Perhaps somebody off of on here might do a report and we can discuss differing views and opinions.

I didn't realise just how strongly some people felt about the non football forum closing. Did we ever really find out why they closed it?

I never thought the politics section was too bad. A couple of wind up merchants and one who seemed to resort to constant personal insults but in the whole I always found it interesting. I liked the fact that it attracted people from across the political spectrum as Norwich was the only common cause, whereas most message boards simply descend into echo chambers. Hopefully the bulk of the decent folk migrate across.
I agree with the football side though, outside of match days it normally just involves people slagging off the players they don’t like

For the games I can’t get to I don’t bother reading the pinkun write ups anymore Ric, just yours and the BBC one

It came out of the blue really, Morty. Yes some people's behaviour was a little questionable, but surely you deal with them individually, rather than impose blanket censorship? As Fen has stated, it was good to debate with people with differing views to your own, as well as with people you agree with. A tiny minority just happened to go too far sometimes.
What is also much missed by myself, is the humour that many people brought to that side of forum and it could be from anyone, at any time, as well as the TV, music and film threads, the nature threads and the many food related posts that just come out of no-where. I think Connor was very hasty in how he dealt with it.
I sincerely hope that this forums non-football attracts some of the old Pink-Un posters back and we can get the (healthy
) debate ticking along again. morty

I don't think that the forum there has ever been properly moderated. It always felt like someone logs in there for 20 minutes a day, looks at the reports to see who has had a moan, then just do the easiest thing possible and delete whole threads, so quite often the person will not even know why they have been moderated.It came out of the blue really, Morty.

I would always address the individual problem, and more often than not, the issue can be sorted. I guess the difference is that I am personally invested, and willing to put the time in.
I have had very few issues here, and as I said on page one of this thread, the only ones have really been pinkun posters bringing their old grudges, and frankly bullying someone else. Drop all the C bombs you like here, but I won't stand for bullying, or someone thinking they hold higher importance here.

Sounds fair. With the Pinkun I can put up with (ignore) decade long boring arguments about some financial minutiae, people having a massive strop, or even being a bit libellous. But collective bullying of posters who are a bit divergent or obsessive - or just a bit dickish - is uncomfortable. But I don't think I have a thick enough skin for the online world!

I have never liked the superior attitude of some people there, nobody is more important than anyone else, despite what a few of the usual suspects might think. It was me kicking back against that that earned me my ban lol.

Appreciate that some people may not like Football Finance but unfortunately it has become a far more important component than is desirable. One answer could be to put Football Finances in its own section.
The moderation process on here sounds good. No reason why current or historical affairs can't be handled similarly and some interesting debates facilitated.

There's a thread saying that it is, but I haven't had any issues myself.Is it playing up again?

It's almost as hit-and-miss as Big Dave Strihavka's finishing.

Yes, the good ol’ Pink Un site is playing up again with patchy access to the message board.
Keir Starmer wanging on today about Britain being a ‘ world leader ‘ in AI technology. Perhaps when it is maybe he can arrange for some of it to trickle down to the 19th C set up at Newsquest ?
