I propose that one of the following new boards be implemented:

(1) A News & Views board where current events, politics, philosophy etc etc etc can be discussed

(2) A board where all these polls, social dramas and "Don't read this" type threads can be isolated.

Anyone with me?

Sbaggers.

Absolutely.
The Forum is being run by 15 year olds who act like 5 year olds.

Perhaps you should also put your original post in the Suggestions Board.
 
There's too many board as it is, takes ages to scan the ones that interest me. There should be a "general sports" board, where all sports except Footy are discussed, this would eliminate the need for a cricket or soccer or wrestling or whatever board, which are rarely used anyway.
 
remeber the good old days when we talked about how much it cost to get in the mcg and the 'When i was a lad topics'. It still brings a tear to my eye!

You know if you posted as a consistent one username, not be too over the top on Collingwood you could be known as one of the best posters on the Forum. You certainly know your footy and can express it.

1. I am the king of the soccer board, we can't get rid of that.

2. I know there are too many boards as it is, but I think regulars are sick of seeing the General Board filled with rubbish. I believe in free speech though, I don't think anyone should be scrutinising how amusing or interesting a thread is, just isolate these types of threads somewhere else.

thats a great idea!

i think people should concentrate on subjects such as who was the best full forward in 44 and a whole lot of other thought provoking subjects!

I agree and would like more boards. Cetainly a political board would be good as an election is on the way and a Trivia board is a good idea too. I'd love a philosophy board but I doubt many would post.

Bigfooty has developed into a multi subject site. If that was the plan, and I think it is a good plan, then more boards is a way forward. If not then perhaps all boards should go other than the team boards and AFL with moderators deleting all posts not about footy.
 
Alright, I've been here long enough to have my say now, so let's burn a few bridges ...

My personal view is that those "Don't post here", "Don't read this" threads are the most peurile, pointless and pathetic pieces of work on BigFooty, contrived by individuals suffering a rare form of AIDS (Attention on the Internet Deficiency Syndrome), and contributed to by people who think the number in your post count is more important than the content of those posts. That said, I won't go into one and say as much, because that just multiplies the problem by increasing the length of the thread and giving the anal-retentive types posting in there the opportunity to have some more posts telling me to lighten up, p|ss off or whatever.

My view? If it says "Don't read me", I don't.

I don't think we need any more boards - what we do need to do is exercise a little bit of discretion in our posting. Again, my personal view is that if a thread is started by a BigFooty denizen whom I don't like/rate/bother with/take any notice of/whatever, then I don't read it. Then it doesn't p|ss me off, then I don't reply, then they don't bait me back, blah blah blah.

There's a lot of people here, and it's human nature that you won't like all of them. So ignore them.

I think that you can judge a poster and their content very quickly - the nature of the beast is revealed very early in their "careers", and my adage is "once an idiot, always an idiot". So if someone comes in trying to get 100 posts in a day just for the sake of it, or creates a pile of useless polls, or is generally abusive, rude or plain stupid without provocation, then it's a fair bet that I won't bother with them.

I guess my point is that there are dozens of excellent contributors to these forums, and just as many shockers. It's not up for me to say who is and isn't in those categories - they are very much personal preference (I'm sure just as many have me in the latter category as in the former), but what we should do is not waste our time and energy getting upset by, replying to and arguing with the goons that upset us. Just ignore them and enjoy your BigFooty experience with posters you can get along with, rather than get some grey hairs over some 14 year old getting their kicks upsetting people they don't know.

Anyway, end of DCFC's ramble - I think I made sense :)
