THE FORUM AS IT IS NOW

[GranadaJoe]

As somebody who checked into the 'locked' site virtually every day for weeks, just to see the same message that it was locked and then that it would be back up 'any day soon' only to find that it wasn't and then one day to find that it had disappeared, I googled for AFC forums and only came upon this site after some time, more by luck than design.
I then couldn't log in using my old details and had a dozen attempts with a new name etc before I finally got on.

Given my experience, it's likely that other posters have not found the new location and given up or gone elsewhere.
Is it not possible to send an e-mail to every previous contributor to let them know we're back in business (sort of)?

At least then we would have made an effort to resusitate the previous vibe, because I agree that the site is not as interesting as previously.

This place is a Joke OTT over zealous plums as mods pretending that their bieng oh so fair whilst pursuing their own agenda's handing out red n yellow cards for those that dont suit them .

Talk about giving people a little power it goes straight to to their heads !

Mugs !

Admin It wasn't just the people on here it was some of the morons who admin-ed it that turned the forum so poisonous !

Either close it or take the gloves off !

What are you talking about? Examples please.

[Herd]

[Henry Norris 1913]

Of course most of us have toned down our posts to avoid abuse etc, but I still don't understand the rest of your post.

Eh? He warned Red because he was getting on everyone's mammaries and I think he might have locked 3 threads, 2 of which were duplicates and one resurrected from 3 years ago.

But you're right, all of us are power crazy and will not be happy until this is a mods only forum.

[Herd]

It's just one example Chips,the whole tone of the place since it's recent resurrection is somewhat austere if not outright sterile !

Note the clown that is Mr Norris the terror of stamford bridge is back is back snapping like a dog again !

I'l leave it there lest I be called a spastic again !

Bit more than warning......poor old Red's been banned twice for doing nothing !

[Chippy]

I'm not going to change your perception, or those that think we are now somehow in the pocket of the club. All I can re-iterate is that we have been asked to clamp down on personal abuse and excessive swearing, and keep any dodgy (lovely) photos off the footy threads and make it clear in the title if they are nsfw. NOTHING ELSE.

The prolonged shutdown did take the steam out of things, but hopefully with an exciting end to the season and even more exciting transfer window, things will heat up again.

Oh Herd a grown man getting so annoyed by a football forum. Im happy to explain any actions ive made to anyone on here but i know you dont want to read or understand them so its pointless. We've had some banter and a bit worse over time and we've both taken the piss out of eachother but im suprised you hold such a dislike of me oh well you cant win them all.

Now this isnt a threat but just some common sense if Herd, playing mantis or FrankButcher and ive only said these names because they have been the ones moaning recently dont like it here then stop posting. Personally i dislike twitter therefore rarely ever go on there but i dont demand its shut down Stear clear of the things you hate, isnt it common sense?

[augie]

You would think so wouldnt you ? It's bloody ridiculous staying on any forum just to complain - if you dont like then say your piece, get it off your chest and then move on ffs

I love reading what you write and find that your experiences following the Arsenal mirror many of mine. As a new mod I have sat back and watched how things are done. I haven't dished out a single red or yellow card, nor called for the need to delete a single post. I have moved two posts and locked three, two of which were mine lol

I am not over zealous and I don't think my new 'powers' as you put it has made any better a poster or any worse a poster. I remain fair and watch carefully for any misdeameanour as that is what I volunteered to do so.

I respect every single member of the forum and will always give the benefit of doubt to any WUM or troll but will never be involved with their posts In any vitriolic manner.

All in all I feel it is unfair to have any criticism that is not warranted of any moderator who tries to keep this place as clean and tidy as it is possible to do so.

Please continue to post your excellent points of view, but also please don't tarnish us all with the same brush of which you have perhaps needed to use with other mods...it's all opinion of course, but I am as much a Gooner as you are.

Cheers pal
