1. Come up with a method of banning the repetitive trolls
2: Get the issues that are listed fixed.
3. When a URL is pasted into a post - the forum should know it's a link and create the link automatically.

It's open season on here for anyone who wants to derail topics. There's some serious underhand PR going on and it must be like shooting fish in a barrel. Is there anyway to get more detail, verification on who people are before they can post. Or keep the open forum and have a separate one within thats closed, only for use by those who've signed up to the mandate (anyone on the payroll or relative would quickly show their spots and we'd all stop wasting time).

Dunno, just thinking like...

Also any chance of a pre post breathalyser..

All I did was rectify the error, sarcasm was received loud and clear. Removing unnecessary winking smiley's would be good too.

A limit on posts per day perhaps?

Seem's to be some amount of nonsense posted for the sake of it, threads being brought up with silly links, transfer stories that we all know about, silly recycled jokes, blatant spamming etc?

The ignore button is a must imo

Just in general mate, like some posters are commenting on everything literally for the sake of it.

Blatant spamming with sh*t jokes is creeping back in a lot too Dead

There should be a transfer thread and everything be it rumours, something you've made up, confirmed transfers etc should all be dumped in it. 

RTG can be very lawless but the ignore button works superbly.

The quality of posts have definitely gone down the last 2 month. You'd think ever since SByrne f**ked off they'd go better, but it's been the opposite LOL

Club specific threads in the ROTW section are absolute aids, all just contain the same sh*te "linked with" "rumoured this" atleast the Man Utd thread has a niche of Moleman taking on the entire thread, even if he's wrong on the statement LOL

I can tolerate spammy type of stuff in the Whatever section, unless it's Grubar who's very strange, never posted anything offensive, but strange nonetheless.

A lot of good posters have simply stopped posting which is a shame and it's because of the blatant spamming, sh*te jokes, transfer stories with links etc.

All very simple things that can be ironed out....

I rarely post much myself anymore because the standard of conversation is gone to sh*t on most threads.

I have a look at a fair few club forums over the course of a season, RTG must be the worst of them and by some way as well, although Blackburn fans are pretty deluded!

There's hardly any football being played at the moment. Only the domestic league, which is barely followed, the Confederations Cup & U21 Euro's. There's hardly anything to talk about football related. It's always quiet in here at this time. It's also over two months to the next Ireland match. 

I agree with a lot of what you're saying GD, I've no interest in clicking onto threads and it's just link after link of transfer rumours and the same one or two people posting absolute nothing but there's not really a lot happening. I'd say one the Champions League qualifiers start and one or two big transfers happen, it will pick up again.

We can all look forward to a cameo appearance from SA in a months time telling us why United will win the league, then resurfacing around Christmas time to tell us that United are right on track in 7th place and that anybody who knows their ball can see that being in 7th place is the best position to be in at the halfway point.

I think it's a simple feature which would lead to better communication on the forum and better debate most of the time, some debates are never followed up on because you have no notification unless you select the email feature even then who regularly checks their email I'd imagine also it would go to SPAM.

The dislike feature while it has it's benefits I think is dangerous as it may lead abuse.

It never really does though and even if it did, you would want extraordinarily thin skin to be perturbed by it.

This would be good.

Maybe "agree" and "do not agree" if people would get upset by a "dislike" button.

The obsessed few can have easy access to the whereabouts of all members at all times to find out why they haven’t been posting

So you can solve arguments on an Internet forum like "I wonder why he hasn't posted in a while" then so people can check Snapchat to see where he actually is atm.

I'd like to see a thread in the Rest of The World section for "reports" or "links" every second post seems to be "according to reports" or an article taken from somewhere or whatever.

Given that we all use google, read newspapers, watch Sky Sports News etc it's not as if we don't already know the obvious goings on in the footballing world.

There's nothing worse than logging onto a thread and you see 7 links or reports being posted daily.

Fair point alright. Every thread seems to have a load of new posts based on absolutely nothing.
I would also like to point out that I never watch Sky Sports News though. The breaking news of some lad signing a new contract at QPR or an update on how Team Moderate Gains are doing in the Giro has long since lost its appeal.

Bump Thumbs Up

Sick of seeing links and countless articles.

One thread pinned to the top of the rest of the world section for links.

Could they put vending machines in every section of the forum? I think a coffee machine would make the site money as well as increase footfall.

Greed has won, big finance has won. Whatever small role elite clubs still play in the local communities from which they grew is dwarfed now by their position as global brands.

No.  There is no money in apples.We would be aiming at the prospective type 2 diabetics. They spend all their money on sugar and carbs.

I use Adblocker on my PC but on mobile I get ads for a new FitBit.

Just because it's December there's no need to tell me I'm gonna be fat in 3 weeks time LOL

My ads make absolutely have absolutely no relation to my search history. Maybe whoever runs these cookie algorithms has a sense of humour, if so, well done, but I have no interest in investing in 'corporate apartments', which sound like they should be burned down, or in 'The Lion King' musical and least of all in visiting Australia.

Same here. Not a fan.
Still on mobile view, but the new layout is too big. 

Anyone still remember the old forum layout? Before the big update back in 2009 (I think)

All October and November I was getting them for the Royal British Legion and Help for Heroes, so that is almost certain to be next. At least both make sense based on location and searches!

Pages still jumping after the recent addition of ads. Seriously, how hard is it for whatever programer does this to rectify it

I have a new laptop and at first there were ads on ybig.  I downloaded Malwarebytes and now no ads.

Couldn’t agree more. Afew accounts on this site that I don’t even bother reading their posts. Every time I see their name on a post I scroll on. I would be confident to say a lot of people do it as well.

I think alot of people feel the same, I know plenty of lads who have stopped posting on here over the amount of sh*te certain people post.

Partly why I'd rarely post on here myself.

On the opening page the Ire v Eng memorial for Jack is getting to be a bit of an eyesore. Great cause but its up a while now.

Doesn’t seem to be anyone updating the home page anymore, all posts from 2 years ago at least.
