Message Board

[Ryan.c]

I've just E:mailed Pers (the moderator) about the possibility of making this board a registered users one only, IE stop anonymous postings. Does anyone else agree?

Why listen to people who work so hard to hide their ID

[David Holden]

It seems to be the way of things now days, more and more boards are becoming registered only.

 

It's so sad that one or two morons can ruin it for the majority.

[GazzaBTFC]

David,

 

It isn't one or two moans. Some of the comments get personal and are not always football related.

 

Registered users only please.

 

Thanks

Sorry Guy's I'd stick with unregistered. We All know who the regular contributors are (and whose opinions we can trust to be objective / disregard with a pinch of salt).

 

Seem to recall this problem arising about a year ago too, when some people thought the forum on Simon’s site was getting too personal. Is the stage of the season we're at and discussing this again purely co-incidental or does anyone spot a trend here?

 

One other thing. Do you read and believe everything you see in your daily tabloid? I bet there are some pages you ignore as too trivial to bother with. Perhaps some of us should take the same approach to some of the threads (or postings) on our forum.

I agree something should be done - but maybe the answer is for someone to take a more active role (no offense to Per) in censoring the site and removing stupid additions, bad language and irrelevant posts. Registering is not going to remove the mindless drivel that is placed on here from time to time by Moron O'Brien and some (I repeat some) Canvey supporters etc. It is also entirely possible to register under a name that means nothing and continue it.

 

I'm not sure that this would work either, but neither will registering - unfortunately.

 

[Keon D]

Yes I think registered users only is the best option, some of the things which are said on this forum by unregistered users are sometimes quite offensive, and unecessary. Its the only way as far as I am concerned.

[David Holden]

Gareth:

 

Registering would solve the problem because you can ban registered users if they go over the top, whereas to ban an unregistered user you have to block the ISP which could easily affect other contributors.

[Simon BTFC]

It's a tough one and no mistake.....

 

My own view is that people should register anyway - if they want to take part in discussions or debate then they should at least select an identifying tag - otherwise you could be trying to debate with 3 people called "anonymous"

 

However registration won't prevent the moron minority from posting so perhaps a more pro-active moderating of the forum would be a good idea.

[Andy Walsh]

I think we need to moderate the users of this forum as there have been some offensive comments about Gary Calder and other offensive views.

 

If non registered people are making their views they could at least put their name rather than anonymous.

Just ignore them

[BTFC Norway]

My email is down because my ISP is down for good, so I haven' read the email Ryan sent me.

 

There are two things we can do to keep out unwanted posts, and that is:

 

A) make it a 100& moderated forum which means I have to read any single post before it will be posted to the forum. I'm usually online every day, but it will anyway mean that every post to the forum will be delayed, some times just with some minutes, other times maybe up to a coiuple of days.

 

Make it a registered users forum only. That will keep out all anonymous postings, as guests are allowed to post, but not reply as it is now.

 

I will start a poll to this now, with three options, where the third option is keeping things as they are now.

 

Voiting will be closed on tuesday and the change will be made ASAP afterwards.

Please use the vote option in my last post to say if you want a moderated forum or not!

[Guest]

As one of those who find it enjoyable and enlightening to browse other clubs' message boards ( always identifying myself as 'Hitchin fan') I have to say I also am appalled by some of the hateful abuse spewed out by 'anon' morons.

 

Notwithstanding that, I feel it is good, and for the most part constructive, to allow input from outside the regular fan base of your club. I have always found the BTFC message board one of the most lively and informative around, it would be a pity to spoil that. AS FOR THE MORE MORONIC ANONS' JUST IGNORE THEM.

I find it ironic that the C*nv*y board is registered users only - obviously they got fed up with the postings of some of their rabidly moronic fans such as the one above....

[Andy Walsh]

This is why we want registered users only, so we don't get idiots like this bloke on the forum. I think you'll find most clubs would prefer the Premier Division without Canvey, so that we don't have to put up with arrogant twats like this.

We are not going to take a trip to Canvey as we support our club and don't just jump on ther bandwagon when a team is doing well.

I'd love it if we beat Canvey this season and wipe the smiles off their faces. Although Aldershot winning the league will do that anyway.

You Billericay "fans" are the real idiots and will collectively be ignored when your shitty team along with it's inadequate Directors and Managerial staff fold and become a distant memory.......the Premier Division will be a better place without you plums posting your own brand of meaningless opinion week in week out - you lot are utterly pathetic - take a trip down to Canvey and live a little - it's all doom and gloom at New Lodge anyway -

ps- your Manager is a fat useless [****!!****] - out the loser NOW....

pps - YES, un-registered users only - I agree - talk bollox amongst yourselves you sad plums....

 

.....and there m'lud I rest my case for registered users only!

[Matt H]

I have a sneaky suspicion that Mr. Anonymous above isn't a Canvey fan! The real Canvey fans who post on our board all have a registered profile and I know who most of them are. Mr Anonymous is a wind up merchant! Due to our past success, we've become a hated Club naturally and for a couple of seasons we had to put up with a lot of personal and sometimes racial abuse towards our fans, players and officials from the likes of 'supporters' claiming to 'follow' the likes of Billericay, Bedford, Gravesend, Farnborough, St. Albans and Grays to name a few.

 

We found out that ignoring the crap, not biting to provocation and taking a positive and sometimes comical attitude to the idiots that post usually works. They get bored when no-one bites or replies and therefore tend to get lost!

 

Just keep proper discussions going between the real 'Ricay fans and discard any nonsense posted by anyone claiming to be Anonymous. See how it goes.

 

The discussion and banter of the Canvey board by the Canvey fans is first class and although all opinions aren't agreed by everyone it is discussed appropriately, cleanly without getting abusive towards anyone associated with CIFC.

 

Try it!

Simon come on son give it some thought

Ignore the morons and they will go away to where their childish rantings do gain recognition

For certain this particular man is not a canvey fan

As for your attempts to insult the canvey support please read again the canvey contributions to your board and others

They are non-league supporters of true value as are so many from forums such as St Albans etc

Ignore them (the anons) but please do not make us ignore you
