Getting more than a little fed up with the recent fractiousness on here. There seem to be two groups of posters some of whom's main interest in being on here is to have pops at the other. That then leads to someone reporting a post, PMing or emailing me about the other.
Not really sure what to do about it, does seem some posters have unhealthy obsession with others, which is causing the rest of us, especially me a problem. I could ban all those involved on both sides en masse, who I'm sure most other posters could name, but that seems a little draconian and no doubt none of them would feel they had any blame.
Any thoughts? A number of those regularly involved with up arrow this post and tell me I'm right to call this out, as happens every time I make a similar request for the bickering to stop.
This site is always going to be a broad church of people from different backgrounds, ages, genders and views, so not everyone is going to agree with everyone or see everything posted as in the same way and I think there needs to be a bit more tolerance.
But more than anything far less winding up and chipping away at other users, deliberate attempts at subverting other people's threads etc.

It wouldn't take long to work out that a shadow banned poster doesn't have any replies. View count would be lower than surrounding posts. Posts would also be invisible when not logged in. I have thought about this before but it's a lot of work for not much benefit. |
And then the shadow banned posters would form a fraternity outside of the forum and just keep up the 'bad' behaviour - reporting it all back as soon as they could get a chance. Yes, I'm thinking about the double secret probation in 'Animal House'.... |  |

Blueas is having a snipe at another poster on a thread asking posters to stop sniping at each other is the long and the short of it. Some people can't help themselves it seems. |
Not a snipe at all! Just an example of an irrelevant post. It doesn't mention anyone specific. Stop looking to cause trouble. |  |

I have to admit, your examples were oddly specific if you weren't trying to snipe at people in particular. Just because you're not attaching a name it doesn't make it any less obvious. |  |

It’s like the scorpion and the frog pleading to cross the river, the frog agrees, and half way across the river the scorpion kills the frog.
The dying frog says why, and the scorpion replies, it’s in my nature. |  | | |

Absolutely no reason for you to post, it was clear what he did and now you and him are trying to make out it's others causing the issue looking for trouble.

Not quite sure that story is a good analogy in this situation...

I'm not sure it's a right as such, more a privilege? | |

Why don't you try enforced mutual ignores for those who keep going for each other? |  |

But then we'd have proxy wars, which can get even more brutal!
Personally I think we should all take psychometric tests to see whether we're of sufficiently sound mind to be allowed to contribute....ah.... | |

We can do that but as discussed the ignnore system needs improvement. Plus I think we'd have to employ someone to it. | |

Because it simply doesn't work - Gav did that with someone (since banned) & myself - the bannee simply got round it by reading everything whilst not logged in, pulling down a 'reply' box while still in that status, only then logging in & able post his abusive comments - even though he needed to log out to be able to read them! |  |

What about an instant ban? Just get rid. You always flush a poo, not leave it bobbing around pretending it doesn’t smell. |
You say that.... | |

Erm, there's already the option to only view football threads or general threads. |
Correct but a lot of political posts appear on the football side and hence a lot of the playground mus slinging ……don’t allow them to appear on the football side . | | | |

That elite type Blueas needs to go and then there can be a hostage swap with that Footers chap.....not that either would last long after the exchange! |  |
