REAL forumers unite.

[madandra]

Lads and Lassies,

I have just logged on and I am disgusted by the comments made by some of the newbies. This is not a forum owned by US. We use the site provided by the magazine and I am fed up watching/reading a few people not interested in golf come on and ruin what was a very welcoming forum. Every time I open a new post by a new member I am expecting some reference to something wholely unsuitable for a golfing forum.

I am asking you all to add your support with a comment and let these people know that they will not win. I am sure a few peoples IP addresses will be blocked ASAP.

I've found the most soul cleansing way of dealing with these hijackers is for me to post my vent voicing my displeasure and then adding them to my ignore list so I don't have to read any more of their posts until the moderators get to grips with them

 

[TonyN]

As above for me too! Come on guys lets just phase them out by ignoring them, they only want a reaction and when they dont get one, they will look else where!

I am in full support of getting rid of theses morons. To be honest it looks like Paul is doing a great job tonight deleting inappropriate posts and to be honest I feel sorry for him having to give up his time to do that (Thanks a lot Paul). I just hope as you say the IP Adresses are blcoked as well as their user account being deleted. Glad the forum has got throguh the worst of this patch now and is still going strong with many people still offering great contributions. Long may it continue.

Here here and Paul, thanks for giving up your time to deal with the morons we are being plagued by.

Signed.

Don't forget the 'alert moderator' button on the toolbar. It gives the mods. a fast heads up.

 

[haplesshacker]

Where is that Billy? I can't seem to find it?

 

[Basher]

3rd icon along from post extras at the bottom of every post. Gotta say I've used it several times lately!

 

[haplesshacker]

Ah hah. Thanks.

Simple when you explore a bit!

 

[OldWindy]

Agreed.

Guys, I know it's personally satisfying to vent your spleen toward the perpetrators of the unsavoury but can I make a plea that you resist. It simply satisfies their need for attention and provokes futher outbursts.

As has been said, use the Notify Moderator button and set your Ignore button.

 

[tango101]

I must agree, I joined this forum to get tips on golf! I currently feel like giving the site a miss for a week or so and let the waters clear, this behavior from many sides is not why I am here, its like been back at school.

Can we get back to the sport! Please

 

[SS2]

Common sense must prevail here. I read many forums and this one has the best golf-related content, bar none. The mag is also the best of the bunch and I only hope that the moderator situation is resolved and that this forum returns to its usual self.

 

[Gasp]

I'm with all you guys. Bt let's not allow these guys to ruin what is a fantastic forum, just ignore them or PaulH please ban them. We have a fantastic site for genuine enthusiasts, if they turn one real golfer away they will feel they have won.

Had no chance to log on until sill o'clock this morning.

What on earth is going on?

Can someone tell me how to set my ignore buton please.

 

[madandra]

Nico, if a certain poster has offended you and you want to block them simply click on their handle/username and scroll down and under 'send private message' you will find a tab 'ignore this user' just click on that.

 

[viscount17]

Nico, you need to select the name of the poster to access their personal details. There are a number of options shown on this page, one of which is Ignore.

I see one or two threads have been removed.....good. We will always get the odd sad person.
