That's something else too...it's great to vent your frustrations on a passing idiot when Stanley have lost! Idiots are useful!

The third option that is missing is - Everybody should stick to the forum rules/General forum etiquette

Well said Restless one...

Perhaps it's the influence of the current plague in Ossy, but for some reason "The Lord of the Flies" comes to mind

So taking the mickey out of the occasional idiot who pitches up on this forum is comparable to killing someone? Don't be so melodramatic!

Its dead easy to see how the P.C. brigade started.!!

Deary, deary me, I see someone with a sense of mischief has been at the poll.

No, it's just the regression to ganging up on someone perceived as weaker or different.

I was always the one who tried to keep the peace in the playground at school

Those doing the ganging up often like to complain when they find their posts deleted or infractions given and think they are the persecuted ones

All this because of a mild rebuke in the "Who Would You Vote For?" thread.

well the other idiots should know.

Restless · 05-08-2012, 08:53

I don't think it was melodramatic, perhaps a bit harsh. Most forums this kind of thread would have been deleted by now.

And it goes to show that careful choice of admin/moderators works, as the undesirables soon get banned. It is not because "the click" (spelt purposefully for comedic effect) wanted them gone(or kestrelx would be banned instead of lasting as long as most here), but because rules are broken and are enforced fairly.

This is the way all forums should be.

Its often been said that new members don't stick around much because they get stick if they come on spouting pure dross, there's a hell of a lot more sites wish they had a 10th of the daily contribution this site gets, in fact out of the 4 local sites Burnley is now like the dodo Rossendale is close, Blackburn is picking up slightly, yet Accy keeps going on and on and on, funny old world ain't it

I don't think this thread is really about new members, more about a comment in the "Who Would You Vote Thread?", which seems to have put a few noses out of joint.

The thread starter was a new old member

Look, it boils down to this - I'm going to go on taking the mickey out of any out-and-out idiot who turns up on here (and they're quite welcome to respond in kind - I won't lose any sleep over it). I can't speak for them, but I'm pretty sure that Cashy, Jaysay, Garinda, Less and the rest of the "click" or "gang" as Mobertol likes to view us

, is going to, as well. The only people who can decide what should or shouldn't happen on here are the moderators (who generally enforce the rules quite fairly as Restless rightly says). As Jaysay points out, it doesn't seem to do Accyweb much harm, as we're far and away the most popular, lively local forum around here!
