#DeathOfDemocracy

 

Not sure that would work, somebody could get someone banned very easily.

 

so funnyshock

 

Ban u mean m8

 

I remember it well. It was the beginning of the end for the site.

 

Is this thread about Brexit?

 

@Park bantam will get upset if you don't go with the decision of the vote

 

Some folks can't wait to stir the pot.

It's fine as it is by me but by all means have a disagree rating but why the need for poops when a simple disagree will suffice.

 

So just a disagree rating would do as @Klaatu is suggesting or put said poster on ignore, but unfortunatly in many cases its the poster rather than the post, some never want to let the past go and make it obvious to anyone who has been posting on this and previous sites so obvious.

 

I note that it's the Arse-ians that are wanting wind up ammo in the main..

 

I note it's mainly you acting like a 3 year old and complaining. Grow up and grow a set, life's much better when you don't take it too seriously.

 

829 odd members, and me then

 

Everyone wants the Hats Off back

 

Possible reply #1: Poop.

Possible reply #2: You're talking shit.

Possible reply #3: I have to disagree with you on this. It is a useful skill to be able to disagree with people without becoming disagreeable yourself. Both of my first two possible responses could certainly be seen as me making myself disagreeable, especially as we're dealing with the written word here and can't tell by expressions or gestures just how serious the responses are. Even with smilies etc., people get the wrong impressions from some posts. So anything that makes posters think a bit is good by me. I'd also suggest that it is common courtesy to give some sort of explanation if one dislikes/disagrees with a post, and lay out one's own position in return.

(That starts sounding rather pompous, doesn't it; certainly professorial. Humour me; the professorial manner sticks with one, even in retirement.)

So I like it as it is; a few more of the positive ratings wouldn't hurt, though one can use the 'like' to stand in for funny/thank you/useful/agree. If negative ratings are to come in, I'd suggest a 'disagree' only.

The only problem I see, is posters with a lack of a sense of humour.

 

The Hats Off thread was a light hearted bit of fun highlighting people who got upset about being disagreed with, meh'd, or poop'd. It wasn't exclusively for poops although that was the main culprit in upsetting delicate souls.

Most people saw the funny side, had a little giggle to themselves and agreed that they'd been over sensitive. Some people took it very personally which is silly.

The C&B forum was Claret and Banter. Banter has become a bit of a cringe word of late, a bit Partridge if you will. I take banter to mean a bit of gentle ribbing back and forth.

This forum doesn't seem to be about having a bit of fun which is a shame.

 

Walter White definitely did step down because you (and another) were allowed back on C&B Bronco. He posted it on the Cows Arse forum as the reason for his resignation. If I could be arsed I'd screen shot it and post it for you.
