I think that’s what I said.
We have no desire to issue any bans, never mind “banning everyone for sometimes going a little too far” – although remember that bans can be for, say, 24 hours to get things cooled down. We’re not talking banning from the board completely. That’s reserved mainly for spammers.
But anyone who disrupts the flow of the board, discredits the board, or “spoils it” for the majority should look at what they are hoping to achieve. It isn’t a matter of content. All opinions are welcome. It’s about maintaining the (and I’m sorry to use the word that was used earlier today and criticised, but it is aposite) dynamic of the board.
I know a significant number of internet-using Latics’ supporters who when I ask “do you look at Cockney Latic” respond “No – load of rubbish talked on there”. And they don’t mean the opinions about team performance.
The best option for all is to ignore what you think should be ignored rather than rising to it.
I should however also point out that this is not just about one poster – it is a general thought. Bans however are a last resort, and are unlikely to happen. I hope.
