My alerts thread is being spammed by endless alerts to a thread I have no interest in (Something about cricket). Just had 4 in 4 mins. How do I stop it? Its basically made my alerts unsuable. Tried reading my setting preferences and have no idea what to change. And do find it very odd that its...

See chief. This is the problem. The mods dont have the time to properly mod this. Its too hard. So they just dont. the easiest way is to just get rid of the lol, haha and dislike emojis. make life easier for the mods.

You wrote this argument better then me. Who actually knows if the lol is mocking you or laughing with you. Due to this confusion It fails to communicate a point making it irrelevant. If the latter you can just use the like button. If the former maybe you shouldnt say anything at all.

That would of been a fine solution but mods are banning all new topics on covid on the srp board. the biggest social issue in the world today is the question of whether we should make vaccines mandatory in society. numerous protests in our cities in recent weeks on this very topic. Tried to...

Covid is the biggest event of the 21st century and now looks like being a permanent feature of society. we need a board to discuss specific topics about covid. at the moment we have a wuhan Covid thread on the srp board which is so broad that any attempt to discuss a specific topic regarding...

Don’t ignore Other posters. Simple solution.

So does that mean nobody is there At all? apologies if that is the case. so why dont you just delete it then? Leaving it there just creates intrigue.

After the failed capitol insurrection its clear that echo bubbles of disinformation are a major problem for society. Big footy has created its own right wing echo bubble in the jordy club. This is even worse than most right wing echo bubbles in that it blocks non right wing nutters from...

Can we get access to it? i have started a number of threads there which I no longer can access. as a right winger I need relief from the constant identity politics and anti capitalist rhetoric of the SRP board? I now feel a little claustrophobic as a result of losing that safe space.

Not if they post their reasoning. Then we can understand whether they are fools or have a genuine point. If they dont have a genuine point a lot of those posters will never post because the act of posting engages reason And they will realise they have nothing. Disliking posts does not engage...

The SRP board is the best board on big footy. More changing of the mind happens there then anywhere else. More knowledge transfer than the rest of big footy combined

There are certain posters who need weeks off just from tge like and dislike buttons. i dont want them banned from conversation. I want to encourage them to engage. Can we just ban dislikes/lols when they abused but not ban the posters from the forum?

Can you ignore just lols? ps. I dont want to ignore peoples conversation. I dont believe in blocking speech.

One of the most appealing things about discussing footy on a forum, as compared to discussing it with mates at the pub, is the ability to bump old posts. To gloat when you are proven right by time and to mock in a good mannered way those who are proven to be tragically wrong. You cant do that at...

Ive recieved over a dozen lol posts today. Mostly from a certain supporter base. Im mentally struggling. Can we please please fix this issue. mental health is important.

It would be a start.

I dont discuss topics just to win an argument. I discuss them to improve my argument and in some cases learn something that changes my mind. These are actually the best parts of discussion. Learning something new or thinking about things in a perspective you havent thought about before. Dislike...

Bomberboyokay at the moment is the poster boy of this problem. Used to be a great poster but rarely reasons or engages in discussion anymore like he used to now that he has a dislike button at his fingertips.

Which is the same reason people use insults. Because they think people post really dumb stuff. You need to read some John Stuart Mill. Understand why debate is important even in response to something you think is really dumb. It reinforces why you think it is dumb, it enables you to actually...

What contract? What are talking about? There is no dislike button in a court of debate. A witness who takes a stand can not respond to a question with a dislike. As much as Donald Trump tries with twitter. There is no logic rule that can be countered by a lol.

He does but he is far from the only one. The dislike and lol buttons are friends to those who are stubborn and never want to consider an alternative view.

You get the points though? The lol button is primarily being used as an insult button that is inconsistent with big footys rules of engagement. The dislike button is ending discussions abruptly when someone doesnt have an answer. There is nothing more infuriorating then writing 4 paragraphs...

The like button was an excellent initiative but the dislike and lol buttons are prooving a bit of disaster and should be reviewed. I get the reason the dislike button was introduced. It could be argued the like button encouraged bubble thinking if you only saw how many people liked your post...

A lot of posters are lol'ing my posts. Are they laughing at me or along with me? I dont know how to respond. Am i being ridiculed and insulted or embraced? This confusion is causing me serious angst. Can we get rid of the lol button please?

The BigFooty app is awful. Can't see my alerts, horrible giant pictures on all the threads which means I can't see all the topics in a list view, I keep getting dings and pop ups every 20 seconds telling me someone has posted something even when I'm not using the app and the background is...

It's a redundant skill (except on big footy). If I'm going to learn something I will spend my time learning something useful.

Cos I'm lazy. Hmm what is Firefox and chrome?

All my posts are not being taken seriously because of my poor spelling and grammar. I have a feeling people are much more likely to completely change their opinion that they've formed over many years after reading one of my insightful posts. However the credibility of my posts in the eyes of...
