šŸ”ˆ Site announcement: Things that we think you should know

Yeah we all got sucked in by that, but we stay for the fish puns and the slightly more optimistic than average views on Saints prospects.

Not me. I was sucked in by the prospect of a place I could never get banned from :wink:

Sooner or later you’ll crack, and ban yourself.

This’ll apply to most on here. Maybe use the compo money to buy-out the site from the owners and set up that bloody exclusive champagne lounge we were all promised back in the day…

What is the provenance of this wonderful offer?

I know, but I’d like to know that you know.

@scotty knows.

EDIT: In case he’s thinking of spilling the beans…

They stole it from Viz.

Is Cobham so bereft of culture that it doesn’t carry Viz? You can subscribe, y’know :wink:

It said Viz on the thread. Assumed you would notice.

I came across it while browsing today. Didn’t realise we had to quote original sources now :roll_eyes::wink:

I am sated. I feared for a moment that you might be taking it seriously. The missiles have been recalled.

As if… :joy:

Many rational explanations that don’t require you to be permanently broken, mucker.

  • You could be caned
  • A slipper the memory

(Kill me now, the aformentioned fifteen year old version of me would not have wanted this…)

I think you’re already in big trouble with @Intiniki this evening tbf :joy:

Seeing a few more users hit the ignored user report. This makes me sad. I’m not on any of the lists like, which is surprising, but it’s not something I’m a huge fan of, but I accept that it can be a necessary evil when you’ve got a troll on the rampage.

These are the reasons I hate the ignore functionality for anything else than a rampaging troll.

  • I just see it as a lack of self-control. I’ve been on forums for over a decade and have ignored precisely no-one.
  • In many cases, it’s used as a sanction.
  • It leads to crappy ā€œcan you not quote his posts. I have him on ignoreā€
  • It goes against the Sotonians maxim of freedom of speech.
  • It assumes that the poster is never going to say anything of value again

Having seen the people that are ignored, I would not class any of them as rampaging trolls. I get the sense that they’re just sanctions, undeserved and that doesn’t sit right with me.

I’ve got no dog in this fight. Amazingly I am not on the list. But it’s disappointing to me as site owner to see people get ignored that should be celebrated.

I won’t stop anyone from ignoring anyone else, nor will I ever say who is ignoring whom, but at the same time, I will take a dimmer view of anyone making capital out of ignoring someone.

If need be, I will take my dwarven arse into Mount Badgium to create an ignore bore badge for anyone that boasts about ignoring someone.

If you genuinely can’t handle someone, fair enough, but don’t keep burying someone already dead to you.

I would much prefer that all ignores were rescinded in peace time.

You seem slightly offended that you aren’t on anyone’s list?

I don’t ignore anyone on this site, but the reason for that is twofold - 1) Generally people on here are alright, and 2) I don’t know how to.

Power’s gone to his head. You should see him with his neighbours.

He shouts ā€œMOVE YOUR FUCKING CARā€ and then whips out his Sotonians mod credentials on his phone like an FBI agent.

The Bournemouth lot don’t know what the fuck he’s waving, but they get a faint whiff of football, and they don’t really understand what football is down there, so they comply.
