Another not overly pleasant day on here, even though we've had a signing, even if not a particularly high profile one.
Despite its not particularly brilliant or insightful starting point the 'All these protesters' thread has rather got to the crux of one of the bigger issues at the moment.
There are a number of posters who, rather than engaging in debate on an issue - political, brexit-related usually - post an insult aimed at a group they disagree with or something deliberately inflammatory without having any intention of involving themselves in any actual debate. It's all got very snipey, not just at other users but in a wider sense, protesters being today's target.
The forum has always been a friendly, inclusive place, welcoming to all, a community. Disagreements and argument maybe, but for the most part there's been an underlying geniality and good humour, posters have helped one another out and looked out for one another. This does appear to be being undermined by the recent unpleasant undertone.
While we've always been the ones running the site, we've never sought to be overly dictatorial. We've often put matters relating to it to posters. I don't particularly like banning people (although we have banned one user as Gav had an investigate and discovered a long-banned user with a new name), I usually give posters more than enough warnings to give them ample chance to use the board in line with the manner in which most others post.
Should we be a bit more draconian in how we police this sort of thing? Getting a bit fed up with how the last few days have progressed. We've gone from abuse PMs being a rarity to them becoming frequent most days. Have had a fair bit going on away from TWTD lately and haven't really needed the additional unnecessary hassle.
Obviously the sort of nonsense outlined above needs to end or we will have to ban a few more users, but any thoughts on how else we can try to get things back to normal?

What do you mean it?
If it makes you feel better ban me then.
You are a bigger mug than I thought if you can’t see who the trouble makers on this board are.
Do me and yourself a favour delete my account.

Doesn't have to be like that.
Air your grievances, get it out, then we can start fresh.

Good riddance.
Shows how twisted this place makes him that he can be so openly disrespectful to Phil.
It's a blatant power play. He's calling Phil's bluff. He's like a Raptor, testing the fences to see what he can get away with.

Funny stuff that someone who often accuses others of taking the board too seriously regularly flounces off. He'll be back.
Like I said, he's family. Bit of a black sheep but he's our black sheep.

That's not very impartial. Keep yourself impartial for the mod elections coming up
Early polling gives me a massive lead thanks to backing from both the LeftyBumFest and the Woodland Lads Alliance.

26_Paz - Could you explain why you've felt the need to downvote all of my posts on this thread today, seemingly without reference to any of their content?
It seems you have taken a dislike to me but are unable to express it using English.
If English is not your native language I can arrange an interpreter for you.
It just seems you're continuing to do something that's clearly been set out as not forum best practice. I'm a nice guy if you get to know me. Not sure why you'd want to blanket downvote all my posts. If I've upset you I apologise.
Best,

Downvote stalking seems to be all the rage among the hard of thinking this summer.
On the one hand it is a trivial matter, but on the other it's such a wimpy passive aggressive way of gradually annoying someone, like a fly buzzing repeatedly in your face, that I think a zero tolerance approach should be taken.
It is a crime only surpassed by not responding to heartfelt PMs in a timely manner.
