Discussion The Parlous State of SFA Match Threads.

[GWS Goose]

Also, ever thought theres tumbleweeds come Friday because people actually have lives?

huge if true

 

[GWS Goose]

It’s a fantasy football league— not a real life meet up.

“Coming together, enjoying a few drinks and unwinding” sounds like something you should do with your real life friends & family— not on a text based online community.

I hate when people bring their real life into the SFA.

I have an amazing life, hence am happy to bring that to the SFA.

One fix for mine would be the removal of anyone unable to correctly use apostrophes. We need grown-ups that are capable of proper grammar.

What if Im able, but dont?

Agree with those who are bored with interminable beer discussions. The Club Room has a Friday Night beer thread that is a good innovation. It should absorb some of the slops.

Most of the threads I read are healthy. There are heaps of posting styles, some genuinely funny interchanges and quizzes.

Those who recruited children on their lists have paid the penalty. My answer is to delist them and to find adults or just run a list with a vacancy or two. Every team should refuse to recruit Pickitt ImissFrosty

Who hurt you horace

I 100 percent agree with Tony Lynn 15 on this. The match threads have become no better than facestation and instafame.
I blame the “new breed” of overly sensitive, woke, whining, fragile cry babies, and the influence they’ve had on moderating.

The Bombers have been doing the same work we’ve done for ten seasons. Same aggressive style, same pushing of boundaries, same antagonistic approach.
However, it’s only been the last couple of seasons where we had times that fielding a side was touch and go due to all the suspensions.

I joined the SFA to banter brutally and ferociously. To mirror real footy, where it’s kill or be killed, and then the siren sounds and everyone shakes hands.

The BRAB vs TheCoach16 battles, and others similar to those rivalries were harsh, cruel even. But boy did generate excitement and activity, and incredible match threads.

It’s gone now, because the slightest hint of someone’s feelings being hurt results in suspension.
You don’t have to like something for it to become your “normal”, and unfortunately, boring, dull, and impotent posting has become our normal.

Go to any page on this thread and tell me it doesn't read exactly like our modern day match threads do.

This thread was necessary back then as grovelling over female posters and pretending to drink alcohol was banned from Match threads.

Once Ant Bear became admin, uncle Tony's house moved in to prime time and the rest is history.

Uncle Tony’s House - Grand re opening for S25!

There has been a lot of change in the SFA of late and as I enter my second season I have been taking the temperature of the room. I feel there is a need for some change. If you are tired of the same old posters and media threads and feel left out, then this is the place for you. Welcome to...

What rubbish

We mod by the site rules, not soley by what others report/complain about. Smut and discriminatory banter has ALWAYS been against site rules. If you think that homophobic, racist, sexist banter should be ok, that is on you and no one else.

No one has ever been banned for aggressive banter as long as it doesn't cross a line.

Also, the revisionist history with BRAB is hilarious. From memory, you used to sook and wine about him constantly. Spare us the faux tough guy routine.

Careful, Banhammer still has a cell with your name on it

I got a whole wall last time i went

If you read the discussion between TL15 and I, it's not about when in the week people are capable of posting quality banter ( I for one think banter is better earlier in the week and straight up mediocre on Friday & Saturdays), it's the length of a match thread.

We don't need 5-6 days in a match thread with another team, it gets drawn out and there's nothing new to add.

A 4 day match thread would be sufficient and more enjoyable in my opinion.

However-- unlike TL15, I think match threads should start at the same time and end on Friday afternoons/evenings.

You are incapable of reading and comprehending. We currently finish a match thread on a Sunday night only for the next one to start the very next day. There is no time for it to breathe. No time for some banter in the results thread or for media. Posters start off like a steam train yet come Friday and Saturday there are tumbleweeds.

Far too smart for our exalted leader.

I suggested this to NaturalDisaster about two seasons back. Apparently I never offer any suggestions!

Mate, I got enough melts trying to enforce Tuesday morning match threads. Imagine if I made them Wednesday/Thursday?

I’d tell you exactly how you mod, but I’d hate to hurt your feelings.

I watch replays of Judge Judy at night, you has been.








I’m sorry. I’m really sorry. Don’t hate me, beez .

Did you know that all that s**t is actually legally binding and the plaintiffs/defendants who go on the show get their costs covered if they lose? What a sweet ******* deal. So next time you bash in a few car windows after a 10 goal loss, just go on Judge Judy and you won't have to pay squat.

What if squat was the complainant and you lost?

Of course I know that! I’ve been watching Judge Judy since it was Legal Clerk Judy.
