Duncan Edwards 2,428 Posted September 1, 2017 I have noticed that certain posters seem to be posting particularly to provoke people purposefully. Very unsavoury. It''s almost as if these people are trying to incite an argument or a reaction. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You usually copy and paste the info when new posters pop up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How strange and i am struggling to understand why as you ask Nutty. What on earth have yellowandgreen,Knock of Nige and the others done to deserve you not encouraging them to take part ?

TIL 1010 5,303 Posted September 1, 2017 Yes i did see that thread up until i went out at around 3pm and when i looked again late in the evening it had gone. I was not surprised as it was only heading one way. However i still do not understand why the new posters are not being encouraged to join in. Whatever went on surely has nothing to do with them ?

nutty nigel 7,963 Posted September 1, 2017 This is ridiculous!This is the 11th season of Rays Funds. You have been involved in most of them. Have you ever known me not welcome new posters or not be totally fair and even handed over everything to do with Rays Funds? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Len 74 Posted September 1, 2017 If you are anti-EU/pro-Brexit then beware of the EU thread (the one with 1000+ pages). It''s stocked with hooligans calling people names and labelling them a neo-nazi etc. Far worse than anything I''ve seen on the main board!By contrast the PUPs thread is quite pleasant, where even people who otherwise don''t get on seem to co-exist peacefully. I like to sit down with a cigar every Thursday night to review my choices for the week. I''ll often have a coffee and some music on in the background.

The gut 0 Posted September 1, 2017 I do wish whole threads were not deleted. I would like the offending posts to be replaced with something like " this post was removed from public view because .........."We lose the decent posts which people have put some effort into along with the offenders.

TIL 1010 5,303 Posted September 1, 2017 I obviously missed what went on after i went out but as i said what i did see led me to think it would end up the way it did. Somebody overstepped the line obviously but who made that fateful step i have no idea. I saw part of the thread not all of it before Peter The Deleter stepped in.

It doesn''t help anyone to have threads deleted. I guess it happens when the hotline to Archant is activated. I have managed to post for over 11 years without feeling the need to retort with report. I''m proud of Rays Funds and totally committed to putting that above and beyond any other considerations in this community. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hansterbubble 55 Posted September 2, 2017 Captain B, yes it''s our go to Friday night tea so I have followed scampigate with a keen interest.Didn''t there use to be a ''sticky'' thread that set out what the PUPs were all about, or have I misremembered that? I think I know more or less what it''s about as I saw an article a while back where a cheque was being presented to FONCY.Not sure of the mechanics of it all but it sounds like fun and I''d be happy to give it ago, although I''m not much of a tipster!
