Me for starters 😀

I don't think any poster.should be singled out but just make it a general rule.  It could be 5 or 10 per day on one thread. Stops relentless spamming .

The name's Sid, kid.

Appears to have recently been made redundant/the subject of a trial separation/taken up full-time alcoholism.

Whatever, the guy's got way too much time on his hands, and I'm not sure why the rest of us have to suffer.

Ridiculous idea, what if you're having a genuine debate about a topic?

God I remember that one time where a few lads proposed vote banning people like it was an online version of Big Brother. LOL

I know spam and pointless debates are tiresome and an eye sore to read but people don't half come up with stupid ideas to try and combat it!

I can't imagine too many people being put out by being restricted to 10 posts on a single thread in one day. Thst doesn't stifle debate. 

Anyway just an idea.

In the year 2035 if this forum is still going people will look back on posts from 2020 and will agree, yes that year really was mad as a box of frogs

You don't have to keep replying to them, or even read their posts

There's plenty of people on here I completely ignore these days

Problem is that you log in and then see who the last posters were on a thread and decide same old same old I've better things to be doing
I could agree with you but then we'd both be wrong.

Isn't that why numerous long time posters have either stopped posting or rarely post at all?

Granted it might not be for everyone but the ignore button would be a great option for users to have. 

The amount of repetitive nonsense and unfunny "jokes/puns" that take over thread after thread means people are just logging in and logging back out straight away.

I get that its just a forum, not to be taken as life or death but all reasonable debate seems to be lost.

Eire 32, Philly, Tribalarmy etc and then you have lads like Guf, El Nino, Deco etc who rarely post.

I fully get people move on from posting on internet forums, I don't post too much myself lately but I've no doubt many are in the same boat due to the amount of waffle and endless spamming etc that its not worth the hassle.

The rest of the world section is a disgrace, never seen anything like it in my life. Lads talking to themselves day in day out Wacko
