob of wanks all sitting in a sauna patting each other on the back while feeding each others huge heads. The list has merits but i won't be changing my style of posting, learn to live with it or put me on ignore if it's not up to your standards.

I think it will get more merit when someone on the selection panel makes it to the Bottom 10.

it's interesting because, half of the powergroup list are people i've rarely seen post, that could be me just not seeing their activity or they are even bigger ego strokers than i thought

 

[Papa Juggs]

It astounds me that people that post occasional one liners want to get high and mighty about their position in the league.

Mind boggling

Who from the group are you surprised to see there and if you were to choose one from each club for the reasons to rank the weeks thread who would you choose?

Also I can understand why posters are miffed. The group assembled are very much a good group but maybe people would be more involved if they were allowed to vote for who was in that group. One from each team.

 

[Papa Juggs]

You post too much, become a star and the jealousy gets out of control.

Still waiting for the justification (publicly) not that anybody has PM'd me.

You want to put down the most active posters in this league to make yourself feel better do it yourself and don't form some little posse.

This is why teenagers form gangs. INSECURITY!

Oh dear god no!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not saying that it's right but those that feel hard done by may feel less angry if they actually were involved in choosing this group.

Jealousy?? Are you seriously this much of a nong??? When were you ever a star??

You never sent a PM to anyone did you??

I am not sure me providing justification is going to work with this dimwit!!!

I heart you MP

 

[Papa Juggs]

It is up to you to prove I'm the worst poster here.

Not for me to prove I'm not.

Don't try to take the fact you've trolled me into biting back and twist it in your favour either. This is about last week's performance.

These people I haven't seen much of, thats not saying they aren't posting and stuff but too be honest I haven't seen alot of them from my time here this season. The only time I've seen eth is because there was a thread where everyone was tagging him other than that nothing. In my eyes there are other people who have stood out more posting wise but my ideals on a good poster are probably completely different to those of you and your fellow power group. If each club voted on a representative that would be better and highly likely this same power group may occur, i'm just against anything autocratic which is what you guys are doing, you're basically saying you are better than us and then telling us why, way to make people feel good.

 

[Papa Juggs]

Picking on active posters was the wrong way to go.

If IMS thinks he isn't doing himself damage here he is delusional.

Those that have joined this crew have also damaged their own reputation.

I really don't think there would be this much of an issue if everyone had turned up to pantskyle party. Clearly the power group are upset because they missed out on all the shenanigans we had.
