I can't miss what I already have ignored. But was there ever a more pretentious poster?

This forum is losing it's better posters, to mob bullying. TWTD use to be a great place but it's getting toxic. |  |

It's why I rarely post. As the poster above commented the paid users (aka the mob) are allowed to get away with bullying etc on a daily basis. But someone deletes their posts after the mob start trawling back through their history and they get banned. |  | | |

Bit of a love in for Stokie on here which is fine as he seemed a nice enough poster. And he was undoubtedly intelligent with his posts.
That said, let’s not pretend he wasn’t very subtle in some of his comments if you were on the wrong side of him. For a while he prodded at me for a good few weeks about my view on something or other years ago - bringing it up repeatedly in very distinct yet subtle ways. We got in fine in recent years but I can see why he would cause reactions from some those who are not quite as mature or as brilliant as folk like me.
All that said - I do wish him well and hope all is ok. Am sure he will be back soon. Nobody really ever leaves this place. [Post edited 2 Jul 2024 14:44]

Hope SB is back soon and well.
Had a minor fallout about a decade ago when I ran an online manager league where he was unbelievably good to the point where it was quite suspicious and I got complaints from other players. Consulted the people who ran the whole game who didn't think what he (and Cotty) were doing was realistically above board and ended up banning him on the basis of this.
Some time later, with some backtracking from those running the game, when it was far too late, they admitted it was actually possible to work out the game if you were clever enough.
Of course, having got to know SB and Cotty through their posts it turns out they were both very nice and very bloody clever individuals who I am now 100% certain did nothing wrong. Has always annoyed me since that the guidance I got initially was to boot them out rather than the game admitting it wasn't anywhere near as sophisticated as it made out when up against mathematical titans or those willing to do a good deal of research and experimentation. I think their intelligence has always come across clearly in their posts here.
You live and learn. Have always enjoyed their posts since and both struck me as very decent people.
All the best SB (and apologies again!). No idea what happened but look forward to seeing you back at some point. [Post edited 2 Jul 2024 14:56]

I find to the contrary, it’s far less toxic than it used to be. Some people have short, or selective memories. Phil and Gav have done excellent work on booting out the worst offenders.
And a general point - the supposed favouritism towards those who pay to be ad-free is absolute bllx. Again, don’t know why those who have such an unjustifiably low opinion of Admin carry on using the site. |  |

Fair enough. I have no idea what you're talking about, with regards to paid members, I've never mentioned anything about it and don't know who pays or doesn't. | |

Re your second point on “paid members” - I was referring to the comments by NorthYorksire and another about those who pay a small annual subscription to be ad-free on here - sorry if I didn’t make that clear. | |

There are literally a handful of people who do that, not something we've ever really promoted. |  | | |

The number of people now having their initials on here when they sign-off. You really think that’s helping? There are real people behind screens here. What’s the point of Phil’s regular posts?
It’s really pathetic. |  |

Hang on, this is nonsense (assuming you mean paying rather than paid). There's literally about 10 of them and as far as I'm aware, none of them are those that have been involved in this. | | | |

I thought that was quite light-hearted to be honest. The fact that Stokie remembered to do it with every post was quite impressive. | | | |

You can pay to avoid adverts. Pretty sure it was (now banned) Jeera who first suggested it - during CV. Which does kind of make the idea that subscribers are treated preferentially seem rather far fetched. |  |

Ha! It's just something for people who want to avoid ads, affords nothing more than that. I wouldn't know who has paid without checking with Gav, who has the spreadsheet. | | | |

As I say, I don't readily know who is on the list. Think it goes back further than that though. Think it was first requested by someone who had poor Internet access back in the day. | | | |
