Sportsssssss banter/arguments

[GommeInc]

If arguments are banned then this forum should be closed down and the maker of the rule shot a few times in the back of the head. Heck, we're arguing now. I hate how ignorant some people are of the term "argument" and what it means. Seriously, some people DO need a slap and Immenseman (which his shiny new ring *giggles*) should be the one to slap them :@

The forum is called Sports, a thread which is a discussion on sports isn't pointless. There were around three created, yet you think it's a problematic forum and want to appear like you're taking action against troublesome users so you issue a warning PM... on the back of a few thread which in no means represents the whole forum. Ridiculous.

Ryan, I'd happily knock some sense into various people who are nothing short of clueless.

A lot of users complain about the atmosphere in the sports forums.

I'm going to fully read the thread again but this bit came to my eyes.

Yet the Forum Manager has labelled it and I quote "a personal attack". Let me define attack for you.

If the so called Forum Manager, last time I checked was me? Thought that. Surely I would of reserved your infraction and remembered saying that to you? I checked my PMs, Msn and support tickets and have no evidence of me saying that to you regarding that infraction.

[Immenseman]

You didn't say it to me. You said it to someone else who has no interest in the situation thus wouldn't care. It's funny how you can even view that post and think it's fair. Yet I was called an attention seeker which is actually aimed at me yet said individual didn't get an infraction yet I get one for telling someone when it's their team, it's different. I think we need a new (Assistant) Forum Manager to ensure changes, regardless of controversy will be implemented rather than letting things slip any more. That's just my opinion.

Nevermind, found it.

You can't have sports without banter. Everybody has to face it. You've just gotta take it on the chin and get on with it. Some people can give it but can't take it back. If you can give it, you've gotta be able to take it. If someone gives it to you, give it back. You argue about sport, we all do. You can argue for weeks on end about it and that's what make sport what it is. If people really take offence to some banter in a sports forum then, well....

If people start becoming personal then fair enough. If I was to say someone about one's family or one's appearance then fair enough, it shouldn't be said.

[Immenseman]

Exactly. At the end of the day we wouldn't bother posting throughout this thread if we didn't care about this specific forum. I will happily admit I enjoy coming on HabboxForum and I'm the most active poster on the whole forum. One of my favourite forums are sport, yet this tampering is creating such an awful atmosphere.

The friction between the moderation team and posters in said forum is really quite bad, because the forum is being singled out and we're basically being told what we can and can't post.

I've had a reassuring PM from an AGM telling me they will bring some things up in the AGM forum. At least I know my posts have been listened to and to some degree agreed with. I will happily swallow my posts that current management wouldn't consider other changes to aid the users should things happen. Dare I dream...

shut it sheep ****ger

hi, right let me makes some points

• i once again reccomend making a hxf council however you pick someone from each section to report back to whoever on what they think should be done say each month/two weeks/w.e and this way that person knows the ins and outs of that section. obviously there's one for sports, one for runescape and online games, one for console games. there could be a few but at least the community gets their say, right? loads of points could be brought up about members, ways to increase members/specific rules etcetcetc.
• right, that's one idea. next one isn't an idea but i just think that you can't have a forum without arguments. a forum is a debate and a debate is an argument and that's what makes forums great. bare that in mind please.
• sports is dominated by around 10 members. i use the word dominated losely but the same 10 or so members post their week in week out and i'm pretty sure it's the same for most forums so personal attacks won't happen (at least ones that are offensive) and if they are offensive the report button is there for a reason? yeah? i said to oli that if someone feels really offended by something then they should report it - otherwise they can't be that offended by it, can they?

that is all i have to say on the matter at the moment i will leave you to brew over the ideas and make a cup of tea telling us what u r planning to do. thank u very much for your time, i've been thyflux.

Yeh the moderating is awful, we need someone like me, who knows the beautiful games to mod that section.
