....we often see the comment: "if you don't like it you can switch to football only".
This almost entirely applies to people commenting on the relentless political posts on here.
Would it be possible/sensible to add "politics" as a specific section for those that enjoy that type of thing?
At the moment "General" is just too, well, general.
If someone wants to avoid the relentless political posturing and abuse it also means you have to miss all other posts relating to anything other than football.
All other sports, travel, food, Friday poo, Keno perving, Facters reminiscing, etc, etc shouldn't get lost just because of a desire to avoid politics.
Appreciate it's additional work, but over the last year the board has become pretty unusable for any poster that doesn't want to wade through political arguments.
I know I'm not the only one that thinks this.
Lots of love Blooters.

If anyone Googles "You could have just typed..."

You're a Tory aren't you?
That's what this is really about. |
....with UK politics that I haven't voted for any of the major parties for years.
On the rare occasions that I do comment on politics I'd suggest that it's pretty clear I'm not a Tory.
But of course that's not how this place works. | |

Doesn't sound a bad suggestion to be fair, to have more filters. Can't say it bothers me personally but if it puts people off using the forum then that's not good. Of course it'll rely on people using them properly, sh1t in sh1t out etc. But that's the case currently anyway.
Not that I'm in a position to suggest how to run this place, if I had my way there would be about 5 people left on here thanks to my ban hammer. |  |

I got some totally unwarranted abuse from a couple of posters on here a while back, because of politics and my lack of involvement in the arguments.
One of them still follows me around trying to stir it up, so yeah I have changed. | |

The worst thing is when people don't use the subject to describe the thread. You then have to click on it to work out whether you want to read it or not. It would also help us financially too because search engines can include it when the general public are searching for things we're talking about.
Our busiest thread was clearly labelled "The Ashes 2017/2018 Thread" and had nearly 250k views. Maybe we're covering the wrong sport...
As for the suggestion, it does create work especially when people complain that a thread is in the wrong section. |
But isn't that what the red cross is there for, if you do open it up and decide it's not one for you, you can instantly see no more of it, rather than having to 'wade through' it? |  |

Personally I feel it's easy to avoid the political threads if they annoy/upset/don't interest you. Seems a bit of a non-issue? |  |

Well you should at least try to throw in one bad bird pun.
For old times sake.
I've always got on fine with you and am not in any rush for that to change. | |

Well its one way, down to personal choice. Some hate the idea of putting people on ignore and others have 20+. Ignore thread is probably essential on thread view, but less so on table. Titling threads correctly is important to me though, one of my pet hates. |  |

I think we should all take note of what Gav is saying here and make sure it title our threads properly ....
Something is puzzling me a thread in view is called a thread, whats it called in table view? |  |

That’s all very well Bloots but your lack of enthusiasm for discussing the Colonisation-based legacy of transphobia the LGBTQX people of Eritrea encounter every day in their country, and the intersectionality with queer discourse in this country, is very telling and it makes you basically Hitler you know. |  |

Oh yeah, nowhere. |

If you post a pic of said receding hairline Phil can decide whether to invite you on to the follically challenged sub-group where all we talk about is Norwood's transplant, Richard Chaplow's goal and John Wark. [Post edited 19 May 2022 14:04]

....then ran off for a few days, came back and has just recruited a couple of other bootlickers to take his place.
When things get a bit too hot for him, he just posts about cake for a couple of days, waits for the heat to die down and then starts again.
If it wasn't so pathetic it would be funny. | |
