Me neither. I’d unban him. His latest iteration actually talked football. Harmless compared to that Dog in the stable bollocks or whatever it was Gynnsthetonic posted which was abhorrent

I’ve been shocked by GTT’s posts as well, I had him down as a decent poster for a long time.

Posters like Boosh definitely aren’t the problem with this place.

Anyway @shmmeee were you alone and was it anything like Liverpool or Rome?

I was not and it was not, well the water taxi was a bit like Liverpool I guess. And the graffiti and fly posting a bit like Rome (and every other European city)

I’ll be honest here. I like Off Topic because this place is a melting pot of people not drawn from a particular ideology and that’s super rare to find. Does it mean you see things you might not be comfortable with? Obviously. Does Nick generally figure stuff out OK as mod? Yeah I think so.

Like Dube always sad to see OT push a decent poster away. I appreciate not everyone likes the unfiltered cut and thrust, but I do think there’s value in it in an increasingly segregated online world.

Boosh does post about football. Being a bit of a shitposter isn’t a reason to get banned, posting racist content however really does deserve a ban.

We’re either serious about it or we’re not.

Ive not seen what’s posted today, so can’t really comment. But generally I disagree. Trolls like Grendel and Boosh who only post to disrupt threads and wind people up are far more disruptive than a racist generally when running a forum. I’m not sure what some kind of ranking helps anyway. Do we have to have a given level of annoyance and so if we lose a racist we need to bring in a low effort troll?

Like Grendel and DoD he ruins actual threads on the actual football side with constant attempts to wind people up about nothing and endless personal vendettas that should at best take place in DMs. It genuinely ruins the forum experience and stops it functioning as a forum.

I don’t want anyone banned and I’d start with DoD if anyone. Grendel at least has something in his “valuable poster” column.

Those three are the only people I’ve got on mute on here and that’s good enough for me. I just don’t see why this has to be some prisoner exchange program. Boosh would be permabanned from any forum I’ve ever been part of because of his constant attempts to evade a ban alone.

It’s not about swapping Boosh for a racist. He isn’t racist but there are accounts on here still active that have posted racist content.

Are we saying that racism matters less than shitposting?

No, not at all.

The point I was making about the videos were to disprove them based on the video contents rather than the Twitter accounts posting them. Anybody with eyes can then read it and make a decision on what they think as it's been discussed.

There's some really good stuff in Off Topic, threads like the running one, weight loss and defo the mental health one, but like in wider society, there are subjects that will massively divide.

My rule is to (try) and not write anything you wouldn't say to someone's face. Too easy to hide behind a keyboard.

It's a little different though isn't it. Seemingly, Ring of Steel has had three accounts. Boosh must have had tens of dozens of accounts though, literally.

Just relentlessly coming back as a new poster over and over and over again.

Then winding people up.

Totally agree and to be fair sometimes I've said stuff and would deserve a slap for it when looking back.

Strangely, when people send me a message saying this I often think "actually, fair play yeah sorry".

There are people I've argued with over the years but if they posted needing help with something I could help with, I'd do my best to help them out.

well maybe I haven’t said some of the stuff they came out with, I dunno.

As I said to other people, the reason I had different accounts is that I had a load of shit going on personally, and I wanted to ‘start afresh’ without the legacy of getting sucked into rows, and yeah clearly that didn’t pan out too well- so when I came back this time I just thought what the hell. I only did post as I got a bit incensed by the stuff gimoc and gynns were posting.

So there you go.

Boosh and Greggs are funny with their winding up tbf to them, DoD is just a boring weirdo who's only enjoyment in life is trying to wind up others.

Yup when my wife had COVID everyone banded together to help me

Which is why it's a damn shame we have lost 2 good posters due to Grendel's trolling

Get them back and let's move on
